kn-title=Gemcitabine-induced neutrophil extracellular traps via interleukin-8-CXCR1/2 pathway promote chemoresistance in pancreatic cancer
en-subtitle=

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive cancers, and chemoresistance poses a significant challenge in its treatment. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have emerged as key players in the tumour microenvironment, but their role in chemoresistance remains unclear.<br>
Methods: We investigated the involvement of NETs in PDAC chemoresistance using patient tumour samples, in vitro assays with gemcitabine (GEM)-treated PDAC cells, and in vivo mouse models. We evaluated cytokine production, NET formation and tumour response to GEM, with or without the CXCR1/2 inhibitor navarixin.<br>
Results: NETs are significantly accumulated in the tumours of PDAC patients exhibiting poor response to chemotherapy. GEM-treated PDAC cells secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-8 (IL-8). IL-8 promote the formation of chemotherapy-induced NETs (chemoNETosis) through activation of CXCR 1/2 on neutrophils. Importantly, treatment with navarixin significantly suppressed chemoNETosis, restored sensitivity to GEM, and significantly reduced tumour growth in vivo.<br>
Conclusions: Our findings reveal that NETs contribute to chemoresistance in PDAC and that IL-8–mediated chemoNETosis plays a pivotal role in this process. Inhibition of CXCR1/2-mediated NET formation enhances the efficacy of GEM. This approach may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for overcoming chemoresistance in PDAC. These results support further clinical investigation of anti-NETs therapies.

kn-title=Impact of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy with Gemcitabine Plus S-1 in Patients with Resectable Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background/Objectives: Although neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is not universally recommended for resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), NAC with gemcitabine plus S-1 (NAC-GS) has become a commonly used regimen for resectable PDAC in Japan. Furthermore, the impact of achieving textbook outcomes (TO) in patients receiving NAC-GS remains unclear. Methods: This retrospective study included 265 patients who were diagnosed with resectable PDAC at our institution between January 2009 and December 2023. Patients were categorized into two groups: the NAC-GS group (n = 81; 2019–2023) and the upfront surgery (UFS) group (n = 164; 2009–2018). After comparing the clinical outcomes between groups, multivariate analyses for survival were performed. Additionally, outcomes stratified by the achievement of the modified TO were analyzed in the NAC-GS group. Results: The completion rate of NAC-GS was 90.1%. Patients in the NAC-GS group exhibited significantly longer survival than those in the UFS group (2-year recurrence-free survival: 61.4% vs. 37.9%, p < 0.01; 2-year overall survival: 83.2% vs. 61.2%, p < 0.01). Multivariate analyses identified lymph node metastasis, NAC-GS induction, and completion of adjuvant chemotherapy as factors significantly associated with improved survival. Moreover, among patients who received NAC-GS, those who achieved modified TO demonstrated significantly longer survival than those who did not. Conclusions: This study demonstrated the clinical efficacy of NAC-GS in patients with resectable PDAC. Induction of NAC-GS was significantly associated with improved long-term outcomes. In multidisciplinary treatment strategies for PDAC, achieving a modified TO may lead to improved survival of patients undergoing NAC-GS.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) after esophagectomy with gastric conduit reconstruction is technically challenging. Preserving the blood supply of the gastric conduit is crucial in performing PD after esophagectomy. We report the case of a 66-year-old man who underwent gastroduodenal artery-preserving PD after esophagectomy with gastric conduit reconstruction for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. The patient developed pseudoaneurysm rupture postoperatively, but was successfully treated with interventional radiology. Precise assessment is important in developing a surgical strategy depending on the patient’s specific anatomy and tumor characteristics. Moreover, special attention should be paid to avoid accidental injuries of the gastric conduit and gastric vessels during surgery.

