Prognosis and safety of laparoscopic hepatectomy for BCLC stage 0/A hepatocellular carcinoma with clinically significant portal hypertension: a multicenter, propensity score-matched study
ConclusionsCSPH has a negative impact on the prognosis of BCLC stage 0/A HCC patients after laparoscopic hepatectomy. Laparoscopic hepatectomy is still recommended for treatment, but careful patient selection is essential. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

ReSleeve or revisional one anastomosis gastric bypass for failed primary sleeve gastrectomy with dilated gastric tube: a retrospective study
ConclusionBoth procedures (RLOAGB and ReLSG) were relatively safe and effective in terms of WL. RLOAGB led to higher WL compared to ReLSG in all types of patients despite higher Caloric intake. IWL patients had more WL compared to WR patients. WL was not related to GT dilation type. Large-scale longer-FU studies are still needed.Trial registrationPACTR202310644487566 (retrospectively registered). (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

High-resolution 3-dimensional tomography may be a useful tool for understanding the anatomy of hiatal hernias and surgical planning of patients eligible for laparoscopic or robotic antireflux surgery
ConclusionsThe anatomy of HH and the hiatus can be well defined by 3D CT. The EGJ-hiatus distance may be equally measured by 3D CT or upper digestive endoscopy. DeMeester score did not correlate with any anatomical parameter. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Long-term quality of life is better after laparoscopic compared to open pancreatoduodenectomy
ConclusionThis monocentric study found improved long-term QoL in patients undergoing LPD, as compared to OPD, for benign and premalignant diseases. These results could be considered when choosing the surgical approach in these patients. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Laparoscopic and open minor liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma with clinically significant portal hypertension: a multicenter study using inverse probability weighting approach
ConclusionsLLR for HCC patients with CSPH is clinically advantageous by lowering the volume of intraoperative blood loss and incidence of postoperative complications, thereby offering feasible long-term survival.Graphical abstract (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Combined pre-operative risk score predicts pancreatic leak after pancreatic resection
ConclusionMPD and BMI were independent risk factors predictive for the development of pancreatic leak. CPLPS, was an independent predictor of pancreatic leak following pancreatectomy and could be used to help guide surgical decision making and patient counseling. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Variability in surgical approaches to hernias in patients with ascites
ConclusionA population-level, ventral and incisional hernia database capturing operative details for 176 patients with ascites. There was variation in the surgical approaches performed for this rare event and opportunities for optimization in patient selection and timing of repair. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Gastric development of pancreatic acinar cell metaplasia after Vonoprazan therapy in rats
ConclusionPACM has been reported in gastric mucosa, at the esophagogastric junction, at the distal esophagus, and in Barrett esophagus. However, the pathogenesis of this entity is still unclear. Whereas some authors have suggested that PACM is an acquired process others have raised the possibility of PACM being congenital in nature. Our results suggest that the duration of vonoprazan administration at a dose of 4 mg/kg plays an important role in the development of PACM. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

The impact of hospital experience in bariatric surgery on short-term outcomes after minimally invasive esophagectomy: a nationwide analysis
ConclusionIn this nationwide analysis, there was an association between bariatric hospitals and improved short-term outcomes after MIE. Characteristics of bariatric hospitals that could explain this phenomenon and whether this translates to other upper GI procedures may be warranted to identify. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Assessment of laparoscopic fundoplication with endoscopy: room for improvement
ConclusionOur study confirms low inter-rater reliability between endoscopists and large variations in reporting. UGI surgeons performed better than gastroenterologists in certain cases, usually when describing the integrity of the fundoplication. Our study provides further support for the use of a standardized reporting system in post-fundoplication patients. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Effect of da Vinci robot versus thoracoscopic surgery on lung function and oxidative stress levels in NSCLC patients: a propensity score-matched study
ConclusionCompared to VATS lobectomy, RATS lobectomy has the advantages of shorter operative time, lesser bleeding, more lymph node dissection, faster postoperative recovery, and lesser impact on postoperative lung function. It is also capable of reducing the postoperative oxidative stress and inflammatory response, which can improve patients ’ quality of life. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Robotic versus laparoscopic liver resection for liver malignancy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of propensity score-matched studies
ConclusionSurgical and oncological outcomes are comparable between RLR and LLR on patients with liver malignancies. Therefore, the benefits of applying RLR in patients with liver malignancies need to be further explored. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)
