The Influence of Surgeons' Gender on Surgical Outcomes in Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy: A Japanese Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study analyzed 58 503 laparoscopic right hemicolectomies for colon cancer in Japan between 2018 and 2022, comparing outcomes between male and female surgeons. No significant differences were found in surgical mortality or severe complications. Tailored surgical training programs for female surgeons may further enhance surgical outcomes.

Comparing Prophylactic Administration of Sulbactam/Ampicillin Versus Cefmetazole for Prevention of Perineal Wound Infection Following Abdominoperineal Resection for Rectal Cancer: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This prospective randomized trial demonstrated that a 4‐day regimen of sulbactam/ampicillin significantly reduced the incidence of perineal wound infection (PWI) following abdominoperineal resection compared to a 1‐day cefmetazole regimen. This simple approach to antibiotic selection may be beneficial for preventing PWI.

Exercise and Nutrition Prehabilitation Program During Preoperative Chemotherapy Followed by Esophagectomy in Older Patients With Esophageal Cancer: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This prospective randomized trial evaluated whether prehabilitation, exercise and nutrition intervention, enhance skeletal muscle mass during neoadjuvant chemotherapy in older patients with esophageal cancer undergoing esophagectomy. We also investigated whether exercise alone was sufficient to increase skeletal muscle mass, and whether nutritional ...
