Background/aim: Predictors of recurrence following resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are not fully established. This study investigated potential risk factors and prognostic scores for this situation.
Patients And Methods: In 297 patients undergoing resection of HCC between 2000 and 2021, risk scores and potential additional risk factors for intrahepatic and extrahepatic recurrence were assessed.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the different phases of the learning curve for robotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP) in international expert centers.
Summary Background Data: RDP is an emerging minimally invasive approach; however, only limited, mostly single center data are available on its safe implementation, including the learning curve.
Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing elective RDP from 16 expert centers across three continents were included to assess the learning curve.

Article Synopsis
- A new surgery technique called minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD) is being studied as a possible better option than the traditional open surgery (OPD) for pancreas problems.
- Researchers looked at data from hospitals in North America, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden from 2014 to 2020 and found that MIPD is used differently in each country.
- They discovered that more patients were getting MIPD over time, especially in North America and the Netherlands, but there were also higher risks of complications in some cases.
