Comparative analysis of the short and medium-term efficacy of the Da Vinci robot laparoscopic total mesangectomy for rectal cancer.

Background: The Da Vinci robot-assisted surgery technique has been widely used in laparoscopic mesangectomy for rectal cancer. However, the short-term efficacy of these procedures compared to traditional laparoscopic surgery remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the short- and medium-term efficacy of Da Vinci robot and laparoscopic surgery in total mesangectomy (TME) for rectal cancer, so as to provide guidance and reference for clinical practice.

Single versus multiple port laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma: A retrospective comparative study.

Background: Single port laparoscopic hepatectomy has been applied in some surgeries. We aimed to describe our experience with single port laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy (SPLS) and to compare the safety and feasibility of this technique with those of conventional multi-port laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy (MPLS) in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Methods: A total of 72 consecutive patients who underwent SPLS (n = 33) and MPLS (n = 39) for HCC were enrolled.

A novel inflammation-based nomogram system to predict survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background And Aim: The existed staging systems were limited in the accuracy of prediction for overall survival (OS) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. The aim of this study is to establish a novel inflammation-based prognostic system with nomogram for HCC patients.

Methods: A prospective cohort of patients was recruited and assigned to the training cohort (n = 659) and validation cohort (n = 320) randomly.
