To provide a nationwide description of postoperative outcomes and analysis of prognostic factors following adrenalectomy for metastases. ⋯ The number of patients who can receive local treatment for adrenal metastases is rising, and adrenalectomy is more often minimally invasive and has a low morbidity rate. Subsequent research should evaluate which patients would benefit from adrenal surgery.

Artificial Intelligence to Predict the Risk of Lymph Node Metastasis in T2 Colorectal Cancer.
To develop and externally validate an updated artificial intelligence (AI) prediction system for stratifying the risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in T2 colorectal cancer (CRC). ⋯ Our AI model, based on easily accessible clinical and pathologic variables, moderately predicts LNM in T2 CRC. However, the risk of false negative needs to be considered. The training of the model including more patients across western and eastern centers - differentiating between colon and rectal cancers - may improve its performance and accuracy.

To determine the interobserver variability for complications of pancreatoduodenectomy as defined by the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) and others. ⋯ The interobserver variability for the ISGPS-defined complications of pancreatoduodenectomy was too high even though the "within centers" agreement was acceptable. Since these findings will decrease the quality and validity of clinical studies, ISGPS has started efforts aimed at reducing the interobserver variability.

Influence of Socioeconomic Deprivation on Surgical Outcomes for Patients With Sigmoid Diverticulitis in France: A Multicenter Retrospective Study.
To evaluate the relationship between socioeconomic deprivation and postoperative outcomes in patients who underwent colonic resection for sigmoid diverticulitis (SD). ⋯ This study highlights the potential influence of socioeconomic deprivation on the surgical outcomes of SD. Socioeconomic deprivation should be considered as a risk factor for severe postoperative complications during the preoperative assessment of the patient's medical conditions.

Reconstruction Techniques and Associated Morbidity in Minimally Invasive Gastrectomy for Cancer - Insights from the GastroBenchmark and GASTRODATA databases.
Various anastomotic and reconstruction techniques are used for minimally invasive total (miTG) and distal gastrectomy (miDG). Their effects on postoperative morbidity have not been extensively studied. ⋯ In oncologically suitable situations, miDG should be preferred to miTG, as postoperative morbidity is significantly lower. LS should be a preferred anastomotic technique for miTG in Western Centers. Conversely, bowel reconstruction in DG may be chosen according to the surgeon's preference.
