Article Abstract
Objective: This study was to compare the 5-year survival rate, the surgical resection rate, the post-operative complications and mortality of patients who underwent surgical resection for carcinoma of esophagus with or without neoadjuvant chemotherapy. To evaluate neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of esophageal carcinoma.
Methods: Forty-two patients with locally advanced esophageal carcinoma undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgical resection (CS group), and 75 patients with the same phase undergoing surgical resection alone (S group) from August 2003 to March 2009 in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were reviewed. The 5-year survival rate, the surgical resection rate, the post-operative complications and mortality between the two groups were analyzed.
Results: Forty-two patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the complete response rate was 11.9%, the partial response was 47.6%, the total clinical response rate was 59.5%. The surgical resection rate of CS group and S group were 100% and 89.5% (P = 0.029). There was no statistically difference in the post-operative complications and mortality between two groups. The overall 5-year survival for CS group and S group were 31.7% and 26.4%, respectively (P = 0.266). In the subgroup analysis, the 5-year survival of patients with clinical response was significant higher than S group (P = 0.010).
Conclusions: The neoadjuvant chemotherapy can improve surgical resection rate and long-term survival of esophageal carcinoma patients with clinical response without increasing the post-operative complications and mortality.

Community-level social capital and postoperative outcomes following intracranial tumor surgery: an exploration of the Social Capital Atlas in neurosurgical oncology.

Department of Neurosurgery, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Background And Objectives: Explore whether community social capital measures (system of resources available to individuals through community engagement) are related to surgical outcomes among intracranial tumor patients.
Methods: Adults who underwent resection at a single medical center for intracranial tumor was identified and their zip codes were matched to three variables derived from the Social Capital Atlas: economic connectedness, volunteering rate, and civic organizations. The economic connectedness score quantifies the degree to which low-income and high-income community members are friends with each other, the volunteering rate is defined as the proportion of a given community engaged in community organizations and the civic organization score is defined as the number of local civic organizations within a given community.
Role of patient frailty in resection of newly diagnosed motor eloquent glioblastomas guided by a navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation and tractography approach.

Department of Neurosurgery, Paracelsus Medical University, Breslauer Straße 201, 90471, Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany.
Purpose: Resection of glioblastomas infiltrating the motor cortex and corticospinal tract (CST) is often linked to increased perioperative morbidity. Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) motor mapping has been advocated to increase patient safety in these cases. The additional impact of patient frailty on overall outcome after resection of cases with increased risk for postoperative motor deficits as identified with nTMS needs to be investigated.

Awake craniotomy is the gold standard to achieve maximal safe resection of brain lesions located within eloquent areas. There are no established guidelines to assess patient's eligibility for awake craniotomy by weight class. This study assesses feasibility, safety, and efficacy of awake surgery by weight classes through an observational, retrospective, single-institution cohort analysis (2010-2024) of 526 awake craniotomies.

Background: Spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy by robotic surgery is a safe and feasible surgical technique. Currently, spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy represents an alternative to the classical distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, in the case of benign and low-grade malignant diseases of the body or pancreas tail. The reasons for preserving the spleen are based on the reduction of postoperative complications, such as post-splenectomy infections, subphrenic abscess, portal thrombosis, pulmonary hypertension, thrombocytosis, and thromboembolism.

Purpose: Liver metastases from colorectal cancer (CRLM) are a major determinant of the prognosis of metastatic colorectal cancer. Although curative resection is recommended for resectable CRLM, recurrence remains a challenge and the criteria for patient selection and repeat resection are still unclear. We conducted this study to evaluate the outcomes of metastatic lesion resection with curative intent (R0 resection), to identify the factors associated with recurrence, and to establish the feasibility of repeat metastasectomy.
