Textbook outcome (TO) is a composite measure that captures the most desirable surgical outcomes as a single indicator, yet to date TO has not been defined and assessed in the […]
» Read moreTransthoracic minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) is increasingly performed as part of curative multimodality treatment. There appears to be no robust evidence on the preferred location of the anastomosis after transthoracic […]

» Read moreWe aim to describe the long-term follow up data from our institution’s POEM experience.Per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a well-established endoscopic therapy for achalasia with excellent short-term efficacy, but long-term […]
» Read moreWe describe utilization trends and center volume-outcomes relationship of endoscopic resection of early stage esophageal cancer using a large hospital-based registry.Endoscopic resection is increasingly accepted as the preferred treatment for […]
» Read moreGastric lipomas are rare benign neoplasms of the stomach. These submucosal lesions and located mostly in the antral region of the stomach. Small lipomas are usually asymptomatic and are detected […]
» Read moreMost current models for predicting survival after resection of colorectal liver metastasis include largest diameter and number of colorectal liver metastases as dichotomous variables, resulting in underestimation of the extent […]
» Read moreWe aimed to develop prediction models for estimating the long-term survival in patients who have undergone surgery for esophageal cancer.Few prediction models have been developed for the long-term survival in […]
» Read moreThe relevance of laparoscopic resection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains debated. The aim of this study was to compare laparoscopic (LLR) and open (OLR) liver resection for ICC, with specific […]
» Read morePortal vein embolization (PVE) has been implemented in patients with extensive colorectal liver metastases to increase the number of patients able to undergo liver resection. Liver transplant could be an […]
» Read moreMinimally invasive hepatectomy (MIH) has become an important option for the treatment of various liver tumours. A major concern is the learning curve required. The aim of this study was […]
» Read moreMetastasectomy is probably underused in metastatic colorectal cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of centralized repeated assessment on resectability rate of liver metastases.The prospective RAXO […]
» Read moreSafety and efficacy of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) vs neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) for treatment of locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain uncertain given lack of high-level clinical evidence.To compare […]
» Read moreThe aim was to examine the hypothesis that antireflux surgery with fundoplication improves long-term survival compared with antireflux medication in patients with reflux oesophagitis or Barrett’s oesophagus.Individuals aged between 18 […]
» Read moreLaparoscopic liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Child-Pugh A cirrhosis has been demonstrated as beneficial. However, the role of laparoscopy in Child-Pugh B cirrhosis is undetermined. The aim of […]
» Read moreFungal infections are generally observed in immunosuppressed patients only, with a diagnostic challenge due to non-specific symptoms. For this reason, appropriate management may be delayed. This case report concerns a […]
» Read moreThe extent of liver resection for tumours is limited by the expected functional reserve of the future liver remnant (FRL), so hypertrophy may be induced by portal vein embolization (PVE), […]
» Read moreHepatocellular carcinoma is one of the commonest cancer in the world. Despite curative resection, recurrence remains the largest challenge. Many risk factors were identified for predicting recurrence, including liver fibrosis […]
» Read moreWe sought to construct a valid and reliable patient-reported outcome measure for patients with advanced malignancy and GIO.Bowel obstruction is the most common indication for palliative surgical consultation in patients […]
» Read moreTo determine whether esophagectomy provides a survival advantage in octogenarians with resectable thoracic esophageal cancer.Elderly patients with thoracic esophageal cancer do not always receive the full standard treatment; however, advanced […]
» Read moreThe aim of this study was to provide a full HRM data set in patients with a normal functioning fundoplication.The Chicago classification was devised to correlate High Resolution Manometry (HRM) […]
» Read moreTo assess metabolic dysfunctions and steatohepatosis after standard and local pancreatic resections for benign and premalignant neoplasms.Duodenopancreatectomy, hemipancreatectomy, and parenchyma-sparing, limited pancreatic resections are currently in use for nonmalignant tumors.Medline, […]
» Read moreThis study aimed to characterize rates and management of anastomotic leak (AL) and conduit necrosis (CN) after esophagectomy in an international cohort.Outcomes in patients with anastomotic complications of esophagectomy are […]
