Imaging often plays an important role in the management of patients who have been surgically treated for pituitary disease. The primary goals of the radiologist are to recognize normal postoperative findings, to distinguish iatrogenic changes in the sella and surrounding regions from residual tumor, and to detect surgical or therapy-related complications when apparent on imaging. Accurate assessment of the postoperative pituitary region requires an understanding of the normal sellar anatomy and of the common neurosurgical techniques applied to this region and familiarity with the appearance of this region in both the acute postoperative setting and also upon subsequent subacute and later examinations.

Preoperative Nutritional Status Influences Enteral Nutrition Weaning 6 Months Post-Surgery in Patients with Esophageal Cancer.
Asian Pac J Cancer Prev
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology and Resuscitology, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University, Okayama, Japan.
Objective: This study aimed to clarify whether nutritional status at admission affects enteral nutrition weaning 6 months after surgery in patients with esophageal cancer.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of 81 patients who underwent subtotal esophageal cancer resection between April 2014 and February 2016. The survey items were as follows: 1) sex, 2) age, 3) presence or absence of family members living together, 4) clinical stage, 5) surgical procedure, 6) reconstructed organs, 7) nutritional status at admission, 8) presence or absence of postoperative complications (anastomotic leakage, chylothorax, and recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis), and 9) presence or absence of treatment other than surgery (chemo- or radiotherapy).
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.
Preoperative predictive indicators for resolution of hypertension in patients with unilateral primary aldosteronism: development of a nomogram model.
Langenbecks Arch Surg
January 2025
Department of Urology, Qilu Hospital, Shandong University, No 107, Wenhuaxi Road, Jinan, 250012, PR China.
Background: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the leading surgically treatable cause of hypertension, with adrenalectomy as the definitive treatment for unilateral PA (UPA). However, some patients have persistent hypertension after surgery. This study aims to identify preoperative factors affecting surgical outcomes and develop a predictive model for postoperative hypertension resolution.

Department of General Surgery, Gansu Provincial Hospital, Lanzhou, 730000, China.
Background: In the last two decades, robotic-assisted gastrectomy has become a widely adopted surgical option for gastric cancer (GC) treatment. Despite its popularity, postoperative complications can significantly deteriorate patient quality of life and prognosis. Therefore, identifying risk factors for these complications is crucial for early detection and intervention.

Eur J Cardiothorac Surg
January 2025
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark.
Objectives: We previously did a randomized clinical trial of lobectomy by VATS or thoracotomy for early-stage lung cancer and found that patients who underwent VATS had less postoperative pain and better quality of life compared with thoracotomy. VATS has since been regarded the preferred surgical method for early-stage lung cancer. It is assumed that long-term survival is not influenced by surgical approach, but this assumption primarily rests on non-randomized comparative studies.
