Development of an image-based Random Forest classifier for prediction of surgery duration of laparoscopic sigmoid resections
ConclusionA Random Forest classifier trained on demographic and CT imaging biometric patient data could predict procedure duration outliers of laparoscopic sigmoid resections. Pending validation in a multicenter study, this approach could potentially improve procedure scheduling in visceral surgery and be scaled to other procedures.

Role of visceral fat on postoperative complications and relapse in patients with Crohn's disease after ileocecal resection: Is it overrated?
ConclusionsRadiological visceral obesity variables were associated with postoperative outcomes or clinical recurrence in CD patients undergoing ICR. Preoperative measurement of visceral fat measurement is not specific for predicting postoperative complications or CD relapse. (Source: International Journal of Colorectal Disease)

The effect of nurse assisted colonoscopy on adenoma detection rates: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionEndoscopy nurses ’ participation in colonoscopy can improve the detection rate of polyps and adenomas, However, more research is needed to confirm the results. (Source: International Journal of Colorectal Disease)

Two-stage laparoscopic transversus abdominis plane block as an equivalent alternative to thoracic epidural anaesthesia in bowel resection —an explorative cohort study
ConclusionThe TS-L-TAP showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful benefits over TEA and OS-L-TAP in reducing postoperative opiate requirements. (Source: International Journal of Colorectal Disease)

Short-term postoperative outcomes for obese versus non-obese inflammatory bowel disease patients undergoing bowel resection: a propensity score matched analysis
ConclusionsObese IBD patients are at greater risk of postoperative in-hospital morbidity than non-obese IBD patients. This supports targeted preoperative weight loss protocols for IBD patients to optimize surgical outcomes. (Source: International Journal of Colorectal Disease)

Downstaging after preoperative chemoradiation for locally advanced rectal cancer is associated with better survival than pathologic stage 0 –1 disease treated with upfront surgery
ConclusionsLocally advanced rectal cancer downstaged after preoperative radiotherapy has significantly better survival compared to true pathologic stage 0 –1 disease treated with upfront surgery. Response to chemoradiotherapy likely identifies a subset of patients with a particularly good prognosis. (Source: International Journal of Colorectal Disease)

Evolution of surgical approach to rectal cancer resection: A multinational registry assessment
ConclusionsApplication and speed of implementation of MIS were highly variable between countries, but each registry demonstrated a significant increase over time. Local excision revealed inconsistent trends over time. (Source: International Journal of Colorectal Disease)
