Multicenter Study
Provider Perceptions Regarding Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Surgical Patients with Frailty.
To characterize the perceptions of surgeons, anesthesiologists, and geriatricians regarding perioperative cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in surgical patients with frailty. ⋯ Anesthesiologists, surgeons, and geriatricians offer different accounts of frailty's relevance to judgments regarding CPR in surgical patients. Divergent views regarding frailty and perioperative CPR may impede efforts to deliver goal-concordant care and suggest a need for research to inform risk stratification, predict patient-centered outcomes, and understand the role of potential biases, such as ageism and ableism.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of Clinical Outcomes and Postoperative Nutritional Status Between Early and Late Oral Feeding After Esophagectomy: An Open Labeled Randomized Controlled Trial.
To compare nutritional and postoperative outcomes between early oral feeding and late oral feeding with jejunostomy feeding support after esophagectomy. ⋯ The late group demonstrated prevention of significant body weight loss, enhanced nutritional intake, and reduced malnutrition without compromising short-term surgical outcomes.

Multicenter Study
Intestinal Autotransplantation for Locally Advanced or Locally Recurrent Colon Cancer Invading SMA.
To examine the outcomes of intestinal autotransplantation (IATx) in patients with locally advanced (LACC) or locally recurrent (LRCC) colon cancer invading the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). ⋯ Extended resection for LACC or LRCC invading SMA can be performed safely and is associated with prolonged survival.
