Multicenter Study
Minimally invasive liver resection for metastatic colorectal cancer: a multi-institutional, international report of safety, feasibility, and early outcomes.
To evaluate a multicenter, international series on minimally invasive liver resection for colorectal carcinoma (CRC) metastasis. ⋯ Minimally invasive liver resection for colorectal metastasis is safe, feasible, and oncologically comparable to open liver resection for both minor and major liver resections, even with prior intra-abdominal operations, in selected patients and when performed by experienced surgeons.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Ten-year outcome of laparoscopic and conventional nissen fundoplication: randomized clinical trial.
To compare 10 years outcome of a multicenter randomized controlled trial on laparoscopic (LNF) and conventional Nissen fundoplication (CNF), with focus on effectiveness and reoperation rate. ⋯ CNF carries a higher risk for surgical reintervention compared with LNF, mainly due to incisional hernia corrections. The 10-year effectiveness of LNF and CNF is comparable in terms of improvement of GERD symptoms, PPI use, quality of life, and objective reflux control. Consequently, the long-term results from this trial lend level 1 support to the use of LNF as the surgical procedure of choice for GERD.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Perioperative intravenous glutamine supplemetation in major abdominal surgery for cancer: a randomized multicenter trial.
To investigate whether perioperative intravenous glutamine supplementation may affect surgical morbidity. ⋯ Perioperative glutamine does not affect outcome in well-nourished GI cancer patients.
