The management of chyle leak post-oesophagectomy for oesophageal carcinoma: a systematic review.

Introduction: Chyle leak is an uncommon yet potentially fatal complication of oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer. The management of chyle leak is a debated, controversial topic and to date there is no standardised approach or validated algorithm for its management. This review aims to summarise current treatment algorithms for chyle leak post-oesophagectomy and their outcomes.

Patient-reported outcomes after oesophagectomy in the multicentre LASER study.

Background: Data on the long-term symptom burden in patients surviving oesophageal cancer surgery are scarce. The aim of this study was to identify the most prevalent symptoms and their interactions with health-related quality of life.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional cohort study of patients who underwent oesophageal cancer surgery in 20 European centres between 2010 and 2016.

SARS-CoV-2 infection in acute pancreatitis increases disease severity and 30-day mortality: COVID PAN collaborative study.

Objective: There is emerging evidence that the pancreas may be a target organ of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This aim of this study was to investigate the outcome of patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) and coexistent SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Design: A prospective international multicentre cohort study including consecutive patients admitted with AP during the current pandemic was undertaken.
