Abstract Introduction: The objective of this study is to compare the 5 year overall survival patients with stage I–III colon cancer treated by laparoscopic colectomy versus open colectomy. Methods: Using Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Cancer Registry data from 2008 2018, we will emulate a phase III, multicenter, open-label, two-parallel-arm hypothetical target trial in adult who received or as an elective treatment. An inverse-probability weighted Royston‒Parmar parametric model (RPpsm) be...

Background: Despite recent advances in the field of laparoscopic liver surgery, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCC) as an entity has been nearly exempted from new approaches because proposed technical difficulties achieving lymphadenectomy (LAD) and beneficial oncologic outcomes. Materials Methods: Clinical courses all consecutive patients (n = 159) undergoing resection for iCC at Department Surgery, Charité—Universitätsmedizin between January 2015 October 2019 were studied. Ultimately,...

Abstract Background While laparoscopic liver surgery has become a standard procedure, experience with robotic is still limited. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate safety and feasibility compare outcomes conventional laparoscopy. Methods We here report the results single-center, prospective, post-marketing observational (DRKS00017229) investigating surgery. Baseline characteristics, surgical complexity (using IWATE score), postoperative were then compared resections performed...

Minimal-invasive hepatectomy (MIH) has been increasingly performed for benign and malignant liver lesions with most promising short-term results. However, the oncological role of MIH in treatment patients colorectal metastases (CRLM) needs further investigation. Clinicopathological data who underwent resection CRLM between 2012 2017 at Department Surgery, Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Inselspital Bern were assessed. Postoperative outcomes und long-term survivals following compared...

The trace element selenium (Se) is taken up from the diet and metabolized mainly by hepatocytes. Selenoprotein P (SELENOP) constitutes liver-derived Se transporter. Biosynthesis of extracellular glutathione peroxidase (GPx3) in kidney depends on SELENOP-mediated supply. We hypothesized that peri-operative status may serve as a useful prognostic marker for outcome patients undergoing liver transplantation due to hepatocellular carcinoma. Serum samples cancer were routinely collected before...

Background and Objectives: In children, hepatoblastoma preferentially is managed by liver resection (LR). However, in irresectable cases, transplantation (LT) required. The aim of our study was to compare short- long-term results after LR LT for the curative treatment hepatoblastoma. Materials Methods: Retrospective analysis all patients treated surgically from January 2000 until December 2019 performed. Demographic clinical data were collected before surgery. primary endpoints disease free...

Background and Aim: In recent years, minimally invasive surgical approaches have gained an increasingly important role in hepatobiliary surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the safety potential benefits laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) compared with open (OLR) for benign tumors lesions. Patients Methods: Between January 2009 December 2017, 182 patients underwent lesions at our center. After exclusion 15 patients, remaining 167 were divided into LLR group (n = 54) OLR 113)...

Purpose: The impact of acute rejection (AR) after liver transplantation (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) on patient outcome is uncertain. This aim this study to investigate whether AR associated with HCC relapse and overall survival. Patients Methods: undergoing LT between 2001 2015 were retrospectively analyzed regard histopathological proven within the median time until recurrence. Cox's regression analysis was conducted revealing risk factors Results: recurred in 47 252 patients a...

Abstract Abdominal wall closure after pediatric liver transplantation (pLT) in infants may be hampered by graft‐to‐recipient size discrepancy. Herein, we describe the use of a porcine dermal collagen acellular graft (PDCG) as biological mesh (BM) for abdominal pLT recipients. Patients <2 years age, who underwent from 2011 to 2014, were analyzed, divided into definite with and without implantation BM. Primary end‐point was occurrence postoperative infection. Secondary end‐points included...

Background Since the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, children have been mentally and physically burdened, particularly due to school closures, with an associated loss learning. Therefore, efficient testing strategies high sensitivity are necessary keep schools open. Apart from individual rapid antigen testing, various methods investigated, such as PCR-based pool-testing nasopharyngeal swabs, gargle, or saliva samples. To date, previous validation studies found swab pool method be effective...
