The aim of this study was to present the results of early experience of robot-assisted nipple sparing mastectomy (RANSM). ⋯ This was the first report of RANSM conducted in the KoREa-BSG. RANSM is technically feasible and acceptable with a short learning curve. Further prospective research to evaluate surgical and oncologic outcomes is needed.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Direct Oral Feeding After a Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy: A Single-Center Prospective Cohort Study.
The aim of this single-center cohort study was to compare direct oral feeding (DOF) to standard of care after a minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) performed in a center with a stable and acceptable postoperative complication rate. ⋯ Direct oral feeding following a MIE results in a faster time to functional recovery and lower 30-day postoperative complication rate compared to patients that were orally fasted.

The objective of this study was to examine early lung transplant outcomes following EVLP using a large national transplant registry. ⋯ In the largest national series of EVLP lung transplant recipients, EVLP is associated with early recipient outcomes comparable to that of non-EVLP recipients with similar baseline characteristics. Longer term follow-up data is needed to further assess the impact of EVLP on post-lung transplant outcomes.
