Utilization of the Falciform Ligament to Buttress the Pancreatic Transection Staple Line: A Novel Technique
Conclusions: The use of the falciform ligament to buttress the staple line at the time of pancreatic transection is a novel technique. Its potential benefit in reducing the risk of POPF warrants further assessment. (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Five-Year Weight Loss Outcomes in Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (LVSG) Versus Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) Procedures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Background: Laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy (LVSG) has overtaken the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) as the most frequently performed bariatric surgical procedure. To date little has been reported on the long-term outcomes of the LVSG procedure comparative to the traditionally favoured LRYGB. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis to review the 5-year outcomes of comparing LVSG and LRYGB. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare 5-year weight loss outcomes of randomized controlled trials comparing LVSG to LRYGB. Materials and Methods: Searches of electronic...

Pharmacological Methods of Postoperative Pain Management After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Review of Meta-analyses
Conclusions: Very low to low–quality evidence indicated that pharmacological agents, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, lidocaine, parecoxib, nefopam, dexamethasone, and magnesium sulfate, could decrease pain intensity in patients undergoing LC. Moreover, moderate to high–quality evidence showed that intravenous infusion of ketamine and opioids, as well as pregabalin, was effective in pain control. Further, robust clinical trials are needed with several arms (eg, pharmacological agents) to compare the efficacy and safety of analgesics under similar clinical conditions and to find optimal regimens for pai...

Early Surgical and Long-term Oncological Outcomes of Totally Laparoscopic Near-total Gastrectomy in >150 Cases
Conclusions: Our study shows that totally laparoscopic near-total gastrectomy is a safe and feasible procedure for treating the upper-third early gastric cancer. Further, in the current study, the procedure demonstrated a favorable oncological outcome for a relatively long follow-up period and large sample size.

Does the Surgeon’s Caseload Affect the Outcome in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Acute Cholecystitis?
This study investigated how annual caseloads and the surgeon’s previous experience influence the outcome in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCC) for acute cholecystitis. Methods: A total of 892 patients treated in Helsinki University Hospital in 2013-2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Surgeons were compared regarding volume—over 5 LCCs for acute cholecystitis a year versus 5 or fewer LCCs a year, and experience—attendings versus residents. Results: High-volume surgeons (n=14) operated faster than low-volume surgeons (n=62) (91 vs. 108 min, P (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Laparoscopic Liver Resections for Tumors in the Posterosuperior Segments: A Single-center Experience of 174 Consecutive Cases
Conclusion: Laparoscopic resections in the posterosuperior segments can be performed safely in experienced hands with good short and long term (oncologial) outcomes. (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Impact of Prolonged Neoadjuvant Treatment–surgery Interval on Histopathologic and Operative Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Total Mesorectal Excision for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer
Conclusions: PNSI can be considered in patients undergoing short-course NT due to its potential oncological benefits. The mode of surgery performed at tertiary centers has no impact on postoperative morbidity after both NT modalities. (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Prospective Evaluation of Outpatient Flexible Sigmoidoscopy in Patients With Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis
Conclusions: Outpatient FS during the preoperative consultation with the colorectal surgeon is feasible in patients with DE affecting the bowel with a high rate of patients’ acceptability but limited additional diagnostic value. (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Long-term Outcomes Following Primary Closure of Common Bile Duct Following Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct (CBD) Exploration: Experience of 355 Cases at a Tertiary Care Center
Conclusions: Primary closure of CBD after LCBDE is safe and associated with minimal complications and no long-term problems. The routine use of primary CBD closure after LCBDE is recommended based on our experience. (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Efficacy of Intragastric Balloon Placement and Botulinum Toxin Injection in Bariatric Endoscopy
Background: To evaluate the results obtained from the combination of intragastric botulinum toxin A (IGBTA), intragastric balloon (IGB), and IGBTA(+)IGB in the treatment of obesity. Materials and Methods: Three separate treatment groups were set up. IGBTA, IGB, and IGBTA(+)IGB were administered to Group 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The body mass indexes (BMI) of patients were measured before and 6 months after the treatment. The intragroup and intergroup treatment results have been evaluated.

Which Cholecystectomy Technique Would Surgeons Prefer on Themselves?
Conclusions: When an international sample of 600 attending and trainee surgeons were asked about undergoing a cholecystectomy on themselves, most chose either conventional laparoscopy or mini-laparoscopy as their preferred access technique. Single-incision and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery approaches were unpopular. Surgeons ranked the experience of the operating surgeon and safety of the procedure as the most important factors guiding their decision.

Relation of Gastric Volume With Weight Loss After Sleeve Gastrectomy: Results of a Prospective Analysis
Background: Postoperative sleeve volume (SV) is a key factor in evaluating the results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). An objective measurement of SV was obtained with 3-dimensional computed tomographic (3DCT) reconstruction. Several studies have compared SV with percent excess weight loss (%EWL), identifying an inverse relationship. We hypothesized that gastric capacity is one of the factors responsible for weight loss after LSG. Objectives: Outcomes of the study were the analysis of the inverse correlation between SV and weight loss (%EWL and body mass index) at the 12-month follow-up, and evaluation...

Anatomic Indications for Using Actuator-driven Pulsed Water Jet for Hepatectomy
Conclusions: Using ADPJ, we could perform R0 hepatectomy in all cases, which preoperatively were considered to have a high chance of being margin positive. We consider the best indication for using ADPJ is when the tumor and vessels to be preserved are attached or very close over a long distance.
