Laparoscopic versus open surgery for hepatic caudate lobectomy: a retrospective study

Zhengchen Jiang, Gang Du, Xuyang Wang, Xiangyu Zhai, Guangyong Zhang, Bin Jin, Sanyuan Hu

Summary: This study compares the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic hepatic caudate lobectomy (LHCL) with open hepatic caudate lobectomy (OHCL) for treating liver tumor. The results show that LHCL is as effective as OHCL with no significant differences in intraoperative and postoperative parameters. However, LHCL has the advantage of smaller incision length and lower intraoperative blood loss compared to OHCL. Moreover, LHCL significantly reduces the proportion of patients with severe pain and dezocine consumption 48 hours after surgery.

Treatment of hepatic venous system hemorrhage and carbon dioxide gas embolization during laparoscopic hepatectomy via hepatic vein approach

Zhen Qu, Ke-jia Wu, Jia-wei Feng, Ding-sen Shi, Yu-xiang Chen, Dong-lin Sun, Yun-Fei Duan, Jing Chen, Xiao-zhou He

Summary: With the advancement of laparoscopic surgery, laparoscopic hepatectomy has become feasible and safe. However, hemorrhage in the hepatic venous system and carbon dioxide gas embolism remain challenging. Various methods, such as preoperative imaging evaluation and precise surgical techniques, can help reduce the incidence of these complications. Prompt and appropriate interventions, including bleeding control and transfer to abdominal treatment if needed, play crucial roles in managing hepatic vein system hemorrhage. Understanding, prevention, and emergency treatment of carbon dioxide gas embolism are also essential for surgical success. This study aims to investigate effective approaches to these complications based on institutional experience and relevant literature.

Improved Survival over Time After Resection of Colorectal Liver Metastases and Clinical Impact of Multigene Alteration Testing in Patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Yoshikuni Kawaguchi, Scott Kopetz, Elena Panettieri, Hyunsoo Hwang, Xuemei Wang, Hop S. Tran Cao, Ching-Wei D. Tzeng, Yun Shin Chun, Thomas A. Aloia, Jean-Nicolas Vauthey

Summary: Survival in patients undergoing resection of colorectal liver metastases has improved over the past 20 years, associated with the introduction of irinotecan- and/or oxaliplatin-containing regimens, molecular targeted therapy, and multigene alteration testing. Liver resectability indications expanded over time, with a significantly better 5-year overall survival rate in 2006-2014 compared to 2001-2005. RAS alteration was associated with worse survival outcomes, while multigene alteration testing proved useful for prognostication and identification of potential therapeutic targets.

Conversion surgery after preoperative therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma in the era of molecular targeted therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors

Junichi Arita, Akihiko Ichida, Rihito Nagata, Yuichiro Mihara, Yoshikuni Kawaguchi, Takeaki Ishizawa, Nobuhisa Akamatsu, Junichi Kaneko, Kiyoshi Hasegawa

Summary: This review article examines the optimal strategies for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumors, including vascular tumor thrombus and extrahepatic metastases. The study finds that conversion surgery after molecular targeted therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors is feasible and can improve outcomes for initially unresectable HCC. Combination therapy using lenvatinib, atezolizumab, and bevacizumab shows promise in increasing overall survival and tumor response rates. Further clinical investigation is needed to distinguish between technically unresectable and oncologically unresectable but technically resectable tumors.
