Health‐related quality of life following total minimally invasive, hybrid minimally invasive or open oesophagectomy: a population‐based cohort study

open access: yesBJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
All patients operated for oesophageal cancer in Sweden from 2013 to April 2018 were identified, and 246 patients were recruited to this population‐based nationwide Swedish study. The results show that longitudinal health‐related quality of life after minimally invasive oesophagectomy was similar to that of the open surgical approach.

Change in emotional eating after bariatric surgery: systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 995-1014, December 2020., 2020
In this meta‐analysis involving 17 studies, self‐reported emotional eating scores decreased significantly by a standardized mean difference of 1·09 (95 per cent c.i. 0·76 to 1·42) at 4–18 months after bariatric surgery. This raises the possibility of a mitigating effect of bariatric surgery on emotional eating in the short to medium term.

Selective decontamination of the digestive tract in upper gastrointestinal surgery: systematic review with meta‐analysis of randomized clinical trials

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1015-1021, December 2020., 2020
This meta‐analysis investigated the influence of selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD) on outcomes after upper gastrointestinal surgery. SDD led to a reduction in anastomotic leakage (odds ratio (OR) 0·39, 95 per cent c.i. 0·19 to 0·80; P = 0·010) and pneumonia (OR 0·42, 0·23 to 0·78; P = 0·006).

Obese patients and robotic colorectal surgery: systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1042-1053, December 2020., 2020
Obesity is a major health problem that doubles the chance of colorectal cancer. The benefits of robotic surgery for colorectal operations in obese patients versus non‐obese patients are unknown. This meta‐analysis and systematic review highlights that robotic surgery in obese patients is similar and feasible compared with that in non‐obese patients ...

Prehabilitation in elective abdominal cancer surgery in older patients: systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1022-1041, December 2020., 2020
This systematic review and meta‐analysis suggests that multimodal and nutrition‐alone prehabilitation interventions may reduce postoperative complications and length of hospital stay. More high‐quality research is needed specifically on prehabilitation for older patients. Use multimodal prehabilitation to reduce morbidity Background Prehabilitation has

Australasian ACPGBI risk prediction model for 30‐day mortality after colorectal cancer surgery

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1208-1216, December 2020., 2020
The aim was to test the Association of Coloproctologists of Great Britain and Ireland (ACPGBI) original (2003) and revised (2010) models as predictors of 30‐day mortality in an Australian patient cohort, and then recalibrate these models using data from Australian patients.

Alterations in blood microbiota after colonic cancer surgery

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1227-1237, December 2020., 2020
This study investigated changes in the amount of bacterial DNA in blood and the diversity of blood microbiota in the perioperative period in 30 patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery for colonic cancer. DNA encoding the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene (16S rDNA) was found in whole blood from these patients, and the amount of bacterial 16S rDNA

Laparoscopic versus open colorectal surgery in the acute setting (LaCeS trial): a multicentre randomized feasibility trial

open access: yesBJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 12, Page 1595-1604, November 2020., 2020
The LaCeS feasibility trial has demonstrated that it is possible to evaluate laparoscopic surgery in the emergency colorectal setting within the context of an RCT. It has also shown that it is possible to recruit to a surgical trial in the emergency setting, with good compliance to trial procedures and processes, and overall acceptability by patients ...

Impact of anastomotic leak on long‐term survival in patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer

open access: yesBJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 12, Page 1648-1658, November 2020., 2020
This study demonstrates that anastomotic leakage leads to prolonged critical care and in‐hospital stay, and is associated with compromised long‐term overall survival. Future research should aim at developing mechanisms and interventions to reduce the risk of anastomotic leaks. Leaks impair outcomes Background The impact of anastomotic leak (AL) on long‐
