The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that bariatric surgery decreases the risk of esophageal and cardia adenocarcinoma. ⋯ Gastric bypass surgery may counteract the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma in morbidly obese individuals.

We aimed to determine the incidence of major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in elderly patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) and the impact of parathyroidectomy. ⋯ Older patients with pHPT have an increased risk of major cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events compared with patients without the disease. Physicians treating older patients with primary hyperparathyroidism should consider parathyroidectomy.R.M.P. and N.N. contributed equally to the preparation of this manuscript.

To compare the outcomes between robotic major hepatectomy (R-MH) and laparoscopic major hepatectomy (L-MH). ⋯ This international multicenter study demonstrated that R-MH was comparable to L-MH in safety and was associated with reduced blood loss, lower rates of Pringle maneuver application, and conversion to open surgery.

Multicenter Study
Safety and Efficacy of Iltamiocel Cellular Therapy for the Treatment of Fecal Incontinence. Results of a Phase 1/2 Study.
To examine the safety and efficacy of iltamiocel, an investigational cellular therapy of autologous muscle-derived cells, as a treatment for fecal incontinence (FI) in adults. ⋯ The administration of iltamiocel cellular therapy is safe. Iltamiocel shows promise for significantly improving fecal incontinence symptoms and quality of life.

Multicenter Study
Donor Safety and Risk Factors of Pure Laparoscopic Living Donor Right Hepatectomy: A Korean Multicenter Study.
The aim of this study was to identify safety and risk factors of living donor after pure laparoscopic donor right hepatectomy in a Korean multicenter cohort study. ⋯ Careful donor selection for PLRDH considering body mass index, graft weight, estimated blood loss, and operation time combined with skilled procedure can improve donor safety.
