Background: Many centers use the Pringle's maneuver during liver resections. Since this maneuver might impair healing of bowel anastomoses, we evaluated its influence on the healing of colonic anastomosis in rats.

Methods: Male Wistar rats underwent median laparotomy and sigmoid resection with end-to-end anastomosis under inhalation anesthesia. Thereafter, rats received a 25 minutes Pringle's maneuver (PM, group 1) or were kept under anesthesia for the same period of time (group 2). The anastomotic bursting pressure (BP) was measured on postoperative days (POD) 3, 6 and 9. Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining was used for histopathological evaluation of the anastomosis. The Mann-Whitney U and χ -tests were used, p<0.05 values were considered significant.

Results: All animals (n=48) lost body weight (BW) until POD3 (95.2% vs. 85.7%, p=0.003), and BW remained lower after PM (106.2% vs. 92.8%, p=0.001). The anastomotic BP was lower in group 1 compared to group 2 on POD 3 (116mmHg vs. 176.28mmHg, p=0.001), POD 6 (182.8mmHg vs. 213mmHg, p=0.029) and POD 9 (197.2mmHg vs. 251.7mmHg, p=0.009), and mortality was higher in group 1 (1 vs. 7, p=0.022).

Conclusions: Pringle's maneuver increases anastomotic complications in rats. Therefore, a Pringle's maneuver should be avoided during simultaneous liver and colorectal surgery.

Hepatic pregnancy, an exceedingly rare subtype of abdominal ectopic pregnancy, remains clinically challenging due to its infrequency, diverse presentations, and diagnostic difficulties. We report the clinical course, diagnostic journey and treatment of a woman with a primary hepatic pregnancy. The patient presented with acute pain in the right hypochondrium and vomiting.

Background: Internal bleeding is a common and serious complication in trauma patients. The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) and the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) have developed comprehensive guidelines to standardize and optimize the care of these patients. In Germany, abdominal injuries are involved in around 20% of all polytraumas, often caused by falls or road traffic accidents.

Article Synopsis
  • Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is challenging and requires skilled scopists, with this study being the first to evaluate their impact on surgical outcomes during the procedure.
  • The study included patients who underwent LLR over five years and categorized scopists into experts (10+ surgeries) and beginners (<10 surgeries) to analyze the effects of their skills on perioperative outcomes.
  • Results showed no baseline differences, but beginner scopists caused significantly longer interruptions during surgery due to errors, suggesting that their lack of experience can increase stress for surgeons and extend operation times.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of using the Pringle maneuver with a bulldog clamp during laparoscopic liver resection.
  • 80 patients were randomly assigned to either the intraperitoneal (IPM) or extraperitoneal (EPM) Pringle maneuver groups, measuring various preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative liver function indices.
  • Results showed that IPM had a shorter blocking and operation time, lower inflammatory response, less liver function injury, and quicker recovery compared to EPM, making it a safe and effective technique.

Appropriate surgical techniques for controlling bleeding and preserving residual liver function are key to the success of laparoscopic liver resection. This study aims to evaluate the application effect of intraoperative ultrasound in the Pringle maneuver of laparoscopic liver resection. Between January 2022 and June 2023, 100 patients underwent laparoscopic liver resection and were randomly allocated to receive application of intraoperative ultrasound for Pringle maneuver (intraoperative ultrasound group, = 50) or conventional Pringle maneuver (conventional group, = 50).
