Outcome after vacuum-assisted closure in patients with anorectal malformations—a multi-center comparative study
Purpose: In patients with anorectal malformations (ARM), perineal wound complications following posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) remain a challenge with an occurrence of 22%-43%. In adults, vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) aims to ...

Ischemic complications after preoperative arterial embolization in pancreatectomy with arterial resection: lessons learned from 14 years institutional experience with a narrative review
Background: Preoperative arterial embolization (PAE) of the celiac trunk or hepatic artery may promote recruitment of collateral circulation and thereby prevent hepatic ischemia during pancreatic surgery for locally advanced pancreatic c...

A DRG-based economic comparison of six topical hemostatic agents in thyroidectomy
Background: The economic sustainability of topical hemostatic agents in thyroidectomy under diagnosis-related group (DRG) reimbursement is unclear. Using a model-based micro-costing approach, this study quantified their impact on hospita...

Functional and clinical outcomes following antegrade intramedullary nailing of humeral shaft fractures with one versus two distal interlocking screws (HUMMER): a secondary analysis of a multicenter prospective cohort study
Background: The AO foundation recommends two interlocking screws at each side of a humeral shaft fracture for antegrade intramedullary nailing (IMN). This study aimed to compare functional and clinical outcomes for one versus two distal ...

Sensor-assisted firing execution (SAFE) cut: a quantitatively standardized technique for pancreatic transection in robotic distal pancreatectomy
Purpose: In robotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP), the lack of haptic feedback and delegation of stapler firing to the bedside assistant make compression quality during transection highly operator-dependent. We describe the “SAFE Cut” (Sen...

Ex-vivo right posterior sectionectomy for large-for-size mismatch in pediatric liver transplant recipients
Purpose: Large-for-size mismatch remains a major challenge in pediatric and small recipient liver transplantation, particularly when full-size deceased-donor grafts are allocated and conventional splitting is not feasible. Methods: We pe...
