To describe the worldwide experience with living donation (LD) in intestinal transplantation (ITx) and compare short-term and long-term outcomes to a propensity-matched cohort of deceased donors. ⋯ Worldwide, LD-ITx has been rarely performed. This retrospective matched ITR analysis revealed no difference in rejection and in patient/graft survival between LD and DD-ITx.

Describe the diagnostic workup and postoperative results for patients treated by adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism in France from 2010 to 2020. ⋯ These results call for an improvement in thorough preoperative workup and long-term follow-up of patients (clinical and biological) to early manage hypertension and/or PA relapse.
-
To assess how liver allografts preserved using portable normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) compare against those that underwent ischemic cold storage (ICS) in the setting of donation after brain death (DBD) and donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplantation (LT). ⋯ Compared with conventional ICS, NMP can significantly reduce the incidence of EAD, RPS, and IC after DCD LT.

We aimed to determine whether surgeon variation in management of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) is driven by differences in risk perception and quantify surgeons' risk threshold for changing their recommendations. ⋯ The treatment that patients receive for IPMNs depends greatly on how their surgeons perceive the risk of cancer in the lesion. Efforts to improve cancer risk prediction for IPMNs may lead to decreased variations in care.

To assess the relevance of concomitant laparoscopic metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) and cholecystectomy. ⋯ CC during SG and GBP should be avoided. In the case of asymptomatic gallstones after MBS, prophylactic cholecystectomy should not be recommended.
