Bowel preparation and surgical site infections in laparoscopic and robot‐assisted right‐sided colon cancer surgery with intracorporeal anastomosis: A retrospective study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This retrospective study investigated risk factors for surgical site infections (SSIs) in right‐sided colon cancer surgeries using intracorporeal anastomosis (IA). The results demonstrated that preoperative oral antibiotics (OA) significantly reduced SSI rates, with OA identified as an independent protective factor, suggesting its beneficial role in ...

Effect on short‐term outcomes of the COVID‐19 pandemic following laparoscopic distal gastrectomy and low anterior resection for gastric and rectal cancer: A retrospective study using the Japanese National Clinical Database, 2018–2022

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Mortality and anastomotic leakage, two very important complications assessed in SMR, did not worsen during the pandemic compared to prepandemic levels. In Japan, laparoscopic surgery was safe and unaffected by the COVID‐19 pandemic even in 2022, when the epidemic spread.

The impact of delayed adjuvant chemotherapy on survival in gastric cancer patients with and without preoperative chemotherapy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Delayed initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) is associated with significantly poorer postoperative survival in patients with gastric cancer, irrespective of whether preoperative chemotherapy was administered. These findings emphasize the importance of timely AC initiation to improve long‐term outcomes in this patient population.

Short‐term outcomes of intracorporeal anastomosis in laparoscopic colectomy for colon cancer: A nationwide, multi‐institutional cohort study in Japan (ICAN study)

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
We retrospectively compared intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomosis in patients undergoing laparoscopic colectomy for colon cancer in 46 institutions by using propensity‐score matching. Intracorporeal anastomosis showed advantages over extracorporeal anastomosis in terms of blood loss, intraoperative vascular injury, bowel recovery, and length of

Perioperative outcomes of esophagectomy after doublet versus docetaxel‐based triplet neoadjuvant chemotherapy in older patients: A nationwide inpatient database study in Japan

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this nationwide inpatient database study of 5229 patients aged 70–79 years who underwent esophagectomy for cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, overlap propensity score weighting analysis showed that neoadjuvant docetaxel‐based triplet regimen (docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5‐fluorouracil) was not associated with a higher incidence of perioperative ...

A multicenter randomized controlled trial evaluating the effect of the use of an anti‐adhesion barrier for diverting ileostomy on the multidimensional workload in minimally invasive surgery for rectal cancer (YCOG 2005: The ADOBARRIER study)

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This multicenter, single‐blind, randomized, controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the multidimensional workload of the first operator during ileostomy closure using the SURG‐TLX between groups with and without the use of the spray‐type anti‐adhesion material during diverting ileostomy construction.
