Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
A Preventive Program for Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders Among Surgeons: Outcomes of a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.
To evaluate the effectiveness of a program to reduce work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD) among surgeons. ⋯ This study demonstrated the effectiveness of a global program based on the application of ergonomics in the operating room and specific physical exercises.

Randomized Controlled Trial
A Statistical Model-driven Surgical Case Scheduling System Improves Multiple Measures of Operative Suite Efficiency: Findings From a Single-center, Randomized Controlled Trial.
We sought to determine whether a data-driven scheduling approach improves Operative Suite (OS) efficiency. ⋯ Compared to the HM scheduling approach, the proposed data-driven RM scheduling methodology improves multiple measures of OS efficiency and OS personnel satisfaction without adversely affecting clinical outcomes.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Intracorporeal or Extracorporeal Ileocolic Anastomosis After Laparoscopic Right Colectomy: A Double-blinded Randomized Controlled Trial.
The aim of the study was to determine whether there are clinically relevant differences in outcomes between laparoscopic right colectomy (LRC) with intracorporeal ileocolic anastomosis (IIA) and LRC with extracorporeal IA (EIA). ⋯ LRC with IIA is associated with earlier recovery of postoperative bowel function than LRC with EIA; however, it does not reflect into a shorter LOS.

Total Versus Near-total Thyroidectomy in Graves Disease: Results of the Randomized Controlled Multicenter TONIG-trial.
Previous data suggest that the incidence of hypoparathyroidism after surgery for Graves disease (GD) is lower after subtotal thyroidectomy compared to total thyroidectomy (TT). The present study evaluated the incidence of postoperative hypoparathyroidism after near-total (NTT) versus TT in GD. ⋯ NTT for GD is not superior to TT regarding transient postoperative hypoparathyroidism.

Does A Longer Waiting Period After Neoadjuvant Radio-chemotherapy Improve the Oncological Prognosis of Rectal Cancer?: Three Years' Follow-up Results of the Greccar-6 Randomized Multicenter Trial.
The aim of this study was to report the 3-year survival results of the GRECCAR-6 trial. ⋯ Extending the waiting period by 4 weeks following RCT has no influence on the oncological outcomes of T3/T4 rectal cancers.
