Background: The effects of preoperative lipiodolization (LPD) for large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are controversial.
Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken for 137 patients with initial solitary resectable HCC ≥ 5 cm who underwent hepatic resection between 1995 and 2008. Forty-two patients underwent preoperative LPD, and clinical data and prognosis were compared to those of patients without preoperative LPD (n=95).
Results: Surgical results of the LPD group, such as surgical time, surgical blood loss, and the mortality and morbidity rate were statistically equal to those of the nonLPD group. The disease-free and overall survival of the LPD group were significantly better than those of the nonLPD group, and early tumor recurrence within 1-year of the LPD group was significantly lower than that of the nonLPD group. According to the multivariate analysis, the absence of preoperative LPD was an independent poor prognostic factor of patients with hepatic resection for HCC ≥ 5 cm.
Conclusion: Preoperative LPD suppressed early tumor recurrence and improved patient survival after hepatic resection for HCC ≥ 5 cm.

Diagnostic utility of tear meniscus height measurement using anterior segment optical coherence tomography for lacrimal passage disorder before cataract surgery.
Sci Rep
October 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Japanese Red Cross Society Osaka Hospital, Osaka, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of measuring tear meniscus height (TMH) using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) for diagnosing lacrimal passage disorder (LPD) in cataract surgery patients.
- Out of 66 patients, only 12 (9.4%) had LPD, and those with LPD had a significantly higher average TMH compared to those without the disorder.
- The optimal TMH cutoff value for detecting LPD was found to be 401.0 μm, demonstrating a sensitivity of 58.3% and specificity of 83.0%, indicating AS-OCT's usefulness in preoperative assessments.
Causes and predictors of unplanned reoperations within 30 days post laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy: a comprehensive analysis.

Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Ningbo Medical Center Lihuili Hospital, Ningbo University, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify risk factors and causes for unplanned reoperations within 30 days following laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD), reviewing data from 311 patients at a Chinese medical center.
- Out of these patients, 7.4% (23 individuals) underwent unplanned reoperations primarily due to postoperative bleeding, with other causes like anastomotic leakage and infections also noted.
- Key independent risk factors for these reoperations included low pre-operative serum prealbumin, high CRP levels on post-operative day 7, vascular reconstruction during surgery, soft pancreatic texture, and a narrow main pancreatic duct diameter.
Identifying the risk factors for pancreatic fistula after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients with pancreatic cancer.

Department of Pancreatic Surgery, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, Shanghai 200032, China.
Background: Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) is a surgical procedure for treating pancreatic cancer; however, the risk of complications remains high owing to the wide range of organs involved during the surgery and the difficulty of anastomosis. Pancreatic fistula (PF) is a major complication that not only increases the risk of postoperative infection and abdominal hemorrhage but may also cause multi-organ failure, which is a serious threat to the patient's life. This study hypothesized the risk factors for PF after LPD.

To compare the perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic duodenal-preserving pancreatic head resection(LDPPHR) with laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy(LPD) in the treatment of borderline and benign diseases of the pancreatic head. This is a retrospective cohort study. Perioperative data from 87 patients with non-malignant pancreatic head diseases who underwent LDPPHR or LPD were retrospectively collected in the Department of Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery,Tongji Hospital,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2020 to December 2022.

Background: SMA-first approach in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) has been widely applied in open surgery as well as laparoscopy. Finding the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), inferior pancreatoduodenal artery (IPDA), first jejunal artery (J1A) has become a great challenge in laparoscopic PD (LPD). Meanwhile, exposing the midde colic artery (MCA) might be a feasible approach to determine SMA, IPDA, and J1A.
