Background: In laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy, the stapler transection of the pancreas remains the preferred method; however, pancreatic fistula continues to be a critical unsolved problem. The aim of this study was to compare complications associated with distal pancreatectomy, especially regarding the formation of pancreatic fistula, with particular attention to the stapler and hand-sewn closure technique.
Patients And Methods: Between January 2004 and June 2012, 47 patients underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy.
Background/aims: There is no consensus for laparoscopy first in patients with rectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases, whose metastases are confined to the liver. This study aimed to evaluate its indications for one-stage surgery in laparoscopy.
Materials And Methods: Eighteen patients with rectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases, who had undergone laparoscopic colorectal resection and simultaneous treatment for liver metastases, were retrospectively reviewed.

Aim: To investigate the growth-inhibiting and apoptosis-inducing effects of the gene MOB2 on human hepatic carcinoma cell line SMMC-7721.
Methods: The full-length cDNA of the MOB2 gene was amplified from human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The correct full-length MOB2 cDNA was subcloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-C1.

Background: Laparoscopic surgery for confirmed infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) represents a relatively new solution. There are no studies comparing the outcomes of laparoscopic and open surgery for patients with IPN. The aims of this study were to investigate the feasibility of laparoscopic management for patients with IPN and to compare the outcomes of laparoscopic and open surgery.

Aim: To investigate the effects of laparoscopic hepatectomy for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: From 2006 to January 2011, laparoscopic hepatectomies were performed on 30 cases of HCC at Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital. During this same time period, 30 patients elected to undergo conventional open hepatectomy over laparoscopic hepatectomy at the time of informed consent.
