Feasibility, safety and oncological outcomes of minimally invasive oesophagectomy following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma & #8211; Experience from a tertiary care centre
Conclusion: Minimally invasive McKeown's oesophagectomy is feasible and safe in patients with OSCC receiving nCRT. The radiation component of nCRT increases the degree of operative difficulty, especially in relation to the supracarinal dissection and lymphadenectomy. However, this drawback did not adversely affect the short-term surgical or the long-term oncological outcomes. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictive measures on acute appendicitis: Do not let your guard down
Conclusion: COVID-19 pandemic and restrictive social measures led to fewer consultations for abdominal pain, resulting in a lower number of AA diagnosed. In addition, a longer delay in seeking medical care was observed, leading to more advanced disease, longer operative time and length of hospital stay. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Considerations in laparoscopic resection of giant pancreatic cystic neoplasms
Conclusion: Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy is feasible in patients with GPCN and offers the all the short-term benefits, namely lesser pain, no wound infections, early return of bowel activity, early return to orals and early discharge and early return to work. Splenectomy was required in all patients because of splenic vein thrombosis and portal hypertension in three and for technical reasons in the rest. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Does the morphology of the umbilicus influence the incidence of surgical site infections in transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic appendectomy ?
Conclusions: This was the first study investigating the correlation between the morphology of the umbilicus and SSI development in TULA. SSIs tended to occur more commonly in a narrow and deep umbilicus. An extension of the umbilical incision may help prevent SSI in patients with this umbilical morphology.
