TL;DR: SMA first is a safe technique that compares well with the uncinate first approach in terms of operative time, blood loss, number of lymph nodes retrieved, margin positivity and operative morbidity.

TL;DR: Evolution of practice and perioperative management of PD for pancreatic cancer at a tertiary cancer center in India improvedPerioperative outcomes and helped sustain the improvements despite increasing surgical volume, as well as reducing overall morbidity rates.

TL;DR: Perioperative outcomes of gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy for locally advanced, resectable gastric cancer were not influenced by Nact, and the number of lymph nodes harvested was unaltered by NACT but, more pertinently, metastases to lymph nodes were noted even in patients with a major pathological response of the primary tumor.

TL;DR: Findings support the prophylactic insertion of a single intra-abdominal drain following gastric and pancreatic resections as well as the use of one drain significantly reduced hospital stay.

TL;DR: Differing factors are associated with early versus late readmission after colorectal resection, suggesting that early readmission is intricately related to patient and operative complexity and hence may be inevitable, whereas delayed hospital presentation is associated with identifiable perioperative predictors at the time of discharge and hence more likely to be targetable.
