Introduction: This study comprehensively compared laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) to open liver resection (OLR) in treating colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM).
Methods: A systematic review of relevant literature was conducted to assess a range of crucial surgical and oncological outcomes.
Results: Findings indicate that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) did not significantly prolong the duration of surgery compared to open liver resection and notably demonstrated lower blood transfusion rates and reduced intraoperative blood loss.

Inflammation is a key driver in the pathogenesis of cystic fibrosis (CF). We assessed the effectiveness of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) therapy on downregulating systemic and immune cell-derived inflammatory cytokines. We also monitored the impact of ETI therapy on clinical outcome.

The resection of the primary tumor and metastatic lesions can follow different sequences: "simultaneous", "bowel-first", and "liver-first". Conservative approaches, such as parenchymal-sparing surgery and segmentectomy, may serve as alternatives to major hepatectomy.
