Use of impedance planimetry (EndoFLIP) has shown distensibility index ranges associated with improved patient-reported outcomes after antireflux surgery. Questions remain whether the previously described ideal distensibility index range can be used for patients with esophageal motility disorders. We hypothesized that patients with esophageal motility disorders would have a different ideal distensibility range for optimal outcomes.

Study findings showing an association between nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use and marginal ulcer, a significant cause of morbidity after gastrojejunostomy, have been inconsistent. This study aimed to evaluate this relationship in large cohort.

Use of artificial intelligence to generate personal statements for residency is currently not permitted but is difficult to monitor. This study sought to evaluate the ability of surgical residency application reviewers to identify artificial intelligence–generated personal statements and to understand perceptions of this practice.
