Prognostic Analysis of Prophylactic Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Advanced Gastric Cancer: a Propensity Score-Matched Analysis
ConclusionOur study showed that prophylactic HIPEC could prevent postoperative PM in patients with AGC and did not increase the incidence of postoperative complications. However, it was not found to be effective in the prevention of other metastases, such as hepatic metastases. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

Surgical Repair of Large Hiatal Hernias: Insight from a High-Volume Center
ConclusionsHHs likely grow with age, reflecting their progressive nature. Laparoscopic L-HH repair was associated with higher morbidity than M-HH repair. Thus, patients with M-HH, even if less symptomatic, should be evaluated by a foregut surgeon. Regardless of HH size, good mid- and long-term quality of life outcomes can be achieved.

Intracorporeal Versus Extracorporeal Colo-colic Anastomosis in Minimally-invasive Left Colectomy: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
ConclusionsIA proves to be a safe and feasible option as it demonstrates benefits in terms of lower overall morbidity, fewer rates of SSI, smaller incision length, and faster postoperative gastrointestinal recovery despite a longer operative time compared to EA.

The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) as an Independent Prognostic Factor for Patients ≥80 Years with Small Bowel Obstruction (SBO)
ConclusionThe increase in CFS is directly associated with an increased risk of mortality and major complications. The presence of severe frailty could effectively predict an increased risk of in-hospital death regardless of the treatment administered. The employment of CFS in elderly patients could help the identification of the need for closer monitoring and proper goals of care. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

Survival Benefit Relative to Treatment Modalities Among Patients with Very Early Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: an Analysis of the National Cancer Database
ConclusionsThe outcomes of very early ICC patients who underwent LT were similar to individuals who underwent hepatectomy, but better than patients treated with non-CIT. LT should be may be a consideration as a treatment option for patients with early stage ICC who are unsuitable candidates for resection. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

Feasibility and Outcomes of Same-Day Surgery in Primary and Reoperative Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Repair
ConclusionLaparoscopic hiatal hernia repair can be performed as same-day surgery in the majority of primary and reoperative procedures with good outcomes and low postoperative emergency department visits and readmissions. The odds of same-day surgery are higher with opioid-free anesthesia, lower ASA, and shorter operative time. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)
