Inside the Editor’s Mind: What It Takes to Publish 📝

⁠ In the latest episode of Inside Surgery, host Dr. Alice Tsai goes behind the scenes of our journal, Surgical Endoscopy. She is joined by two esteemed Section Editors: Professor Young-Woo Kim (National Cancer Center Korea) and Professor Dr. Nicolo de Manzini (University of Trieste).⁠ ⁠

Together, they pull back the curtain on the editorial process, discussing their roles as the crucial "first filter" for manuscript submissions and what it truly takes to get your research published.⁠ ⁠

Key highlights include:⁠ ⁠

- The Gatekeepers of Quality: How Section Editors protect reviewers' time by ensuring only papers with clear value, relevance, and high quality move forward to peer review.⁠

- Scientific Rigour & Innovation: Professor Kim’s insights on avoiding selection bias, the importance of prospective studies, and the future of clinically useful AI in surgery.⁠

- Real-World Practicality: Professor de Manzini’s focus on the value of everyday surgical improvements, managing complications, safety, and navigating difficult cases.⁠

- The Blueprint for Success: What it really means to publish in Surgical Endoscopy and how to align your research with what editors are looking for.⁠ ⁠

How many cases does an institution need to master Robotic Pancreatoduodenectomy? 🤖🏥
⁠
We know individual surgeon learning curves, but what about the whole hospital? A new study reviewed 100 consecutive RPDs at a high-volume center to find the exact institutional learning curve using RA-CUSUM analysis.
⁠
Key findings:⁠
🔹 The Threshold: The institutional learning curve was achieved at 44 cases, and stabilized at 76 cases.
🔹 Improving Metrics: After 76 cases, operative time and major complications dropped significantly!
🔹 RPD vs. OPD: RPD showed longer OR times but resulted in shorter hospital stays and comparable safety and oncologic outcomes to open surgery.
⁠
The bottom line: ⁠
Adopting robotic pancreatoduodenectomy is safe and feasible for high-volume centers. Once the 44-case learning curve is passed, patients benefit from shorter hospital stays with outcomes comparable to open surgery. 🚀

Dealing with recurrent weight gain after a gastric bypass is a complex challenge. A new MBSAQIP database study analyzed 616 patients to compare two major revisional options: BPD/DS and SADI-S.⁠
⁠
Key findings:⁠
🔹 Safety First: No significant differences in 30-day complication rates, operative time, or length of hospital stay.⁠
🔹 Patient Mix: BPD/DS patients generally presented with higher pre-op BMIs and more comorbidities like hypertension.⁠
🔹 Early Results: Both procedures showed highly comparable short-term weight loss metrics at the 30-day mark!⁠
⁠
The bottom line: ⁠
Both surgeries are safe, reliable options with comparable short-term outcomes for tackling recurrent weight gain after RYGB. 🏥📉⁠
