Objectives: the impact of handgrip strength (HGS) on postoperative complications and long-term survival following hepatectomy in patients with primary liver cancer (PLC) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of HGS on postoperative complications and overall survival in patients with PLC.
Methods: in total, 298 patients with PLC who underwent liver resection were included in the prospective cohort study. Baseline, surgical, and histopathological factors were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses to identify risk factors for postoperative complications and mortality.
Results: the incidence of major postoperative complications was 40.3 % and 24.6 % in the low and high HGS groups, respectively. During the median follow-up period of 28.8 months, 57 patients (19.1 %) died. patients with low HGS demonstrated a significantly shorter median overall survival compared to those with high HGS (p < 0.001). Short-term analysis revealed that low HGS (p = 0.022) and intraoperative blood loss (≥ 200 ml) (p < 0.001) were independently associated with postoperative complications. Furthermore, low HGS was identified as an independent predictor of poor overall survival in long-term survival analysis (p = 0.005).
Conclusions: preoperative HGS emerged as an independent factor for postoperative complications and a prognostic indicator of poor long-term outcomes in patients with PLC.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication after lung transplantation, but the reported incidence varies in the literature. No data on AKI have been published from the Swedish lung transplantation program.
Methods: The aim of our study was to investigate the incidence, perioperative risk factors, and effects of early postoperative acute kidney injury (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes [KDIGO] criteria) after lung transplantation.

Purpose: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to establish the relationship between the number of procedures a hospital or surgeon performs with outcomes following revision knee replacement (RevKR).
Methods: MEDLINE and Embase were searched using Ovid silver platter up to December 2024 for randomised controlled trials and cohort studies that reported RevKR volumes, in at least two categories, performed by hospitals and surgeons and their relationship to patient and provider level outcomes. The primary outcome was re-revision rate.

Connective tissue disorders are known to cause cardiac and vascular complications. We present the case of a 37-year-old female patient with a rare Ehlers Danlos/Osteogenesis Imperfecta Overlap Syndrome, referred to cardiac surgery with aortic valve regurgitation, who underwent a successful Biological Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR). A multidisciplinary, patient-centered, heart-team approach is essential in managing patients with rare genetic disorders to optimize postoperative outcomes.

Background And Objective: The aim of our study was to compare assessment of PADUA and RENAL nephrometry scores and risk/complexity categories via two-dimensional (2D) imaging and three-dimensional virtual models (3DVM) in a large multi-institutional cohort of renal masses suitable for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), and evaluate the predictive role of these imaging approaches for postoperative complications.
Methods: Patients were prospectively enrolled from six international high-volume robotic centers, calculating PADUA and RENAL-nephrometry scores and their relative categories with 2D-imaging and 3DVMs. The concordance of nephrometry scores and categories between the two approaches was evaluated using χ tests and Cohen's κ coefficient.
