Article Synopsis
- * The authors outline their LDP approach, focusing on anatomical understanding, intraoperative techniques, and critical considerations to improve outcomes in minimally invasive surgeries.
- * A review of LDP's history and current guidelines emphasizes the importance of technical education to enhance the performance and acceptance of these procedures among surgeons.
Purpose: To evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and oncological outcomes of irreversible electroporation (IRE) of unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs) close to critical structures.
Materials And Methods: This is a single-center, institutional review board (IRB)-approved, retrospective analysis of patients who underwent percutaneous computed tomography (CT)-guided IRE of CRLM. Between August 2018 and October 2023, 26 patients had 46 tumors treated with percutaneous IRE in 30 ablation sessions.
Background: Despite a growing body of literature supporting the safety of robotic hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) procedures, the adoption of minimally invasive techniques in HPB surgery has been slow compared to other specialties. We aimed to identify barriers to implementing robotic assisted surgery (RAS) in HPB and present a framework that highlights opportunities to improve adoption.
Methods: A modified nominal group technique guided by a 13-question framework was utilized.
Introduction: The growth of surgeon burnout is of significant concern. As we work to reimagine the practice of surgery, an accurate understanding of the extent of surgeon burnout is essential. Our goal was to define the current prevalence of burnout and quality of life (QOL) among SAGES surgeons.

Background: Despite the perceived advantages of MIPD, its global adoption has been slow due to the inherent complexity of the procedure and challenges to acquiring surgical experience. Its wider adoption must be undertaken with an emphasis towards appropriate patient selection according to adequate surgeon and center experience.
