Postoperative complications in elderly patients following pancreaticoduodenectomy lead to increased postoperative mortality and costs. A retrospective cohort study
Complications frequently occur after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy tend to be older; age and postoperative complication may be associated. To clarify this association, we compared postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy based on age group. We aimed to determine whether we could identify an age cutoff where the incidence and cost of postoperative complications starts increasing and potentially outweigh the potential benefits of pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Risk factors for postoperative severe morbidity after pheochromocytoma surgery: a single center retrospective analysis of 262 patients
Surgical resection is the primary treatment strategy for pheochromocytoma; however, it carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality. The risk factors for severe morbidity remain unclear and require further exploration. We aimed to identify the risk factors for severe morbidity after pheochromocytoma surgery in Chinese patients.

Prognostic role of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte ratio in prostate cancer: a meta-analysis of results from multivariate analysis
The prognostic role of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) remains inconsistent. Here we quantify the prognostic impact of these biomarkers and assess their consistency in PCa. (Source: International Journal of Surgery)

Analysis of the first 2645 registrations at the Research Registry ®: a global repository for all study types involving human participants
The Declaration of Helsinki has called for the registration of all research studies involving human participants. Despite this, prior registries did not allow registration certain study types, or retrospective registration. The Research Registry ® (www.researchregistry.com) was established in 2015 to provide a venue of registration for any study involving human participants. (Source: International Journal of Surgery)

Is opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy superior to closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy in treatment of unicompartmental osteoarthritis? A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is an effective surgical technique that can stop or inhibit progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA) and avoid or postpone the need for knee arthroplasty. This meta-analysis determined whether opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) was superior to closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy (CWHTO) in treatment of unicompartmental OA.

Title: Comparison of effects of four treatment methods for unstable intertrochanteric fractures:a network meta-analysis
The optimal internal fixation device for unstable intertrochanteric fracture remains a matter of controversy. By performing network meta-analysis, we developed a ranking of the following four surgical methods: proximal femoral nail antirotation, InterTan nail, gamma nail (GN) and sliding hip screws. We compare the complication rates in patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures. (Source: International Journal of Surgery)

Safe Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Systematic Review of Bile Duct Injury Prevention
Since the introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), a substantial increase in bile duct injury (BDI) incidence was noted. Multiple methods to prevent this complication have been developed and investigated. The most suitable method however is subject to debate. In this systematic review, the different modalities to aid in the safe performance of LC and prevent BDI are delineated. (Source: International Journal of Surgery)
