The death of laparoscopy
ConclusionsThe study suggests a transformative shift towards robotic-assisted surgery, poised to dominate various minimally invasive procedures. The forecasts indicate that robotic surgery may surpass laparoscopy and open surgery in colectomies, proctectomies, pancreatectomies, and esophagectomies by 2025. This anticipated change emphasizes the need for proactive adjustments in surgical training programs to align with evolving surgical practices. The findings have substantial implications for future healthcare practices, necessitating a balance between traditional laparoscopy and the burgeoning role of robotic-assisted sur...

High flow nasal oxygen < em > vs. < /em > conventional oxygen therapy over respiratory oxygenation index after esophagectomy: an observational study
CONCLUSIONS: HFNC improved the ROX index after esophagectomy through significant respiratory rate reduction. This tool should be considered for early respiratory support after extubation in this category of patients, not only as a rescue therapy for ARF, but also to optimize early postoperative respiratory function. Whether this will improve patients' outcomes requires further large randomized controlled trials.PMID:38505084 | PMC:PMC10944724 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1176 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)
