Robotic Assistance in Percutaneous Liver Ablation Therapies: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to identify current robotic assistance systems for percutaneous liver ablations, compare approaches, and determine how to achieve standardization of procedural concepts for optimized ablation outcomes.

Background: Image-guided surgical approaches are increasingly common. Assistance by navigation and robotic systems allows to optimize procedural accuracy, with the aim to consistently obtain adequate ablation volumes.

Hepatoid carcinoma of the ovary - A case report and literature review.

We present the case of a 27-year old female with an ovarian tumor and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) of 1210 ng/m, a right salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and had conservative complementary staging by gynecologic oncologists. The histopathological report was primary hepatoid carcinoma of the ovary (HCO), clinical stage IA, complementary treatment was adjuvant chemotherapy with BEP and remains clinical, imaging and biochemically disease free in three years follow up.
