Comparative Analysis of Liver Resection for Non-B Non-C and Virus-Associated Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Increasing cases of non-hepatitis B and non-hepatitis C hepatocellular carcinoma (NBNC-HCC) prompt a comparison with hepatitis virus-associated HCC. A retrospective study of 1321 liver resections showed comparable operative outcomes and long-term survival between matched NBNC-HCC and HV-HCC groups. Independent prognostic factors for overall survival were identified, with NBNC-HCC cases reaching up to 70% of total resections.

Robotic liver resection with short-pitch dividing shortens hospital stay

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.

Robotic bile duct stone surgery: fewer complications

Removing large common bile duct stones with a robot rather than laparoscopically was linked to fewer complications and shorter hospital stays, at a higher cost, in a study from one Chinese hospital.
