Leaving behind a diseased small bowel during surgery for Crohn ’s disease: Long-term outcomes
ConclusionsOur retrospective study showed that even if the diseased bowel was left behind after surgery, the intestinal inflammatory activity still decreased. However, the permanence of the diseased bowel still increased the risk of reoperation, probably because of the fibrotic nature of the stenosis and the multifocality of CD. (Source: Surgery Today)

How to do it: rescue duct-to-duct biliary reconstruction techniques to avoid severe biliary complications of hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma
AbstractThere are few reports on duct-to-duct biliary reconstruction for complex liver resection with limited bile duct resection. We performed duct-to-duct biliary reconstruction in two patients undergoing limited bile duct resection where Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) was difficult. An external biliary drainage tube was placed routinely at the anastomotic site to prevent stenosis. In case 1, the tumor-infiltrated part of the left hepatic duct (LHD) was resected and the LHD was repaired using duct-to-duct reconstruction with interrupted sutures. In case 2, after the tumor-infiltrated part of the LHD and posterior hep...

Twenty-year outcomes of free and I-composite radial artery grafts for coronary artery revascularization
ConclusionsThe 20-year patency of the I-composite ITA-RA graft was better than that of the free RA graft; therefore, the I-composite graft may be an effective conduit for CABG. (Source: Surgery Today)

Prognostic factors for lung transplant recipients focusing on age and gender: the Japanese lung transplantation report 2022
ConclusionThe donor and recipient characteristics significantly impacted the survival of recipients after lung transplantation. The underlying mechanism of the negative impact of the gender mismatch of female donor to male recipient on post-transplant survival needs to be investigated further. (Source: Surgery Today)

Postoperative perineal hernia repair: what is the evidence?
Abstract
The present study determined the characteristics of perineal hernia treatment in the literature, and the incidence of postoperative recurrence was stratified according to repair techniques. A systematic search of the available literature on the treatment of postoperative perineal hernias was performed using a major database. The types of repair techniques and outcome were entered into an electronic database and a pooled analysis was performed. A total of 213 cases of postoperative perineal hernia repair were collected from 20 relevant articles in the literature after excluding case reports (n < 3). Synt...

A novel combined carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio score can predict early recurrence of resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
ConclusionsThe CA19-9-LMR scoring model can predict ER after surgery and is applicable for risk stratification in the assessment of patients with resectable PDAC. (Source: Surgery Today)

Relationship between postoperative atrial fibrillation and its recurrence after lung resection
ConclusionPOAF was an independent predictor for AF in the chronic phase after lung resection. Further investigations including cases of catheter ablation and optimal medical therapy for patients with POAF after lung resection are needed. (Source: Surgery Today)

“Role-sharing surgery”: a new surgical education system that gives beginner surgeons more chances to operate while ensuring the surgical quality of robotic surgery
AbstractIt has been pointed out that robotic surgery is more time-consuming than laparoscopic surgery, and a major challenge for the future is educating young surgeons while maintaining the surgical quality. To solve these problems, we report a role-sharing surgery (RSS) approach in which the surgery is divided into several areas and timetabled, with roles shared by several operators. We performed RSS for 19 standard colorectal cancer surgeries. The surgery was completed within + 28 min of the scheduled operation time, and a beginner robotic surgeon (BRS) was able to perform approximately 66% of the total surgery. Th...
