Predictive Value of Postoperative C-reactive Protein Ratio for Early Postoperative Complications After Laparoscopic Gastrectomy
CONCLUSIONS: The CRP ratio after LG can effectively predict postoperative complications that need treatment, and when the ratio is more than 2.2, digestive surgeons should pay attention to the possibility of serious complications.PMID:38607201 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)

Laparoscopic versus open parenchymal sparing liver resections for high tumour burden colorectal liver metastases: a propensity score matched analysis
ConclusionLaparoscopic approach should be considered in selected patients scheduled to parenchymal sparing LR for high tumour burden disease as associated to shorter LOS and similar postoperative and long-term outcomes compared to the open approach. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Risk factors for stoma prolapse after laparoscopic loop colostomy
ConclusionsBeing overweight and the route penetrating the thinner rectus abdominis during stoma construction was associated with a significantly higher incidence of SP after laparoscopic loop colostomy. Selecting a construction site that penetrates the thicker rectus abdominis muscle may be crucial for preventing SP.Graphical abstract (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Cumulative Incidence of Venous Thromboembolic Events In-Hospital, and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 Months After Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery: Systematic Review of 87 Studies and Meta-analysis of 2,731,797 Patients
This study is the first to generate detailed estimates of the incidence and patterns of VTE after MBS over time. The incidence of VTE after MBS is low. Improved estimates and time variations of VTE require longer-term designs, non -aggregated reporting of characteristics, and must consider many factors and the use of data registries. Extended surveillance of VTE after MBS is required.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

Time trends and outcomes of gastrostomy placement in a Swedish national cohort over two decades
CONCLUSION: The annual use of gastrostomies in Sweden increased during the study period, with a shift towards more minimally invasive procedures. Although procedure-related death was rare, the overall 30-d mortality rate was high (10%). To overcome this, we believe that patient selection should be improved.PMID:38596497 | PMC:PMC11000080 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i10.1358 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)
