Article Synopsis
- Various anastomotic and reconstruction techniques were assessed in patients undergoing minimally invasive total (miTG) and distal gastrectomy (miDG) to understand their impact on postoperative complications.
- A study involving over 4,200 patients found that miTG had significantly higher rates of complications like anastomotic leakage and overall morbidity compared to miDG.
- The findings suggest that miDG is preferable for patients needing surgery, while linear stapled techniques should be favored in miTG to minimize risks.*
Background And Aim: Cancer is one of the foremost causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Globally, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most diagnosed and fourth most important cause of cancer death. A total of 70% of all CRC-related deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries.

- The review evaluates the effectiveness and safety of surgical portosystemic shunts compared to transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for treating difficult or recurring variceal hemorrhage in patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension.
- The authors conducted a thorough search of multiple medical databases and selected randomized clinical trials that met specific inclusion criteria for this assessment.
- Four trials involving a total of 496 adult participants were identified, revealing a general concern regarding bias across the studies.
