Article Synopsis
- In robotic donor hepatectomy (RDH), the technique of hepatic duct division (HDD) is crucial for preventing biliary complications in both donors and recipients.
- The novel "triple C" (clip-clamp-cut) technique was analyzed in a study of 137 RDH cases, revealing a significantly lower donor biliary leak rate compared to the traditional "cut and suture" method.
- The triple C technique demonstrates ease of use and effectiveness, suggesting it could be widely adopted in liver transplantation practices to reduce complications.
Gold described a nomogram for prediction of recurrence-free survival (RFS) after surgery for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). This retrospective study was intended to evaluate the utility of this nomogram for predicting a 2-year RFS in our patients. Twenty-eight consecutive eligible patients from January 2009 to January 2013 who underwent R0 resection and had histopathologically proven GIST were included in the study.
