Article Abstract
Pedicle clamping (PC) during liver resection for colorectal metastases (CRLM) is used to reduce blood loss and allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT). The effect on long-term oncologic outcomes is still under debate. A retrospective analysis of the impact of PC on ABT-demand regarding overall (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in 336 patients undergoing curative resection for CRLM was carried out. Survival analysis was performed by both univariate and multivariate methods and propensity-score (PS) matching. PC was employed in 75 patients (22%). No increased postoperative morbidity was monitored. While the overall ABT-rate was comparable (35% vs. 37%, = 0.786), a reduced demand for more than two ABT-units was observed ( = 0.046). PC-patients had better median OS (78 vs. 47 months, = 0.005) and RFS (36 vs. 23 months, = 0.006). Multivariate analysis revealed PC as an independent prognostic factor for OS (HR = 0.60; = 0.009) and RFS (HR = 0.67; = 0.017). For PC-patients, 1:2 PS-matching ( = 174) showed no differences in the overall ABT-rate compared to no-PC-patients (35% vs. 40%, = 0.619), but a trend towards reduced transfusion requirement (>2 ABT-units: 9% vs. 21%, = 0.052; >4 ABT-units: 2% vs. 11%, = 0.037) and better survival (OS: 78 vs. 44 months, = 0.088; RFS: 36 vs. 24 months; = 0.029). Favorable long-term outcomes and lower rates of increased transfusion demand were observed in patients with PC undergoing resection for CRLM. Further prospective evaluation of potential oncologic benefits of PC in these patients may be meaningful.

Background: Although magnification is an advantage of robotic liver resection (RLR) as it enables precise surgery, the direction of parenchymal dissection, the vascular anatomy, and the tumor location can sometimes be lost. Extended reality (XR) has advantages over other navigation systems in terms of spatial awareness, sharing, and simplicity, and it also has the potential to overcome some of the limitations of RLR. METHODS: In this video, we demonstrate innovative RLR with XR by three separate surgeons.

Identification of a tumor-bearing portal territory using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging (IGFI) facilitates precise laparoscopic anatomic hepatectomy (LAH). However, it is technically challenging to perform a transhepatic portal injection of ICG or to clamp the target portal pedicle and inject ICG during LAH. Herein, we aimed to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of portal territory identification using IGFI under the combined guidance of three-dimensional (3D) virtual imaging and intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) in LAH.

Introduction: Central hepatectomies for giant liver tumors are one of the most complex procedures in liver surgery. The use of minimally invasive techniques using the robotic platform for centrally located liver tumors is rarely reported. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We herein report a case of a 69-year-old female patient who presented with a solitary lesion from metastatic breast cancer in liver segments 4, 5, and 8.

Acute kidney injury(AKI) is commonly linked to cognitive and neurological impairments. The study aims to investigate the relationship between bilateral renal ischemia reperfusion (BRIR) and hippocampal damage and evaluates the effects of ambroxol against BRIR-induced hippocampal injury and neuroinflammation. Thirty adult male rats were randomly assigned to three groups: control (laparotomy without renal occlusion), BRIR model (bilateral renal ischemia was induced by clamping both renal pedicles for 60 min, followed by 3 days of reperfusion), and ambroxol treatment (70 mg/kg, I.

Background: High-altitude adaptation (HAA), induced by chronic hypoxia, has clinically significant cardioprotective effects; however, its impact on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients undergoing liver resection remains uncertain.
Methods: We conducted a single-center prospective matched cohort study enrolling 292 consecutive patients undergoing elective liver resection. Patients were divided into two groups based on their long-term residential altitude: high-altitude group (≥ 1500 m) and plain group (< 1500 m).
