Purpose: To compare the pathophysiology and surgical outcomes of emergency surgery for upper gastrointestinal tract perforation with and without fungal peritonitis and identify the risk factors for fungal peritonitis.
Methods: The subjects of this retrospective study were patients with upper gastrointestinal perforation and peritonitis who underwent emergency surgery at a single medical center in Japan. The patients were allocated to two groups according to the presence or absence of fungal peritonitis: group F and group N, respectively.
Article Synopsis
- * Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is usually better for severe obesity linked to GERD, but it's not ideal for Japanese patients due to their higher gastric cancer risk and challenges with observing the stomach during endoscopies.
- * A new method combining LSG and Toupet fundoplication (called T-sleeve) was tested and showed promising results in a patient, suggesting it could be a viable treatment for Japanese patients with severe obesity and GERD
Objective: Anastomotic leakage is one of the most severe complications after esophagectomy. However, a diagnostic gold standard for anastomotic leakage has not been established yet. This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the potential use of routine postoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography findings as an early predictor of anastomotic leakage in patients who underwent esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.

However, its effect on patients undergoing neoadjuvant docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (DCF) therapy followed by esophagectomy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the prognostic impact of TI cells in patients who underwent esophagectomy following neoadjuvant DCF therapy.

This study aimed to assess the anatomical and vascular factors affecting the hemodynamics of the gastric conduit and develop a novel risk stratification system in patients undergoing esophagectomy with retrosternal reconstruction.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 202 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent subtotal esophagectomy with gastric tube retrosternal reconstruction between January 2008 and December 2020.
