Article Abstract
Introduction: Simultaneous robot assisted colon and liver resections are being performed more frequently at present due to the expanded adoption of the robotic platform for surgical management of metastatic colon cancer. However, this approach has not been studied in detail with only case series available in the literature. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the current body of evidence on the feasibility of performing simultaneous robotic colon and liver resections.
Methods: A systematic review was performed through PubMed to identify relevant articles describing simultaneous colon and liver resections for metastatic colon cancer.
Results: A total of 28 patients underwent simultaneous resections robotically with an average operative time of 420.3 minutes and average blood loss of 275.6 ml. Postoperative stay was 8.6 days on average with all cases achieving negative surgical margins.
Conclusions: Robotic simultaneous resection of colorectal cancer with liver metastases is technically feasible and seems oncologically equivalent to open or laparoscopic surgery. Further studies are urgently needed to assess benefits of robotic surgery in the patient population.

Background: To evaluate predictors of outcomes in colorectal liver metastases (CLM) patients undergoing 90Y radioembolization (TARE), focusing on the impact of tumor absorbed dose.
Materials And Methods: Patients' characteristics and dosimetry assessments were analyzed in 231 patients undergoing 329 TARE sessions from 09/2009 to 07/2023. Response was assessed using RECIST1.
Isolated retroperitoneal duodenal perforation after blunt abdominal trauma, an often-missed injury: A case report.
Int J Surg Case Rep
September 2025
Introduction: Duodenal injuries occur in significant number of patients after abdominal trauma. Though most, 75 %, occur after penetrating mechanism of injury the remaining occur after blunt trauma and these are the commonly missed cases unless high index of suspicion is maintained. Here we presented a case of isolated retroperitoneal duodenal perforation after blunt abdominal trauma with a delayed diagnosis and management.

It is unknown how human health is affected by the current increased consumption of ultra-processed plant-based meat analogues (PBMA). In the present study, rats were fed an experimental diet based on pork or a commercial PBMA, matched for protein, fat, and carbohydrate content for three weeks. Rats on the PBMA diet exhibited metabolic changes indicative of lower protein digestibility and/or dietary amino acid imbalance, alongside increased mesenteric (+38%) and retroperitoneal (+20%) fat depositions despite lower food and energy intake.

Aims: There is a lack of compelling evidence supporting the benefit of surgical resection for para-aortic lymph node metastasis (PALNM) from colorectal cancer (CRC). We aimed to investigate the true impact of surgical resection on survival for patients with PALNM from CRC.
Patients And Methods: Patients diagnosed with PALNM from CRC at the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum institutions between January 2011 and December 2015 were analyzed.

Survivin, an inhibitor of apoptosis protein, is minimally expressed in normal adult tissues but overexpressed in multiple cancers. This study investigates survivin expression alongside autophagy markers ATG7 and LC3B in seven solid tumor types in Indian patient samples. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed on 48 cancer tissue samples (breast n = 7, buccal n = 6, cervical n = 5, colon n = 8, renal n = 6, liver n = 10, thyroid n = 6) and adjacent normal tissues (n = 9) using anti-human antibodies against survivin, ATG7, and LC3B.
