Background: Enhanced recovery programmes are associated with improved short-term outcomes following liver surgery. The impact of enhanced recovery programmes on medium- and long-term outcomes is incompletely understood. This study aimed to assess the impact of an enhanced recovery programme on long-term survival in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal liver metastases.

- The study aimed to evaluate the volumes of portal and hepatic veins to assist in planning complex liver surgeries and transplants.
- Researchers analyzed 3D CT scans of 140 liver donors to create territorial maps of these veins and calculate their inflow and outflow volumes.
- Results indicated that the right hemiliver had the largest volume and drainage capacity, while significant individual variability in venous anatomy was noted, impacting the feasibility of certain surgeries.

Background: Recently there has been a growing interest in the laparoscopic management of common bile duct stones with gallbladder in situ (LBDE), which is favoring the expansion of this technique. Our study identified the standardization factors of LBDE and its implementation in the single-stage management of choledocholithiasis.
Methods: A retrospective multi-institutional study among 17 centers with proven experience in LBDE was performed.
