Contemporary Regional Disparities in Robotic‐Assisted Rectal Resection in Japan: A Nationwide Population‐Based Study Using the National Database Open Data

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Robotic‐assisted rectal resection in Japan increased markedly after national insurance reimbursement in 2018, with a concurrent decline in open surgery. Using NDB Open Data, we found substantial inter‐prefectural heterogeneity in surgical volume and robotic utilization that persisted after age and sex standardization (SCR). Urban–rural differences were

Very Long‐Term Outcomes of Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding in a Japanese Cohort: A Single‐Center 15‐Year Follow‐Up Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Long‐term outcomes of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) in Japan were retrospectively evaluated in 28 patients with up to 15 years of follow‐up. LAGB achieved sustained long‐term weight reduction in selected patients; however, recurrence of metabolic comorbidities increased during extended follow‐up.

Prognostic Impact of Metastasis Timing in Metastatic Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) commonly metastasize to the liver and peritoneum. Metastases may be detected synchronously at the time of initial diagnosis or develop metachronously after curative‐intent resection. Nonetheless, the prognostic significance of metastasis timing in advanced GIST remains unclear.

Return‐To‐Work and Working Status After Surgery for Gastric and Esophageal Cancer: A Prospective Observational Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this multicenter prospective study of 158 working‐age patients undergoing curative‐intent surgery for gastric or esophageal cancer, 78.5% were working at 18 months. Postoperative appetite loss, financial difficulties, and ≥ 10% weight loss at 6 months were associated with non‐working status.

Carcinoembryonic Antigen Messenger RNA in Pelvic Lavage Fluid Predicts Local Recurrence After Curative‐Intent Resection of Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Pelvic lavage carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) mRNA was quantified in 178 patients undergoing curative‐intent resection for rectal cancer. Positive pelvic lavage CEA mRNA was significantly associated with local recurrence and provided additional prognostic information beyond circumferential resection margin (CRM) status.

While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.
