The Introduction of Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery: Can It Improve Hospital Economics?
Conclusion: During the introduction of laparoscopy for colorectal surgery, no significant differences were found in total cost between laparoscopic and open colorectal surgery. However, favorable postoperative outcomes were achieved with laparoscopic surgery.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Surgical Resection versus Re-Ablation for Intrahepatic Recurrent Hepatocellular Carcinoma after Initial Ablation Therapy
Conclusion: For intrahepatic recurrent HCC patients after initial ablation, surgical resection could provide better DFS than re-ablation, while no difference in OS was observed between the 2 treatment groups.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Clinical Outcomes of Proximal Gastrectomy versus Total Gastrectomy for Proximal Gastric Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: In conclusion, PG was associated with a visible improved long-term survival outcome for all irrespective of tumor stage, while a similar 5-year OS for only early gastric cancer patients between the 2 groups. Future randomized clinical trials of esophagojejunostomy techniques, such as DTR following PG, are expected to prevent postoperative complications and assist surgeons in the choice of surgical approach for PGC patients.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

C-Reactive Protein-Lymphocyte Ratio Identifies Patients at Low Risk for Major Morbidity after Oesophagogastric Resection for Cancer
Conclusion: CRP and CLR are reliable negative predictors of major morbidity, including AL, after oesophagogastric resection. Their use can inform patient intervention and recovery.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Prognostic Impact of Intra-Ampullary Papillary-Tubular Neoplasm versus Flat Dysplasia as Precursor Lesions of Ampullary Adenocarcinoma
Conclusion: FD was significantly associated with worse prognosis and a greater tendency toward advanced disease. Further studies are needed to clarify the impacts of these precursor lesions.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Hospital Variation in Cholecystectomies in The Netherlands: A Nationwide Observational Study
Conclusion: Hospital variation in cholecystectomies in the Netherlands is modest, cholecystectomy rates varies by #x3c;2-fold, and variation is stable over time. Cholecystectomies in hospitals with high adjusted cholecystectomy rates are associated with improved outcomes.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)
