AbstractPreviously, isolated caudate lobectomy was rarely performed and the caudate lobe was usually resected along with other segments. Isolated caudate lobe resection is a challenging procedure even for an experienced surgeon. Our aim was to evaluate the feasibility, safety and outcomes of laparoscopic isolated caudate lobectomy and to compare these with the open technique. We retrospectively analyzed 21 patients who underwent isolated caudate lobectomy between January 2005 and December 2018 at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. Patients who underwent either anatomical or non-anatomical resection of the caudate lobe were included. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether they underwent laparoscopic or open surgery. Intra-operative and postoperative outcomes were compared with a median follow-up of 43 months (4–149). A total of 21 patients were included in the study. Of these, 12 (57.14%) underwent laparoscopic and nine (42.85%) underwent open caudate lobectomy. Median operation time (204.5 vs. 200 minutes, p = 0.397), estimated blood loss (250 vs. 400 ml, p = 0.214) and hospital stay (4 vs. 7 days, p = 0.298) were comparable between laparoscopy and open group. The overall post operative complication rate was similar in both groups (p = 0.375). The 5-year disease free survival rate (42.9% vs 60.0%, p = 0.700) and the 5-year overall survival rate (76.2% vs 64.8%, p = 0.145) was similar between laparoscopy and open group. Our findings demonstrate that with increasing surgical expertise and technological advances, laparoscopic isolated caudate lobectomy can become a feasible and safe in selected patients.

Resection of the caudate lobe of the liver is considered a highly challenging type of liver resection due to the region’s intimacy with critical vascular structures and deep anatomic location inside the abdominal cavity. Laparoscopic resection of the caudate lobe is considered one of the most challenging laparoscopic liver procedures. The objective of our systematic review was to evaluate the safety, technical feasibility and main outcomes of laparoscopic caudate lobectomy LCL. A systematic review of the literature was undertaken for studies published until September 2021. A total of 20 studies comprising 221 patients were included. Of these subjects, 36% were women, whereas the vast majority of resections (66%) were performed for malignant tumors. Tumor size varied significantly between 2 and 160 mm in the largest diameter. The mean operative time was 210 min (range 60–740 min), and estimated blood loss was 173.6 mL (range 50–3600 mL). The median hospital length of stay LOS was 6.5 days (range 2–15 days). Seven cases of conversion to open were reported. The vast majority of patients (93.7%) underwent complete resection (R0) of their tumors. Thirty-six out of 221 patients developed postoperative complications, with 5.8% of all patients developing a major complication (Clavien–Dindo classification ≥ III).No perioperative deaths were reported by the included studies. LCL seems to be a safe and feasible alternative to open caudate lobectomy OCL in selected patients when undertaken in high-volume centers by experienced surgeons.

Abstract The aim of this study is to explore the safety and efficacy of Cone-Beam computed tomography (CBCT) guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of pulmonary malignancies. Thirty-one patients with pulmonary malignant tumors (≤3 cm in diameter) were enrolled to this study. Total 43 CBCT guided RFA treatments were performed, including 7 patients undergoing multiple treatments. The target tumor puncture success rate, tumor remission rate, postoperative cumulative survival rate, tumor-free survival rate and complication rate were analyzed. All 43 CBCT guided RFA procedures successfully punctured the target tumors. Complications included five cases of pneumothorax and three cases of hemoptysis. For the 31 patients who underwent CBCT guided RFA, the 1- and 2-year cumulative survival rates were 80.6 and 54.8%, respectively. The 1- and 2-year disease-free survival rates were 54.8 and 32.3%, respectively. The 1-, 3- and 6-month remission rates were 78.4, 68.7 and 63.3%, respectively. The average cumulative radiation dose and average effective radiation dose were 194.62 ± 105.51 mGy and 5.41 ± 3.45 mSv, respectively. CBCT help to shorten the operation time, reduce the unnecessary interventions and also reduce the incidence of complications. CBCT guided RFA is one safe and efficacious treatment for pulmonary malignancies.

Resection of the hemangioma located in the caudate lobe is a major challenge in current liver surgery. This study aimed to present our surgical technique for this condition. Two consecutive patients with symptomatic hepatic hemangioma undergoing caudate lobectomy were investigated retrospectively. First, all the blood inflow of hemangioma from the portal vein and the hepatic artery at the base of the umbilical fissure was dissected. After the tumors became soft and tender, the short hepatic veins and the ligaments between the secondary porta hepatis were severed. At last the tumors were resected from the right lobe of the liver. The whole process was finished by a left-sided approach. Blood lost in Case 1 was 1650 mL because of ligature failing in one short hepatic vein, and in the other case, 210 mL. Operation time was 236 minutes and 130 minutes, respectively. Postoperative hospital stays were 11 and 5 days, respectively. The diameter of tumors was 9.0 cm and 6.5 cm. Case 1 required blood transfusion during surgery. No complications such as biliary fistula, postoperative bleeding, and liver failure occurred. The left-sided approach produced the best results for caudate lobe resection in our cases. The patients who recovered are living well and asymptomatic. Caudate lobectomy can be performed safely and quickly by a left-sided approach, which is carried out with optimized perioperative management and innovative surgical technique.

