Full robotic versus open ALPPS: a bi-institutional comparison of perioperative outcomes
ConclusionRobotic ALPPS was safely implemented and showed potential for improved perioperative outcomes compared to open ALPPS in an experienced robotic center. The robotic approach might bring the perioperative risk profile of ALPPS closer to interventional techniques of portal vein embolization/liver venous deprivation. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Laparoscopic vs robotic inguinal hernia repair: a comparison of learning curves and skill transference in general surgery residents
ConclusionThe robotic platform may be a more effective teaching tool with a higher degree of entrustability indicated by the higher mean resident participation. We observed a greater degree of skill transference from laparoscopy to the robot, indicated by a higher degree of correlation between the resident ’s prior laparoscopic experience and the percent console time in robotic cases. There was minimal correlation between residents’ prior robotic experience and their participation in laparoscopic cases. Our findings suggest that the learning curve for the robot may be shorter as prior robotic expe rience had a much str...

Correlation of pathological examination with indocyanine green (ICG) intensity gradients: a prospective study in patients with liver tumor
ConclusionThe use of ICG fluorescence can be helpful in determining resection margins. Resection of tumor should include complete resection of the green zone shown in the fluorescence image. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Feasibility of laparoscopic/robot-assisted surgery for Borrmann type 4 gastric cancer: a comparison study with conventional open surgery
ConclusionWhile multidisciplinary treatment is mainstay of treatment because of the poor prognosis of this disease, minimally invasive surgery may play an important role in treatment if appropriate patient selection is done. Further analyses with larger sample size are necessary to reach a final conclusion regarding oncological efficacy. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

SAGES White Paper on the importance of diversity in surgical leadership: creating the fundamentals of leadership development (FLD) curriculum
ConclusionThe FLD curriculum is a novel leadership curriculum that provided surgeon leaders with the knowledge and tools to improve diversity in three areas: pipeline improvement, healthcare equity, and conflict negotiation. Future directions include using pilot course feedback to enhance curricular effectiveness and delivery. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Personalized anti-reflux surgery: connecting GERD phenotypes in 690 patients to outcomes
ConclusionsWe have identified distinct phenotypes based on common GERD-associated patient characteristics. With further study these phenotypes may aid surgeons in prognosticating outcomes to individual patients considering an anti-reflux procedure. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Laparoscopic repair of duodenal atresia: systematic review and meta-analysis after consistent implementation of the technique in the past decade
ConclusionsLRDA showed equivalent complication rates compared to OR with an additional benefit of quicker establishment of feeds. There was no significant difference in complication and conversion rates between laparoscopic techniques. Despite a longer operative time, LRDA provides a safe minimal access approach for neonates after this consistent implementation of the technique in the past decade. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)