kn-title=Precise stratification of prognosis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients based on pre- and postoperative genomic information
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has the highest mortality rate among all cancers; hence, multidisciplinary treatment is essential for patients with PDAC. Although the resectability status, tumour marker, KRAS circulating tumour DNA (mutKRAS-ctDNA) mutations, and GATA binding 6 (GATA6) expression status are promising prognostic biomarkers, their effective integration before and after surgery remains unclear.<br>
Methods In this retrospective cohort study, patients with PDAC who had undergone radical resection were enrolled, and pre- and postoperative independent factors associated with poor prognosis were identified using Cox hazard modelling. Risk stratification systems were developed using the identified prognostic factors and investigated for the ability to predict prognosis.<br>
Results A total of 91 patients with PDAC were included (median follow-up duration, 28 months). Borderline resectable or locally advanced cancer at diagnosis, elevated carbohydrate antigen 19–9 (CA19-9) level, and mutKRAS-ctDNA-positive status were identified as independent preoperative factors associated with poor prognosis. The postoperative factors significantly associated with shorter overall survival were low GATA6 expression, elevated CA19-9 level, and mutKRAS-ctDNA-positive status. Finally, the preoperative and postoperative risk scoring systems developed using Cox modelling hazard ratio values could significantly stratify prognosis after curative resection for PDAC.<br>
Conclusion A risk stratification system based on liquid biopsy, specialised for each phase (pre- and post-surgery), has been proven to be a useful, simple, and practical prognostic prediction clinical tool to determine the optimal multidisciplinary treatment protocol for PDAC.

kn-title=Hemodynamic Assessment Using SPY Laser Fluorescence Imaging During Pancreatoduodenectomy with Common Hepatic Artery Resection
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background. Pancreatectomies combined with arterial resection can be indicated for pancreatic cancer. In a pancreatectomy with arterial resection, intraoperative confirmation of blood flow through reconstructed vessels is crucial. This study highlights the usefulness of SPY laser fluorescence imaging during a pancreatoduodenectomy with common hepatic artery resection (PD-CHAR).<br>
Patient and Methods. A 55-year-old man with borderline resectable pancreatic head cancer underwent a PD-CHAR. After confirming tumor resectability, reconstruction of the CHA to the proper hepatic artery was performed. Subsequently, the superior mesenteric vein was reconstructed.<br>
Results. SPY laser fluorescence imaging demonstrated arterial blood perfusion to the liver through the reconstructed hepatic artery, followed by perfusion from the portal vein. The operation lasted 493 min, with an estimated blood loss of 400 mL. The postoperative course was uneventful with good arterial blood flow.<br>
Conclusion. The SPY Portable Handheld Imager could be valuable for visualizing blood flow in reconstructed vessels and assessing tissue perfusion during a pancreatectomy combined with vascular reconstruction.

kn-title=Rare internal hernia following pancreatoduodenectomy: A case report
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Introduction: Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is a complex procedure with a high morbidity rate. Internal hernia following PD is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. Herein, we describe a rare case of internal hernia after PD.<br>
Presentation of case: A 76-year-old man who underwent subtotal stomach-preserving PD 7 years ago presented with vomiting and abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography revealed an internal hernia. Because conservative treatment failed, surgical intervention was performed. Intraoperative findings revealed efferent loop herniation in the space between the afferent loop near the Braun anastomosis and transverse mesocolon. The hernia was repositioned and the mesenteric defect was closed.<br>
Discussion: This is an extremely rare case of an internal hernia that developed 7 years after PD. As conservative management provides a little chance for improvement, precise diagnosis and prompt re-intervention are essential for the management of internal hernia. In this case, the hernial orifice developed in the space between the afferent and efferent loops and the transverse mesocolon. Internal hernia could be a differential diagnosis in patients with ileus after PD.<br>
Conclusion: This study provided a detailed description of an extremely rare case of internal hernia following PD. Therefore, internal hernias should be considered in patients undergoing PD.

kn-title=Robot-Assisted Pancreaticoduodenectomy Using the Anterior Superior Mesenteric Artery-First Approach for Pancreatic Cancer
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background. The superior mesenteric artery (SMA)-first approach for pancreatic cancer (PC) is common surgical technique in pancreaticoduodenectomy. To date, few studies have reported SMA-first approach in robot-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD). Herein, we present the anterior SMA-first approach for PC during RPD.<br>
Patient and Method. A 75-year-old man with resectable PC underwent RPD after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. As pancreatic head tumor contacted with the superior mesenteric vein (SMV), the anterior SMA approach was applied. After the mesenteric Kocher maneuver, the jejunum was divided and the left side of the SMA was dissected. Subsequently, the anterior plane of the SMA was dissected. Following the division of branches from the mesenteric vessels, the SMA was taped, and the circumferential dissection around the SMA was performed to detach the pancreatic neck from the SMA completely. Finally, the dissection between the SMV and the tumor was performed under vascular control to remove the specimen.<br>
Conclusions. The anterior SMA-first approach can be optional in patients with PC undergoing RPD. This unique approach allows for the circumferential dissection around the SMA during RPD.

