Objective: Nutritional intervention is important in abdominal-surgical patients. The primary objective was to determine the prevalence of malnutrition in abdominal-surgical patients. The secondary objectives were to determine the rate of nutritional assessment and the association of malnutrition to postoperative complications.
Material And Method: 106 elective abdominal-surgical patients at Thammasat hospital from September 2008 to February 2010 were assessed preoperatively by independent research assistant using ESPEN criteria for preoperative nutritional support as diagnostic criteria. The rate of nutritional assessment that had been done to these 106 patients by their responsible physicians was also determined using medical records and patients' interview by research assistant. Severe malnutritional patients according to ESPEN criteria that were not been assessed preoperatively by their responsible physicians about nutritional status were compared between benign and malignant group. The association of malnutrition to postoperative complications was also analyzed with adjusting for other confounding factors.
Results: 29 patients (27%) of 106 abdominal-surgical patients had malnutrition. The prevalence of malnutrition was significant higher inpatient with malignancy (18 from 31; 58%) than inpatient with benign diseases (11 from 75; 15%) with p-value less than 0.001. The rate of nutritional assessment by their responsible physicians (Benign 14 from 75; 19% vs. Malignant 24 from 31; 77%; p < 0.001) and severe malnutrition patients that had not been assessed by their responsible physicians (Benign 9 from 11; 82% vs. Malignant 2 from 18; 11%; p < 0.001) were significantly different. After adjusting for other confounding factors, malnutrition was significantly associated with postoperative complications with odds ratio of 3 and 95% CI of 1.1, and 8.4.
Conclusion: Malnutrition is common in abdominal-surgical patients. Routine preoperative nutritional assessment in this type of patients is recommended.

A predictive clinical-radiomics nomogram for early diagnosis of mesenteric arterial embolism based on non-contrast CT and biomarkers.
Abdom Radiol (NY)

Department of Radiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, China.
Purpose: Mesenteric artery embolism (MAE) is a relatively uncommon abdominal surgical emergency, but it can lead to catastrophic clinical outcomes if the diagnosis is delayed. This study aims to build a prediction model of clinical-radiomics nomogram for early diagnosis of MAE based on non-contrast computed tomography (CT) and biomarkers.
Method: In this retrospective study, a total of 364 patients confirmed as MAE (n = 131) or non-MAE (n = 233) who were randomly divided into a training cohort (70%) and a validation cohort (30%).
Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma with Medullary Features and a Complete Pathological Response After Neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX: A Case Report and Literature Review.
J Gastrointest Cancer

Department of Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology, Oncoclínicas, Florianópolis, SC, Brazil.
Purpose: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive malignancy with poor response to chemotherapy. High-frequency microsatellite instability (MSI-H) is a rare biological phenomenon in conventional PDAC, being more frequently described in tumors with medullary or mucinous features.
Methods And Results: In this manuscript, we report the case of a patient with an MSI-H pancreatic carcinoma with medullary features (medullary carcinoma of the pancreas-MCP) that achieved a complete pathological response after neoadjuvant modified FOLFIRINOX.
Construction and evaluation of the prediction model for advanced disease in well-differentiated colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasms less than 2 cm in diameter.

Objective: Advanced lesions are often ignored in well-differentiated colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) smaller than 2 cm, and we aimed to develop an effective nomogram for these lesions.
Methods: We extracted data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and used a logistic regression model to identify independent risk factors for advanced disease. All these identified factors were included to construct the prediction model, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration plot and DCA curve were utilized to assess the predictive value.
Complete Abdominal Evisceration After Open Hysterectomy: A Case Report and Evidence-Based Review.

Despite its low incidence, complete postoperative abdominal evisceration represents a complication requiring an urgent solution. We aimed to present a rare case of an abdominal evisceration of the omentum and small-bowel loops after a total abdominal hysterectomy and review the literature regarding this condition's diagnosis and therapeutic management. On the sixth postoperative day for a uterine fibroid, a 68-year-old patient presented with an abdominal evisceration of the omentum and small bowel that occurred two hours before.

In Japan, the hinotori™ surgical robot system (Medicaroid Corporation, Kobe, Japan) was approved for gastrointestinal surgeries in October 2022. This report details our initial experience performing liver resection using the hinotori™ system. Ten patients, who were assessed as cases that would benefit from the robot-assisted procedure, underwent liver resections using the hinotori™ system at Fujita Health University, Okazaki Medical Center, between August 2023 and October 2024.
