Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy vs. conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a meta-analysis of the literature
ConclusionThis meta-analysis demonstrated that except for improved postoperative pain at 24 h, SILC did not show improved outcomes when compared to CLC. With the presently published RCTs, we are unable to provide statistical analysis on further outcomes such as postoperative complications. Hence, the choice of procedure remains largely the decision of the operating surgeon. (Source: European Surgery)

Adenocarcinoma of the duodenojejunal flexure: our recent experience
ConclusionThe insidious onset and vague abdominal symptoms, even when the disease has progressed, coupled with the difficulty of viewing this location and performing a biopsy, make diagnosing these neoplasms particularly difficult. The only possible curative option is surgical resection. A higher degree of suspicion and a more aggressive and persistent investigation should lead to earlier treatment, a higher curative resectability rate, and therefore better l ong-term results.

Real-world evidence with magnetic sphincter augmentation for gastroesophageal reflux disease: a scoping review
ConclusionA consensus on acquisition and interpretation of high-resolution manometry and impedance planimetry data is needed to gain better understanding of physiology, to improve patient selection, and to pave the way for a personalized surgical approach in antireflux surgery.

Long-term results for palmar hyperhidrosis and palmar hyperhidrosis with axillary and/or plantar sweating: T3+T4 sympathicotomy vs. T4 sympathicotomy
ConclusionBoth T3+T4 sympathicotomy and T4 sympathicotomy were safe and effective, but T4 sympathicotomy led to a lower incidence of compensatory hyperhidrosis. T3+T4 sympathicotomy may be more suitable for patients with palmar hyperhidrosis accompanied by axillary and/or plantar sweating. (Source: European Surgery)

Perioperative management of pancreatic excretory function in the context of pancreatic head resections in PDAC patients
ConclusionThe perioperative use of somatostatin is superior to the use of a somatostatin analogue for POPF prevention in the context of oncological pancreatic head resections. (Source: European Surgery)

Prognostic significance of comorbidities in patients with diffuse peritonitis
ConclusionWe identified age, effusion type, and the presence of comorbidities as key factors for the prognosis of our patients —the morbidity and mortality rates were substantially increased in patients with two or more comorbidities, as well as by the presence of cardiovascular disease, malignancy, and hypertension. A more aggressive approach should be considered to improve the prognosis in these patients. (Source: European Surgery)

Early detection of COVID-19 cholangiopathy using cholangioscopy —a case report of two critically ill patients
ConclusionIn our opinion, a COVID-19 infection can lead to development of cholangiopathy in critically ill patients. Cholangioscopy performed early can confirm the diagnosis of COVID-19-associated cholangioscopy. (Source: European Surgery)
