Recurrent liver metastases of colorectal carcinoma are frequent. The repeat hepatectomy is superior to other therapeutic options. In about 20% of patients with recurrent liver metastases a complete resection (R0) is possible. The morbidity of repeat hepatectomy is similar to that of first hepatectomy. The 5-year survival rate after repeat hepatectomy ranges between 30 and 40%. Often in the follow-up additional operations become necessary for extrahepatic recurrencies. For determination of the optimal therapy an interdisciplinary approach must be chosen.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the feasibility and short-term and intermediate-term technical success rate of the concept of systematic selective hepatic vein (HV) reconstruction for parenchyma-sparing hepatectomies (PSHs) in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) in accordance with stage 2a of the IDEAL framework.

Design: The prospective case series of patients deemed eligible and operated on according to the concept.

Setting: All patients were treated by a single surgical team in three hospitals in Ukraine from June 2022 to November 2023.

Background: Treatment of colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) includes several options with impact on the patient journey and may depend on presentation and patient characteristics. The aim of the study was to investigate how treatment sequencing in index hepatectomy for synchronous or metachronous CRLM may potentially impact treatment pathways and oncological outcomes.

Methods: An observational cohort study (ACROBATICC; NCT0176813) of patients having surgery for CRLM.

Objectives: Laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) is a procedure with a high rate of postoperative adhesions, which can lead to complications such as bowel obstruction and subsequent surgical problems, making anti-adhesion measures important. Various anti-adhesion materials are already on the market and have shown efficacy, but dextrin hydrogel spray (AdSpray™), an anti-adhesion material launched in 2017, has not yet been reported in the field of gynecology, although there are papers showing its usefulness in the surgical field such as repeat hepatectomy and ileostomy closure. Thereby, we investigated the postoperative status of AdSpray™ in LM.

Article Synopsis
  • This study compares the effectiveness of repeat laparoscopic hepatectomy (r-LH) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treating patients with recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (RHCC) based on clinical outcomes and survival rates.
  • Data from 272 RHCC patients were analyzed, revealing that while RFA resulted in shorter hospital stays and fewer complications, r-LH significantly improved overall and disease-free survival rates.
  • Particularly, patients with solitary tumors or those located near critical structures benefitted more from r-LH, especially when tumors were 5 cm or smaller, suggesting it as a more favorable treatment option in these cases.

Background: Colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) is classified into technical and oncologic categories, with recommended treatments for each resectability category. However, the classification of recurrent CLM has not been established to date.

Methods: This study evaluated patients with CLM who underwent initial liver resection between 2006 and 2020 and subsequently experienced liver recurrence.
