Measuring surgical safety during minimally invasive surgical procedures: a validation study [PDF]
During the implementation of new interventions (i.e., surgical devices and technologies) in the operating room, surgical safety might be compromised. Current safety measures are insufficient in detecting safety hazards during this process. The aim of the study was to observe whether surgical teams are capable of measuring surgical safety, especially ...

Optimal minimally invasive surgical procedure for gastric submucosal tumors [PDF]
Laparoscopic wedge resection (LWR) is widely performed for managing gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs). Despite the development of novel procedures such as laparoscopy-endoscopy cooperative surgery (LECS) and nonexposed endoscopic wall-inversion surgery (NEWS), the most appropriate surgical intervention for gastric SMTs remains unclear.We retrospectively
