Clinical and financial outcomes of per-oral endoscopic myotomy compared to laparoscopic heller myotomy for treatment of achalasia
Lena Shally,Kashif Saeed,Derek D. Berglund,Mark Dudash,Katie Frank,Vladan Obradovic,Anthony T. Petrick,David L. Diehl,Jon Gabrielsen,David M. Parker +9 more
TL;DR: POEM is associated with a shorter operative time and LOS, longer myotomy length, and greater resolution of dysphagia compared to LHM, and costs are significantly less than LHM but is poorly reimbursed.

A comparative evaluation of robotic and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: a critical evaluation on the impact of postoperative pain and opioid requirements
Mark Dudash,Kashif Saeed,Shen Lin Wang,Alicia Johns,Ryan Colonie,Alexandra M. Falvo,Ryan D. Horsley,Jon Gabrielsen,Anthony T. Petrick,David M. Parker +9 more
TL;DR: No benefit for postoperative pain or opioid requirements is identified in patients undergoing RA-RYGB compared to L-RY GB, and the RA-ryGB group was significantly more likely to report pain at the two-week follow-up.

Mark Dudash,Sasha Slipak,James Dove,Marie Hunsinger,Tania K. Arora,Jeffrey Wild,Mohsen Shabahang,Joseph Blansfield +7 more
TL;DR: Higher ELN count is associated with OS in patients with esophageal cancer, and patients who receive care at high-volume centers and academic centers are more likely to undergo more extensive lymphadenectomy.
