Comparison of Spleen-Preservation Versus Splenectomy in Minimally Invasive Distal Pancreatectomy
ConclusionsSpleen-preservation is not associated with increased risk of blood loss, longer hospital stay, conversion, nor lengthy OR times. Late splenectomy is very rarely required. Given the immune consequences of splenectomy, spleen-preservation should be strongly considered in MIDP. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

Postoperative Day 1 Drain Amylase After Pancreatoduodenectomy: Optimal Level to Predict Pancreatic Fistula
ConclusionDA-D1  <  720U/L after elective PD is a clinically useful predictor of CR-POPF. For patients with negligible to intermediate FRS, surgeons should consider utilizing DA-D1 <  720 U/L for removal of a drain on the first postoperative day. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

The Angle of His as a Measurable Element of the Anti-reflux Mechanism
ConclusionsIn this study, we developed an experimental model to enable careful evaluation of the elements of the anti-reflux mechanism, of which, the angle of His has a measurable element. We demonstrated that as the angle of His becomes wider the esophago-gastric orifice area becomes larger. Additionally, a wider angle of His and a larger esophago-gastric orifice area were correlated independently with more reflux. This suggests that the fundoplication creates an acute angle of His which is correlated with a smaller area of the esophago-gastric orifice and eventually with a lower incidence of reflux.

Comparing Outcomes of Minimally Invasive and Open Hepatectomy for Primary Liver Malignancies in Patients with Low-MELD Cirrhosis
ConclusionMIH for early-stage HCC/IHCC in low-MELD cirrhotic patients was associated with improved postoperative outcomes over OH. These findings suggest that MIH should be considered an acceptable approach in this population of patients. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)
