Summary: This article reports a case of using an endoscopic vascular linear stapler for side-to-side caval anastomosis during liver transplantation. The stapler shortened the anastomosis time and resulted in a successful recovery for the patient.

Summary: This study compared the early healing of end-to-end small bowel anastomosis using self-forming magnets and surgical stapling. The self-forming magnet group showed superior histologic healing metrics, including decreased inflammation and bacterial infiltration, early neovascularization, and faster re-epithelization. Self-forming magnets provide early seal generation through mechanical compression, promoting better healing outcomes.

Summary: This study validates the effectiveness of an anastomotic grading score for colorectal surgery and suggests that its implementation can reduce the occurrence of anastomotic leaks.

Summary: This study reports on the largest cohort of robotic left total intracorporeal anastomosis (TICA) cases, provides a technical description and compares outcomes with robotic left partial extracorporeal anastomosis (PECA). The results show that TICA is associated with significantly shorter operative time.

Summary: Robotic right hemicolectomy is a popular surgical procedure with recognized benefits. This study compared the short-term clinical outcomes of stapled and handsewn intracorporeal anastomosis (ICA) in this type of surgery. Results showed that both techniques had similar clinical outcomes.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of ESA, SSA, and HSA for ileocolic anastomosis and found that ESA had the lowest leak rate without increasing the risk of anastomotic bleeding. Both stapled techniques were associated with a shorter return to gut function compared to HSA.

Summary: This study investigated the quantitative analysis of anastomotic ring morphology as an early prognostic marker and compared it to established inflammatory markers. The results indicated that the minimal height of the anastomotic rings can serve as a good predictor of anastomotic leakage, while the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) at postoperative day 5 was superior to C-reactive protein (CRP) in predicting anastomotic leakage.

Summary: In recent years, robotic surgery has been widely used in the treatment of esophageal cancer. This study reports a fully robotic technique of side-to-side stapled anastomosis, which showed high technical success and minimal incidence of anastomosis-related morbidity.

Summary: This study compares the outcomes of hand-sewn end-to-end anastomoses with stapled side-to-side and stapled end-to-side anastomoses in emergency small bowel resection for acute mesenteric ischemia secondary to intestinal obstruction. The study found that there were no significant differences in anastomosis failure rate or hospital stay between the three groups. However, the operating time was significantly higher in patients undergoing hand-sewn anastomoses compared to stapled anastomoses.

Summary: The study found that early endoscopy after admission for acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding was associated with better outcomes compared to urgent or late endoscopy, especially in patients with non-variceal bleeding. This suggests that patients with non-variceal AUGIB should receive endoscopy within 24 hours, while also highlighting the importance of prior resuscitation and pharmacotherapy.

Summary: The study indicates that in children, stapled anastomosis (SA) is as safe and effective as hand-sewn anastomosis (HA), with shorter operative time in children under 1 year old. Despite insufficient evidence, SA could be considered as an option for intestinal anastomosis in children.

Summary: This study used early endoscopic assessment and a novel endoscopy score system to predict anastomotic complications after esophagectomy, with the results showing that the combined endoscopy score was the only predictor and an accurate tool for predicting anastomotic complications.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes of marginal ulcer bleeding (MUB) with peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB). The results showed that MUB had a higher rebleeding rate and a higher mortality rate compared to PUB. Prophylactic use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may reduce the risk of rebleeding in MUB.

Summary: This review compares hand-sewn and mechanical anastomosis and evaluates their surgical outcomes in total gastrectomy. The results indicate that both methods have similar surgical outcomes, but stapled anastomosis has a shorter operation time.

Summary: This study presents the technical aspects and initial results of robotic Ivor Lewis esophagectomy using two purse-string sutures for circular-stapled anastomosis. The use of two purse-string sutures is essential for securing a tight seal of the esophageal tissue around the anvil, ensuring the safety of circular-stapled anastomosis during the surgery.
