Background: Radical gastrectomy is generally prefered for gastric cancer but has postoperative complications. The objectives of the study are to evaluate the effectiveness of three different models of preoperative counseling and postoperative follow-up care in patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
Methods: In retrospective medical record analyses, patients received nurse-led preoperative counseling and postoperative follow-up care (NC cohort, = 105) or surgeon-led preoperative counseling and surgeon-led follow-up (SC cohort, = 140), or did not receive counseling and aftercare (RC cohort, = 160).
Results: Patients had a postoperative intensive care unit (PICU) stay of 24 (26-22) h/patient and postoperative pain of 6 (6-5)/ patient. The frequencies of nausea, vomiting, medical intensive care unit admission(s), dizziness, length of PICU stay, and intensity of postoperative pain were lower among patients in the NC cohort, followed by those in the SC and RC cohorts. A higher number of patients in the RC cohort died when compared to the NC (25 [16%) vs 2 [2%], = 0.0458) and the SC (25 [16%] vs 11 [8%], = 0.0001) cohorts in follow-up.
Conclusion: Patients who undergo radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer require healthcare professional-led preoperative counseling and postoperative aftercare. Nurse-led preoperative counseling and postoperative aftercare, could improve outcome measures in patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Multi-Institutional Analysis of Pancreatoduodenectomy for Nonfamilial Periampullary Adenoma: A Novel Risk Score to Guide Shared Decision-Making.

Introduction: Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) may occasionally be indicated for complete removal of periampullary (duodenal and ampullary) adenomas (PAs). As compared with malignant indications, PD for benign or pre-malignant disease is often associated with increased morbidity. While the Spigelman classification assesses malignancy risk for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP)-related duodenal adenomas, no malignancy risk score (MRS) exists for non-FAP related PAs.

Background: An increasingly large proportion of patients undergoing curative surgery for lung cancer, are octogenarians. We evaluated our short and long-term survival and adverse outcomes after oncological lung resections.
Methods: Octogenarians undergoing anatomical resection for confirmed or suspected lung cancer at a single-centre between January 2016 and December 2021 were included.
Lung resection and new postoperative home oxygen requirement: a systematic review.

Department of Surgery, University of Alabama Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA.
Background: While patients are assessed for their ability to tolerate surgery through physiologic evaluations such as pulmonary function tests, ventilation-perfusion scans, and exercising testing, some patients still require home oxygen therapy after pulmonary resection. It is not well understood what the associated risk factors are, how long patients need supplemental oxygen, and if this requirement is associated with worse long-term outcomes. Given these knowledge gaps, we sought to conduct a systematic review of pulmonary resections and new postoperative home oxygen requirement.

Background And Aims: Current prehabilitation programs are often limited by poor recruitment and attrition rates. Remote delivery of prehabilitation may reduce barriers to participation and maximize program retention. We aimed to assess the feasibility (uptake, retention, fidelity), preliminary effectiveness, and acceptability of delivering a technology-supported prehabilitation program remotely to oncologic surgical candidates.
