Article Abstract
Background: Even though the risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) after liver resection is well recognized, the association between surgical approach and VTE risk is unknown. This study aims to compare VTE rates following open liver resection (OLR) and minimally invasive liver resection (MILR).
Methods: MEDLINE, Web Of Sciences and EMBASE databases were interrogated to identify eligible studies published between February 2016 and August 2022. Studies were considered suitable if they reported a comparison between OLR and MILR (including laparoscopic liver resection [LLR] or robotic liver resection [RLR]).
Results: Fourteen studies including 11 356 patients met the inclusion criteria. 5622 patients underwent OLR and 5734 patients underwent MILR. The VTE rate was higher among patients who underwent OLR compared to MILR (2.8% vs 1.4%, OR (95% CI) = 1.84, p=<00001). Similarly, the subgroup analysis showed a higher rate of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) (1.4% vs 0.7%, OR (95% CI) = 1.98, p = 0.02) and pulmonary embolism (PE) (1.3% vs 0.7%, OR (95% CI) = 1.88, p = 0.002) in patients who underwent OLR compared to MILR.
Discussion: Patients who undergo open hepatectomy have a higher incidence of postoperative VTE when compared to those undergoing minimally invasive liver resection. This finding was consistent for both DVT and PE.

Anatomic resection remains a fundamental principle in the surgical management of hepatobiliary diseases, whether performed through traditional open surgery or advanced minimally invasive approaches such as laparoscopic or robotic-assisted techniques. However, a universally accepted and clearly defined anatomical framework for intraoperative anatomical delineation remains lacking. The growing clinical adoption of Laennec membrane-guided anatomical strategies has been associated with notable improvements in surgical efficacy and anatomical precision.

Debilitated calves are often presented with an umbilical remnant infection, septic arthritis, or both. These comorbidities, frequently caused by similar bacteria, must be addressed surgically. In cases of omphalophlebitis where the infection reaches the liver, the clinician generally has 1 option: marsupialization of the vein.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) frequently invades the portal vein, leading to early recurrence and a poor prognosis. However, the mechanisms underlying this invasion remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to detect portal vein circulating tumor cells (CTCs) using a Glypican-3-positive detection method and evaluate their prognostic significance.

Purpose: Liver metastases from colorectal cancer (CRLM) are a major determinant of the prognosis of metastatic colorectal cancer. Although curative resection is recommended for resectable CRLM, recurrence remains a challenge and the criteria for patient selection and repeat resection are still unclear. We conducted this study to evaluate the outcomes of metastatic lesion resection with curative intent (R0 resection), to identify the factors associated with recurrence, and to establish the feasibility of repeat metastasectomy.
