Background: Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) develops with complete or incomplete obstruction of the hepatic veins (HV), the super hepatic inferior vena cava (IVC), or both. Various methods have been reported regarding the treatment of BCS. In this article, we present our preliminary experience with radical surgery in the treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome under genuine direct vision.
Methods: In 13 patients aged from 17 to 48 years, the disease lasted from 3 months to 5 years. Membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava (IVC) was observed in 3 patients, right hepatic venous (HV) membrane in 1, IVC membrane with distal thrombosis in 6, long-segment thrombosis of the IVC in 2, and IVC thrombosis caused by retroperitoneal tumor extending to the right atrium in 1.
Results: All lesions were successfully resected. Extracorporeal circulation was used in one patient, and the cell saver in 2 patients. No blood transfusion was given except for 3 patients receiving blood transfusion of 2000, 400, and 400 ml, respectively. One patient died of renal failure during the postoperative period. Signs and symptoms disappeared after the operation in the remaining patients.
Conclusion: This new radical surgery gives access to the lesions under clear direct vision in further facilitating the correction needed.

Background: Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are fundamental to evidence-based medicine, but their real-world impact on clinical practice often remains unmonitored. Leveraging large-scale real-world data can enable systematic monitoring of RCT effects. We aimed to develop a reproducible framework using real-world data to assess how major RCTs influence medical practice, using two pivotal surgical RCTs in gynaecologic oncology as an example-the LACC (Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer) and LION (Lymphadenectomy in Ovarian Neoplasms) trials.

Patient engagement and shared decision-making (SDM) between patients and clinicians is the foundation of patient-centered care. It aims to reach a treatment option that fits the patient's preference and is guideline-concordant. We sought to evaluate the possible causes and outcomes of patient's non-guideline-concordant care choices.

Rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are often asymptomatic and may be detected as giant tumors. This may require highly invasive surgery for radical resection. Here, we describe a 74-year-old man with a locally advanced non-metastatic GIST in the right anterolateral wall of the lower rectum.

Patients with prostate cancer are often in psychological distress and pain preoperatively. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of preoperative anxiety, depression and pain on the quality of postoperative recovery and acute postoperative pain after radical prostatectomy. One hundred and sixty patients scheduled for open or laparoscopic radical prostatectomy were enrolled in a prospective observational study.
