Multicenter Study
Colonoscopic-Assisted Laparoscopic Wedge Resection for Colonic Lesions: A Prospective Multicentre Cohort Study (LIMERIC-Study).
The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a modified CAL-WR. ⋯ CAL-WR is an effective, organ-preserving approach that results in minor complications and circumvents the need for major surgery. CAL-WR, therefore, deserves consideration when endoscopic excision of circumscribed lesions is impossible or incomplete.

This study aimed to determine the relationship between early postoperative nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) administration and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and anastomotic leak. ⋯ Administration of NSAIDs in the early postoperative period is safe in selected patients following major gastrointestinal surgery.

Multicenter Study
Ten-year Evaluation of a Large Retrospective Cohort Treated by Sacral Nerve Modulation for Fecal Incontinence: Results of a French Multicenter Study.
The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of sacral nerve modulation (SNM) in a large cohort of patients implanted for at least 10 years, quantify adverse event rates, and identify predictive factors of long-term success. ⋯ Long-term efficacy was maintained in approximately half of the FI patients treated by SNM at least 10 years post-implantation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Robot-assisted Versus Conventional Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy for Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Early Results of a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial: the RAMIE Trial.
To compare perioperative and long-term outcomes of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) and conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) in the treatment for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). ⋯ Early results demonstrate that both RAMIE and MIE are safe and feasible for the treatment of ESCC. RAMIE can achieve shorter operative duration and better lymph node dissection in patients who received neoadjuvant therapy. Long-term results are pending for further follow-up investigations.

Multicenter Study
Associations Between Physical Activity and Changes in Weight Across 7 Years After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study.
To examine associations of objectively-measured physical activity (PA) with changes in weight after roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) over 7 years. ⋯ Reprints will not be available from the authors.
