Impact of Two‐Team Surgery on Short‐ and Long‐Term Outcomes of Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision for Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigated the impact of two‐team surgery on short‐ and long‐term outcomes of transanal total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer. Two‐team surgery has some advantages over one‐team surgery, such as shorter operation time, decreased estimated blood loss, increased number of lymph nodes dissected, and decreased positive distal margin ...

Prognostic Value of Psoas Major Muscle Volume in Assessing Sarcopenia in Elderly Patients With Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigates the prognostic utility of a novel volumetric indicator—psoas volume index (PVI)—for assessing sarcopenia in elderly rectal cancer patients. Sarcopenia classified by our proposed PVI cut‐off values was associated with poor nutritional and inflammatory status, and patients with low PVI showed significantly worse long‐term outcomes.

Nationwide Real‐World Modeling of Surgical Outcomes in Elderly Patients: Incorporating Geriatric‐Specific Risk Factors Into Prediction of Mortality and Morbidity

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
A reliable and effective risk prediction model for mortality and morbidity in elderly patients undergoing gastroenterological surgeries was developed and validated. Geriatric‐specific risk factors, including the newly added variables in the NCD registry, along with age, were identified as significant contributors to the model. ABSTRACT Aim As the aging

Bona Fide Intersegmental Plane Hepatectomy Along the Glissonean Branches (BIPHG)

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review traces the author's personal journey over three decades in the evolution of liver resection techniques, culminating in the proposal of the Bona Fide Intersegmental Plane Hepatectomy Along Glissonean Branches (BIPHG). Beginning with pioneering experiences in laparoscopic and robotic liver surgeries, the author highlights key ...

From [NHC─H]• to Persistent σ‐Complex Radicals: Photoinduced Radical Chemistry of Imidazolium Salts

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Visible‐light excitation of electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complexes between imidazolium salts and triarylamines enables controlled single‐electron transfer (SET) and reveals a family of carbene‐centered σ‐complex radical cations. Cryogenic electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) captures the elusive [NHC─H]• intermediate and its thermal evolution into ...

Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Anatomic Liver Resection: Comparison of Perioperative Outcomes—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Minimally invasive anatomic liver resection (AR) including major hepatectomy and liver parenchyma‐sparing AR is technically complex and demanding. This systematic review with meta‐analysis including 15 studies comparing 2042 robotic AR and 2129 laparoscopic AR patients demonstrated largely comparable perioperative outcomes and partly better outcomes ...
