Endoscopic vacuum therapy for postoperative esophageal leak

BMC Surgery, 2019
Background Anastomotic leak is the most common and serious complication following esophagectomy. Endoscopic vacuum-assisted closure (EVAC) is a promising method for treating anastomotic leak.

Impact of the Kocher maneuver on anastomotic leak after esophagogastrostomy in combined thoracoscopic-laparoscopic esophagectomy

Fujita Medical Journal, 2019
Objectives: Anastomotic leak is a common complication after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. This study evaluated the impact of the Kocher maneuver on the incidence of anastomotic leak following esophagogastrostomy using a 3-cm-wide gastric conduit ...

The Role of Prophylactic Diverting Loop Ileostomy in Preventing Leaks in High Risk Intraperitoneal Colonic Anastomosis: A Literature Review [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018
Introduction: The anastomotic leak occurs in approximately 3-15% of patients who undergo colon and rectal surgery and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Prophylactic Diverting Loop Ileostomy (DLI) is done at times to prevent the anastomotic

Differences in gut microbiota among patients with anastomotic leak following colorectal cancer surgery

Frontiers in Microbiology
BackgroundAnastomotic leak (AL) continues to be one of the most severe complications following colorectal surgery, with its incidence showing little change over time. The causes of anastomotic leak are varied, and the precise underlying mechanisms remain

Expanding Genetic Code to Generate Human Brain Organoids with Both Vasculature and Microglia‐Like Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using genetic code expansion, we engineered vascularized human cerebral organoids (vhCOs) with microglia‐like cells and blood‐brain barrier features. vhCOs recapitulate neurovascular interactions, regional identities, and neuronal subtypes resembling the fetal brain.

Bio‐Memristor Based on Clinical Bile Samples: A Proof‐of‐Concept Pilot Study for Detection of Gallbladder Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, we present a bile‐based memristor hardware framework that enables direct, label‐free identification of cholelithiasis and gallbladder cancer at the device level. The Ag/bile/FTO memristor features stable resistive switching and disease‐specific electrical responses, providing a conceptual foundation for circuits and an integrated ERCP ...

Health‐related quality of life following total minimally invasive, hybrid minimally invasive or open oesophagectomy: a population‐based cohort study

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
All patients operated for oesophageal cancer in Sweden from 2013 to April 2018 were identified, and 246 patients were recruited to this population‐based nationwide Swedish study. The results show that longitudinal health‐related quality of life after minimally invasive oesophagectomy was similar to that of the open surgical approach.
