Laparoscopic versus open rectal resection. a 1:2 propensity score-matched analysis of oncological adequateness, short- and long-term outcomes

Laparoscopic resections for rectal cancer are routinely performed in high-volume centres. Despite short-term advantages have been demonstrated, the oncological outcomes are still debated. The aim of this study was to compare the oncological adequateness of the surgical specimen and the long-term outcomes between open (ORR) and laparoscopic (LRR) rectal resections.

10-Year follow-up after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Outcomes in a monocentric series

BACKGROUND:
Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has grown into the most popular bariatric operation. Nevertheless, a scarcity of long-term outcomes are available.
OBJECTIVES:
This study aims at evaluating the long-term percent weight loss (%WL), excess weight loss (%EWL), weight regain (WR), and co-morbidity resolution rates in a single-center cohort undergoing SG as a primary procedure, with a minimum 10-year follow-up.
SETTING:
University hospital, Italy.
METHODS:

Long-term oncologic outcomes of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with totally intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD): a multi-center study

Purpose: To report survival outcomes after robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) for recurrent/muscle-invasive non-metastatic bladder cancer. Methods: Prospectively maintained databases were queried for “robotic cystectomy AND ICUD”. Patients treated after October 2013 and those treated without curative intent were excluded. Kaplan–Meier method was used to plot stage-specific survival outcomes, computed at 1, 2, and 5 years after surgery.
