Technique for liver separation using the modified liver hanging maneuver (LHM) in a case of thoraco-omphalopagus conjoined twins.

Introduction: Conjoined twins are rare, high-stakes cases requiring complex management. This report presents thoraco-omphalopagus conjoined twins who shared parts of liver and abdominal wall. The main obstacle in separating these patients was liver fusion.

Giant gallbladder case report with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) serum level and mRNA expression evaluation.

Giant gallbladder (GGB) is a rare condition and its pathogenesis could not be explained clearly. It can result from cholelithiasis, chronic cholecystitis or neoplasm, but more rarely if created congenitally. Adequate vasculatization should support the development of this entity.

Systematic extended right posterior sectionectomy (SERPS), a single center serial cases for secondary liver tumors.

Unlabelled: Liver resection in secondary liver tumors may associated with the consequences of posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). Systematic extended right posterior sectionectomy (SERPS) is offered as an alternative to resect secondary liver tumors in segment 6-7 with vascular invasion of right hepatic vein, with less risk of PHLF compared to right hepatectomy. This case series is important to demonstrate the effectivity and safety of SERPS procedure performed in developing country.

The use of Thulium-Doped Fiber Laser (TDFL) 1940 nm as an energy device in liver parenchyma resection, a-pilot-study in Indonesia.

Introduction: Several modalities are used to improve the outcome of liver resection surgery. Laser-based surgery may become promising option; therefore we aim to report our experience regarding the efficacy and safety of Thulium-Doped Fiber Laser (TDFL) 1940 nm in liver parenchyma resection.

Methods: A cross sectional study in which patients with pre-existing liver pathology during July 2019 and July 2020 were randomly assigned to receive liver resection using TDFL integrated with raman laser emitting at 1940 nm and 1470 nm wavelength.
