Article Synopsis
- The study examined how the size of the resected stomach after laparoscopic pylorus-preserving gastrectomy affects delayed gastric emptying (DGE) and food residue one year post-surgery.
- Patients were divided into two groups: those with DGE symptoms and a control group without, showing that the DGE group was older and had smaller stomach sections.
- Findings suggest that larger resections of the greater curvature might help reduce DGE, indicating a need for improved surgical strategies and further research to confirm the results.
Sentinel node navigation surgery (SNNS) has become a standard procedure for early-stage melanoma and breast cancer. However, very few studies have evaluated the long-term clinical outcomes following SNNS for gastric cancer. The present study analyzed 51 patients with cT1 gastric cancer who underwent SNNS at our hospital.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to clear which systemic immunoinflammatory measures had the greatest prognostic values. In addition, we examined which component had the greatest prognostic power in patients with esophageal cancer.
Article Synopsis
- Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is a rare condition that can occur following chemotherapy, as illustrated by a 70-year-old man who developed it after receiving cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil for esophageal cancer.
- After experiencing acute abdominal pain, CT scans showed extensive PI in the colon but no signs of ischemia, leading to a decision for conservative treatment.
- By Day 7, follow-up CT scans showed that the PI had resolved, allowing the patient to successfully undergo surgery without complications, highlighting the importance of recognizing and managing PI conservatively in patients undergoing CF therapy.
Factor XI deficiency is rare but may cause life-threatening bleeding during the perioperative period. The clinical manifestation of factor XI deficiency is characterized by bleeding tendency. This unpredictable bleeding tendency makes anesthetic management difficult.
