Laparoscopic resection of small bowel neuroendocrine tumors: A long‐term survival analysis
Abstract Small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNET) are rare neoplasms that often present insidiously and may be associated with mesenteric fibrosis and advanced disease at diagnosis. While open surgery has traditionally been the standard of care, the role of laparoscopic resection in patients with complex SBNET remains under evaluation.

Abstract Objectives Infants with cystic fibrosis (iwCF) have lower birth weights than others. That influences nutritional and pulmonary outcomes. It was reported that 86.0% of iwCF were born full‐term and 14.0% preterm. Data on the role of gestational age in growth and clinical outcomes of people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) is limited.
