Background: Repeat hepatectomy has been proven to be an effective treatment in patients with recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (RHCC). However, for RHCC, it is still controversial whether laparoscopic hepatectomy is superior to conventional ones. The present meta-analysis was carried out to investigate the safety and overall effect of laparoscopic repeat hepatectomy (LRH) to open repeat hepatectomy (ORH) for patients with RHCC.
Methods: A meta-analysis was registered at PROSPERO, and the registration number is CRD42021257569. PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE were searched based on a defined search strategy to identify eligible studies before 25 April 2022. Data on operative times, bleeding volume, overall complications, 90-day mortality, blood transfusion, length of stay, overall survival rate, and long-term recurrence-free survival rate were subjected to meta-analysis.
Results: Overall, we identified nine studies of LRH versus ORH enrolling a total of 945 patients (460 and 485 underwent LRH and ORH, respectively). The present meta-analysis revealed non-significant differences in operative time, blood transfusion, overall complications, 90-day mortality, 3-year overall survival rate, 5-year overall survival rate, and long-term recurrence-free survival rate between the two groups. Alternatively, comparing LRH with ORH, LRH has less bleeding volume (p < 0.001) and a shorter length of stay (p = 0.005).
Conclusion: LRH is a feasible and effective treatment strategy for RHCC.

Development of a LASSO machine learning algorithm-based model for postoperative delirium prediction in hepatectomy patients.
BMC Surg
January 2025
Department of Anaesthesiology, Central People's Hospital of Zhanjiang, Zhanjiang, Guangdong, China.
Objective: The objective of this study was to develop and validate a clinically applicable nomogram for predicting the risk of delirium following hepatectomy.
Methods: We applied the LASSO regression model to identify the independent risk factors associated with POD. Subsequently, we utilized R software to develop and validate a nomogram model capable of accurately predicting the incidence of POD.
Initial experience of parenchyma-sparing liver resection with systematic selective hepatic vein reconstruction for colorectal metastases.

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.
Evaluation of Postoperative Adhesions in a Subsequent Cesarean Section Following the Use of Dextrin Hydrogel Spray as Adhesion Barrier for Laparoscopic Myomectomy.
Gynecol Minim Invasive Ther
October 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Teine Keijinkai Hospital, Sapporo, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) is prone to postoperative adhesions, leading to complications such as bowel obstruction, which emphasizes the need for anti-adhesion measures.
- AdSpray™, a dextrin hydrogel launched in 2017, has not been widely studied in gynecology despite showing promise in other surgical fields; this study examines its effectiveness in LM.
- In a report of 24 cases, only 16.7% had adhesions post-surgery, and there were no significant adverse effects linked to AdSpray™, suggesting it could be a useful option in preventing adhesions.
Repeat laparoscopic hepatectomy versus radiofrequency ablation for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma: A multicenter, propensity score matching analysis.

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.
