Randomized Controlled Trial
The RESTORE Randomized Controlled Trial: Impact of a Multidisciplinary Rehabilitative Program on Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Esophagogastric cancer Survivorship.
The Rehabilitation Strategies in Esophagogastric cancer (RESTORE) randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of a 12-week multidisciplinary program to increase the cardiorespiratory fitness and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of esophagogastric cancer survivors. ⋯ NCT03314311.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Effectiveness of Fibrin Sealant Application on the Development of Staple Line Complications After Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Prospective Randomized Trial.
Evaluate the effectiveness of the use of fibrin sealant (FS) for preventing the development of staple line complications (SLCs) after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). ⋯ The incidence of postoperative SLCs did not appear to depend on the presence or absence of FS.

To identify the impact of hospital volume according to Charlson Comorbidity Index (ChCI) on postoperative mortality (POM) after rectal cancer surgery. ⋯ The POM after proctectomy for rectal cancer is strongly associated with hospital volume independent of patients' comorbidities. To improve postoperative outcomes, rectal surgery should be centralized.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Quadratus Lumborum Block Versus Perioperative Intravenous Lidocaine for Postoperative Pain Control in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-blind Controlled Clinical Trial.
To investigate the comparative analgesic efficacy of systemic lidocaine and quadratus lumborum (QL) block in laparoscopic colorectal surgery. ⋯ In our trial, the QL-block did not provide superior postoperative analgesia when compared to systemic lidocaine in laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Multicenter Study
The Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI®) is a Novel Cost Assessment Tool for Surgical Procedures.
The aim of this study was to identify a readily available, reproducible, and internationally applicable cost assessment tool for surgical procedures. ⋯ Overall postoperative morbidity correlates highly with cost. The CCI together with the type of surgery and patient age is a novel and reliable predictor of expenses in surgical patients. This finding may enable objective cost comparisons among centers, procedures, or over time obviating the need to look at complex country-specific cost calculations (www.assessurgery.com).
