To identify the preoperative risk factors for prediction of non-transplantable recurrence (NTR) after tumor resection for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to assist in patient selection null relative to upfront null liver resection (LR) versus liver transplantation (LT). Patients who underwent curative resection for transplantable HCC and chronic liver disease were identified from an international multi-institutional database. NTR was defined as recurrence beyond the Milan or UCSF crit...
Index cholecystectomy is the standard of care for gallstone pancreatitis. Hospital-level operative resources and implementation of an acute care surgery (ACS) model may impact the ability to perform index cholecystectomy. We aimed to determine the influence of structure and process measures related to operating room access on achieving index cholecystectomy for gallstone pancreatitis. In 2015, we surveyed 2811 US hospitals on ACS practices, including infrastructure for operative access. A total ...

The use of minimally invasive approaches for pancreatoduodenectomy has increased in recent years, but the risk of postoperative VTE is undefined. We aimed to compare venous thromboembolism (VTE) rates after open and minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy using an administrative dataset. Patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy within the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program targeted pancreatectomy database (2016–2018) were identified. VTE was compared between patients who underwen...
Whether surgical device usage in laparoscopic gastrectomy differs with respect to operator’s skill levels is unknown. Further, device usage analysis using artificial intelligence has not been reported to date. Herein, we compared the patterns of surgical device usage during laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer among surgeons at different skill levels. The data of device usage was acquired from laparoscopic video recordings using an automated surgical-instrument detection system. In total,...

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways have an uncertain role in emergencies. To the best of our knowledge, there are no trials studying ERAS in perforation peritonitis across the GI tract, despite it being a common surgical emergency. To evaluate the safety, feasibility and efficacy of adapted ERAS protocols in emergency laparotomy for perforation peritonitis. This was an open-labeled, superiority randomized controlled trial conducted between October 2018 and June 2020 in patients with...

The generalizability of outcomes from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in oncology is a frequent concern. Given the prevalence and multidisciplinary management of rectal cancer, understanding the generalizability of rectal cancer RCTs is critical to surgical oncologists. An exhaustive literature review identified 100 non-metastatic rectal cancer RCTs published in English over the past 10 years investigating surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. In order to evaluate the representativeness of...
