Helicobacter pylori virulence genotypes in Bogotá River and wastewater treatment plants in Colombia
Helicobacter, Volume 28, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Background Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that infects 70%–80% of the population in Colombia, causing chronic gastritis in all those infected and gastric cancer in 1%–2% of those infected. In Colombia, some studies have identified the presence of vacA and cagA genes in environmental samples such as treated, surface, and wastewater, but ...

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 12, Page 1648-1658, November 2020., 2020 This study demonstrates that anastomotic leakage leads to prolonged critical care and in‐hospital stay, and is associated with compromised long‐term overall survival. Future research should aim at developing mechanisms and interventions to reduce the risk of anastomotic leaks. Leaks impair outcomes Background The impact of anastomotic leak (AL) on long‐

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 11, Page 1500-1509, October 2020., 2020 This national cohort study of 5959 patients with oesophageal and gastro‐oesophageal junction (GOJ) cancer showed improved survival for patients in counties with a higher rate of treatment with curative intent and higher resection rate. Explanation needed Background Only around one‐quarter of patients with cancer of the oesophagus and the gastro ...

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 804-810, October 2020., 2020 This RCT compared intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) alone with IPC plus enoxaparin for 1 week after surgery in the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for gastric or colorectal malignancy. Although VTE occurred in 4·8 per cent of the ICP‐alone group and 3·3 per cent of the ICP with enoxaparin ...

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 830-839, October 2020., 2020 Laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy (LSG) is associated with good perioperative outcomes and superior quality of life compared with the open approach to resection of gastric adenocarcinoma, albeit at higher cost. A cost–effectiveness analysis comparing the two approaches found LSG to be cost‐effective compared with the open approach, with an incremental ...

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 865-872, October 2020., 2020 Perirenal fat thickness exhibited a significant correlation with visceral fat area. Furthermore, a positive perirenal fat thickness sign was associated with complications and was an independent risk factor after laparoscopic distal gastrectomy. Novel indicator that merits evaluation in western patients Background Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is used

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 10, Page 1281-1288, September 2020., 2020 Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) was compared with open distal pancreatectomy (ODP) in a randomized trial. LDP was associated with shorter hospital stay, enhanced functional recovery, and less bleeding than ODP. Shorter hospital stay with laparoscopy Background Studies have suggested that laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) is advantageous

Reintervention or mortality within 90 days of bariatric surgery: population‐based cohort study
BJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 9, Page 1221-1230, August 2020., 2020 This population‐based study in five Nordic countries, including 49 977 patients, showed that older age and co‐morbidity increased the risk of reintervention or death within 90 days after bariatric surgery. Sex, surgical approach and hospital volume did not appear to influence this risk, but female sex and laparoscopic approach were associated with ...

Nationwide study of the impact of D2 lymphadenectomy on survival after gastric cancer surgery
BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 424-431, June 2020., 2020 A nationwide prospective register‐based study examined the extent of lymphadenectomy in curative gastric cancer surgery and its effects on long‐term survival. More evidence in favour of thorough lymphadenectomy Background Gastrectomy including D2 lymphadenectomy is regarded as the standard curative treatment for advanced gastric cancer in Asia.

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 252-259, April 2020., 2020 Laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with double‐flap technique is different from laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy in terms of preventing problems involving the small intestine and anaemia after surgery for proximal early gastric cancer. However, these procedures are comparable for other outcomes, even though they are opposing procedures.
