[The Russian consensus on the treatment of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma].

The Russian consensus on the treatment of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma was prepared by the group of experts consisting of surgeons, interventional radiologists, radiation therapists and oncologists. The purposes of this consensus are clarification and consolidation of opinions of multidisciplinary team on the following issues of management of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: indications for surgical treatment, features of therapeutic tactics for mechanical jaundice, technical aspects of liver resection, prevention of post-resection liver failure, indications for liver resection using transplantation technologies, laparoscopic and robot-assisted liver resection, perioperative systemic chemotherapy, local non-resection/non-radiotherapy methods of treatment, radiotherapy, follow-up and choice of treatment for recurrence.

Case report: First case of undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver in a child with neurofibromatosis type 1, treated by hepatic chemoperfusion with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization.

Introduction: In this report we firstly describe undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver (UESL) in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), fatally complicated by synchronous malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) with a highly aggressive metastatic course. The case also represents our first experience of chemoperfusion involving the transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in a pediatric patient, applied as a treatment for UESL.

Case Presentation: A 13-year-old girl was diagnosed with NF1 and presented with a liver tumor identified as UESL by histological assessment.

Laparoscopic radical and conservative surgery for hydatid liver echinococcosis: PSM based comparative analysis of immediate and long-term outcomes.

Background: The diffusion of laparoscopic radical surgery for hydatid liver echinococcosis remains limited. There are no published data on a comparative analysis of the immediate and long-term results of radical and conservative laparoscopic surgery for liver hydatid cysts. Comparison of the immediate and long-term outcomes after laparoscopic radical and conservative cystectomies was aimed.

Combining E-PASS model and disease specific risk factors to predict severe morbidity after liver and bile duct resection for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Background: Estimation of physiologic ability and surgical stress system (E-PASS) has been shown to be effective in predicting morbidity after surgery for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHCC). Nevertheless, E-PASS does not include an assessment of the disease specific risk factors. The aim of the study was to estimate the combined impact of E-PASS and specific preoperative factors on major morbidity for PHCC patients.
