Predicting survival in locally advanced gastric cancer using prognostic factors - neoadjuvant rectal score and downstaging depth score
CONCLUSION: In summary, our research indicates that NAR score and DDS may serve as useful prognostic markers for predicting overall survival in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by curative surgery. Patients with high DDS and low NAR scores were found to have better prognoses.PMID:38568130 (Source: South African Journal of Surgery)

Comparison of the efficacy, safety and postoperative quality of life between modified side overlap anastomosis and double-tract anastomosis after laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy
ConclusionThe efficacy and safety of LPG with mSOA for PGC were comparable. When compared with the DTA group, the mSOA group seems to show reduced incidence of gastroesophageal reflux and improved QOL, which makes mSOA one of the ideal surgical methods for PGC. (Source: Updates in Surgery)

Cancer of the Esophagogastric Junction: Double Tract Reconstruction - Evidence and Technique
Zentralbl Chir. 2024 Apr;149(2):202-208. doi: 10.1055/a-2284-6597. Epub 2024 Apr 2.ABSTRACTAdenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) still represent a certain surgical challenge. In contrary to the trend of thoracoabdominal surgery for AEG I and AEG II cancer, the proximal gastrectomy is regaining popularity through new reconstruction methods such as the double tract reconstruction. Proximal gastrectomy followed by double tract reconstruction represents an alternative for the thoracoabdominal approach for suitable AEG II cancer and an alternative to the total gastrectomy for AEG III cancers.

The impact of the length of proximal margin on the prognosis of adenocarcinoma of gastroesophageal junction and strategies:A real-world study
CONCLUSIONS: For Siewert type II/III AEJ, a proximal margin length ≥1.2 cm (1.65 cm in situ) is associated with improved outcomes. These findings offer valuable insights into the association between PM length and outcomes in Siewert II/III AEJ, providing guidance for surgical approaches and aiding clinical decision-making to enhance patient outcomes.PMID:38565445 | DOI:10.1016/j.asjsur.2024.03.135 (Source: Asian Journal of Surgery)

Gastric paraganglioma: a case report and review of literature
Paragangliomas (PGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors which overproduce catecholamines (CAs). They are extra-adrenal, catecholamine-secreting tumors occurring outside the adrenal glands. Gastric PGLs originating from extra-adrenal paraganglia are exceptionally rare, and their presentation in geriatric patients further adds to the complexity of diagnosis and management. A 72-year-old male patient presented with enduring left upper abdominal pain and anemia persisting for over a year, and hypertension for six months. Physical examination revealed epigastric discomfort and pallor. Computed tomography scans revealed enlarged ly...

Bariatric Surgery in Patients with Achondroplasia, a Feasibility Study of Two Case Studies
ConclusionsBariatric surgery is feasible and effective in patients with achondroplasia, with good outcomes for excess weight loss and related comorbidities. These findings suggest that bariatric surgery should be considered a treatment option for patients with achondroplasia and obesity. (Source: Obesity Surgery)

Routine Upper Gastrointestinal Series Post-bariatric Surgery: Predictors, Usage, and Utility
ConclusionRoutine UGI series may be of limited value for the detection of anastomotic leaks after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy and patients should undergo routine imaging based on clinical parameters. Gastric bypass procedure and female gender were factors increasing the likelihood of routine post-operative UGI. Further larger scale analysis of this important topic is warranted.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)
