Impact of Early Diagnostic and Therapeutic Interventions and Clinical Course in Children and Adolescents with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Types 1 and 2
Conclusion This study described the relatively long clinical course of pediatric MEN with a mean follow-up duration of 7.5±3.8 years. Insulinoma was the first manifestation in children with MEN1. Early diagnosis by family screening during the asymptomatic period enabled early intervention. The patient with MEN2B exhibited the most aggressive clinical course.

Role of Age as a Predictor of Major Complications After Elective Surgery for Ulcerative Colitis
CONCLUSION: Age is a risk factor for the development of a major complication in UC patients undergoing elective surgery. However, it is not the only risk factor nor is it the one that increases the risk the most.PMID:38124317 | DOI:10.1177/00031348231216496 (Source: The American Surgeon)

The impact of patient activation on the effectiveness of digital health remote post-discharge follow-up and same-day-discharge after elective colorectal surgery
ConclusionLow PA remains an important predictor of surgical outcomes after elective colorectal surgery regardless of the use of a digital health application for remote post-discharge follow-up. This suggests that improving PA levels may improve postoperative outcomes. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Robotic natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) for anterior resection
Ann Coloproctol. 2023 Dec 19. doi: 10.3393/ac.2022.00458.0065. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMinimally invasive colorectal surgery is currently well-accepted, with open techniques being reserved for very difficult cases. Laparoscopic colectomy has been proven to have lower mortality, complication, and ostomy rates; a shorter median length of stay; and lower overall costs when compared to its open counterpart. This trend is seen in both benign and malignant indications. Natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) in colorectal surgery was first described in the early 1990s. Three recent meta-analyses comparing trans...

Risk Factors Associated with Postoperative Outcomes in Diverticular Disease Undergoing Elective Colectomy-A Retrospective Cohort Study from the ACS-NSQIP Database
J Clin Med. 2023 Nov 27;12(23):7338. doi: 10.3390/jcm12237338.ABSTRACTRecommendations for elective colectomies after recovery from uncomplicated acute diverticulitis should be individualized. The kinds of associated risk factors that should be considered for this approach remain undetermined. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with postoperative outcomes in patients with diverticular disease after receiving an elective colectomy. This is a retrospective study using the multi-institutional, nationally validated database of the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement ...

Increasing Adoption of Laparoscopy in Urgent and Emergent Colectomies for Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis
While minimally invasive surgery (MIS) approaches are commonly utilized in the elective surgical setting for pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC), their role in urgent and emergent disease is less clear. We aim to assess trends in the surgical approaches for pediatric UC patients requiring urgent and emergent colectomies and their associated outcomes. (Source: Journal of Surgical Research)
