Patients with esophageal cancer and concomitant liver cirrhosis (LC) pose a surgical challenge because of the increased risk of postoperative complications and mortality. Purpose of this study was to review the existing literature and estimate perioperative short-term outcomes of esophagectomy in this patient population. Systematic review and meta-analysis.

- Total gastrectomy (TG) is the main treatment for gastric cancer, and while open TG (OTG) is the traditional method, newer techniques like laparoscopic and robotic surgeries are showing promising results.
- A systematic review and network meta-analysis of 68 studies with nearly 45,000 patients were conducted to compare the short-term outcomes of these different surgical techniques.
- Results suggest that minimally invasive methods like totally laparoscopic TG (TLTG) and robotic TG (RTG) have lower overall complications and better functional outcomes despite longer surgery times compared to OTG.
Background: Debate exists concerning the impact of D2 vs. D1 lymphadenectomy on long-term oncological outcomes after gastrectomy for cancer.
Methods: PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) analyzing the effect of D2 vs.
Background: Hydatid liver disease remains an important issue in endemic areas, which may require immediate surgery. Although laparoscopic surgery is on the rise, the presence of certain complications may require conversion to the open approach.
Aim: To compare the results of laparoscopic treatment and the open approach in the context of a 12-year single institution experience, and to perform a further comparison between results from the current study and those from a previous study.
The postoperative septic complications in gastrointestinal surgery impact immediate as well as long-term outcomes, which lead to reinterventions and additional costs. The authors presented the experience of three surgery clinics in Romania regarding the specific septic complications occurring in patients operated on for rectal cancer. The study group comprised 2674 patients who underwent surgery over a 5-year period (2017-2021).
