Prognostic Impact of Lymphovascular Invasion in Stage 1 Colon Cancer: A National Cancer Database Study
Biomarkers and histopathological features, such as lymphovascular invasion(LVI) are used to assess prognosis and guide therapy in high-risk colon cancers. However, few studies to date have investigated the impact of these features in early-stage disease. Our goal was to quantify the impact of LVI on overall survival(OS) in Stage I colon cancer.

Should Emergency Ileostomy Be Performed in the Elderly?
When ileostomy is performed as part of emergency gastrointestinal surgery, patients may experience significant morbidity and mortality. We sought to determine the impact of emergency ileostomy on patient outcomes across various age groups. (Source: Journal of the American College of Surgeons)

Stapled End-to-side Ileocolostomy Provides an Alternative to Conventional Anastomoses and May Outperform Traditional Techniques in Crohn ’s Disease of the Terminal Ileum
There has been much discussion regarding techniques to reduce anastomotic recurrence in Crohn ’s disease (CD) patients. We employ a stapled, end-to-side ileocolostomy(SES) which recapitulates normal anatomy and is technically straightforward to learn. (Source: Journal of the American College of Surgeons)

The Impact of Caprini Risk-adjusted Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis in Colorectal Surgery Patient: Experience of a Single Health System
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the most common cause of preventable mortality following colorectal surgery (CRS), occurring in 2% of patients. The predicted probability of post-discharge VTE is reported to be 0.04%-10.3%. As a result, prophylaxis, including discharge chemoprophylaxis, is recommended. While VTE risk assessment tools are available to facilitate risk-adjusted prophylaxis practices, adoption and utilization remain unclear. Our study objectives were to determine the utilization and impact of risk-adjusted VTE prophylaxis in CRS patients. (Source: Journal of the American College of Surgeons)

Trends and Impact of Antimicrobial Resistance in Surgical Site Infection after Colectomy: A Nationwide Study
Surgical site infections (SSI) represent undesired and potentially fatal complications in the context of colorectal surgery. On the other hand, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is known for increasing the risk of adverse outcomes in several clinical conditions. We aimed to evaluate the association between AMR diagnosis and postoperative outcomes in patients that underwent open colectomy and developed a SSI.

Use of a Novel Balloon Overtube for Tumor Excision and Closure of Intestinal Defect in the Right Colon: Preclinical Trial
ESD, especially in the right colon, is challenging. Devices/techniques for traction could make this procedure easier and safer. In a preclinical model, we evaluated a balloon overtube with two instrument channels, which permit the use of multiple tools, for tumor excision and closure of intestinal defect.

Single Institutional Experience in Minimally Invasive Transperitoneal Adrenalectomy: A Series of 544 Cases Over 10 Years
While minimally invasive adrenalectomy is safely performed for most patients, conversion to open surgery may still be required. Risk factors that predict conversion to  open remain unclear. We aimed to analyze our experience in laparoscopic and robotic-assisted transperitoneal adrenalectomy to evaluate factors associated with conversion to open surgery.
