Purpose: To compare outcomes of LLR in VI/VII of the liver in Left-lateral Decubitus Jackknife Position (LDJP) and traditional Supine Position (SP). We used propensity score matching (PSM) to analyze clinical outcomes.

Patients & Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed patients undergoing LLR for liver tumors in segments VI and/or VII at Shandong Provincial Hospital from 2018 to 2023. A total of 218 cases were included (LDJP, n = 94; SP, n = 124). Matched 1:1 PSM groups were created and clinical indicators compared between groups.

Results: 218 LLR patients, 94 LDJP and 124 supine. After 1:1 PSM, each group had 62 patients. No significant differences in clinical or laboratory parameters. All surgeries were successful, 1 LDJP conversion to open resection and 4 SP conversions (P = 0.375). LDJP average surgery duration: 220.6 ± 29.9 min, supine position: 262.6 ± 35.6 min (P < 0.001). LDJP perioperative blood loss: 169.0 ± 74.4 mL, supine position: 231.6 ± 84.6 mL (P < 0.001). Four LDJP patients required intraoperative blood transfusion compared to 16 supine position patients (P = 0.012). All cases had negative margins postoperatively. No significant differences in postoperative complications (8 LDJP vs 9 supine, P = 0.675) or length of hospital stay (25 LDJP vs 26 supine, ≥ 7 days) (P = 1.000).

Conclusion: Laparoscopic partial hepatectomy in LDJP for hepatic VI/VII tumor safe and feasible. Reduces operative time, blood loss, transfusion requirement, improving outcomes.

Lateral decubitus: its influence on hemodynamic and respiratory function during retroperitoneal robotic assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (R-RALP) in children.

J Robot Surg

January 2025

Department of Pediatric Anesthesia and Intensive Care, Necker-Enfants Malades University Hospital, AP-HP Centre, Université Paris Cité, 149, Rue de Sèvres 75015, Paris, France.

Retroperitoneal robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (R-RALP) is the commonest urologic procedure performed in children, entailing retroperitoneal CO2 insufflation and lateral decubitus, whose effects on cardiopulmonary variables are poorly known. We, therefore, studied hemodynamic and respiratory changes due to CO2 insufflation and lateral decubitus in children undergoing R-RALP and their effects on regional tissue oxygenation. Between 1/2021 and 7/2024, children affected by ureteropelvic joint obstruction (UPJO) underwent a pyeloplasty by R-RALP at Necker Enfants Malades Hospital (Paris, France), using a standardized surgical technique and a lung-protecting anesthetic protocol aimed to prevent hypercarbia.

Lip ulcers associated with endotracheal tube fixation are a known complication in adults, but their prevalence in neonates and preterm infants remains unclear. We report a case of a right oral commissure ulcer that developed during endotracheal tube fixation at the right oral commissure and left lateral decubitus positioning in an extremely preterm infant with unilateral pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE). A male infant was born at 24 weeks and four days of gestation, weighing 696 gm.

Article Synopsis
  • Pancreatic cystic lesions are becoming more common due to improved imaging techniques, necessitating thorough evaluation since some may be cancerous.
  • The study analyzed patients with persistent abdominal pain at a military hospital over six months, leading to 88 cystic lesions identified through endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and further assessment with fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA).
  • Results showed that most patients had a history of pancreatitis, with the majority of lesions located in the pancreatic body, primarily involving pancreatic pseudocysts, and all EUS procedures were successfully completed.

Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, Shiga University of Medical Science, Setatsukinowa-cho, Otsu, Shiga, 520-2192, Japan.

Background: Atrio-esophageal fistula is a rare but still a catastrophic complication of radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation. We report a successful case of atrio-esophageal fistula with right posterolateral thoracotomy and right femoral cannulation of cardiopulmonary bypass.

Case Presentation: A 67-year-old man underwent radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation.
