Objective: The aim of this study was to build a predictive model of operative difficulty in open liver resections (LRs).
Summary Background Data: Recent attempts at classifying open-LR have been focused on postoperative outcomes and were based on predefined anatomical schemes without taking into account other anatomical/technical factors.
Methods: Four intraoperative variables were perceived by the authors as to reflect operative difficulty: operation and transection times, blood loss, and number of Pringle maneuvers.
Background: Cholangitis lenta (CL) represents a specific histological lesion associated with severe cholestasis and related to sepsis. Despite being well known by pathologists, CL has been poorly studied in liver transplantation (LT).
Methods: We performed a retrospective 12-year analysis of the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of CL in LT recipients.

- Total thyroidectomy for Graves' disease can increase hemorrhage risk due to hypervascularization of the thyroid, complicating the identification of critical nearby structures during surgery.
- A study at a single center from November 2010 to November 2015 reviewed outcomes of 380 patients who underwent this procedure without preoperative treatment using Lugol's solution.
- The results showed no deaths, with rates of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy at 7.89% and permanent hypoparathyroidism at 3.68%, suggesting that iodine pretreatment may not be necessary, although further research is needed.
Aim: To report a preliminary experience of conformal radiotherapy (CRT) as bridge to orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: Data of 12 patients undergoing CRT for HCC followed by OLT between 2012 and 2014 were reviewed.
Results: CRT was used in a neoadjuvant or downstaging setting in nine and three patients, respectively.
