The aim of this study was to develop a computer vision platform to automatically locate critical events in surgical videos and provide short video clips documenting the critical view of safety (CVS) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). ⋯ Deep learning models for workflow analysis can be used to reliably locate critical events in surgical videos and document CVS in LC. Further studies are needed to assess the clinical impact of surgical data science solutions for safer laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

The aim of this study was to evaluate how often left-sided portal hypertension (LPH) develops and how LPH affects the long-term outcomes of patients with pancreatic cancer treated with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and resection of the portal vein (PV)/superior mesenteric vein (SMV) confluence. ⋯ PD with SV division causes variceal formation, bleeding, and thrombocytopenia.

The primary aim was to create a patient-centered definition of core symptoms that should be included in future studies of pouch function. ⋯ This study is the first to identify key functional outcomes after pouch surgery with direct input from a large panel of ileoanal pouch patients. The inclusion of patients in all stages of the consensus process allowed for a true patient-centered approach in defining the core domains that should be focused on in future studies of pouch function.

To determine the optimal timing of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) repair after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulation. ⋯ The approach of early repair after ECMO cannulation is associated with improved survival compared to delayed surgical correction.
