Indocyanine green-assisted lymphography for intraoperative chyle leak prevention during esophageal cancer surgery: a systematic review of the literature

Quick Take: ICG-fluorescence lymphography transforms the "blind" management of the thoracic duct into a high-definition, real-time visual roadmap, significantly curbing post-esophagectomy chyle leaks. 💡 Clinical Impact * Mechanistic Why: The thoracic duct and its tributaries are often thin-walled, translucent, and anatomically variable, making them nearly invisible in a blood-stained surgical

Comparison of endoscopic mucosal resection combined with band ligation versus endoscopic submucosal dissection for small rectal neuroendocrine tumors (≤ 10 mm): a systematic review and meta-analysis.

OUTPUT STRUCTURE: Quick Take: For small rectal neuroendocrine tumors (≤ 10 mm), endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) appears to offer higher complete resection rates than endoscopic mucosal resection with band ligation (EMR-L). 💡 Clinical Impact * A higher complete resection rate could reduce local recurrence risk for patients with small rectal NETs, potentially improving
