- Quality of life and gastric acid‐suppression medication 20 years after laparoscopic fundoplicationLaparoscopic fundoplication results in good long‐term control of reflux symptoms and health‐related quality‐of‐life. Only half of patients still using gastric acid‐suppression medication after 20 years have gastro‐oesophageal reflux disease symptoms. Abstract Background Laparoscopic fundoplication is an effective treatment for gastro‐oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). We aimed to assess quality of life (QoL), long‐term residual symptoms,
- Hawthorne effect on surgical studiesA systematic literature search was performed to determine if the Hawthorne effect had been recorded as a risk of bias in surgical studies. There is considerable between‐study heterogeneity on how the Hawthorne effect relates to surgical outcomes. Further consideration on reporting and considering the importance of the Hawthorne effect in the design of surgical trials is warranted. Abstract Background The Hawthorne effect or ‘observer eff
- Anatomic resection and wide resection margin play an important role in hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma with peritumoural micrometastasisImprovement of surgical techniques, such as anatomic hepatectomy and wide resection margin, will prolong survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, via promoting eradication of peritumoural metastasis. Tumor characteristics and malignancy still determine the surgical outcome of those patients. Abstract Background Anatomic hepatectomy and wide resection margin may improve surgical outcome of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma
- Risk factors for periprosthetic femoral fractures around total hip arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta‐analysisPeriprosthetic fractures around total hip arthroplasty are increasing. Our systematic review and meta‐analysis demonstrates patients are three times more likely to sustain periprosthetic fractures after revision hip arthroplasty compared to primary hip arthroplasty, in both males and females. Abstract Background Periprosthetic fractures are becoming increasingly common, often leading to poor patient outcomes. The aim of this study was to
- Prostate‐specific membrane antigen for the surgical oncologist: interpreting expression beyond the prostateAbstract The use of prostate‐specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radiotracer in positron emission tomography (PET) has been successfully incorporated into the clinical management of prostate cancer. However, PSMA tracer uptake is not limited to prostate cancer tissue. We reviewed studies exploring PSMA expression beyond the prostate gland using techniques of 68Ga‐PSMA PET imaging and immunohistochemistry. PSMA expression has been associated with a
