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 ...

Assessment of graft perfusion and oxygenation for improved outcome in esophageal cancer surgery : protocol for a single-center prospective observational study [PDF]

, 2018
Introduction: The main cause of anastomotic leakage (AL) is tissue hypoxia, which results from impaired perfusion of the pedicle stomach graft after esophageal reconstruction. Clinical judgment is unreliable in determining graft perfusion.

Salvage esophagectomy for unresectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: Significant or not?

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract We reviewed the current status and perspectives on salvage esophagectomy for initially unresectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in the era of minimally invasive surgery and immunotherapy. Although the standard treatment for these patients is definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT), the complete response rate to CRT ...

Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) is gaining rapid popularity as an alternative to conventional open esophagectomy. However, whether incorporating laparoscopy into MIE can further help the patients with esophageal cancer has rarely been studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term clinical efficacy of thoracoscopic-laparoscopic ...
