AI Article Synopsis
- Repeat hepatectomy is a viable option for treating intrahepatic recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma, but the survival benefits are not well understood.
- A study analyzed patients who underwent repeat hepatectomy, distinguishing between early and late recurrences to assess long-term outcomes.
- Results showed that patients with early recurrence had significantly lower overall and disease-free survival rates compared to those with late recurrence, indicating that early recurrence is linked to poorer prognosis.
Article Abstract
Background: Repeat hepatectomy is a feasible treatment modality for intrahepatic recurrence after hepatectomy of hepatocellular carcinoma, yet the survival benefit remains ill-defined. The objective of the current study was to define long-term, oncologic outcomes after repeat hepatectomy among patients with early and late recurrence.
Methods: Patients undergoing curative-intent repeat hepatectomy for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma were identified using a multi-intuitional database. Early and late recurrence was defined by setting 1 year after initial hepatectomy as the cutoff value. Patient clinical characteristics, overall survival, and disease-free survival were compared among patients with early and late recurrence before and after propensity score matching.
Results: Among all the patients, 81 had early recurrence and 129 had late recurrence from which 74 matched pairs were included in the propensity score matching analytic cohort. Before propensity score matching, 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival after resection of an early recurrence were 41.7% and 17.9%, respectively, which were worse compared with patients who had resection of a late recurrence (57.0% and 39.4%, both P < .01). After propensity score matching, 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival among patients with early recurrence were worse compared with patients with late recurrence (41.0% and 19.2% vs 64.3% and 43.2%, both P < .01). After adjustment for other confounding factors on multivariable Cox-regression analysis, early recurrence remained independently associated with decreased overall survival and disease-free survival (hazard ratio 2.22, 95% confidence interval 1.35-3.34, P = .001; hazard ratio 1.86, 95% confidence 1.26-2.74, P = .002).
Conclusion: Repeat hepatectomy for early recurrence was associated with worse overall survival and disease-free survival compared with late recurrence. These data may help inform patients and selection of patients being considered for repeat hepatectomy of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the feasibility and short-term and intermediate-term technical success rate of the concept of systematic selective hepatic vein (HV) reconstruction for parenchyma-sparing hepatectomies (PSHs) in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) in accordance with stage 2a of the IDEAL framework.
Design: The prospective case series of patients deemed eligible and operated on according to the concept.
Setting: All patients were treated by a single surgical team in three hospitals in Ukraine from June 2022 to November 2023.

Background: Treatment of colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) includes several options with impact on the patient journey and may depend on presentation and patient characteristics. The aim of the study was to investigate how treatment sequencing in index hepatectomy for synchronous or metachronous CRLM may potentially impact treatment pathways and oncological outcomes.
Methods: An observational cohort study (ACROBATICC; NCT0176813) of patients having surgery for CRLM.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Teine Keijinkai Hospital, Sapporo, Japan.
Objectives: Laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) is a procedure with a high rate of postoperative adhesions, which can lead to complications such as bowel obstruction and subsequent surgical problems, making anti-adhesion measures important. Various anti-adhesion materials are already on the market and have shown efficacy, but dextrin hydrogel spray (AdSpray™), an anti-adhesion material launched in 2017, has not yet been reported in the field of gynecology, although there are papers showing its usefulness in the surgical field such as repeat hepatectomy and ileostomy closure. Thereby, we investigated the postoperative status of AdSpray™ in LM.

Article Synopsis
- This study compares the effectiveness of repeat laparoscopic hepatectomy (r-LH) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treating patients with recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (RHCC) based on clinical outcomes and survival rates.
- Data from 272 RHCC patients were analyzed, revealing that while RFA resulted in shorter hospital stays and fewer complications, r-LH significantly improved overall and disease-free survival rates.
- Particularly, patients with solitary tumors or those located near critical structures benefitted more from r-LH, especially when tumors were 5 cm or smaller, suggesting it as a more favorable treatment option in these cases.

Background: Colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) is classified into technical and oncologic categories, with recommended treatments for each resectability category. However, the classification of recurrent CLM has not been established to date.
Methods: This study evaluated patients with CLM who underwent initial liver resection between 2006 and 2020 and subsequently experienced liver recurrence.
