Article Synopsis
- This study critically assesses the necessity of systematic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) during cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, using long-term follow-up data.* -
- An analysis of 443 patients treated between 2008 and 2022 found that while some had gallbladder issues and underwent cholecystectomy, the majority (373) did not, with only a small number developing gallstone-related complications post-surgery.* -
- The conclusion suggests that while cholecystectomy is generally safe, it may not be necessary as a standard procedure during
Additional primary malignancies in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is not only common but of growing interest in the scientific literature. This association is of great importance in terms of clinical challenge, diagnosis and therapy as well as for the prognosis impact it implies. In the published series there is a tendency to group these patients to determine the specific and distinguishable characteristics of GIST associated with other malignancies.

Aim: To report our experience in laparoscopic liver resections (LLRs).
Patients And Method: Over a period of 10 years we performed 132 LLRs in 129 patients: 112 malignant tumours (90 hepatic metastases; 22 primary malignant tumours) and 20 benign lesions (18 benign tumours; 2 hydatid cysts).
