A limited liver resection was performed in two patients with cirrhosis and a hepatocellular carcinoma situated in segment VIII (anterosuperior subsegment of the right lobe). One of the patient had previously bled from esophageal varices. Resection of segment VIII was performed following the anatomical planes of section after complete mobilization of the right lobe of the liver. Both patients were alive and free of recurrence 14 and 30 months after surgery. Hepatocellular carcinomas are thus treatable by limited anatomic liver resection even when they are situated in the vicinity of the major hepatic veins and the vena cava.

Background: Taylor and Palmer introduced an angiosome (vascular) concept in reconstructive plastic surgery in 1987. The angiosome is considered a segment of a nerve (cranial or peripheral nerve) supplied by a primary source of blood vessels.
Purpose: To observe the arteries supplying the vestibulocochlear nerves (VIII) from the brainstem till their termination.

Introduction: The brainstem vestibular nuclei neurons receive synaptic inputs from inner ear acceleration-sensing hair cells, cerebellar output neurons, and ascending signals from spinal proprioceptive-related neurons. The lateral (LVST) and medial (MVST) vestibulospinal (VS) tracts convey their coded signals to the spinal circuits to rapidly counter externally imposed perturbations to facilitate stability and provide a framework for self-generated head movements.
Methods: The present study describes the morphological characteristics of intraaxonally recorded and labeled VS neurons monosynaptically connected to the 8th nerve.

Background: Laparoscopic hepatectomy is a proven safe and technically feasible approach for liver tumor resection, but laparoscopic anatomical SVIII resection (LASVIIIR) remains rarely reported due to poor accessibility, difficult exposure, and the deep-lying Glissonean pedicle. This study examined the safety, feasibility, and perioperative outcomes of LASVIIIR a middle hepatic fissure approach at our institution.
Aim: To investigate the safety, feasibility, and perioperative outcomes of LASVIIIR a middle hepatic fissure approach at our institution.
