D3 dissection with or without left colic artery preservation showed similar anastomotic leak rates (7.9% vs. 7.1%) and comparable 5-year OS (90.1% vs. 89.3%) and RFS (77.6% and 77.3%) in rectal cancer surgery, indicating LCA preservation neither increases leaks nor worsens oncologic outcomes.

A new study introduces the stapler repair technique (SRT) for median incisional hernia, a straightforward laparoscopic Rives-Stoppa approach.🗡️
SRT proved to be safe and effective, with a surgical time comparable to IPOM and significantly shorter than TARM, while also being performed extraperitoneally with no major complications.⏰

These benchmarks for pelvic exenteration for rectal cancer can be used for future assessment of surgical quality and facilitate QI initiatives. https://t.co/Wa8PXhCexs
Robotic-assisted rectal cancer surgery is associated with superior short- and long-term outcomes, a large-scale study finds.📈
Compared to open and laparoscopic procedures, robot-assisted surgery had the lowest complication and mortality rates, the shortest hospital stays, and the highest 5-year overall survival and relapse-free survival.🇯🇵

A paper published in February in @CommsEng presents a method to optimally cook both the yolk and white of a boiled chicken egg. "Periodic cooking” yields an evenly-cooked egg. https://t.co/Vrhc7XgsB6
