Progression of resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma during surgical delay and effects on survival - A propensity score matched study.

Background: Surgery is the only curative treatment for pancreatic cancer, but less than 25 % of the patients present with a resectable tumor at the time of diagnosis. The aim of this study is to evaluate progression during surgical treatment delay and examine any associations between surgical treatment delay and survival.

Methods: This is a retrospective, single center propensity score matched study including treatment naïve patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma between 2018 and 2022.

Short-Term Surgical Outcomes After Robotic Liver Surgery: A Propensity-Score Matched Analysis With Conventional Open Liver Surgery at a High-Volume Centre in Denmark.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the perioperative outcomes of robotic liver surgery (RLS) and Open liver surgery (OLS) in a centre with a high number of operations.

Methods: A 1:1 propensity score matched (PSM) analysis of a retrospective database of RLS and OLS was performed. Cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis was performed to identify learning curves.

Leiomyosarcoma of the abdomen and retroperitoneum; a systematic review.

Background: Intraabdominal and retroperitoneal leiomyosarcomas are rare cancers, which cause significant morbidity and mortality. Symptoms, treatment and follow up differs from other cancers, and proper diagnosis and treatment of intraabdominal and retroperitoneal leiomyosarcomas is of utmost importance. We performed a systematic review to collect and summarize available evidence for diagnosis and treatment for these tumours.

Efficacy and safety of robotic liver surgery for the elderly: A propensity-score matched analysis of short-term outcomes with open liver surgery at a single center in Denmark.

Background: The incidence of liver tumors requiring surgical treatment continues to increase in elderly patients. This study compared the short-term results of robotic liver surgery (RLS) versus open liver surgery (OLS) for liver tumors in elderly patients.

Methods: A prospective database including all patients undergoing liver surgery at Copenhagen University Hospital between July 2019 and July 2022 was managed retrospectively.

Risk factors for recurrent disease after resection of solitary fibrous tumor: a systematic review.

Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare soft tissue tumor found at any site of the body. The treatment of choice is surgical resection, though 10%-30% of patients experience recurrent disease. Multiple risk factors and risk stratification systems have been investigated to predict which patients are at risk of recurrence.

Accuracy of FAST in detecting intraabdominal bleeding in major trauma with pelvic and/or acetabular fractures: a retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: The Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) is a tool to rapidly detect intraabdominal and intrapericardial fluid with point-of-care ultrasound. Previous studies have questioned the role of FAST in patients with pelvic fractures. The aim of the present study was to assess the accuracy of FAST to detect clinically significant intraabdominal hemorrhage in patients with pelvic fractures.

The results of surgery for renal cell carcinoma metastases of the pancreas.

Background: Pancreatic metastases from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are rare. This study evaluated the surgical pathology and outcomes after resection of RCC metastases to the pancreas.

Material And Methods: A retrospective review of from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2021, of patients who underwent pancreatic surgery for metastases from RCC.

Robot-assisted minimally invasive liver surgery in elderly patients: A single-centre, propensity score- matched study.

Background: The aim was to evaluate the short-term results of robot-assisted minimally invasive liver surgery(Robot-assisted liver surgery (RLS)) in elderly patients.

Methods: Between November 2019 and July 2022, RLS was performed on 100 consecutive patients. Patients were divided into a middle-aged group (Group1:＜75years) and an elderly group(Group2:≧75years).

A gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract, though rectal GIST is rare. The primary treatment of GIST is surgical resection. Neoadjuvant imatinib treatment may cause tumor reduction and allow local resection.

Littoral cell angioma is a benign vascular tumour of the spleen, and malign transformation is seldom. The angioma is associated with a high risk of simultaneous occurrence of other primary cancers, and it is of utmost importance to perform extensive diagnostic investigations to detect other cancers. Definitive treatment of littoral cell angioma is surgical resection of the spleen.

Ogilvie Syndrome in Patients With Traumatic Pelvic and/or Acetabular Fractures: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objectives: To assess the incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of Ogilvie syndrome (OS) in patients with pelvic and/or acetabular fractures.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Level 1 trauma center.

Learning curves in robot-assisted minimally invasive liver surgery at a high-volume center in Denmark: Report of the first 100 patients and review of literature.

Background And Objective: Minimally invasive liver surgery is evolving worldwide, and robot-assisted liver surgery (RLS) can deliver obvious benefits for patients. However, so far no large case series have documented the learning curve for RLS.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study for robotic liver surgery (RLS) from June 2019 to June 2022 where 100 patients underwent RLS by the same surgical team.

Relieving the bile ducts prior to pancreatoduodenectomy - A retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: Obstructive jaundice is a common problem in pancreatic and periampullary tumors, but preoperative biliary drainage in patients with hyperbilirubinemia is still controversial. This study aimed to assess the risk of complications after preoperative drainage of biliary obstruction in patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Method: A retrospective cohort study of all patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy from January 1st, 2015 to September 30th, 2021.

The Prognostic Value of Plasma Programmed Death Protein-1 (PD-1) and Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) in Patients with Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor.

Background: This study investigates the prognostic value of plasma Programmed Death Protein-1 (PD-1) and Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) concentrations in patients with Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST).

Methods: Patients with GIST were included ( = 157) from the two Danish sarcoma centers, independent of disease- and treatment status. The patients were divided into three subgroups; 1: patients with localized disease who underwent radical surgery; 2: patients with local, locally advanced, or metastatic disease; and 3: patients without measurable disease who had undergone radical surgery.

The Prognostic Value of Plasma Small Extracellular Vesicles' Phenotype in Patients With Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor.

Background/aim: For patients with local gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), risk stratification is used to assess the prognosis and identify patients to offer adjuvant treatment. For patients with advanced or metastatic GIST, no such risk stratification exists. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of 31 different plasma small extracellular vesicles' (SEVs) surface proteins in GIST patients.

Lower urinary tract injuries in patients with pelvic fractures at a level 1 trauma center - an 11-year experience.

Background: Urological injuries can occur in patients with pelvic fractures. Treatment recommendations lack solid evidence and is often pragmatical. There is a continuous need to describe short- and long-term morbidity following lower urinary tract trauma.
