Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Robotic versus Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair: One-year Results from a Prospective, Multicenter, Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial.
The aim of this study was to compare clinical and patient-reported outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) at 1-year postoperative. ⋯ This study confirms that robotic ventral hernia repair is safe when compared to laparoscopy. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Multicenter Study
The Impact of Complications and Pain on Patient Satisfaction.
To measure the association between patient-reported satisfaction and regret and clinical outcomes. ⋯ Patients who experienced postoperative complications and pain were less likely to be highly satisfied or have no regret. Notably, postoperative pain had a more significant effect on satisfaction and regret after surgery, suggesting focused postsurgical pain management is an opportunity to substantially improve patient experiences. More research and patient education are needed for managing expectations of postoperative pain, and use of adjuncts and regional anesthesia.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Preoperative Hepatic and Regional Arterial Chemotherapy in Patients Who Underwent Curative Colorectal Cancer Resection: A Prospective, Multi-Center, Randomized Controlled Trial.
To evaluate the effects of the addition of preoperative hepatic and regional arterial chemotherapy (PHRAC) on prognosis of stage II and III colorectal cancer (CRC) in a multicenter setting. ⋯ The addition of PHRAC could improve DFS in patients with stage II and III CRC. It reduced the incidence of LM and improved OS without compromising patient safety.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Long-term Outcomes of a Randomized Controlled Trial of Single-incision Versus Multi-port Laparoscopic Colectomy for Colon Cancer.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes that were the secondary endpoints of a RCT of multi-port laparoscopic colectomy (MPC) versus SILC in colon cancer surgery. ⋯ Even though the results of the 5-year OS and RFS in this trial were exploratory and underpowered, there were no statistically significant differences between the SILC and MPC arms. SILC may be an acceptable treatment option for select patients with colon cancer.
