AI Article Synopsis
- The authors review the evolution of surgical practices, introducing "precision surgery" as a new approach to enhance patient outcomes through tailored techniques.
- Precision surgery focuses on optimizing therapeutic effectiveness, safety, and invasiveness, characterized by determinacy, predictability, controllability, integration, standardization, and individualization.
- The article illustrates how precision strategies can improve complex liver surgery by balancing tumor removal with liver function and suggests expanding this concept to other surgical fields.
Article Abstract
Continuous theoretical and technological progress in the face of increasing expectations for quality health care has transformed the surgical paradigm. The authors systematically review these historical trends and propose the novel paradigm of "precision surgery," featuring certainty-based practice to ensure the best result for each patient with multiobjective optimization of therapeutic effectiveness, surgical safety, and minimal invasiveness. The main characteristics of precision surgery may be summarized as determinacy, predictability, controllability, integration, standardization, and individualization. The strategy of precision in liver surgery is to seek a balance of maximizing the removal of the target lesion, while maximizing the functional liver remnant and minimizing surgical invasiveness. In this article, the authors demonstrate the application of precision approaches in specific settings in complex liver surgery. They propose that the concept of precision surgery should be considered for wider application in liver surgery and other fields as a step toward the ultimate goal of perfect surgery.

Mitochondrial dysfunction and lipid alterations in primary sclerosing cholangitis.
Scand J Gastroenterol
January 2025
Norwegian PSC Research Centre, Department of Transplantation Medicine, Division of Surgery, Inflammatory Diseases and Transplantation, Oslo University Hospital Rikshospitalet, Oslo, Norway.
Objectives: Indications of mitochondrial dysfunction are commonly seen in liver diseases, but data are scarce in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Analyzing circulating and liver-resident molecules indirectly reflecting mitochondrial dysfunction, we aimed to comprehensively characterize this deficit in PSC, and whether this was PSC specific or associated with cholestasis.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively included plasma from 191 non-transplant patients with large-duct PSC and 100 healthy controls and explanted liver tissue extracts from 24 PSC patients and 18 non-cholestatic liver disease controls.
Two-Stage Total Laparoscopic Liver Resection at a Tertiary Center in Saudi Arabia: A Report of Two Cases.
Cureus

Department of Surgery, King Saud University, College of Medicine, Riyadh, SAU.
Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is a minimally invasive surgical approach. Initially utilized for low-risk procedures, such as the resection of benign lesions, now LLR has evolved to include more complex operations such as metastatic lesions. We present in this article two cases with liver metastasis who underwent a successful two-stage total LLR: a 57-year-old man diagnosed with sigmoid cancer and liver metastasis and a 36-year-old man diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor and liver metastasis.

Department of Pediatrics, Ningde Municipal Hospital of Ningde Normal University, Ningde, China.
The prevalence of childhood obesity is rising globally, with some obese children progressing to develop metabolic syndrome (MS). However, the specific differences between these groups remain unclear. To investigate the differences in gut microbiota, we conducted physiological and biochemical assessments, alongside 16S rRNA sequencing, in a cohort of 32 children from Southeastern China, which included 4 normal-weight children, 5 with mild obesity, 9 with moderate obesity, 9 with severe obesity, and 5 with metabolic syndrome.

Department of Immunology and Rheumatology, The Affiliated Huaian No.1 People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Huaian, Jiangsu, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: Sepsis-associated liver injury (SALI) leads to increased mortality in sepsis patients, yet no specialized tools exist for early risk assessment. This study aimed to develop and validate a risk prediction model for early identification of SALI before patients meet full diagnostic criteria.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 415 sepsis patients admitted to ICU from January 2019 to January 2022.
Transarterial therapy combined with bevacizumab plus immune checkpoint inhibitors as a neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced HCC.
Front Immunol
January 2025
Department of Liver Surgery, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.
Background: Transarterial therapy (TAT), bevacizumab (Bev), and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have individually exhibited efficacy in treating advanced-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of the combination of these three treatments as a neoadjuvant modality in patients with locally advanced HCC.
Methods: The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS).
