Perioperative and Oncological Outcomes of Colorectal Cancer Surgery in Obese Patients: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The prognostic value of the log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) across BMI categories was investigated in patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection. The exploratory evidence demonstrates that LODDS serves as a strong prognostic marker, and its adverse effect may be more pronounced in patients with higher BMI.

Comparison of Anatomical and Non‐Anatomical Resection in Low Microvascular Invasion Risk Solitary Hepatocellular Carcinoma ≤ 5 cm

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
We evaluated whether anatomical resection (AR) provides an oncological benefit over non‐anatomical resection (NAR) in solitary hepatocellular carcinoma ≤ 5 cm without predicted microvascular invasion or intrahepatic metastasis, identified by preoperative DCP ≤ 150 mAU/mL.
