Shortening surgical training through robotics: randomized clinical trial of laparoscopic versus robotic surgical learning curves

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1100-1108, December 2020., 2020
Medical students and surgical trainees were randomized to robotic or laparoscopic simulator training followed by cadaveric surgical tasks. The robotic groups had a shorter learning curve with better task performance. Another advantage for robotic surgery Background Minimally invasive surgery is the standard technique for many operations.

Laparoscopic versus open colorectal surgery in the acute setting (LaCeS trial): a multicentre randomized feasibility trial

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 12, Page 1595-1604, November 2020., 2020
The LaCeS feasibility trial has demonstrated that it is possible to evaluate laparoscopic surgery in the emergency colorectal setting within the context of an RCT. It has also shown that it is possible to recruit to a surgical trial in the emergency setting, with good compliance to trial procedures and processes, and overall acceptability by patients ...

Variation in descriptors of patient characteristics in randomized clinical trials of peptic ulcer repair: a systematic review

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 12, Page 1570-1579, November 2020., 2020
This study demonstrates the variation in reporting of descriptors of patients in studies comparing laparoscopic and open peptic ulcer repair. It shows wider variation, and proposes the need to address this to improve the quality of research. Makes comparisons difficult Background The ability to compare findings across surgical research is important ...

Intermittent pneumatic compression versus additional prophylaxis with enoxaparin for prevention of venous thromboembolism after laparoscopic surgery for gastric and colorectal malignancies: multicentre randomized clinical trial

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 ...

Laparoscopic versus open subtotal gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma: cost‐effectiveness analysis

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 ...

Minimally invasive techniques for transthoracic oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer: systematic review and network meta‐analysis

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 787-803, October 2020., 2020
Minimally invasive and robotic techniques for oesophagectomy are associated with reduced perioperative morbidity and length of hospital stay, with no compromise of oncological outcomes but no improvement in perioperative mortality. There are suggestions of improved long‐term survival with minimally invasive oesophagectomy and robotic minimally invasive

Perirenal fat thickness as a predictor of postoperative complications after laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer

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

Comparison of the duration of hospital stay after laparoscopic or open distal pancreatectomy: randomized controlled trial

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 ...

Prediction of surgical difficulty in minimally invasive surgery for rectal cancer by use of MRI pelvimetry

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 666-677, August 2020., 2020
This study highlights the impact of MRI pelvimetry in predicting surgical difficulty in laparoscopic rectal surgery. Multivariable analysis identified that surgical difficulty was significantly associated with four variables: BMI, tumour size, anorectal angle and pelvic outlet.
