Optimal Timing of Fundamentals of Endoscopic Surgery (FES) Testing in General Surgery Residency: Early Is Better
ConclusionFundamentals of endoscopic surgery (FES) certification can be successfully completed by junior level general surgery residents regardless of previous endoscopic experience. Moving this exam to earlier training years can benefit resident development and preparedness in the clinical setting without negatively impacting pass rates.

Volumetric Remodeling of the Left Liver After Right Hepatectomy: Analysis of Factors Predicting Degree of Hypertrophy and Post-hepatectomy Liver Failure
ConclusionsVolumetric remodeling of the left liver after right hepatectomy is not uniform and is mainly influenced by gender and sacrifice of middle hepatic vein. Male gender, intraoperative transfusion, and biliary tumors increase the risk of postoperative liver failure after right hepatectomy. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

Timing After Neoadjuvant Therapy Predicts Mortality in Patients Undergoing Esophagectomy: a Propensity Score –Matched Analysis
ConclusionOur data demonstrates that patients who have a prolonged neoadjuvant therapy- esophagectomy interval will have a substantial increase in 90-day mortality. While there was an increase in pathologic complete response rates, this did not translate into an improvement in survival. The current recommendations of a neoadjuvant therapy-surgery timing of 6 –12 weeks should remain. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) and Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy with Dor Fundoplication for Esophagogastric Junction Outflow Obstruction (EGJOO): a Comparison of Outcomes and Impact on Physiology
ConclusionPeroral endoscopic myotomy and Heller myotomy with Dor fundoplication are equally effective at relieving EGJOO symptoms. However, POEM causes worse reflux and near complete loss of esophageal body function.Graphical Abstract (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

Reconsidering the absence of extrapancreatic extension in T staging for pancreatic adenocarcinoma in the AJCC (8th ed) Staging Manual using the National Cancer Database
ConclusionsEPEx was an important prognostic factor in the overall cohort and in differentiating between T stages. This study strongly suggests that staging systems should reinstate EPEx and apply it to all T-stages, especially in T1, where EPEx was absent in 36% of patients.

Pure Laparoscopic Associating Liver Partition and Portal Vein Ligation for Staged Hepatectomy (ALPPS) for a Giant Hepatocellular Carcinoma ( & gt; 15 cm) Abutting the Liver Hilum
ConclusionThe use of MIS for in 2-stage ALPPS procedure for giant HCCs larger than 10 cm is technically feasible and safe when attempted in high-volume centres by experienced surgeons, while benefiting from the advantages of MIS liver resection. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)
