National Trend in Laparoscopic Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer: Analysis of the National Register in Chile
Conclusions: There was an acceptable rate of postoperative complications and the long-term survival was in accordance with the disease stage. There was a higher indication of laparoscopic surgery in stages II –III disease, and higher lymph node count in the latter period of this study.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

The Role of Staging Laparoscopy in Resectable and Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: Staging laparoscopy reduces the non-therapeutic laparotomy rate, and in locally advanced or borderline resectable disease, staging laparoscopy could more accurately select patients for neoadjuvant protocols.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Associating Liver Partition and Portal Vein Ligation for Staged Hepatectomy in the Treatment of Colorectal Liver Metastases: Current Scenario
Associating Liver Partition and Portal vein ligation for Staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) has expanded the surgical armamentarium for patients with advanced and bilateral colorectal liver metastases. However, the enthusiasm that the medical fraternity had about ALPPS was hampered by a high mortality rate and early and frequent tumor recurrence. While surgical safety has improved, mainly due to technical refinements and a better patient selection, the oncological value in the face of early tumor recurrence remains unclear. The only randomized controlled trial on ALPPS versus two-stage hepatectomy (TSH) so far confirmed that ALPPS...

Clinicopathological Characteristics, Surgical Treatments, and Survival Outcomes of Patients with Duodenal Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor
Conclusion: The prognosis of duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumors was good. Limited resection seems to be oncologically feasible, with outcomes being less worse than those of pancreaticoduodenectomy.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Hand-Sewn versus Stapled Closure of Loop Ileostomy: A Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: There was no significant difference in the rate of anastomotic leakage between the hand-sewn and stapled techniques. The rate of small-bowel obstruction was higher in the hand-sewn group. Performance of bowel resection does not significantly increase the incidence of anastomotic leak or small-bowel obstruction.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)