Abstract Background Transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA) is performed for adenoma or early cancer of the ampulla of Vater (AoV). This study aimed to analyze the short- and long-term outcomes of TDA (TDA group) when compared with conventional pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) or pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD group). Methods Patients who underwent TDA between January 2006 and December 2019, and PD cases performed for AoV malignancy with carcinoma in-situ (Tis) (high-grade dysplasia, HGD) and T1 and T2 stage from January 2010 to December 2019 were reviewed. Results Forty-six patients underwent TDA; 21 had a benign tumor, and 25 cases with malignant tumors were compared with PD cases (n = 133). Operation time (p < 0.001), estimated blood loss (p < 0.001), length of hospital stays (p = 0.003), and overall complication rate (p < 0.001) were lower in the TDA group than in the PD group. Lymph node metastasis rates were 14.6% in pT1 and 28.9% in pT2 patients. The 5-year disease-free survival and 5-year overall survival rates for HGD/Tis and T1 tumor between the two groups were similar (TDA group vs PD group, 72.2% vs 77.7%, p = 0.550; 85.6% vs 79.2%, p = 0.816, respectively). Conclusion TDA accompanied with lymph node dissection is advisable in HGD/Tis and T1 AoV cancers in view of superior perioperative outcomes and similar long-term survival rates compared with PD.

Abstract Objective There are limited data from retrospective studies on whether therapeutic outcomes after regular pancreatectomy are superior to those after enucleation in patients with small, peripheral and well-differentiated non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. This study aimed to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of regular pancreatectomy and enucleation in patients with non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Methods Between January 2007 and July 2020, 227 patients with non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors who underwent either enucleation (n = 89) or regular pancreatectomy (n = 138) were included. Perioperative complications, disease-free survival, and overall survival probabilities were compared. Propensity score matching was performed to balance the baseline differences between the two groups. Results The median follow-up period was 60.76 months in the enucleation group and 43.29 months in the regular pancreatectomy group. In total, 34 paired patients were identified after propensity score matching. The average operative duration in the enucleation group was significantly shorter than that in the regular pancreatectomy group (147.94 ± 42.39 min versus 217.94 ± 74.60 min, P &lt; 0.001), and the estimated blood loss was also significantly lesser (P &lt; 0.001). The matched patients who underwent enucleation displayed a similar overall incidence of postoperative complications (P = 0.765), and a comparable length of hospital stay (11.12 ± 3.90 days versus 9.94 ± 2.62 days, P = 0.084) compared with those who underwent regular pancreatectomy. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in disease-free survival and overall survival after propensity score matching. Conclusion Enucleation in patients with non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors was associated with shorter operative time, lesser intraoperative bleeding, similar overall morbidity of postoperative complications, and comparable 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival when compared with regular pancreatectomy.

(1) Background: Cranioplasty is a surgery to repair a skull bone defect after decompressive craniectomy (DC). If the process of dissection of the epidural adhesion tissue is not performed properly, it can cause many complications. We reviewed the effect of a silicone elastomer sheet designed to prevent adhesion. (2) Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 81 consecutive patients who underwent DC and subsequent cranioplasty at our institution between January 2015 and December 2019. We then divided the patients into two groups, one not using the silicone elastomer sheet (n = 50) and the other using the silicone elastomer sheet (n = 31), and compared the surgical outcomes. (3) Results: We found that the use of the sheet shortened the operation time by 24% and reduced the estimated blood loss (EBL) by 43% compared to the control group. Moreover, the complication rate of epidural fluid collection (EFC) in the group using the sheet was 16.7%, which was lower than that in the control group (41.7%, p < 0.023). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed the sheet (OR 0.294, 95% CI 0.093–0.934, p = 0.039) to be significantly related to EFC. (4) Conclusions: The technique using the silicone elastomer sheet allows surgeons to easily dissect the surgical plane during cranioplasty, which shortens the operation time, reduces EBL, and minimizes complications of EFC.

Abstract Background Although isolated caudate lobe (CL) liver resection is not a contraindication for minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS), feasibility and safety of the procedure are still poorly investigated. To address this gap, we evaluate data on the Italian prospective maintained database on laparoscopic liver surgery (IgoMILS) and compare outcomes between MILS and open group. Methods Perioperative data of patients with malignancies, as colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), non-colorectal liver metastases (NCRLM) and benign liver disease, were retrospectively analyzed. A propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to balance the potential selection bias for MILS and open group. Results A total of 224 patients were included in the study, 47 and 177 patients underwent MILS and open isolated CL resection, respectively. The overall complication rate was comparable between the two groups; however, severe complication rate (Dindo–Clavien grade ≥ 3) was lower in the MILS group (0% versus 6.8%, P = ns). In-hospital mortality was 0% in both groups and mean hospital stay was significantly shorter in the MILS group (P = 0.01). After selection of 42 MILS and 43 open CL resections by PSM analysis, intraoperative and postoperative outcomes remained similar except for the hospital stay which was not significantly shorter in MILS group. Conclusions This multi-institutional cohort study shows that MILS CL resection is feasible and safe. The surgical procedure can be technically demanding compared to open resection, whereas good perioperative outcomes can be achieved in highly selected patients.
