Machine learning distinguishes MD-IPMN from chronic pancreatitis
A new model helps surgeons accurately differentiate main-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms from chronic pancreatitis when imaging results are unclear.
Shared Decision-Making Improves IPMN Management
Managing intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) is complex, with surgical outcomes hinging on nuanced patient preferences.
Laparoscopic Resection of HCC with Portal Vein Thrombosis Feasible
Surgeons can achieve successful resection in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and portal vein tumor thrombus despite resistance to first-line therapy.
Robotic Liver Surgery Complexity Scores Validated
Surgeons now have a new, validated tool to assess the complexity of robotic liver surgery, improving patient selection and outcomes.
Robotic Pancreatoduodenectomy in Octogenarians Offers Advantages
Robotic pancreatoduodenectomy in patients 80 and older shows significant benefits over open surgery.
Enhancing Liver Surgery Training: Outcomes from a Leading Fellowship
Dedicated hepatobiliary fellowship programs sharply boost surgical confidence and competence, crucial for today's complex liver surgeries.
