Research quality and transparency, outcome measurement and evidence for safety and effectiveness in robot‐assisted surgery: systematic review

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1084-1099, December 2020., 2020
Robot‐assisted surgery is expanding rapidly, but the evidence base is poor. This article demonstrates the heavy weighting to research in certain specialties, no clear safety or efficacy benefit, inconsistent choice of outcome measures, and poor research governance. These factors significantly increase the risk associated with adopting these potentially

Breast cancer surgery in older women: outcomes of the Bridging Age Gap in Breast Cancer study

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 11, Page 1468-1479, October 2020., 2020
Age, ill health and frailty all influence surgical decision‐making for breast cancer. Breast cancer surgery is safe, with serious adverse events being rare and no mortality. However, surgery has a negative impact on quality of life and independence, which must be considered when counselling patients about choices.

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 11, Page 1529-1538, October 2020., 2020
In a Swedish population‐based database, the cumulative incidence of a first abdominal surgical procedure after a diagnosis of Crohn's disease has decreased by two‐thirds over the past 25 years. The risk of repeat abdominal surgery has not decreased since the introduction of biologicals. Ileocaecal resection remained the most common procedure during the
