Optimal surgical approach for mid-transverse colon cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background And Aim: The incidence of cancer colon has increased dramatically. In addition, the database lacks a review to analyze the outcomes of surgeries for mid-transverse colon cancer with several recent controversial studies. We aimed to compare the outcomes of extended hemicolectomy versus transverse colectomy for mid-transverse colon cancer.

Duct-to-Duct Anastomosis Versus Bilioenteric Anastomosis for Pediatrics Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

With an incidence exceeding 30%, biliary complications after pediatric liver transplantation remain a great challenge. In addition, the database includes numerous controversial papers about the safety of duct-to-duct anastomosis compared to Reux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy for pediatric living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). We aim to compare the two techniques in pediatric LDLT by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis: Do We Still Need Microscope Surgery in Hepatic Artery Anastomosis to Decrease the Incidence of Complications in Living Donor Liver Transplantation?

Hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) is the most serious vascular complication after liver transplantation (LT). Moreover, in comparison to deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT), hepatic artery (HA) anastomosis is more challenging in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) with a lot of controversial topics about the use of microscopic surgery. We aimed to compare the use of microscopic and loupe surgery in HA anastomosis in adult and pediatric LDLT to decrease the incidence of vascular complications.
