Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the survival factors for patients with multinodular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and explores the potential benefits of surgery beyond standard treatment guidelines.
- It analyzed data from 144 patients who underwent liver resection for HCC between 1990 and 2012, finding that 90-day morbidity and mortality rates were 38.3% and 8.3%, and the 5-year overall survival was 33.3%.
- Key factors influencing survival included tumor size, bilirubin levels, and overall liver function (Child-Pugh score), suggesting that select patients may achieve favorable outcomes from surgical intervention.
Background: Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) is currently the only "cervical invisible scar" procedure with a surgical access close to the thyroid area. The aim of this technical note was to describe a hybrid technique with a vestibular and a submental access as applied in 22 consecutive patients undergoing lobectomy.
Methods: Out of 502 thyroidectomies performed from February 1, 2018 to May 31, 2019, feasibility of Hybrid-TransOral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Submental Access (H-TOETSA) was assessed in 22 patients meeting the inclusion criteria.
Crohn's disease (CD) patients are generally considered at high risk of post-operative complications with respect to non-CD patients. The primary endpoint of this study is to compare early major complications rates between CD and colon cancer (CC) patients undergoing mini-invasive ileo-colic resections or right hemicolectomies. The secondary endpoint is to evaluate the role of pre-operative medication with anti-TNF as a possible risk factor for post-operative complications.
