Robotic Pancreatoduodenectomy Shows Promise Post-Learning Curve
Robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (r-pd) may offer better outcomes compared to open surgery after the learning curve is overcome.
Integrated Response Metrics Enhance Prognosis in CRLM Surgery
Combining anatomical and histologic responses to neoadjuvant therapy improves predicting recurrence in colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) after hepatectomy.
Impact of Surgical Margins in Colorectal Liver Metastases
Surgical margins during liver resection for colorectal metastases are crucial, especially given tumor genetics.
Learning Curve in Laparoscopic Liver Resection: Controller Matters
Surgeon proficiency and scope type significantly impact laparoscopic liver resection outcomes.
Cholangiocarcinoma Subtypes: Implications for Surgical Practice
Understanding the molecular subtypes of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is crucial for optimizing surgical decisions and patient outcomes.
CYP2A6 Genotypes Affect Survival in Pancreatic Cancer Patients
Decreased-function CYP2A6 genotypes correlate with worse outcomes for pancreatic cancer patients on S-1 therapy.
Innovative Left-Sided Approach Improves Robotic Pancreatoduodenectomy
A left-sided uncinate-first method enhances surgical precision in complex robotic pancreatoduodenectomies.
Stent Choice in Biliary Drainage for Pancreatic Cancer: No Survival Advantage
Surgeons need to know that plastic and metal stents show similar long-term outcomes in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma undergoing preoperative biliary drainage.
Extrahepatic Bile Duct Resection Falls Short for Cholangiocarcinoma
Extrahepatic bile duct resection shows lower complications but worse survival compared to pancreaticoduodenectomy in early-stage cholangiocarcinoma.
