Predictive value of total psoas muscle index for postoperative physical functional decline in older patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery
BackgroundOlder individuals increasingly require emergency abdominal surgeries. They are susceptible to surgical stress and loss of independence in...

Clinical utility of psoas muscle volume in assessment of sarcopenia in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer
PurposeSarcopenia influences postoperative outcomes of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Imaging tools for evaluating and diagnosing...

Is radiological psoas muscle area measurement a predictor of postoperative complications after rectal resection for rectal cancer? A retrospective study
PurposePrevious studies have reported that sarcopenia increases the risk of postoperative complications following colorectal resection. This...

Prognostic value of combined psoas muscle mass and controlling nutritional status in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: a retrospective cohort study
BackgroundPancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDAC) is an extremely poor prognostic disease. Even though multidisciplinary treatment for PDAC has developed,...

Relative dose intensity and 1-year psoas muscle index reduction rate as prognostic factors in gastric cancer patients with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy
BackgroundHigher relative dose intensity (RDI) of chemotherapy improves the clinical outcomes of various cancers. The psoas muscle index (PMI) is...

Laparoscopic liver resection is associated with less significant muscle loss than the conventional open approach
BackgroundLaparoscopic liver resections (LLR) have been shown a treatment approach comparable to open liver resections (OLR) in hepatocellular...

Six Surgical Stages in the Resection of Primary Right Retroperitoneal Liposarcoma: A Standardized Comprehensive Approach
BackgroundSurgery is the treatment mainstay in retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS), a frontline comprehensive approach based on tumor removal en bloc with...

Usefulness of the preoperative inflammation-based prognostic score and the ratio of visceral fat area to psoas muscle area on predicting survival for surgically resected adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction
BackgroundSarcopenic obesity is associated with gastrointestinal cancer prognosis through systemic inflammation. However, in patients with...

Low preoperative psoas muscle mass index is a risk factor for distal cholangiocarcinoma recurrence after pancreatoduodenectomy: a retrospective analysis
BackgroundThis study aimed to investigate whether preoperative muscle mass is associated with the recurrence of distal cholangiocarcinoma after...

CT psoas calculations on the prognosis prediction of emergency laparotomy: a single-center, retrospective cohort study in eastern Asian population
BackgroundEmergency laparotomy (EL) has a high mortality rate. Clinically, frail patients have a poor tolerance for EL. In recent years, sarcopenia...

Effectiveness of long-term tube feeding intervention in preventing skeletal muscle loss after minimally invasive esophagectomy
PurposeEsophageal cancer is a lethal tumor typically treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery. For patients undergoing esophagectomy,...

Prognostic impact of osteosarcopenia in patients undergoing pancreatic resection for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
BackgroundWe investigated the prognostic impact of osteosarcopenia, defined as the combination of osteopenia and sarcopenia, in patients undergoing...
-
Psoas attenuation and cross-sectional area improve performance of traditional sarcopenia measurements in predicting one-year mortality among elderly patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery: a pilot study of five computed tomography techniques
BackgroundRisk stratification is challenging in the growing population of geriatric patients requiring emergency surgery. Sarcopenia, which assesses...

Relationship between psoas muscle index and long-term survival in older patients aged ≥ 80 years after endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric cancer
BackgroundIn Japan, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been widely performed for ESD-adapted gastric cancer, but little is known about the...

Non-penetrating traumatic psoas muscle hematoma presenting with gross hematuria: a case report
Psoas muscle hematoma is defined as a spontaneous or traumatic retroperitoneal collection of blood involving the psoas muscle. Early symptoms of an...

CT-derived measures of muscle quantity and quality predict poorer outcomes from elective colorectal surgery: a UK multicentre retrospective cohort study
PurposeTo assess whether preoperative radiologically defined lean muscle measures are associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients...

Endoscopic anterior to psoas lumbar interbody fusion: indications, techniques, and clinical outcomes
PurposeThe retrospective study aimed to report the surgical technique and clinic-radiological outcomes of endoscopic anterior to psoas interbody...
