The impact of obesity on short-term outcomes after the laparoscopic liver resection: a single-institution experience.

Introduction: Obesity is a major public health problem and a well-known cause of multiple comorbidities. With the increasing application of minimally invasive surgery for benign and malignant liver lesions, the results of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) in obese patients are of great interest.

Aim: To evaluate the short-term operative outcomes after LLR in obese patients and compare them to patients with normal weight and overweight.

Two-stage hepatectomy in resection of colorectal liver metastases - a single-institution experience with case-control matching and review of the literature.

Background: Two-stage hepatectomy (TSH) has been proposed for patients with bilateral liver tumours who have a high risk of posthepatectomy liver failure after one-stage hepatectomy (OSH). This study aimed to determine the outcomes of TSH for extensive bilateral colorectal liver metastases.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of liver resections for colorectal liver metastases was conducted.
