While open esophagectomy (OE) has long been the standard, minimally invasive techniques—including robotic-assisted (RAMIE) and laparoscopic (MIE) approaches—are rapidly reshaping surgical practice.

A new national analysis, “National trends in operative approach to esophagectomy: utilization rates, outcomes, and overall survival”, published in Surgical Endoscopy, explores these shifts in detail.

🔍 Study insights:
Rapid adoption of RAMIE and MIE across the surgical community
Comparable or improved short- and long-term outcomes vs. open surgery
No compromise in survival, highlighting the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive techniques

This study underscores a major evolution in upper GI surgical practice—where innovation and evidence combine to improve patient outcomes.

Treating severe obesity (BMI > 50 kg/m²) continues to challenge bariatric teams. The integration of anti-obesity medications (AOMs)—particularly GLP-1 receptor agonists—is reshaping the preoperative landscape.

🔬 A recent study, “Bariatric outcomes of high BMI patients with preoperative anti-obesity medications”, published in Surgical Endoscopy, evaluates the perioperative outcomes and efficacy of AOMs used for prehabilitation and preoperative weight loss in patients with severe obesity.

📈 Key findings:
* GLP-1 therapies achieved the greatest preoperative weight loss and largest BMI reduction compared to other strategies.
* Preoperative GLP-1 use in high-risk, high-BMI patients can optimize surgical readiness and improve perioperative outcomes.
* Further research is needed to refine treatment duration, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness before and after metabolic surgery.

🧠 This study supports a multimodal approach—combining pharmacotherapy with surgery—to maximize success in complex obesity cases.

With life expectancy on the rise, more elderly patients are being considered for complex liver resections due to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Traditionally, major hepatectomy has not been widely offered to this group, given the high burden of comorbidities and limited supporting evidence.

A new multicentric propensity score–based analysis published in*Surgical Endoscopy addresses this gap:
“Laparoscopic major hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma in elderly patients: a multicentric propensity score-based analysis”
👉 Read the article: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00464-020-07843-7

📌 Key findings:
* Laparoscopic major hepatectomy (LMH) was compared with open major hepatectomy (OMH) in patients ≥70 years.
* LMH showed comparable short-term outcomes to OMH.
* LMH is safe and feasible for elderly patients with HCC.

This study expands the evidence base for minimally invasive liver surgery in an aging patient population, highlighting LMH as a valuable option for selected elderly patients.
