Selective decontamination of the digestive tract in upper gastrointestinal surgery: systematic review with meta‐analysis of randomized clinical trials

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1015-1021, December 2020., 2020
This meta‐analysis investigated the influence of selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD) on outcomes after upper gastrointestinal surgery. SDD led to a reduction in anastomotic leakage (odds ratio (OR) 0·39, 95 per cent c.i. 0·19 to 0·80; P = 0·010) and pneumonia (OR 0·42, 0·23 to 0·78; P = 0·006).

Obese patients and robotic colorectal surgery: systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1042-1053, December 2020., 2020
Obesity is a major health problem that doubles the chance of colorectal cancer. The benefits of robotic surgery for colorectal operations in obese patients versus non‐obese patients are unknown. This meta‐analysis and systematic review highlights that robotic surgery in obese patients is similar and feasible compared with that in non‐obese patients ...

Effect of mental rehearsal on team performance and non‐technical skills in surgical teams: systematic review

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1062-1071, December 2020., 2020
This indepth critical analysis of team‐based mental rehearsal activities and their effect on surgical team non‐technical skills and team performance found that mental rehearsal may provide a free and easy‐to‐use tool to augment surgical team performance and improve teamwork.

Shortening surgical training through robotics: randomized clinical trial of laparoscopic versus robotic surgical learning curves

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1100-1108, December 2020., 2020
Medical students and surgical trainees were randomized to robotic or laparoscopic simulator training followed by cadaveric surgical tasks. The robotic groups had a shorter learning curve with better task performance. Another advantage for robotic surgery Background Minimally invasive surgery is the standard technique for many operations.

Decrease in primary but not in secondary abdominal surgery for Crohn's disease: nationwide cohort study, 1990–2014

open access: yesBJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 11, Page 1529-1538, October 2020., 2020
In a Swedish population‐based database, the cumulative incidence of a first abdominal surgical procedure after a diagnosis of Crohn's disease has decreased by two‐thirds over the past 25 years. The risk of repeat abdominal surgery has not decreased since the introduction of biologicals. Ileocaecal resection remained the most common procedure during the

Meta‐analysis of the impact of postoperative infective complications on oncological outcomes in colorectal cancer surgery

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 737-747, October 2020., 2020
Postoperative infective complications have significant negative effects on oncological outcomes in colorectal cancer. Anastomotic leakage has a negative effect on every measured outcome. New registries should include oncological outcomes and complications to facilitate future research and optimize outcomes.

Outcomes of obstructed abdominal wall hernia: results from the UK national small bowel obstruction audit

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 924-934, October 2020., 2020
This study shows that small bowel obstruction due to abdominal wall hernia is common, typically involves a co‐morbid group of patients and has poor outcomes, including high mortality rates. High mortality from this problem Background Abdominal wall hernia is a common surgical condition.

Total colonic aganglionosis: multicentre study of surgical treatment and patient‐reported outcomes up to adulthood

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 943-953, October 2020., 2020
In a multicentre study, outcome of surgery for total colonic aganglionosis was evaluated in 116 patients. In long‐term follow‐up, patients with a J pouch reconstruction reported better faecal continence and those with a Duhamel reconstruction reported fewer episodes of enterocolitis. Nutritional support was needed extensively in all groups with various

Optimal timing for surgical reconstruction of bile duct injury: meta‐analysis

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 776-786, October 2020., 2020
This meta‐analysis addressed the timing of surgical reconstruction with hepaticojejunostomy for bile duct injury. Reconstruction between 2 and 6 weeks after injury was associated with an increased risk of postoperative morbidity as well as anastomotic stricture formation.

Minimally invasive techniques for transthoracic oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer: systematic review and network meta‐analysis

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 787-803, October 2020., 2020
Minimally invasive and robotic techniques for oesophagectomy are associated with reduced perioperative morbidity and length of hospital stay, with no compromise of oncological outcomes but no improvement in perioperative mortality. There are suggestions of improved long‐term survival with minimally invasive oesophagectomy and robotic minimally invasive
