Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program in elderly patients over 75 years of age undergoing elective colorectal cancer surgery
ConclusionThe ERAS program shortened length of hospital stay by 1.6 days, and patients had lower clinical fragility score post-operatively. Adverse events were not increased. ERAS program can be safely applied to elderly patients with colorectal cancer.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Surgical Practice)

Acute appendicitis during the fifth wave of the COVID ‐19 pandemic in a local cluster: A retrospective cohort study
ConclusionThe perspective of the general public towards the COVID-19 pandemic is changing. Increased understanding of the COVID-19 infection and availability of antiviral medications against COVID-19 could be useful to eliminate patient's anxiety when attending medical care in public hospitals.

C ‐reactive protein as an early predictor of anastomotic dehiscence in various types of reconstruction in elective abdominal surgery
ConclusionsMeasurement of p/o CRP values may indicate problematic healing of digestive tract anastomosis before the appearance of clinical signs. High sensitivity and high NPV allow us to rule out p/o complications and anastomotic dehiscence with great certainty and safely discharge these patients from the hospital. (Source: Surgical Practice)

Robotic distal splenopancreatectomy
ConclusionRobotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP) are safe and feasible in appropriately selected patients. While the procedural cost is higher with the robotic approach, some argue that this is balanced by shorter overall length of stay making RDP a costeffective option.This article is protected by copyright.

Gasless laparoscopy versus conventional laparoscopy and laparotomy: A systematic review on the safety and efficiency
ConclusionsAlthough GL seems to be a feasible approach for many general surgery interventions, the observed outcomes based on safety and efficiency are not sufficient to recommend GL as an alternative to CL or laparotomy. Larger randomised trials with a low risk of bias are warranted. (Source: Surgical Practice)
