Do regular morbidity and mortality conferences reduce preventable death rates? Our experience at Princess Marina Hospital
ConclusionOur findings suggest that routine M&MCs have the desired effect of reducing preventable death rates. Further studies are required to investigate this observed effect. (Source: European Surgery)

Unraveling the impact of interval length between neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery on perioperative and postoperative complications in rectal cancer patients
ConclusionA longer interval between nCRT and surgery in rectal cancer patients was associated with shorter operative times but longer hospital stays. No significant association was found between time intervals and complications, except for total complications, ileus/bowel obstruction, and stomal necrosis. Tim ely surgical intervention is crucial for optimizing outcomes. (Source: European Surgery)

Lymphatic node dissection in liver resection for colorectal metastasis
ConclusionThis systematic review deals with all aspects of lymphatic node dissection concurrent with liver resection. We found no evidence that systemic lymphadenectomy during liver resection would improve the survival of the patients. However, this pattern of extrahepatic disease can provide an important piece of prognostic information. (Source: European Surgery)

An unlikely path: hernia mesh migration
ConclusionThis case highlights the importance of recognizing and reporting this complication, a phenomenon which can occur at different time intervals after surgery. Reports are heterogeneous but crucial, because mesh migration can lead to a diversity of clinical conditions and potentially serious morbidity. The authors present a distinctive case of complete transluminal migration of a pr opylene mesh that was initially placed in the preperitoneal space several years before. The minimally invasive surgery performed was successful. Given the high number of these surgical procedures worldwide, a lower diagnostic thresh...

Comparison of conventional right colectomy and complete mesocolic excision technique —case–control analysis of short-term results
ConclusionComplete mesocolic excision (CME) for right-sided colon cancer is safe without increasing complications or hospital stay, with an acceptable increase in operative time. The significant increase in lymph node yield enables better staging and may lead to improved long-term oncologic outcomes. (Source: European Surgery)
