Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Prospective randomized clinical trial of a change in gastric emptying and nutritional status after a pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy: comparison between an antecolic and a vertical retrocolic duodenojejunostomy.
Although an antecolic duodenojejunostomy was reported to reduce post-operative delayed gastric emptying (DGE) compared with a retrocolic duodenojejunostomy after a pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD), the long-term effects of these procedures have rarely been studied. The aim of this prospective, randomized, clinical trial was to investigate the influence of the reconstruction route on post-operative gastric emptying and nutrition. ⋯ A vertical retrocolic duodenojejunostomy was an acceptable procedure for the lower incidence of DGE and may contribute to better weight gain affected by moderate gastric emptying.

Multicenter Study
Impact of peri-operative bevacizumab on survival in patients with resected colorectal liver metastases: an analysis of the LiverMetSurvey.
Peri-operative chemotherapy is recommended for the management of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). The aim of this study was to examine the impact of peri-operative bevacizumab on survival in patients with resected CRLM. ⋯ The addition of bevacizumab to standard peri-operative chemotherapy does not appear to be associated with improved OS or DFS in patients with resected CRLM.
