In this systematic review, the predictive accuracy of surgeon gestalt for adverse postoperative events is explored
Surgeons consistently overestimate mortality risk, but have good overall predictive accuracy
Surgeon intuition is generally outperformed by systematic scoring tools

The role of prophylactic closed incision negative-pressure therapy (ciNPT) in patients undergoing open incisional hernia repair is uncertain
This randomized trial showed that, compared with a standard wound dressing, ciNPT did not reduce the incidence of surgical-site infection 30 days after surgery

However, the relative impact of each factor has remained unclear. In an analysis of six key MBS outcomes among 30 610 patients, hospital-level factors accounted for the largest share of the explained variance across all outcomes, followed by surgeon-level and then patient-level factors

💪 Mortality ↓52% (HR 0.48) and major adverse kidney events ↓53% (HR 0.47) after median 7.7 years.
👩⚕️ Benefits strongest in women, >55 yrs, BMI >40 kg/m² — supporting MBS as a powerful option in high-risk CKD.

The difference in LRR between TNT and CRT mainly occurred in patients treated with sphincter-preserving surgery
Baseline information on the original tumour bed should be considered when determining the surgical approach after total neoadjuvant treatment

🔎 Findings: Complications ❌ did not increase recurrence risk
⚠️ But linked to higher mortality, especially in women with type 2 diabetes
✅ Conclusion: Surgical complications affect survival, not recurrence

Gastric per-oral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) showed the most substantial short-term symptom improvement, whereas gastric electrical stimulation (GES) was most effective at intermediate follow-up and was the only modality superior to placebo in sham-controlled trials

Population-based cohort study of >117k screened men shows AAA prevalence has halved since 2010, while small aortas have slightly increased
Men with small or aneurysmal aortas had 1.5–2.5× higher 5-year mortality
Smoking cessation delayed surgery and improved survival
