Analysis of hospital costs for robotic and open pancreatectomy incurred during the implementation of a robotic pancreatectomy program at a cancer center

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this matched cohort study, total costs associated with robotic pancreatectomy were significantly lower than those associated with open pancreatectomy. High intraoperative costs associated with robotic pancreatectomies can be mitigated by other hospital related factors such as length of stay, number of medication prescriptions, and standardization of

Comprehensive genetic analysis of poorly differentiated gastric cancer in young females

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Although the involvement of female sex hormones in the development of poorly differentiated gastric cancer in young females is controversial, our detailed analysis using RNA‐seq suggested that the female sex hormone, β‐estradiol plays a role in the development of poorly differentiated gastric cancer in young females. Abstract Aim The reasons behind the

International Comparison of Geriatric‐Associated Variables in Major Gastroenterological Surgery Between National Clinical Database and American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Geriatric surgical risk factors and outcomes were compared between the US and Japanese databases. Geriatric‐associated preoperative variables and outcomes similarly increased with age. Mobility and functional domains differed between the two databases. ABSTRACT Backgrounds Incidence of malignant disease in older patients has been increasing.

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Adequate contact between the intubation tube and the vocal cord muscles is crucial for effective intraoperative nerve monitoring use during esophagectomy. Additionally, intraoperative posture significantly affects diagnostic outcomes and should be carefully considered.

Influence of Facility Size on Perioperative Outcomes in Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy for 14 152 Patients With Esophageal Cancer Based on the Japanese National Clinical Database: A Multicenter Cohort Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This multicenter study investigated 14 152 minimally invasive esophagectomies (MIEs) using data from the Japanese National Clinical Database and showed a significantly lower operative mortality rate in high‐volume centers than in low‐volume centers. However, no differences in morbidity rates were found between facility sizes.

Survival Outcomes of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients Who Underwent Salvage Esophagectomy: A Literature Review and Results From Two High‐Volume Centers

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study aimed to investigate survival outcomes, the efficacy of lymph node (LN) dissection, and recurrence patterns in 69 patients who underwent R0 salvage surgery for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Of note, abdominal LN metastases had a negative impact on survival in our series.
