Development of a Scoring System to Predict the Treatment Success for Nonoperative Management of Peptic Ulcer Perforation: A Secondary Data Analysis of PPAP Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although surgical treatment is the primary measure for patients with perforated peptic ulcer (PPU), nonoperative management (NOM) has become a common alternative. However, risk score models predicting the success of NOM based on the analysis of a large number of patients remain scarce.

Gastric Distension Index: A Novel Radiographic Marker Associated With Postoperative Gastric Stasis After Gastrectomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study introduces the Hiki Index (HI), a novel radiographic metric based on upright abdominal X‐rays, to objectively assess postoperative gastric dilatation after gastrectomy. The HI demonstrated strong predictive value for gastrointestinal symptoms and the need for therapeutic intervention, offering a practical tool for early detection and ...

Integrating Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors With Total Neoadjuvant Therapy in Proficient Mismatch Repair Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The key to unlocking ICI benefit in pMMR/MSS LARC is to convert “cold” tumors into “hot” ones through lymphocyte‐sparing SCRT and judicious chemotherapy, creating a milieu in which ICIs can act effectively. ABSTRACT The management of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) has evolved with the adoption of total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT), integrated ...

Impact of Low Preoperative Prognostic Immune Nutritional Index on Survival and Postoperative Infectious Complications in Patients With Colorectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The prognostic immune nutritional index (PINI) is increasingly recognized for its potential clinical utility. However, multifaceted evaluations of its ability to predict oncological outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC) and its association with postoperative infectious complications remain limited.

A Multicenter Collaborative Study on the Safety and Efficacy of Laparoscopic Appendectomy During Pregnancy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) during pregnancy was evaluated in a multicenter retrospective study in Japan. LA showed comparable maternal and fetal safety to open appendectomy (OA), supporting the feasibility and safety of LA in pregnant patients. ABSTRACT Aim Acute appendicitis in pregnant women requires accurate diagnosis and treatment because of ...

Prognostic Utility of the Preoperative Cachexia Index in Patients Undergoing Emergency Laparotomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The preoperative cachexia index, incorporating muscle mass, nutritional status, and inflammation, predicts in‐hospital and one‐year mortality in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy. This simple index may aid in risk stratification and perioperative decision‐making in high‐risk surgical patients. ABSTRACT Aim Emergency laparotomy is associated with
