Single‐Incision Laparoscopy‐First Strategy in Crohn's Disease: Risk Factors for Conversion and Surgical Outcomes

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this retrospective study of 289 patients with Crohn's disease undergoing a single‐incision laparoscopy‐first (SILS‐first) strategy, conversion to open surgery was required in only 11.8% of cases. Fistula formation, colon resection, and smoking history were identified as independent risk factors for conversion, while postoperative complications and ...

Prognostic Impact of Metastasis Timing in Metastatic Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) commonly metastasize to the liver and peritoneum. Metastases may be detected synchronously at the time of initial diagnosis or develop metachronously after curative‐intent resection. Nonetheless, the prognostic significance of metastasis timing in advanced GIST remains unclear.
