Introduction: Intraoperative blood loss has been identified as one of the major mortality predictors for liver surgery. Different strategies have been used in the past to minimize blood loss during resection. A new method using heat coagulative necrosis in healthy tissue at the resection plane to achieve a bloodless resection has been described 3 years ago and has already gained acceptance for peripheral resections. A further developmental stage of this method is now available with the so-called Habib 4x sealer. So far, only resections ranging from segmentectomies to hemihepatectomies are reported.
Materials And Methods: In the case reported here, the new method was challenged to perform an extended hepatic resection in a patient suffering from colorectal liver metastases. The resection was performed in a hybrid technique of regular hilar preparation and parenchymal dissection using the sealer.
Conclusion: The method showed to be safe and efficient even for an extended resection.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common primary liver cancer, is a highly aggressive malignancy with limited viable therapeutic options. For early HCC, resection surgery is currently the most effective treatment. However, in advanced stages, resection alone does not sufficiently address the disease, so finding a method with a better prognosis is necessary.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most common primary liver tumor and remains a fatal malignancy in most patients. Only 20% to 30% of patients can be treated with potentially curative surgical resection. Local therapies such as radioembolization and hepatic arterial perfusion may be a more effective treatment strategy.

The present study aimed to compare the long-term survival outcomes of hepatic resection (HR) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in patients with single small (≤2 cm) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This retrospective study enrolled patients with a single small HCC measuring 2 cm or smaller underwent HR or RFA as their initial treatment. Overall survival (OS) was significantly higher in the HR group than in the RFA group, while no significant difference was observed in recurrence free survival (RFS) between the two groups.

The presence of an aberrant right hepatic artery (a-RHA) could influence the oncological and postoperative outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). A comparative study was conducted, including patients who underwent PD with a-RHA or with normal RHA anatomy. The primary endpoints were R1 resection in all margins (pancreatic, anterior, posterior, superior mesenteric artery, and portal groove), overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS).

We report a neonate evaluated for hepatomegaly during hospitalisation and was diagnosed to have hepatoblastoma, an uncommon childhood malignancy. The presence of dysmorphism, macrosomia and congenital heart defect led to the suspicion of congenital overgrowth conditions. The genetic evaluation revealed a pathogenic variant, conclusive of Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome type 1 (SGBS1).
