Summary: This study in Germany showed that gastric cancer patients who underwent surgery in hospitals with higher caseload had lower postoperative mortality rates and reduced failure to rescue rates for severe complications. High-volume hospitals demonstrated better outcomes for gastric cancer surgeries.

Summary: This study aims to explore the impact of annual hospital caseload of colon resection on the postoperative incidence of complications, failure to rescue, and mortality in patients with sigmoid diverticulitis. The study found that surgical treatment of sigmoid diverticulitis in high-volume colorectal centers can reduce postoperative mortality rates and incidence of complications.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of pancreatectomies performed in targeted hospitals participating in the pancreas procedure-targeted registry with those performed in standard hospitals. The results showed that pancreatectomies performed in targeted hospitals had lower mortality, morbidity, and failure-to-rescue rates compared to standard hospitals. Furthermore, participation in the targeted registry was associated with higher rates of optimal surgery for both types of pancreatectomies.

Summary: There is a small correlation between a hospital's ability to rescue patients from complications and the likelihood of home discharge after surgery, especially in orthopedic surgeries. Efforts to reduce mortality after complications are likely to help patients return home more frequently after complex surgery.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of center volume on outcomes and failure to rescue (FTR) in open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair (OAR). The results revealed that a higher center volume was strongly associated with reduced FTR risk, decreased complications, and less need for surgical adjuncts during OAR.

Summary: This study aimed to compare failure to rescue (FTR) after pancreatoduodenectomy between North America and Northern Europe. The results showed differences in complication rates and FTR between patients in North America and Northern Europe, with factors such as age and severity of systemic diseases contributing to FTR.

Summary: The study found that after intact AAA repair, cardiac and respiratory complications were most frequently reported, and patients treated in high volume centers had lower odds of FtR compared to low volume centers.

Summary: In this study, it was found that patients treated at high-volume hospitals had better outcomes compared to low-volume hospitals, including lower costs, reduced mortality, and lower readmission rates. Despite increased complexity, high-volume centers were associated with more successful operations, highlighting the importance of volume in improving patient outcomes.

Summary: Hospital volume has a positive impact on FTR in distal pancreatectomy (DP). High volume centers have significantly lower FTR rates compared to low volume centers. Patients at higher risk of FTR following DP are typically male, with high Charlson comorbidity index, malignant conditions, and undergoing open procedures.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the impact of hospital and surgeon volume on short-term outcomes of PD for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The findings suggest that hospital volume, rather than surgeon volume, is a more significant factor in predicting short-term outcomes.

Summary: There is significant variation in neonatal hospital mortality for high-risk diagnoses, and this variation appears to be associated with differences in failure to rescue (FTR) rather than hospital structural characteristics. Quality improvement interventions targeting early recognition and management of postoperative complications could improve surgical quality and safety for high-risk neonatal care.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the association between annual center volume and complications and failure to rescue (FtR) after endovascular and open repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA). The results showed that higher center volume was associated with a lower FtR risk after open repair, but not after endovascular repair. The type and frequency of complications predicted FtR after both procedures.

Summary: This study analyzed the relationship between septic shock case volume and hospital mortality in intensive care units in China in 2020. The findings suggest that higher case volumes are associated with lower hospital mortality in septic shock cases.

Summary: This study investigated the efficacy of using PTFE grafts during pancreatectomy for PV-SMV reconstruction. Results showed a 68% patency rate for PTFE grafts in these cases, with severe morbidity and mortality rates of 21% and 10% respectively. Patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy had a higher late thrombosis rate compared to those undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy.

Summary: Emergency completion pancreatectomy after pancreatoduodenectomy is a technically demanding procedure. The four-step standardized technique used in this study appears to be relatively safe and reproducible, especially for young surgeons. Intraoperative blood loss and operative duration were relatively low, with some patients experiencing mortality during the perioperative period.

Summary: The research found that performing MH with IVC resection on ICC patients did not significantly impact postoperative survival and recurrence rates, and did not increase the overall complication rate. However, patients who underwent IVC resection required more extensive hepatectomies and had higher rates of blood transfusions.

Summary: Parenchymal sparing duodenal and pancreatic resection are safe procedures aimed at reducing long-term endocrine and exocrine dysfunction, particularly for benign or borderline malignant tumors. This option is associated with low rates of severe surgery-related early postoperative complications and in-hospital mortality.

Summary: This study evaluated the resection margin status of patients with PDAC and DC using a standardized specimen protocol analysis. The R1 resection rate was comparable between the two groups, and venous groove was the most common type of resection margin. R1 resection margin did not influence patient survival in either group.
