Introduction
In breast cancer, recommendations for axillary surgery are currently shifting toward omitting SLNB. Studies have shown that not performing axillary staging has no impact on regional control or survival and translates into improved quality of life. We sought to determine whether certain clinical factors such as tumor size or type, immunohistochemical characteristics, tumor grade or Ki 67 value are predictive of metastatic disease in the lymph nodes.
Methods
A retrospective observational study was conducted of patients who underwent breast cancer surgery during the years 2019–2024. Inclusion criteria were: tumor size equal to or less than 2 cm as measured by ultrasound, and axilla that was clinically and ultrasound-negative.
Results
One hundred and fifty-six breasts were operated on, with a mean age of 64.5 years. Regarding immunohistochemistry, tumor grade, and age, no differences were observed. However, patients with tumors >2 cm and lobular tumors did have greater lymph node involvement (P < .05).
Conclusions
There are no variables that predict lymph node involvement before surgery. Today, we are not prepared to lose the information provided by SLNB, and part of the postoperative treatment is determined by its results.

Introduction
The textbook outcome (TO) is a qualitative measurement tool for surgical procedures that has been tested in a multitude of cases. Liver transplantation (LT) is one of the most complex interventions in our specialty. In this study, we evaluate the achievement of TO in patients undergoing LT. We also propose a definition of specific TO for LT surgery.
Materials and methods
A single-centre retrospective study was conducted between May 2012 and December 2022. Patients whose data were incomplete in the database, patients with retransplantation, transplants for acute liver failure, intraoperative findings of portal vein thrombosis, and patients who received a donor graft after circulatory death were excluded. TO was defined as the absence of mortality and major complications in the first 90 days after surgery, absence of readmission in the first 30 days, and a hospital stay not prolonged > p75.
Results
A total of 132 patients were included. More than half achieved TO (56.8%). Prolonged hospital stay was the variable that most limited the achievement of TO (25% of patients). Pre-transplant hypertension in the recipient and prolonged cold ischaemia time were associated with a lower rate of TO. Survival was higher in the group that achieved TO, although statistical significance could not be demonstrated.
Conclusions
TO is a valuable measure for assessing LT. A universal definition of TO for LT will be necessary given the lack of consensus on the criteria used among the different series published to date.

Introduction
Although laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has positioned itself as the leading bariatric technique worldwide, surpassing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB), its possible inferiority in terms of weight and metabolic results remains controversial. The of this study was to compare the response of both techniques in terms of weight loss and obesity-related metabolic complications.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective study of all patients who had undergone LSG and LRYGB in our center from 2013 to 2022. Patient characteristics, postoperative complications, postoperative weight loss and evolution of comorbidities were recorded. Propensity score matching (1:1) was performed to homogenize the 2 intervention groups for body mass index (BMI) and preoperative metabolic syndrome.
Results
Out of the 354 patients who met the selection criteria, 309 patients were ultimately included in the study (172 LSG and 137 LRYGB); mean age was 45.8 ± 9.5 years; 205 were women (66.3%). Median BMI was 47 (interquartile range = 42.8–52.9). After propensity score matching, 118 patients remained in each group. BMI trajectories during the first 3 years of follow-up after the 2 types of surgery showed no significant differences (P = .693). One month after treatment, there were also no differences in postoperative metabolic syndrome parameters or complication rates (P = .866).
Conclusions
Our data suggest that sleeve gastrectomy provides a similar weight and metabolic response to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in patients with similar BMI and metabolic syndrome characteristics.

Textbook outcome is a composite measure of several clinically important perioperative outcomes that are included in the definition of ideal surgical care. The aim of this study is to summarize the different definitions concerning textbook outcome in colorectal surgery. A systematic review of the literature according to PRISMA guidelines was carried out until April 2025. Primary studies on adult patients undergoing colon or rectal resection and assessing the textbook outcomes of the procedure were included. Twenty-one studies were included for review. Textbook outcomes achieved varied from 41.8% to 80.8%. The most prevalent variables were “no mortality” and “length of stay” (85.7%). The variable that contributed mostly to not meeting the definition of textbook outcome was “no complications” (42.9%), with 6 possible definitions. As a result of the variability described, a consensus is to be reached in order to validate the extension of this tool. The proposed definition for textbook outcomes in colorectal surgery would be the following: no complications (>III Clavien-Dindo), length of stay (<75th percentile), no readmissions (<30 days), no mortality (<30 days), and oncological surgery (R0 resection and >12 lymph nodes).
