Frequency of abdominal wall hernias: is classical teaching out of date?
TL;DR: The epidemiology of hernia repair (retrospective review) over 30 years is investigated to determine whether the relative frequencies of hernias are evolving and contrasts with hernia incidence figures quoted in common reference books.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Pancreas
TL;DR: Although tumor origin and molecular pathogenesis remain poorly understood, recently established grading and staging systems facilitate patient risk stratification, and thereby directly impact clinical decision making, surgery remains the only curative treatment for early-stage disease.

Dissertation
Surgical gloves and instruments: Potential vectors of cancer cell seeding
TL;DR: It is suggested that specific protective strategies may not be warranted in curative resections of cancer resections due to the high incidence of port-site metastasis in gallbladder cancer and the lack of consensus on whether specific intraoperative protective strategies are warranted.
