A history of gastrectomy is a risk factor for choledocholithiasis in patients undergoing cholecystectomy: A single center retrospective study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This retrospective study suggests that gastrectomy is a risk factor for choledocholithiasis. Especially in terms of the differences in reconstruction methods, the median time from gastrectomy to development of choledocholithiasis was 5.5 years for Roux‐en‐Y, which was significantly faster than 20 years for Billroth I and 35 years for Billroth II ...

Comparison between olanexidine gluconate and conventional antiseptics for surgical site infection in gastroenterological surgery: A meta‐analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This meta‐analysis compared olanexidine gluconate (OLG) with conventional antiseptics on surgical site infections (SSIs) in gastroenterological surgery. OLG significantly reduced overall SSIs without statistical heterogeneity. Abstract Aim To compare the preventative effect of the new antiseptic olanexidine gluconate (OLG) with conventional antiseptics

International Comparison of Geriatric‐Associated Variables in Major Gastroenterological Surgery Between National Clinical Database and American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Geriatric surgical risk factors and outcomes were compared between the US and Japanese databases. Geriatric‐associated preoperative variables and outcomes similarly increased with age. Mobility and functional domains differed between the two databases. ABSTRACT Backgrounds Incidence of malignant disease in older patients has been increasing.

Elucidating the Molecular Landscape of Cystic Kidney Disease: Old Friends, New Friends and Some Surprises

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 197, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Cystic kidney diseases (CyKD) are a diverse group of disorders affecting more than 1 in 1000 individuals. Over 120 genes are implicated, primarily encoding components of the primary cilium, transcription factors, and morphogens. Prognosis varies greatly by molecular diagnosis. Causal variants are not identified in 10%–60% of individuals due to
