Optimal Lymph Node Resection in IPMN-Derived Pancreatic Cancer
Optimal lymphadenectomy of ≥20 lymph nodes in IPMN-derived PDAC is associated with improved overall survival. A minimum of 10 lymph nodes is needed for accurate nodal staging. Specific optimal cut-offs were identified for different types of surgeries.
Liver transplantation gave better 5-year survival than liver resection in combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma, including tumors within UCSF criteria.
Robotic liver resection using a close-to-open forceps technique was associated with no bile leakage and a shorter hospital stay than laparoscopic resection, even though more complex resections were performed in the robotic group.
