Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Single-incision Laparoscopy Versus Multiport Laparoscopy for Colonic Surgery: A Multicenter, Double-blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial.
To compare outcome of single-port laparoscopy (SPL) and multiport laparoscopy (MPL) laparoscopy for colonic surgery. ⋯ SPL colectomy does not confer any additional benefit other than cosmetic result, as compared to MPL.

Half of Postoperative Deaths After Hepatectomy may be Preventable: A Root-cause Analysis of a Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study.
To perform a retrospective root-cause analysis of the causes of postoperative mortality after hepatectomy. ⋯ Measures to ensure compliance with guidelines and (in the event of unexpected operative findings) better within-team communication should be implemented systematically.

Multicenter Study
Preoperative Biliary Stenting and Major Morbidity After Pancreatoduodenectomy: Does Elapsed Time Matter?: The FRAGERITA Study Group.
To analyze possible associations between the duration of stent placement before surgery and the occurrence and severity of postoperative complications after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). ⋯ When jaundice treatment cannot be avoided, delaying surgery up to 1 month after biliary stenting may reduce major morbidity, procedure-related complications, and length of hospital stay.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Cost-effectiveness of Randomized Study of Laparoscopic Versus Open Bilateral Inguinal Hernia Repair.
The aim of this study is to compare the clinical and cost-effective outcomes of the open Lichtenstein repair (OL) and laparoscopic trans-abdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair for bilateral inguinal hernias. ⋯ The TAPP procedure for bilateral inguinal hernia appears to be more cost-effective compared with OL.
