Materials and methods Data from 1,009 resections conducted 2001 to 2011 were retrospectively collected. Twelve tertiary medical centers specialized hepatic surgeons participated this Results Among resections, performed 265 patients as treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma, metastatic tumor, intrahepatic duct stone, other conditions.

Although laparoscopic liver resection has been gradually adopted as an attractive option, it is still not indicated for large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study to assess the feasibility HCCs.A retrospective comparative between 20 patients with HCC ≥ 5 cm and 103 <5 who underwent from September 2003 until December 2011 at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital was performed.In total, 95 men 28 women a mean age 56.92 ± 11.28 years were enrolled in study. There no...
To predict survival time of Korean hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients using multi-center data as a foundation for the development predictive artificial intelligence model according to treatment methods based on machine learning.Data who underwent HCC from 2008 2015 was provided by Liver Cancer Study Group and Korea Central Registry. A total 10,742 with were divided into two groups, I (2920 patients) confirmed biopsy II (5562 diagnosed diagnostic criteria outlined in Association...
Purpose: Varicose veins are a major problem worldwide and improvement in quality of life (QoL) is the ultimate goal after treatment this benign disease.However QoL highly dependent on personal social factors.This study compares high ligation stripping (HS) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) terms recurrence Korea.Methods: A retrospective analysis prospectively collected data between August 2006 October 2008 was performed for patients undergoing HS RFA at single institution.QoL assessed with...
Purpose: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an accepted treatment option for primary and metastatic liver tumors.As percutaneous RFA has some limitations, laparoscopic (LRFA) been used as a therapeutic alternative the of hepatic malignancies.Methods: Between March 2006 September 2009, thirty patients with malignancies that were contraindicated resection or underwent LRFA.Indications this procedure hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, 21 patients), tumor (8 patients) intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma...
We conducted this study to the clinical correlation between characteristics of gastric cancer and serum selenium zinc levels.The following data were measured in baseline levels 74 patients with curative gastrectomy subsequent confirmed cancer, from March 2005 August 2012.Among patients, 53 male. Mean 118.7±33.1 ug/L 72.2±24.3 ug/dl, respectively. Seven (9.5%) showed lower level, 33 (44.6%) level. Serum Selenium level was 99.1±31.8 cardia group (10 cases) 121.8±32.4 non-cardia (64...
In Korea, the entire population must enroll in national health insurance system, and those who are classified as having a lower socioeconomic status supported by medical aid system. The aim of this study was to evaluate association gastric cancer patients with their survival after gastrectomy.A total 247 underwent surgical treatment for between January 1999 December 2010 at Seoul Medical Center were evaluated. Based on status, into two groups: registered group (n=183), covered (n=64). rates...
Introduction: Although laparoscopic major hepatectomy has frequently been performed, right anterior sectionectomy (Lap-RAS) rarely reported. In this report, we present three cases of totally Lap-RAS and the relevant technical maneuvers in each step procedure. Patients Methods: Case 1 was that a 40-year-old man who admitted with abnormal intrahepatic bile duct dilatation containing multiple stones S8. Preoperative imaging studies revealed possibility localized Caroli's disease. 2 63-year-old...
We evaluated the adequacy and feasibility of a tumescent solution containing lidocaine bupivacaine for inguinal hernia repairs.The medical records 146 consecutive patients with 157 repairs using local anesthesia technique performed by single surgeon between September 2009 December 2013 were retrospectively reviewed.The mean operation time (±standard deviation) hospital stay 64.5 ± 17.6 minutes 2.7 1.5 days. The postoperative complication rate was 17.8%. There four cases recurrences (2.5%) at...
Background and Objectives: Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) for the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) located in posterosuperior (PS) segment is technically demanding, but has been overcome by accumulated experiences technological improvements. We analyzed peri-and post-operative results before after adaptation of enhanced techniques. Materials Methods: retrospectively reviewed 246 patients who underwent LLR HCC PS segments from September 2003 to December 2019. According introduction advanced...
Purpose: Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) is a reliable and safe operation for selected patients with benign low-grade malignant lesions in the body tail of pancreas. However, its application disease has been rarely reported.

Methods Big the who underwent treatment for HCC from 2008 to 2015, provided Korea Central Cancer Registry, National Center, and Ministry Health Welfare, were analyzed. A total 10 742 with divided into two groups, Group I (3021 patients) confirmed on biopsy II (5563 diagnosed as according diagnostic criteria outlined in Liver Association guidelines....
