Article Abstract
Background: Postoperative complications like remnant hepatic vein (HV) outflow block and liver torsion can occur after right hepatectomy. Hepatic falciform ligament fixation is typically used to prevent liver torsion. We report a novel procedure to manage outflow block.
Case Summary: An 80-year-old man developed HV outflow block after remnant right hepatectomy, despite liver fixation and intraoperative HV flow check. He had a history of cholangiocellular carcinoma and had undergone posterior segmentectomy and choledojejunostomy. The falciform ligament fixation was inadequate to maintain liver position. Emergency surgery was performed, using an omental flap and mobilized right side colon with ileocecal region to prevent liver dislocation due to intraabdominal adhesion. His postoperative course was uneventful.
Conclusion: This is the first report providing a novel surgical procedure when the falciform ligament is insufficient for remnant liver fixation.

Impact of Preoperative CT Planning on Surgical Outcomes in Patients with Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of CT planning on surgical myectomy outcomes in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and/or mid-cavity obstruction, by comparing these outcomes with those of conventional surgical myectomy.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included patients who underwent surgical septal myectomy for HCM with LVOT and/or mid-cavity obstruction between January 2019 and May 2024 at a single tertiary center. In the CT-planned myectomy group, an expert radiologist simulated the target myectomy site through a series of post-processing methods to plan the surgical approach, provide a surgeon's view that closely resembles the actual perspective in the operating room, and present the target myectomy volume.

Objectives: To assess the surgical outcomes of atrioventricular septal defect associated with Tetralogy of Fallot (AVSD)-TOF repair performed at 2 specialized cardiac centers.
Methods: From May 2012 to December 2024, 20 patients diagnosed with AVSD-TOF who underwent surgical repair were included.
Results: The median age at the time of surgical repair was 13 months, with a median weight of 8.
An Unusual Presentation of Third-Degree Atrioventricular Block in a Patient With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are commonly affected by ventricular tachyarrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia, leading to syncope and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Complete atrioventricular (AV) block in patients with HCM is very unusual but may also lead to syncope and SCD. We report a 52-year-old male who presented with recurrent episodes of pre-syncope and effort intolerance.

Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a potentially life-threatening inflammatory condition with a wide clinical spectrum. In severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), impaired pancreatic microcirculation contributes to necrosis and multiorgan dysfunction. Despite advances in supportive care, therapeutic strategies that directly target pancreatic perfusion remain limited.

The peripheral nervous system has been the subject of various studies on topics ranging from the innervation of tissues and organs to central nervous system clearance and neuropathies. Because research methods are mainly based on dissection techniques accompanied by histological studies, they inevitably lead to the destruction of the tissue under study. Our team has developed a method consisting of injecting peripheral nerves with barium contrast that can be visualized with computed tomography (CT) scans.
