Clear indications on how to select retreatments for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are still lacking.To create a machine learning predictive model of survival after HCC recurrence allocate patients their best potential treatment.Real-life data were obtained from an Italian registry between January 2008 and December 2019 median (IQR) follow-up 27 (12-51) months. External validation was made derived by another cohort Japanese cohort. Patients who experienced first surgical approach...
Background: Liver resection is the standard treatment for resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The advent of robotic surgery has extended its application in liver surgery, reducing post-operative complications without compromising oncological safety. This study a retrospective series with aim analyzing preoperative patient’s and tumor’s characteristics evaluating intraoperative data terms hospital stay, complications, radicality. Methods: Data were collected from multicenter database...
The primary aim of World Journal
Background: the role of minimally invasive liver surgery has been progressively developed, with practice increasing in safety and feasibility also respect to major resections. The aim this study was analyze resection elderly patients. Methods: data from a multicentric retrospective database including 1070 consecutive robotic resections nine European hospital centers were analyzed. Among these, 131 Patients divided two groups (<65 years old ≥65 old) perioperative compared between groups....
Background: The one-stage approach for colorectal cancer (CRC) with synchronous liver metastases (SLM) has demonstrated advantages, when feasible, in terms of oncological radicality and reduction sanitary costs. simultaneous laparoscopic to both colon joins the advantages mini-invasiveness approach. Methods: During period from February 2011 July 2017, a single surgeon performed 17 operations resection CRC SLM. Colorectal procedures included 9 rectal resections, 6 left colectomies, 2 right...
In recent years, minimally invasive liver resection has become a standard of care for tumors. Considering the need to treat increasingly fragile patients, general anesthesia is sometimes avoided due respiratory complications. Therefore, surgical treatment with curative intent abandoned in favor less and radical approach. Epidural been shown reduce complications, especially elderly patients pre-existing lung disease.
Solitary fibrous tumor of the liver (SFTL) is a rare occurrence with low number cases reported in literature. SFTL usually benign but, 10%-20% are to be malignant tendency metastasize. The majority associated paraneoplastic hypoglycaemia defined as Doege-Potter syndrome. Surgery best therapeutic treatment, however, long- life follow-up recommended.A 74-year-old man, was admitted emergency department after syncopal episode detection resistant medical treatment. computed tomography revealed...
The impact of obesity on surgical outcomes in elderly patients candidate for liver surgery is still debated.To evaluate the high body mass index (BMI) perioperative and oncological outcome (> 70 years old) treated with laparoscopic resection hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Retrospective multicenter study including 224 operated by laparoscopy HCC (196 a BMI < 30 28 ≥ 30), observed from January 2009 to 2019.After propensity score matching, two groups presented comparable results, terms...
The spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a rare complication. management this complication needs stepwise, multidisciplinary approach which considers first all clinical conditions the patient and also possibility best curative treatment.We report our experience an emergency robotic liver resection for ruptured HCC in elderly patient. Minimally invasive currently recognised as safe feasible to treatment patients.Our presented haemodynamic stability, allows us perform...
Backgrounds: Liver surgery has developed progressively during the last 10 years, especially in minimally invasive approaches. Robotic seemed to overcome laparoscopic limitations with 3D visualization, increased degrees of freedom given Endowrist instruments, tremor filtering, better dexterity, and improved ergonomics for surgeon. Methods: This work was a retrospective analysis our first 100 robotic hepatectomies from March 2020 July 2022. Patient demographics characteristics intra-...
Liver resection and radiofrequency ablation are considered curative options for hepatocellular carcinoma. The choice between these techniques is still controversial especially in cases of carcinoma affecting posterosuperior segments elderly patients.To compare post-operative outcomes liver with single located segments.A retrospective multicentric study was performed enrolling 77 patients age ≥ 70-years-old (≤ 30 mm), (4a, 7, 8). Patients were divided into groups preoperative, peri-operative...
Abstract Background Robotic surgery has gained widespread acceptance in elective interventions, yet its role emergency procedures remains underexplored. While the 2021 WSES position paper discussed limited studies on application of robotics general surgery, it recommended strict patient selection, adequate training, and improved platform accessibility. This prospective study aims to define robotic settings, evaluating intraoperative postoperative outcomes assessing feasibility safety....
