The GAMMA concept (gastrointestinal activity manipulation to modulate appetite) preliminary proofs of the concept of local vibrational gastric mechanical stimulation
Mechanical stimulation of the stretch receptors of the gastric wall can simulate the presence of indigested food leading to reduced food intake. We report the preliminary experimental results of an innovative ...

Prognostic Prediction Models for Resection of Large Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Korean Multicenter Study
We developed a prognostic prediction model (PPM) using 4 factors for hepatic resection (HR) of large hepatic cellular carcinoma (HCC). Multiplication of α-fetoprotein (AFP), des-γ-carboxy prothrombin, and tumo...

Impact of valve-less vs. standard insufflation on pneumoperitoneum volume, inflammation, and peritoneal physiology in a laparoscopic sigmoid resection experimental model
Standard insufflators compensate for intra-abdominal pressure variations with pressure spikes. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of a stable, low-pressure pneumoperitoneum induced by a valve-less insufflator,...

Article
Novel method for hybrid endo-laparoscopic full-thickness gastric resection using laparoscopic transgastric suture passer device
Current surgical methods for partial gastric full-thickness resections (FTRs) are limited by long operative times and risk of gastric content spillage, especially for lesions located at the posterior wall. We ...
