Background: Intraoperative hemorrhage is one of the major complications of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) and is mainly caused by technical difficulties of the surgical procedure besides primary liver diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and clinical effects of a novel proceduralized donor liver back-table preparation (DLBTP) technique for use in OLT.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted between January 2018 and June 2020 based on patients who had undergone OLT.

Robotic surgery is increasingly used in otolaryngology (ENT), particularly for complex head and neck procedures. It offers various advantages, including limited postoperative pain, excellent aesthetic results, better visualization in the surgical field, enhanced dexterity due to movement adjustment by the robotic system, and minimal complications and hospital stay. However, robotic systems' higher cost and limited availability are a burden for clinical applications.

Leachables in drug products and from medical devices can adversely affect patient health and thus must be identified and quantified. Accurate and protective quantitation in target analysis for leachables (and extractables as potential leachables) is accomplished via compound-specific calibration curves. Quantification in non-targeted analysis (NTA) is complicated by the variable relative response factors (RRFs) among and between individual leachables and the circumstance that the leachables are not known until the NTA is completed.
