Article Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer, the incidence of which is rising globally. Despite recent advancements in immunotherapeutic and surgical treatment modalities, the prognosis for HCC remains poor. The surgical treatment strategy for HCC comprises a multimodal effort that ranges from ablative therapy and surgical resection to liver transplantation. Thanks to collective efforts from the surgical society, there have been rapid advances in resection strategies, such as 3D printing for surgical planning and minimally invasive techniques to minimize surgical trauma. This review examines recent advancements in surgical techniques, patient selection criteria, and perioperative management for HCC resection. The purpose of this review was to provide clinicians and researchers with an up-to-date perspective on the evolving role of surgical resection in HCC treatment, and to identify key areas for future investigation to improve patient outcomes.

Background And Aims: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), remain heterogeneous disorders with variable response to biologics. Post-operative recurrence in CD is common despite surgery and prophylactic biotherapies. Understanding the inflammatory mediators associated with recurrence and treatment response could pave the way for personalized strategies.

Segmentectomies Made Easy series: robotic-assisted right S1 and S2 segmentectomy.

Multimed Man Cardiothorac Surg

September 2025

Department of Thoracic Surgery, New Cross Hospital, Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, Wolverhampton, UK

Three-dimensional (3D) guided robotic-assisted thoracic surgery is increasingly recognized as the pioneering approach for the most complex of pulmonary resections, offering high-definition 3D visualization, enhanced instrument augmentation and tremor-free tissue articulation. Compared with open thoracotomy, the robotic platform is associated with reduced peri-operative morbidity, shorter hospital admissions and faster patient recovery. However, sublobar resections such as segmentectomies remain anatomically and technically demanding, particularly in the context of resecting multiple segments, as showcased in this right S1 and S2 segmentectomy.

Background And Aims: A scoring model was proposed to support endoscopic decision-making for cardial submucosal tumors (SMTs). The aim of this study is to perform a multicenter validation of the clinical scoring model and to introduce a new clinical classification system for cardial SMTs.

Methods: A multicenter analysis of endoscopic decision-making for cardial submucosal tumors (SMTs) was conducted.

A Readily Synthesized All-In-One Nanowire Hydrogel: Toward Inhibiting Tumor Recurrence and Postoperative Infection.

Adv Mater

September 2025

Department of Minimally Invasive Interventional Radiology, The Second Affiliated Hospital &Guangzhou Institute of Cancer Research, The Affiliate Cancer Hospital &School of Biomedical Engineering, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, 510260, China.

Surgical resection remains the frontline intervention for cancer; however, postoperative tumor recurrence and wound infection remain critical unmet challenge in surgical oncology. Herein, an all-in-one nanowired hydrogel (V-Hydrogel) is developed through a facile one-step assembly employing enzyme-mimetic VO nanowires and bactericidal crosslinker THPS. The V-Hydrogel reserves the glutathione peroxidase-, peroxidase-, catalase-, and oxidase-mimetic enzymatic activities derived from vanadium oxide nanowires, thereby exhibiting efficient tumor-specific catalytic therapy.

Background: Dental rehabilitation is considered challenging to achieve whenever composite scapulo-dorsal free flaps are used to reconstruct medium-to-large maxillary defects due to the fact that bone quality and quantity may be low, which may preclude placement of conventional dental implants. In such cases, current options for dental rehabilitation include printed patient-specific subperiosteal implants or zygomatic implants.

Methods: The authors report three cases of maxillary tumour resections that led to medium-to-large defects reconstructed using composite scapulo-dorsal free flaps.
