Central ligation or partial preservation of the right gastric artery does not seem to affect conduit or anastomotic perfusion during robot-assisted resection of gastroesophageal junction cancer: a randomized clinical trial.

The gastric conduit can be created with partial preservation or a central ligation of the right gastric artery. Central ligation may facilitate complete removal of lymph node (LN) station 3; however, whether this influences conduit and anastomotic perfusion is unknown. Hence this study investigated whether a central ligation of the right gastric artery would affect conduit or anastomotic perfusion compared with partial preservation (local standard) during robot-assisted resection of gastroesophageal junction cancer.

Short-Term Surgical Outcomes After Robotic Liver Surgery: A Propensity-Score Matched Analysis With Conventional Open Liver Surgery at a High-Volume Centre in Denmark.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the perioperative outcomes of robotic liver surgery (RLS) and Open liver surgery (OLS) in a centre with a high number of operations.

Methods: A 1:1 propensity score matched (PSM) analysis of a retrospective database of RLS and OLS was performed. Cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis was performed to identify learning curves.

Enhancing Measurement Precision in the Ms. Olsen Test of Clinical Competence: Further Examinations.

Aim: This paper aims to report on two modifications made to improve the measurement precision of the Ms. Olsen test. Specifically, three items were added to the Ms.

Efficacy and safety of robotic liver surgery for the elderly: A propensity-score matched analysis of short-term outcomes with open liver surgery at a single center in Denmark.

Background: The incidence of liver tumors requiring surgical treatment continues to increase in elderly patients. This study compared the short-term results of robotic liver surgery (RLS) versus open liver surgery (OLS) for liver tumors in elderly patients.

Methods: A prospective database including all patients undergoing liver surgery at Copenhagen University Hospital between July 2019 and July 2022 was managed retrospectively.
