Background: Minimally invasive surgery for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains challenging, especially in advanced patients.
Patient And Method: A 66-year-old male was diagnosed with stage II ICC after a comprehensive evaluation and was scheduled for laparoscopic exploration and left hepatectomy.
Results: The pure laparoscopic left hepatectomy was completed in 240 min, employing a no-touch en bloc technique and lymphadenectomy skeletonization. The patient was discharged 6 days after the operation without any complications and received gemcitabine and cisplatin treatment postoperatively. There was no recurrence during 14 months of follow-up.
Conclusions: Our experience demonstrates that when utilizing the no-touch en bloc technique, standardized lymphadenectomy through skeletonization, and effective control of bleeding, surgeons with extensive expertise in laparoscopic hepatectomy can achieve results comparable to open surgery.

Background: Metabolic-bariatric surgery (MBS) transcends weight loss and offers wide-ranging health benefits, including positive effects on brain function. However, the mechanisms behind these effects remain unclear, particularly in the context of significant postoperative changes in the inflammatory profile characteristic of MBS. Understanding how inflammation influences postoperative brain function can enhance our decision-making on patient eligibility for MBS and create new opportunities to improve the outcomes of this popular treatment.
