Article Abstract
Objectives: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common indication for hepatectomy that is often complicated by postoperative complication. The authors sought to investigate the relationship between the open with laparoscopic approach of hepatectomy and incidences of postoperative infectious complications.
Patients And Methods: Using a multicenter database, HCC patients who underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) or open hepatectomy (OH) were reviewed and analyzed. Propensity score matching (PSM), inverse probability of treatment weight (IPTW), and multivariate logistic regression analyses were utilized to assess the association of the operative approach with postoperative infectious complications, including incisional surgical site infection (SSI), organ/space SSI, and remote infection (RI).
Results: Among 3876 patients, 845 (21.8%) and 3031 (78.2%) patients underwent LH and OH, respectively. The overall incidence of infection was 6.9 versus 14.6% among patients who underwent LH versus OH, respectively ( P <0.001). Of note, the incidences of incisional SSI (1.8 vs. 6.3%, P <0.001), organ/space SSI (1.8 vs. 4.6%, P <0.001), and RI (3.8 vs. 9.8%, P <0.001) were all significantly lower among patients who underwent LH versus OH. After PSM (6.9, 1.8, 1.8, and 3.8% vs. 18.5, 8.4, 5.2, and 12.8%, respectively) and IPTW (9.5, 2.3, 2.1, and 5.5% vs. 14.3, 6.3, 4.5, and 9.8%, respectively), LH remained associated with statistically lower incidences of all types of infectious complications. After adjustment for other confounding factors on multivariate analyses, LH remained independently associated with lower incidences of overall infection, incisional SSI, organ/space SSI, and RI in the overall, PSM, and IPTW cohorts, respectively.
Conclusion: Compared with open approach, laparoscopic approach was independently associated with lower incidences of postoperative infectious complications following hepatectomy for HCC.

Delayed sternal closure (DSC) is frequently utilized to facilitate the recovery of myocardial function and edema following the Norwood procedure. At our institution, most patients undergo primary sternal closure (PSC), unless specified high-risk characteristics are present. We sought to analyze the outcomes of our approach.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the presence of Serpentine Signs on computed tomography (CT) images and its impact on the clinical symptoms in patients with empty nose syndrome (ENS).
Methods: A retrospective study analysed patients with ENS enrolled in previous studies. The clinical characteristics and results of ENS-specific questionnaire evaluations were reviewed.
Does the existing evidence on flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath indicate a potential paradigm shift in the management of kidney and ureteral stones with flexible ureteroscopy? An overview from EAU endourology.

Purpose Of Review: This opinion article from the EAU Endourology Section critically summarizes the existing evidence on flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheaths (FANS) to determine if they represent a paradigm shift in managing kidney and ureteral stones with flexible ureteroscopy (FURS). This scoping review aims to synthesize recent findings on FANS efficacy, safety, and potential to overcome limitations of conventional ureteral access sheath (C-UAS) and other modalities.
Recent Findings: Current evidence demonstrates FANS significantly outperforms C-UAS.
