Concise stakeholder-informed tool for reporting modifications to innovative surgical procedures and devices: Surgical ModificAtion Reporting Tool (SMART) checklist
➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znag117
SMART is a concise, stakeholder-informed prepublication tool to guide prospective tracking and consistent reporting of modifications to innovative invasive procedures and devices
Used alongside the IDEAL framework, it has the potential to improve the quality and interpretability of surgical innovation research

Impact of indocyanine green on nodal dissection and staging for gastric cancer surgery: iGreenGO prospective multicentre study
➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znag116
Although ICG frequently led to additional dissection of nodal stations after standard white-light D2 lymphadenectomy, it rarely resulted in stage migration
Use of ICG fluorescence to optimize lymph node dissection likely does not have a clinically relevant benefit in Western patients with gastric cancer

You’ve just told a patient they need surgery. How much of the conversation will they actually remember?
Often, not nearly enough.
A simple Question Prompt List could help change that.
The POWER form improved patient recall by 56%, supported shared decision-making and reduced decisional conflict — without making clinic appointments longer.
Simple. Low-cost. Practical.

🦅Have you watched the video yet?
EAGLE-2 (published in @bjsurgery) tested safe-anastomosis training in real-world practice across 60 countries.
The result? Training was associated with:
✔️ Fewer anastomotic leaks
✔️ Fewer reoperations
✔️ Fewer readmissions
And importantly, benefits appeared to persist even when some surgeons had completed the training two years earlier.
🎥 Watch Professor Dion Morton and Elizabeth Li discuss the study and the potential for scalable digital education to improve colorectal surgery worldwide:

Standard reporting on duodenal stump leakage after gastric cancer resections: multicentre analysis from the GASTRODATA Study Group (the STARDUST study)
➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znag105
Postoperative DSL was uncommon (2.6%), but it was associated with a 90-day mortality rate of 17.2%, which varied according to the severity of the clinical presentation and the invasiveness of the treatment
Preoperative weight loss, unreinforced duodenal stump, Billroth II reconstruction, and postoperative blood transfusion were prognostic factors associated with complication occurrence.

🏥 Preoperative low-energy diets for patients with a body mass index> 30 kg/m2 undergoing non-bariatric surgery: pilot feasibility randomized clinical trial and a systematic review and meta-analysis of efficacy data
Of 91 randomized patients, 81.7 per cent adhered to the 3-week intervention, and those in the low-energy diet group lost more weight (mean difference 4.5 kg, 95 per cent confidence interval -5.6 to -3.5). Meta-analysis of 5 RCTs demonstrated a non-significant 19 per cent relative risk reduction in postoperative morbidity favouring the intervention (relative risk 0.81, 0.52 to 1.26, P=0.351).
💬Pre-operative low-energy diet: promising on the scale, feasibility and morbidity benefit remain unknown. - @GormsenJohanne

A randomized controlled trial comparing non-selective versus selective TIRADS-based cytology in thyroid cancer diagnostics
➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znag076
This randomized controlled trial supports the use of EU-TIRADS to correctly select neoplastic nodules for FNA without missing thyroid cancer. The proportion of patients where FNA can be safely omitted using EU-TIRADS may however be exaggerated, indicating a need for further refinement of risk stratification systems for thyroid cancer diagnostics.
