Advantages of subtotal gastrectomy for upper third gastric cancer: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
We revealed that subtotal gastrectomy (STG) has its advantage over total gastrectomy on shorter operation time, less complication rates, and lower body weight loss by meta‐analysis. Although there are some controversies, STG can be an ideal option for patients with gastric cancer of upper third stomach.

Computational simulations demonstrate altered wall shear stress in aortic coarctation patients previously treated by resection with end-to-end anastomosis [PDF]

, 2011
Background.  Atherosclerotic plaque in the descending thoracic aorta (dAo) is related to altered wall shear stress (WSS) for normal patients. Resection with end-to-end anastomosis (RWEA) is the gold standard for coarctation of the aorta (CoA) repair, but

Colonic J-pouch versus side-to-end anastomosis for rectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

BMC Surgery, 2021
Background This study aims to compare colonic J-pouch and side-to-end anastomosis for rectal cancer in terms of surgical and bowel functional outcomes and quality of life (QoL).

Real-time Informative Surgical Skill Assessment with Gaussian Process Learning [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Endoscopic Sinus and Skull Base Surgeries (ESSBSs) is a challenging and potentially dangerous surgical procedure, and objective skill assessment is the key components to improve the effectiveness of surgical training, to re-validate surgeons' skills, and to decrease surgical trauma and the complication rate in operating rooms. Because of the complexity

Constructing solutions for a kinetic model of angiogenesis in annular domains [PDF]

Applied Mathematical Modelling 45, 303-322, 2017, 2016
We prove existence and stability of solutions for a model of angiogenesis set in an annular region. Branching, anastomosis and extension of blood vessel tips are described by an integrodifferential kinetic equation of Fokker-Planck type supplemented with nonlocal boundary conditions and coupled to a diffusion problem with Neumann boundary conditions ...

Prognostic factors for patients with esophageal cancer who achieve pathological complete response in the primary tumor after upfront chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Male gender and pathological lymph node metastasis are independent poor prognostic factors in patients with esophageal cancer who receive upfront treatment followed by surgery and achieved pathological complete response of the primary tumor. Among patients without pathological lymph node metastasis, the upfront chemotherapy group showed significantly ...

Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography and biliary drainage after liver transplantation: A five-year experience [PDF]

, 1987
Evaluation of the biliary tract by percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) is often required in liver transplant patients with an abnormal postoperative course.

Modelling pulsatile blood flow through surgically coupled microvascular anastomoses [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
The significant rates of post-operative arterial thrombus formation following the sutured anastomosis (surgical connection) of vessels in microvascular reconstruction has kindled the development of engineered solutions such as the UNILINK coupler. These devices reduce thrombosis rates, which recent numerical studies suggest to be due to decreases in ...

Intraoperative perfusion assessment by continuous, low-latency hyperspectral light-field imaging: development, methodology, and clinical application [PDF]

Proc. SPIE 13306, Advanced Biomedical and Clinical Diagnostic and Surgical Guidance Systems XXIII, 1330606 (20 March 2025)
Accurate assessment of tissue perfusion is crucial in visceral surgery, especially during anastomosis. Currently, subjective visual judgment is commonly employed in clinical settings. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) offers a non-invasive, quantitative alternative. However, HSI imaging lacks continuous integration into the clinical workflow.

Surgical Temporal Action-aware Network with Sequence Regularization for Phase Recognition [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
To assist surgeons in the operating theatre, surgical phase recognition is critical for developing computer-assisted surgical systems, which requires comprehensive understanding of surgical videos. Although existing studies made great progress, there are still two significant limitations worthy of improvement.
