A case of multiple Glisson's capsule phleboliths is reported in a 29-year-old-woman who had portal vein obstruction with spontaneous shunting resulting in hepatic siderosis and cirrhosis. The phleboliths were visible as multiple linear calcifications on plain film and computed tomography. Diagnosis was established by surgical liver biopsy. The potential mechanisms of this unique entity is discussed.

Novel techniques of liver segmental and subsegmental pedicle anatomy from segment 1 to segment 8.

Background: Laparoscopic anatomical liver resection has become more challenging because some subsegmental Glissonean pedicles are hard to dissect. Here, we introduce how to dissect every (sub) segmental Glissonean pedicle from the first porta hepatis and perform standardized (sub) segmentectomy [from segment 1 (S1) to S8].
Aim: To summarize our methods of laparoscopic anatomical segmental and subsegmental liver resection.

Article Synopsis
- Tetralogy of Fallot is a common heart defect categorized as a "blue type," meaning it can cause cyanosis (bluish skin due to lack of oxygen).
- Surgical correction aims to close a hole between the heart's ventricles and rebuild the pathway for blood to flow from the right ventricle.
- The success of these surgeries is influenced by factors such as the patient's age, the materials used, and the size of the components involved, and some patients may need additional surgeries later on due to issues with the initial repair.
Migrating pseudolipoma of Glisson's capsule: A case report.

Department of Radiology, Third People's Hospital of Zigong, Sichuan Province, China.
Pseudolipoma of Glisson's capsule is a rare, benign subcapsular liver lesion that typically occurs in older adult men. It comprises degenerated fat tissue that likely originates from detached mesothelial appendages or degenerated liver lipomas. We report the case of a 58-year-old female patient with a gastric malignant tumor after admission.

The objective of this study is to investigate the surgical, clinical and pathological outcomes of left hemi-hepatectomy during cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in patients with primary ovarian cancer. The electronic medical charts of patients with primary ovarian cancer who received CRS including left hemi-hepatectomy from 2000 to 2023 were reviewed and retrospectively analyzed. A total of 17 patients underwent left hemi-hepatectomy for resection of a deep peritoneal implant in the round ligament of the liver during primary CRS.

Article Synopsis
- Spontaneously ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma (srHCC) is a serious condition with uncertain outcomes after surgery, leading researchers to analyze its prognosis compared to unruptured HCC.
- In a study of 86 patients who had surgery for HCC, 11 had srHCC, which was characterized by larger tumor sizes and higher rates of vascular invasion and Glisson capsule involvement.
- Results showed that 73% of srHCC patients experienced recurrence, with lower median recurrence-free and overall survival times compared to 45% recurrence in unruptured cases, indicating that srHCC leads to worse clinical outcomes.
