The Effectiveness of Anti‐Adhesion Barriers on Prevention of Postoperative Adhesive Bowel Obstruction: Disease‐Free Survival Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
We performed a survival analysis of abdominal gastroenterological cancer surgery cases with and without anti‐adhesive barriers, with the development of adhesive bowel obstruction as the outcome. The incidence of adhesive bowel obstruction was significantly lower in patients undergoing open or laparoscopic colorectal surgery in the anti‐adhesive ...

Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Cooperative Surgery for Gastric Cancer as an Alternative Treatment in Elderly Patients: A Prospective Observational Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In a prospective study of 20 elderly gastric cancer patients who declined gastrectomy, laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) was technically safe and preserved postoperative function. However, as oncological curability cannot be assured in advanced cases, careful selection and informed consent are essential.

Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery in the Era of Robotics: Evolution, Eclipse, or Equilibrium?

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Minimally invasive colorectal surgery has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past three decades. Laparoscopy, once viewed with skepticism, is now firmly established as a standard approach, supported by robust randomized trials demonstrating oncologic safety and improved recovery compared to open surgery.

Enhancing Surgical Efficiency and Cost‐Effectiveness With TaTME‐Combined Robot‐Assisted Surgery for Lower Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Robot‐assisted rectal surgery (RAS) offers improved dexterity and visualization; however, the high cost of equipment and consumables remains a major challenge for hospital management. At our institution, we have adopted a combined approach using transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) for lower rectal cancers, aiming to shorten ...
