Safe and Accurate Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy for Remnant Gastric Cancer With Severe Adhesions Using Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging: Guidance in Detection of the Accurate Dissection Layer to Avoid Organ Injury
Am Surg. 2024 Mar 28:31348241241720. doi: 10.1177/00031348241241720. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLaparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) for remnant gastric cancer (RGC) requires advanced techniques due to severe postoperative adhesions and anatomic changes. We performed LTG in 2 patients with RGC using intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging. Both cases previously underwent distal gastrectomy with Billroth-I reconstruction for gastric cancer and were subsequently diagnosed with early-stage gastric cancer of the remnant stomach. Indocyanine green (2.5 mg/body) was administered intravenously during surger...

Long-term cardiovascular risk reduction after gastric cancer surgery: a nationwide cohort study
CONCLUSION: Patients with gastric cancer who have undergone gastrectomy exhibit a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases in comparison to the general population. In contrast, the risk for cardiovascular diseases in patients with gastric cancer who underwent endoscopic resection did not demonstrate a significant difference in cardiovascular risk in comparison to the general population.PMID:38537066 | DOI:10.1097/JS9.0000000000001404 (Source: Cancer Control)

Prevalence of and Factors Associated with Financial Toxicity After Pancreatectomy and Gastrectomy
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with upper gastrointestinal cancer have a major risk of FT. In addition to predicting the FT risk before surgery, facilitating quicker functional recovery with the appropriate use of MIS is considered important to reducing the FT risk.PMID:38536586 | DOI:10.1245/s10434-024-15236-6 (Source: Ann Oncol)

Robotic vs. laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer: A propensity score-matched retrospective comparative study at a single institution
CONCLUSIONS: Although a single-center, small comparative study, the results showed that the robotic surgery group was not inferior to the laparoscopic group in feasibility and safety. Moreover, robotic surgery enables harvesting a higher number of lymph nodes, which may be more advantageous than laparoscopic surgery. This study also showed that as the surgeon gains experience with robotic surgery, its operative time becomes significantly shorter.PMID:38538396 | DOI:10.1016/j.asjsur.2024.03.086 (Source: Asian Journal of Surgery)

Nomogram for Predicting Infectious Complications Following Curative Gastrectomy Using Clinical and Laboratory Parameters
CONCLUSION: This study presents a novel estimating model for infectious complications following curative gastrectomy. The utilization of this model in patient discharge planning can aid in identifying individuals who require additional treatment, thereby minimizing unexpected readmissions.PMID:38537986 | DOI:10.21873/anticanres.16978 (Source: Cell Research)

Predictors of iatrogenic splenic injury in radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer
ConclusionsBMI≥25 and total gastrectomy can predict high risk of ISI during radical gastrectomy. Laparoscopic surgery is superior to open gastrectomy in lowing the risk of ISI. (Source: Frontiers in Oncology)

The Alarming Rate of Malnutrition after Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal Bypass. A single Centre Experience
ConclusionDespite good short-term weight loss and improvement of obesity-associated complications, SASI is accompanied by high alarming malnutrition, even in short-term follow-up. Novel MBS should be judged for their long-term effects and compared to well-tested standard operations before they are used in routine clinical practice.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

A randomized controlled study to assess the effect of mosapride citrate on intestinal recovery following gastrectomy
Sci Rep. 2024 Mar 25;14(1):7030. doi: 10.1038/s41598-024-57870-w.ABSTRACTThe enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol, including prokinetic medications, is commonly used to prevent postoperative ileus. Prospective studies evaluating the effectiveness of mosapride citrate, a prokinetic 5-hydroxytryptamine 4 receptor agonist, in patients undergoing gastrectomy within the ERAS framework are lacking. This double-blind randomized trial included patients who were scheduled for laparoscopic or robotic gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Participants were randomly assigned to either a control (placebo) or experimental (mosaprid...
