Robotic-assisted lobectomy for malignant lung tumors
Conclusions: Robotic video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is a safe, feasible and oncologically adequate procedure for lung malignancies. Comparison of our outcomes to previously reported national averages suggests a similar hospital LOS, lymph node harvest, conversion rate to open thoracotomy and 30-day mortality rate. We acknowledge the limitations of this non-randomised, retrospective study. Future research on robotic lobectomies is encouraged. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Side-to-side versus end-to-side ileocolic anastomosis in right-sided colectomies: A cohort control study
Conclusions: This is the first systematic review to show that the E-S technique produces superior post-operative outcomes after right colectomy compared to S-S. However, the choice of anastomosis was largely surgeon dependent, but surgeon factors were not reported. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Thoracoscopic enucleation of oesophageal submucosal tumours in prone position gives excellent long-term outcome: A single-centre experience
Conclusion: Oesophageal submucosal tumours (predominantly leiomyomas) are benign neoplasms with an indolent biological behaviour and deserve a procedure that would serve the purpose of minimal post-operative morbidity coupled with excellent outcome. Thoracoscopic enucleation in the prone position provides a physiological benefit that translates into better peri-operative outcomes without compromising the long-term outcome and should be the preferred form of treatment for oesophageal submucosal tumours.

Bariatric metabolic surgery: An effective treatment of type 2 diabetes
Conclusion: This study collaborates reports that there is significant remission of T2DM after bariatric metabolic surgery in patients with obesity and T2DM. There is a need for prospective, multi-centre, and long-term studies on bariatric metabolic surgery to treat patients with obesity and T2DM. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Risk factors and consequences of conversion in minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy
Conclusions: Large lesion size and pancreatic cancer were reported to be independent risk factors for conversion during MIDP. As for post-operative outcomes, the outcomes of successfully MIDP were better than those for conversion. However, conversion did not lead to worsening outcomes when compared with ODP.

The therapeutic effect of balloon dilatation with different duration for biliary duct calculi: A network meta-analysis
Conclusion: EPBD and EST are two methods used to treat uncomplicated choledocholithiasis (stone diameter <10 mm and stone number <3). The extension of balloon dilatation duration has no significant influence on successful stone removal in the first endoscopic session or preventing the need for mechanical lithotripsy. However, it can reduce the risk of early complications, especially PEP. What's more, EPBD seems to have less late complications compared with EST, and the effect of prolonged balloon dilatation duration on late complications still needs to be further explored. Therefore, 2�...
