Background: The liver is known to regenerate following partial hepatectomy (PH), but little is known about the timing and completeness of regeneration relative to the resected volume. This study examined whether liver volume regeneration following PH and its completeness 6 months after surgery is related to the resected volume.
Methods: A consecutive series of patients undergoing PH were included. All patients underwent preoperative computed tomography (CT) before and 7 days after surgery. Additional scans were performed 6 months after operation. Preoperative total liver volume (TLV), resected volume, future liver remnant (FLR) and liver remnant (LR) volumes were measured on CT images by freehand drawing of regions of interest in the portal venous phase on 2-mm thick slices. Regeneration indices were calculated at 7 days (RI(early)) and 6 months (RI(total)) using the formula 100 × (LR volume-FLR volume)/FLR volume. Patients were classified into five groups based on resected volume as a percentage of TLV: 0-19, 20-39, 40-59, 60-69 and at least 70 per cent in groups 1-5 respectively.
Results: Ninety-one patients were enrolled. RI(early) varied from 11 to 66 per cent in groups 1-5 (P < 0·001). RI(early) did not increase linearly with increasing resection volume and a plateau was seen from group 3 and above. In contrast, RI(total) was related linearly to resected volume; values ranged from 21 to 233 per cent in groups 1-5 (P < 0·001). At 7 days, LR volume represented 97, 87, 70, 58 and 41 per cent of TLV in groups 1-5. At 6 months, respective values were 102, 99, 87, 82 and 91 per cent.
Conclusion: Early postoperative liver volume regeneration was not related linearly to resected volume. At 6 months after surgery, RI was related linearly to resected volume, but LRs had not yet regenerated to preoperative TLV.

Background: The effectiveness of the Dutch breast cancer screening programme depends on the quality of the full trajectory, from the first screening to the final treatment of a screen-detected breast cancer. Interhospital variation in breast cancer treatment has been explored by several studies, however, not specifically in a screen-detected breast cancer population. The current study compares the treatment strategies of women with screen-detected breast cancer between hospitals in the South of the Netherlands.

This report presents the case of a benign metanephric stromal tumor that occurred in the kidney of a 5-year-old boy and in which differentiation from a nephroblastoma was successful. Radiological assessment played the decisive role in this case, as the low initial volume, a high apparent diffusion coefficient, and lack of rapid tumor growth were considered atypical for a nephroblastoma. The boy underwent successful kidney-preserving resection without neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and intraoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination helped to accurately define the tumor margins.

Introduction: In this single-center retrospective analysis, we present case data and insights gathered over the past eight years. Additionally, we computed postnatal, pre-therapy lesion-to-lung ratios of Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformations (CPAMs) to retrospectively assess potential outcome prediction using lesion-to-lung ratios.
Methods: Data were collected between 2015 and 2022.

Objective: A simple and minimally invasive combined procedure, including transconjunctival orbital fat removal and transcutaneous resected orbital fat injection, was performed based on the anatomical characteristics of the lower eyelids in our young Chinese patients. Our study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of this procedure in our study population.
Methods: In our retrospective study, a total of 183 consecutive patients underwent a combination of traditional transconjunctival blepharoplasty and nanofat grafting between February 2020 and June 2024.

Supramaximal resection in glioblastoma, concerning non-contrast-enhancing (nCE) tumors, exhibited additional survival benefits. However, whether all patients can benefit from supramaximal resection of nCE tumors and the optimal resection target remains unclear, especially for the glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype under the new WHO CNS tumor classification. Clinical and surgical characteristics were collected from 155 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype from the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas, and a prospective cohort of 128 patients was enrolled for external validation.
