Comparison of postoperative pain between transoral and conventional thyroidectomy: a propensity score-matched analysis
ConclusionsPostoperative pain was significantly higher in transoral thyroidectomy compared to conventional thyroidectomy up to 6 days post-surgery. Within the transoral group, the robotic procedure resulted in lower pain levels than the endoscopic approach during the early postoperative period.Graphic abstract (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Long-term outcomes of endoscopic or surgical resection in T1 colorectal cancer patients: a retrospective cohort study
ConclusionThe long-term outcomes of ER are comparable to those of surgery in T1 CRC patients with DSI when other high-risk factors are negative. Resection margin, tumor budding, sex, and CCI may be the most important long-term prognostic factors for T1 CRC patients.Graphical abstract (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Closure of gastrointestinal perforations using an endoloop system and a single-channel endoscope: description of a simple, reproducible, and standardized method
ConclusionThe novel techniques, utilizing a single-channel endoscope, clips, and an endoloop, ensuring an edge-to-edge suture of muscular layer, proved to be safe, reproducible, and easy to implement. They exhibit an excellent technical success rate and a minimal incidence of non-severe complications. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Can my surgeon scope? Trends in endoscopy training volume and experience among general surgery residents in the United States: a nationwide analysis
ConclusionThe overall endoscopy volume for general surgery residents has largely remained stable, with a minor increase in esophagogastroduodenoscopy and no change in colonoscopy. Future research should investigate whether simulation-based exercises can bridge the gap between procedural volume and learning curve requirements for endoscopy. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Outcomes of laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy: a comparative analysis of fenestrating and reconstituting approaches in 170 cases
ConclusionAlthough LSC is seen as a safe alternative to open conversion, our findings demonstrate a high morbidity, including reoperation/reintervention, readmissions, and complications, associated with LSC especially with F-LSC. We suggest that if LSC is performed, the reconstituted technique should be chosen, if feasible.Graphical Abstract (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Knowledge mapping of surgical smoke from 2003 to 2022: a bibliometric analysis
ConclusionAccording to bibliometric analysis, the research on surgical smoke has been drawing attention of more scholars in the world. Increasing number of countries or regions added in this field, and among them, USA, Italy, and China has been playing important roles, however, more wide and intense cooperation is still in expectation.

Prospective evaluation of transoral outlet reduction (TORe) after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) failure
ConclusionsAfter RYGBP failure linked to the dilatation of the gastro-jejunal anastomosis, TORe procedure with nutritional management results in significantly higher %EWL at 12 months compared to patients with nutritional management alone. As surgery, this minimally invasive endoscopic procedure can be associated with severe adverse events. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Active gas aspiration in reducing pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionThe study found that active gas aspiration can be effective in reducing postoperative shoulder pain and analgesic requirements after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which has important implications for patient care and healthcare costs. Importantly, this intervention does not impose any additional time or financial burden. However, further research is needed to evaluate its impact on other laparoscopic procedures.

Better stoma care using the Stoma App: does it help? A first randomized double-blind clinical trial on the effect of mobile healthcare on quality of life in stoma patients
ConclusionThe Stoma App improves the quality of life of stoma patients. Peer support and personalized guidance are of significant importance in building self-efficacy. It is to be recommended to implement Stoma app —freely available software qualifying as a medical device—in standard stoma care pathways for the benefits of both patients and healthcare providers.
