Selective Decontamination with Oral Antibiotics in Colorectal Surgery: 90-day Reintervention Rates and Long-term Oncological Follow-up
ConclusionSDD as OAB is effective in reducing 90-days postoperative infectious complications and reinterventions. As such, SDD as standard OAB in elective colorectal surgery is highly recommended. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

Estimating Risk of Locoregional Failure and Overall Survival in Anal Cancer Following Chemoradiation: A Machine Learning Approach
ConclusionsWe developed and internally validated machine learning-based models for predicting outcomes in ASCC and showed higher accuracy versus LR for locoregional failure, but not overall survival. After external validation, these models may assist clinicians with identifying patients with ASCC at high risk of treatment failure. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

Effectiveness of 3-Day Prophylactic Negative Pressure Wound Therapy on Closed Abdominal Incisions in the Prevention of Wound Complications: A Randomized Controlled Trial
ConclusionThree-day NPWT applied to primarily closed incisions is effective in reducing the incidence of SSI, seroma, and delayed wound healing in abdominal operations compared to conventional gauze dressings. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

Diagnostic Accuracy of Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) in Detecting Colorectal Cancer Recurrence Depending on Its Preoperative Level
ConclusionThe diagnostic accuracy of CEA for detecting recurrence depends on initial CEA level. Regardless of the initial CEA level, elevation at recurrence was significantly associated with overall survival in patients with recurrent CRC. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

Emergency Colon Resection in the Geriatric Population: the Modified Frailty Index as a Risk Factor of Early Mortality
ConclusionIn the geriatric population, the use of mFI is a good predictor of early mortality following an emergency colon resection. This accessible tool could be used to guide the surgical decision-making. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

The Utility of Symptom Association Probability (SAP) in Predicting Outcome After Laparoscopic Fundoplication in Patients with Abnormal Esophageal Acid Exposure
ConclusionSymptom association probability with an abnormal DeMeester score did not enhance the prediction of antireflux surgery outcome. These findings suggest that SAP should not be used in surgical decision-making in patients with objective evidence of reflux.Graphical Abstract (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)
