Article Synopsis
- The study aims to provide updated evidence for managing stage I colon cancer (CC) post-surgery, focusing on recurrence rates and risk factors.
- Despite low recurrence risk, some guidelines suggest intensive follow-up is unnecessary, but data on actual recurrence rates is limited.
- The findings reveal a 5% recurrence rate, primarily systemic, with significant risk factors including tumor characteristics and patient demographics, suggesting a need for improved postoperative follow-up strategies.

Importance: Evidence suggests that prophylactic abdominal drainage after gastrectomy for cancer may reduce postoperative morbidity and hospital stay but this evidence comes from small studies with a high risk of bias. Further research is needed to determine whether drains safely meet their primary purpose of identifying and managing postoperative intraperitoneal collections without the need for reoperation or additional percutaneous drainage.
Objective: To determine whether avoiding routine abdominal drainage increased postoperative invasive procedures.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the effectiveness of Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) for treating esophageal cancer at various centers globally, aiming to pinpoint areas for enhancement in surgical outcomes.
- Over three time periods (2016-2023), data from 28 centers was analyzed, revealing improvements in textbook outcome rates, lymph node yields, and decreased hospital stays, particularly with McKeown procedures.
- The results showed varying success rates in surgical outcomes and complications, with a noteworthy decrease in anastomotic leakage rates and hospital stays over time, highlighting advancements in surgical techniques.
