..To compare the results of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with hepatic resection in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within the Milan criteria...

..The recently developed robotic technology allows surgeons to perform pancreaticoduodenectomy. A comparative study was undertaken to study outcomes between robotic approach and open approach...

..It was developed to overcome the disadvantages of conventional laparoscopic surgery. The use of robotic system in laparoscopic major hepatectomy was not known yet...

..Published findings on survival and outcome after laparoscopic liver resection for HCC are scarce still. The aim of the present study was to report the perioperative and long-term outcome of minimally invasive surgical treatment of HCC...

..The objective of this study was to determine the role of preoperative laparoscopy and laparoscopic ultrasonography (USG) in patients with HCC...

..Laparoscopic hepatectomy and open hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have the same surgical outcome...

..The aim of the current study was to evaluate the perioperative and long-term outcome of a laparoscopic approach for management of primary hepatolithiasis...

..This is a non-randomized comparative trial designed to compare the results of pancreaticoduodenectomy with internal pancreatic stenting versus no stenting for pancreaticojejunal (PJ) anastomosis after pancreaticoduodenectomy...

..This study aimed to compare the outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) versus conventional 4-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC)...

..To evaluate the technical feasibility and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy, using the robotic surgical system...

..The usefulness of both technetium Tc-99m sestamibi (MIBI) scintigraphy and ultrasonography (USG) scan for the detection of enlarged parathyroid glands secondary to renal hyperparathyroidism is rarely addressed...

..The role of robotic system in laparoscopic surgery was not well evaluated yet. The aim of this cohort study was to evaluate the outcome of multimodality approach of laparoscopic liver resection for hepatic malignancy..

..In conclusion, it is important to differentiate IGM from carcinoma of the breast. Tissue biopsy remains the gold standard to confirm the diagnosis. Expectant management with close regular surveillance is the treatment of choice...

..This article aims to evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of robotic HBP surgery in a single surgical center...

..This study evaluated the long-term outcome...

..To review the current evidence on the efficacy of various interventions directed toward prevention of pancreatic fistula after pancreatoduodenectomy...

..This article aims to review the current management of HCC and its recent advances...

..It is still uncertain whether the long-term outcome of liver resection is the same for hepatocellular carcinoma with and without rupture when patients with the same tumor stage and liver functional state are compared...

..The aim of this article was to review the management of bile duct injury after cholecystectomy...

..This article reviews the role of selective internal irradiation (SIR) with yttrium-90 ((90)Y) microspheres for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)...

..However, the resectability of HCC at the time of diagnosis is low (10-30%). This article reviews the use of salvage surgery following tumor downstaging to treat unresectable HCC...

..We reported here a series of 49 patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who underwent nonsurgical treatment to downstage the disease followed by salvage surgery, their long-term outcome, and pattern of recurrence...

..This article systematically reviewed the current evidence of neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and chemoprevention in partial hepatectomy of HCC...

..We also discuss the suggested etiology and management of this rare condition...

..For patients with unresectable icteric type of HCC, treatment can provide improvement in patient's quality of life and survival...

..Dramatic changes in clinical practice have been observed in the last decade. This review highlights the overall management of GIST and its recent developments...

..To review the current status of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)...

..Tumour recurrence occurred in 58% of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Aggressive surgery increases the resectability of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. R0 resection provides the only chance of long-term survival of these patients...

..The present article aims to study the pattern and need of Intensive Care Unit admission after major head and neck operations...

....

..The ease of management, operative risk, and outcome of bile duct injuries vary considerably, and are highly dependent on the type of injury and its location. This article reviews the various classification systems of bile duct injury...

..An effective adjuvant therapy is urgently needed to improve the surgical outcome. This review describes the current status of adjuvant therapy for pancreatic cancer, and highlights its controversies...

..This article aimed to propose a management strategy for cystic neoplasm of the pancreas based on the available evidence in the medical literature...

..Hepatic vascular occlusion is effective in minimizing bleeding during hepatic parenchymal transection. This article aimed to review the current role and status of various techniques of hepatic vascular occlusion during hepatic resection...

..On histological examination, both tumours were confirmed to be recurrent hepatocellular carcinomas with clear surgical margins. After resection, both patients had no tumour recurrence at 1 year and 3 years, respectively...

..Total cyst excision and hepaticojejunostomy is an effective and safe treatment for patients with the common type I choledochal cyst in order to reduce the chance of subsequent development of malignancy...
