Prognostic Utility of the Preoperative Cachexia Index in Patients Undergoing Emergency Laparotomy
The preoperative cachexia index, incorporating muscle mass, nutritional status, and inflammation, predicts in‐hospital and one‐year mortality in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy. This simple index may aid in risk stratification and perioperative decision‐making in high‐risk surgical patients. ABSTRACT Aim Emergency laparotomy is associated with

This study analyzed 58 503 laparoscopic right hemicolectomies for colon cancer in Japan between 2018 and 2022, comparing outcomes between male and female surgeons. No significant differences were found in surgical mortality or severe complications. Tailored surgical training programs for female surgeons may further enhance surgical outcomes.

Total Neoadjuvant Therapy for Rectal Cancer: Why Japan Says “Not Yet”
ABSTRACT Total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) has rapidly gained global acceptance as a standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Supported by multiple phase III trials, TNT improves pathological complete response (pCR) rates, enhances systemic control, and expands opportunities for non‐operative management (NOM).

Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery in the Era of Robotics: Evolution, Eclipse, or Equilibrium?
ABSTRACT Minimally invasive colorectal surgery has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past three decades. Laparoscopy, once viewed with skepticism, is now firmly established as a standard approach, supported by robust randomized trials demonstrating oncologic safety and improved recovery compared to open surgery.

Large Language Model in Materials Science: Roles, Challenges, and Strategic Outlook
Large language models (LLMs) are reshaping materials science. Acting as Oracle, Surrogate, Quant, and Arbiter, they now extract knowledge, predict properties, gauge risk, and steer decisions within a traceable loop. Overcoming data heterogeneity, hallucinations, and poor interpretability demands domain‐adapted models, cross‐modal data standards, and ...
