Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.Mortality and anastomotic leakage, two very important complications assessed in SMR, did not worsen during the pandemic compared to prepandemic levels. In Japan, laparoscopic surgery was safe and unaffected by the COVID‐19 pandemic even in 2022, when the epidemic spread.

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.Three‐year relapse‐free survival was possibly better in severe obese patients (BMI ≥28.5 kg/m2) who underwent laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer. It suggests that the prognosis of highly obese colorectal cancer patients follow the obesity paradox. Abstract Background The impact of obesity on colon cancer remains unclear.
