Objectives: To evaluate the surgical techniques and feasibility for resecting the hepatic caudate lobe including the paracaval portion.
Methods: Right posterior approach for right caudate lobectomy and left lateral approach for total caudate lobectomy were taken with or without some kinds of preparatory segmentectomies.
Results: Seven right and 6 total caudate lobectomies, all including paracaval portion, ware accomplished without operative death. The mean intraoperative blood loss was 896.15 (250 - 2 000) ml and the mean portal triad clamping time was 25.4 (10 - 83) min. The postoperative course was uneventful for all the cases, and the mean hospital stay was 12 (9 - 22) days.
Conclusions: Although being complicated anatomically, resection of the hepatic caudate lobe including the paracaval portion is feasible with a high safety.

Virtual Chest Radiographs Developed From Computed Tomography Images for Differentiating Central Venous Versus Misplaced Arterial Lines and for Training Radiologists.
J Comput Assist Tomogr
November 2024
From the Department of Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine.
Objective: Radiographic findings to identify central venous catheter misplacement in the arteries, which can cause lethal complications, have not been fully evaluated, and its training is difficult because it is rare. The purpose of this study is to clarify radiographic findings for differentiating central venous and misplaced arterial lines using virtual chest radiographs and elucidate their usefulness in training radiologists.
Methods: This retrospective study included 150 patients (mean age, 67 [SD, ±12] years; 97 men) who underwent colon cancer surgery between January 2018 and December 2020.

Article Synopsis
- Anastomosing hemangioma (AH) is a rare benign vascular tumor often confused with malignant tumors due to its similar histological features.
- A case study involving a 64-year-old man showed that despite imaging suggesting a paraganglioma after an accident, further tests and surgery revealed it was actually an AH.
- The report emphasizes the importance of distinguishing AH from malignancies to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatments, highlighting the need for careful evaluation through imaging and histopathology.
Retroperitoneal Fibrosis: A Puzzle of Elusive Causal Link.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare condition characterized by the presence of fibro-inflammatory tissue surrounding the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries, often leading to the involvement of adjacent organs such as the ureters and inferior vena cava. We present a case report of a 56-year-old Caucasian woman with a complex medical history, including Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy (31 years before), a significant smoking history, and a current presentation of acute kidney injury with oliguria, edema, and hypertension. Initial diagnostic considerations included rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, supported by clinical and imaging findings.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the outcomes and recurrence patterns in clinically node-negative patients with renal pelvic and ureteral tumors who underwent a specific surgical approach combining retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) and laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (LRNU).
- A total of 283 patients from three Japanese institutions participated, with 47 matched pairs of patients undergoing RPLND and those who did not for fair comparison.
- Results showed that the RPLND group had a significantly higher 5-year recurrence-free survival rate (86.8%) compared to the non-RPLND group (64.2%), suggesting that RPLND reduces distant recurrence effectively, although cancer-specific survival differences were not statistically significant.
