Hypothermic Machine Perfusion Favorable in Transplanted Livers Obtained After Circulatory Death
Investigators compared the incidence of nonanastomotic biliary strictures in patients receiving a liver obtained after circulatory death that had undergone hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion or conventional static cold storage.
Outcomes for Complex GI Cancer Surgery Better at Top-Ranked Hospitals
For patients who require complex gastrointestinal cancer surgery, outcomes are improved when surgery is performed at top-ranked hospitals.
Superior Symptom Control and Quality of Life with Surgery vs Medical Treatment of GERD
Researchers performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare different medical and surgical interventions in the treatment of GERD.
Functional Luminal Imaging Probe Shows Promise for Calibration of Partial Fundoplication Construction During Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy
Investigators evaluated esophagogastric junction distensibility index (EGJ DI) in patients with achalasia at 4 different time points and assessed the association of DI with postoperative outcomes.
Laparoscopic Strictureplasty: A Safe, Feasible Treatment for Complicated Crohn Disease

OAGB and RYGB Weight Loss Procedures Feature Similar Early Safety Profiles
The investigators aimed to report on early experience with OAGB compared to RYGB in terms of complication rates.
Elevated Serum CRP After Colorectal Surgery Predicts Anastomotic Leakage
As serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels tend to rise in infective and inflammatory states, and elevated CRP has been linked to anastomotic leak (AL), these researchers conducted a meta-analysis of current CRP data in AL after colorectal surgery to find out more.
