Abstract Objective A trial comparing prenatal with postnatal open spina bifida (OSB) repair established that prenatal surgery was associated with better postnatal outcome. However, in the trial, fetal surgery was carried out through hysterotomy. Minimally invasive approaches are being developed to mitigate the risks of open maternal–fetal surgery.

Remnant cancer missed by endoscopic biopsies was located in the mucosa in two‐thirds of patients with residual disease after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT). One‐third of patients had residual disease in the submucosa underneath a tumour‐free mucosa. The yield of biopsies in active surveillance after nCRT could be improved by sampling larger areas

Is out‐of‐hours cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis associated with complications?
Early surgery is recommended for acute cholecystitis. The study was performed to see whether surgery out of hours is associated with a higher risk of complications compared with surgery within office hours. There was a higher risk of complications for out‐of‐hours surgery, but it seemed to be due to factors other than time of day of surgery.

Reintervention or mortality within 90 days of bariatric surgery: population‐based cohort study
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 ...

The outcomes of 586 procedures performed or attended by surgeons certified by the Endoscopic Surgical Skill Qualification System (ESSQS) were compared with 842 procedures performed by surgeons without the ESSQS qualification. Attendance of ESSQS‐qualified surgeons led to superior outcomes in terms of duration of surgery, and operative complication and ...

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.

The risk of anastomotic stricture requiring dilatation after minimally invasive (239 patients) and open (1430 patients) oesophagectomy was compared in a population‐based setting. Endoscopic anastomotic dilatation was common, and the need for repeated dilatation was higher after minimally invasive surgery.

Multicentre study of surgical referral and outcomes of patients with benign colorectal lesions
This multicentre cohort study found that the majority of benign colorectal lesions referred for bowel resection in the Netherlands were classified as complex. Size was the most common reason for surgical referral, followed by a suspicion of invasive growth, difficult location and non‐lifting sign. Considering the substantial morbidity following surgery
