A 12-year-old female patient with end-stage renal failure whose primary disease was reflux nephropathy, was first admitted for augmentation cystoplasty by using an ileum segment because of contracted urinary bladder. Four months later, she had a renal transplantation from her father on March 28th 1997. The first three days after the operation were uneventful. On the fourth day, she presented a severe rejection episode and was treated with steroid and ATG. A urinary fistula developed and she underwent surgery again on the 14th postoperative day. At surgery, apical resection + omentoplasty + nephrostomy + DJ replacement were performed. The postoperative period after the second operation was full of problems for both the patient and the transplantation team. She was discharged from hospital on the 40th postoperative day with excellent renal function (a serum creatinine level of 1 mg/dl) and with full recovery.

Robotic Anatomical Segment VIII Resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using the Scissor Hepatectomy Technique.
Ann Surg Oncol
January 2025
Department of General and Visceral Surgery, Ulm University Hospital, Ulm, Germany.
Background: Robotic hepatectomy has been increasingly adopted for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the ideal technique of parenchymal transection in robotic hepatectomy has been a matter of ongoing debate in literature.
Patients And Methods: In this video, we demonstrate the technique of robotic anatomical segment VIII resection using the scissor hepatectomy technique for parenchymal transection on a 75-year-old male patient with a solitary HCC lesion.
Short- and Long-Term Outcomes of Patients Who Underwent the Arterial Switch Operation at Siriraj Hospital-Thailand's Largest National Tertiary Referral Center.
World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg
January 2025
Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the short- and long-term outcomes of patients who underwent the arterial switch operation (ASO) at Siriraj Hospital in Thailand, and to identify postoperative complications and factors that significantly affect patient survival.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively studied all patients with dextro-transposition of the great arteries and anatomic variants who underwent the ASO from January 1995 to December 2020. Twenty-year overall survival and 15-year freedom from reoperation/reintervention were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Clinical application of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging in laparoscopic cholecystectomy with common bile duct exploration and J-Tube drainage.

Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Affiliated Nantong Hospital Third of Nantong University, Nantong 226006, Jiangsu Province, China.
Background: Intraoperative and postoperative biliary injuries remain significant complications of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE). Indocyanine green (ICG) has been shown to significantly reduce injuries caused by intraoperative operational errors. We found that the J-tube can reduce postoperative strictures and injuries to the common bile duct.

Background: Improving the intraoperative and postoperative performance of laparoscopic hepatectomy was quite a challenge for liver surgeons.
Aim: To determine the benefits of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy during and after surgery.
Methods: We retrospectively collected the clinicopathological data of 107 patients who successfully underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy at Zhongshan Hospital (Xiamen), Fudan University from June 2022 to June 2023.
A case report of a rare cardiac anomaly associated with Ellis-van Creveld syndrome: common atrium, partial atrioventricular septal defect, and hypoplastic left ventricle.

Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Osaka Women's and Children's Hospital, Izumi, Osaka 594-1101, Japan.
Background: A partial atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) with a hypoplastic left ventricle and common atrium is a rare combination of cardiac anomalies that can be associated with Ellis-van Creveld (EVC) syndrome.
Case Summary: A female neonate with EVC syndrome was diagnosed with an unbalanced AVSD and hypoplastic left ventricle. Pulmonary artery banding and ductus ligation were performed at 23 days after birth.
