Background: The management of hepatoblastoma (HB) becomes challenging when the tumor remains in close proximity to the major liver vasculature (PMV) even after a full course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). In such cases, extreme liver resection can be considered a potential option.
Aim: To explore whether computer-assisted three-dimensional individualized extreme liver resection is safe and feasible for children with HB who still have PMV after a full course of NAC.
Article Synopsis
- Ganglioneuroblastoma (GNB) is an intermediate-grade tumor between malignant neuroblastoma and benign ganglioma, often misdiagnosed through biopsy, especially in larger cases.
- A 4-year-old girl with a giant retroperitoneal mass initially diagnosed as neuroblastoma was found to have ganglioma after biopsy, but surgery successfully removed the tumor while preserving important blood vessels.
- Ultimately, the pathology revealed a mixed GNB, showing that while aspiration biopsy can lead to underdiagnosis, careful surgical techniques can yield positive outcomes.
Background: Pediatric inguinal hernia (PIH) is a common disease in children. Laparoscopic hernia repair (LHR) has developed rapidly in recent years, but there are still different opinions compared with traditional open hernia repair (OHR). The purpose of this study was to compare the advantages and disadvantages of LHR and OHR in the treatment of pediatric inguinal hernia.
