Objective:
We sought to compare the effect of applying a 5-mm endoscope and a 10-mm endoscope in the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) and to clarify the advantages of using a 5-mm endoscope.
Materials and Methods:
A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 135 patients who were diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma and who had undergone TOETVA in the thyroid disease center of The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between January 2019 and May 2020 was performed. Among the included patients, a 10-mm endoscope was used in 50 cases (the 10-mm endoscope group) ...

Prognostic Role of Albumin-Bilirubin Grade in Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Ultrasound-guided Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation: A Single-center Experience Over a Decade
Background:
The albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade has been proposed to evaluate liver function and predict prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Data are scarce in terms of the clinical application of ALBI score in patients with HCC undergoing radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The current study sought to assess the prognostic efficacy of ALBI grade in early-stage HCC after RFA.
Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed 344 treatment-naive patients, whereby the overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), local tumor progression, and intrahepatic distant recurrence were assessed using Kaplan-M...

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Versus Percutaneous Cholecystostomy: Suitability of APACHE-II Score, ASA Grade, and Tokyo Guidelines 18 Grade as Predictors of Outcome in Patients With Acute Cholecystitis
This study investigated the suitability of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE-II) score, American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) grade, and Tokyo Guidelines 2018 (TG18) grade as predictors of outcome and assess laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) as treatment options in patients with AC.
Materials and Methods:
Retrospective data was collected from patients that underwent acute inpatient cholecystectomy (index admission), urgent interval cholecystectomy (2 to 4 wk) and PC between 2016 and 2018. Data included baseline demographics, co-morbidities, ASA grade...

Endoscopic Ultrasound–guided Drainage of Patients With Infected Walled-off Necrosis: Which Stent to Choose?
Background:
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage is the preferred treatment of pancreatic fluid collections (PFC). However, the choice of the stent for EUS-guided drainage in critically ill PFC cases with infected walled-off necrosis (WON) and/or organ failure (OF) remains unknown.
Materials and Methods:
Between January 2018 and December 2019, consecutive patients with symptomatic PFC subjected to EUS-guided drainage using biflanged metal stents (BFMS) or double-pigtail plastic stents (DPPS) were compared for technical success, clinical success, duration of the procedure, need for intensive care unit stay...

Zig Maneuver in Total Extraperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair
This study investigates the effectiveness of the Zig maneuver (ligation of the hernia sac at the deep inguinal ring) in TEP in male patients with L3 inguinal hernia by European Hernia Society classification.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 224 male patients with L3 inguinal hernia who underwent laparoscopic TEP surgery in 2018 and 2019 were retrospectively screened and included in the study. The patients were divided into 2 groups as Zig group (n=99) and the non-Zig group (n=125), depending on whether the Zig maneuver was performed during TEP application.
Results:
The mean patient age was 45.49 for the non-...

Combined Partial Toupet Fundoplication With Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy for Patients With Morbid Obesity and Symptomatic GERD: Preliminary Results of the T-sleeve Technique
Conclusions:
The present study showed that T-sleeve provides a very good weight loss and reflux control in patients with symptomatic GERD with morbid obesity in the short-term period. This technique can be proposed in some cases as a primary treatment modality. High numbers of patients and longer follow-up are needed.

Overall Complications Following Robotic Heller Myotomy Are Lower Compared With Laparoscopy
Background:
The use of robotics in foregut surgery has become more prevalent in the United States over the last 10 years. We sought to find the differences in the clinical outcomes of robotic surgery compared with traditional laparoscopy in patients undergoing Heller myotomy.
Materials and Methods:
A retrospective population-based analysis was performed using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database for the span of 2010 to 2015. All patients who underwent laparoscopic or robotic Heller myotomy were included. Weighted multivariable random intercept linear and logistic regression models were used to assess the...

Robotic Distal Gastrectomy Reduces Drain Amylase Values in Patients With a Small Pancreas-left Gastric Artery Angle
This study evaluated the incidence of pancreatic fistula with robotic distal gastrectomy (RDG) in comparison to LDG from the view of the PLA.
Materials and Methods:
An association between the PLA and the incidence of pancreatic fistula in 165 patients who underwent either RDG (n=45) or LDG (n=120) was investigated retrospectively.
Results:
RDG patients had significantly lower drain amylase values (postoperative day 2) than LDG patients. As opposed to LDG patients, drain amylase values were similar for patients with small (PLA (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Perioperative Outcomes of Laparoscopic Liver Resection and Risk Factors for Adverse Events
Purpose:
The perioperative outcomes and risk factors associated with adverse events (AEs) after initial laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) are unclear. We studied the outcomes of LLR and identified the predictive factors for AEs.
Materials and Methods:
Data from 100 adults who underwent LLR between April 2014 and February 2020 were reviewed. Baseline characteristics, surgery details, intraoperative data, and postoperative outcomes were tabulated. The AEs included conversion to open surgery, morbidity, and mortality.
Results:
Major and minor LLRs accounted for 16% and 84% of cases, respectively. Of the ind...

Symptomatic and Physiological Outcomes Following Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy for Achalasia Cardia: Is There a Correlation?
In this study, we evaluated the role of physiological testing in achalasia patients undergoing LHCM and its correlation with symptomatic evaluation.
Materials and Methods:
Case records of patients undergoing LHCM for achalasia between January 2017 and March 2020 were reviewed for symptom scores (Eckardt score and achalasia-specific health-related quality-of-life) and physiological parameters [5-min column height on TBE and median integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) on high-resolution manometry]. Sixty-one patients with complete data in the preoperative period and on follow-up were included in the study. The data wa...
