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)

Effects of Anterior Fundoplication on Postoperative Dysphagia and Reflux After Laparoscopic Esophagocardiomyotomy for Pediatric Achalasia
Conclusion: In this largest observation of pediatric achalasia patients, A-fundo appeared clinically insignificant when determining contributors to control GER or exacerbate postoperative dysphagia. A-fundo should not be routinely adopted in children having L-ECM for achalasia without further multicenter analysis but appears beneficial in cases having inadvertent mucosal violation.PMID:38597929 | DOI:10.1089/lap.2023.0415 (Source: Adv Data)

Body mass index influence on short-term perioperative results in robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy: a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis
The objective of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the perioperative outcomes of robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in obese and non-obese patients. Through March 2024, we executed an exhaustive search in internationally acclaimed databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, limiting our scope to publications in English. We discarded review articles, protocols lacking empirical data, conference abstracts, and materials not pertinent to our research. Our analytical framework utilized the Cochran –Mantel–Haenszel method alongside a random-effects model for evaluating dichotomous variables’ ...

Quality of life after robotic versus conventional minimally invasive cancer surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis
AbstractOptimizing postoperative quality of life (QoL) is an essential aspect of surgical oncology. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) decreases surgical morbidity and improves QoL outcomes. This meta-analysis aimed to compare post-operative QoL after oncologic resections using different MIS modalities. The PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and CENTRAL databases were searched for articles that compared post-operative QoL in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) or laparoscopic surgery (LS) versus robotic surgery (RS) for malignancy. Quality assessment was performed using the ROBINS-I and Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB-...

Laparoscopic Radiofrequency Fibroid Ablation: A Review of Current Use and Future Applications
We present the current literature that evaluates Lap-RFA in its current use, as well as present the future of the technology.Recent FindingsThe current literature demonstrates that Lap-RFA succeeds in treating a large amount of FIGO 2 –6 fibroids with clinical improvements in fibroid volume, menstrual blood loss, dysmenorrhea, fibroid-related symptom scores, and overall quality of life. Some data indicates that the technology may be safe for patients who desire future fertility or have adenomyosis, though large trials have yet to be performed.SummaryLap-RFA offers promising long-term data that demonstrate treatment effec...

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1455: Predictive Value of the Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) Score in Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomies: A Systematic Review from the EAU Section of Uro-Technology (ESUT)
Ali Serdar Gözen
The Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) score is a radiographic scoring system that predicts the presence of adherent perinephric fat (APF) during partial nephrectomies (PNs). The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize the current literature on the application of the MAP score for predicting intraoperative difficulties related to APF and complications in laparoscopic PNs. Three databases, PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane, were screened, from inception to 29 October 2023, taking into consideration the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Guidelines. All the inc...
