Background: Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is a surgical procedure with varying degrees of difficulty depending on tumor status and surgical technique. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between surgical difficulty levels and outcomes of LLR, particularly portal vein thrombosis (PVT).
Methods: We performed LLRs in 214 patients between January 2009 and December 2022.

Unlabelled: People with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) experience difficulties in self-management. One of the variables involved is the low level of health literacy (HL) which corresponds to the degree to which people access, understand, evaluate and use information to engage with health demands in different contexts, in order to promote and maintain good health.
Hypothesis: People diagnosed with diabetes mellitus who participate in an intervention to increase their level of health literacy improve their metabolic compensation measured in HBA1c.
