Indications for and limitations of laparoscopic anatomical liver resection: assessment of postoperative complications stratified by complexity of liver resection.
Surg Endosc
January 2025
Department of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery, Osaka City General Hospital, 2-13-22 Miyakojima-Hondori, Miyakojima-Ku, Osaka, 534-0021, Japan.
Background: Although complex anatomical liver resections are more often being performed laparoscopically, the short-term outcomes following laparoscopic anatomical liver resection (LALR), its optimal indications, and limitations remain unclear. This study aimed to clarify the indications for and limitations of LALR by assessing the short-term outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective study included 233 patients who underwent LALR.
Robotic versus laparoscopic colorectal surgery for patients with obesity: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis.

January 2025
Division of General Surgery, Department of Surgery, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Background: Obesity poses significant challenges in colorectal surgery, affecting operative difficulty and postoperative recovery. The choice of minimally invasive approach for this patient population remains a challenge during preoperative planning. This review aims to provide an updated synthesis of studies comparing laparoscopic and robotic approaches for adult patients with obesity undergoing colorectal surgery.

Department of Anesthesiology, Faculty of Medicine, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai, Songkla, 90110, Thailand.
Background: A previous study showed that airway ultrasound, specifically the distance from the skin to the hyoid bone (DSHB), may be correlated with a higher risk of difficult mask ventilation (DMV). However, the study was conducted in Italy and lacks data for the Asian and Thai populations. This study aimed to predict DMV using pre-operative ultrasonography to measure the DSHB and from the skin to the thyroid isthmus (DSTI) in Thai patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia.

Lymph node sampling with endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) may affect treatment options for biliary tract cancers. Our aim is to clarify its utility and clinical significance and the factors associated with FNA cytology positivity. Seventy-one consecutive patients with biliary tract cancer who underwent EUS-FNA to diagnose lymphadenopathies from April 2012 to July 2021 were enrolled retrospectively.

Background: Despite the growing utilization of robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (rTHA), major debate remains regarding its comparative effectiveness in achieving optimal patient outcomes compared to manual total hip arthroplasty (mTHA). This study aimed to compare both the rate and time to achieve minimal clinically important difference (MCID) between rTHA and mTHA.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis comparing 341 rTHAs with a 1:3 propensity score-matched cohort of 1,023 mTHAs performed from 2016 to 2022.
