Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Effect of the World Health Organization checklist on patient outcomes: a stepped wedge cluster randomized controlled trial.
Implementing the WHO Safe Surgery Checklist may reduce morbidity, length of stay and mortality, although many questions remain.

Video-based peer feedback through social networking for robotic surgery simulation: a multicenter randomized controlled trial.
To examine the feasibility and outcomes of video-based peer feedback through social networking to facilitate robotic surgical skill acquisition. ⋯ Video-based peer feedback through social networking appears to be an effective paradigm for surgical education and accelerates the robotic surgery learning curve during simulation.

To review prospective randomized controlled trials to determine whether pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) or pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) is associated with lower risks of mortality and pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). ⋯ In PD, reconstruction by PG is associated with lower postoperative pancreatic and biliary fistula rates.

To systematically risk assess and analyze the escalation of care process in surgery so as to identify problems and provide recommendations for intervention. ⋯ Failures in the escalation process amenable to intervention were systematically identified. This mapping of the escalation process will allow tailored interventions to enhance surgical training and patient safety.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Chemotherapy or liver transplantation for nonresectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer?
The primary objective was to compare overall survival (OS) in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) with nonresectable liver-only metastases treated by liver transplantation or chemotherapy. ⋯ Compared with chemotherapy, liver transplantation resulted in a marked increased OS in CRC patients with nonresectable liver-only metastases.