kn-title=ADAR1 as a prognostic marker for patients with colorectal cancer and synchronous liver metastasis and a predictor of chemotherapy efficacy
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=RNA editing by adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR) enzymes plays a role in cancer progression. However, its clinical significance in metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate whether ADAR1 expression predicts prognosis and treatment response in colorectal cancer (CRC) with synchronous liver metastasis. This study included 40 patients with stage IV CRC and synchronous liver metastases. ADAR1 expression in tumor tissues was evaluated using immunohistochemistry. Expression levels were quantified using the immunoreactive score, and associations with clinicopathological features, overall survival (OS), and chemotherapy response were examined. High ADAR1 expression was significantly associated with multiple liver metastases (P = 0.0206), lymph node metastasis (P = 0.0241), and reduced response to chemotherapy (P = 0.0224). Significantly shorter OS was observed in patients with high ADAR1 expression in the nucleus (P = 0.0458). ADAR1 expression was an independent prognostic factor comparable to the presence of extrahepatic metastases. Low ADAR1 expression was correlated with a higher likelihood of achieving a response to chemotherapy. ADAR1 expression can reflect tumor aggressiveness and chemotherapy resistance in patients with CRC and synchronous liver metastasis. ADAR1 has considerable potential as a dual-purpose biomarker for stratifying patients based on prognosis and optimizing treatment intensity.

kn-title=ADAR1-high tumor-associated macrophages induce drug resistance and are therapeutic targets in colorectal cancer
en-subtitle=

kn-abstract=Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered the third most common type of cancer worldwide. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have been shown to promote drug resistance. Adenosine-to-inosine RNA-editing, as regulated by adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR), is a process that induces the posttranscriptional modification of critical oncogenes. The aim of this study is to determine whether the signals from cancer cells would induce RNA-editing in macrophages.<br>
Methods The effects of RNA-editing on phenotypes in macrophages were analyzed using clinical samples and in vitro and in vivo models.<br>
Results The intensity of the RNA-editing enzyme ADAR1 (Adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1) in cancer and mononuclear cells indicated a strong positive correlation between the nucleus and cytoplasm. The ADAR1-positive mononuclear cells were positive for CD68 and CD163, a marker for M2 macrophages. Cancer cells transport pro-inflammatory cytokines or ADAR1 protein directly to macrophages via the exosomes, promoting RNA-editing in AZIN1 (Antizyme Inhibitor 1) and GLI1 (Glioma-Associated Oncogene Homolog 1) and resulting in M2 macrophage polarization. GLI1 RNA-editing in the macrophages induced by cancer cells promotes the secretion of SPP1, which is supplied to the cancer cells. This activates the NF kappa B pathway in cancer cells, promoting oxaliplatin resistance. When the JAK inhibitors were administered, oncogenic RNA-editing in the macrophages was suppressed. This altered the macrophage polarization from M2 to M1 and decreased oxaliplatin resistance in cancer cells.<br>
Conclusions This study revealed that ADAR1-high TAMs are crucial in regulating drug resistance in CRC and that targeting ADAR1 in TAMs could be a promising treatment approach for overcoming drug resistance in CRC.

kn-title=Surgical protocol of robotic liver resection using a two-surgeon technique (TAKUMI-3): a technical note and initial outcomes
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Internationally, evidence supporting robotic liver resection (RLR) has gradually increased in recent years. However, a standardized protocol for RLR remains lacking. This study describes a surgical protocol and the initial outcomes of RLR in a high-volume center for robotic hepatopancreatobiliary surgery in Japan.<br>
Methods Patients were placed in the reverse Trendelenburg position, with a supine position for anterolateral tumors and left lateral position for posterosuperior tumors. Our standard RLR protocol involved a two-surgeon technique. Liver parenchymal transection was performed by an assistant using the clamp crush technique with a console, with or without a laparoscopic Cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator (CUSA). Surgical techniques, including the tips, tricks, and pitfalls of RLR, are also demonstrated.<br>
Results We performed 113 RLR at our institution for common primary diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma (n = 52, 46.0%) and metastatic tumors (n = 48, 42.5%) between July 2022 and December 2024. The median operative time and estimated blood loss were 156 min (interquartile range [IQR], 121-209 min) and 20 mL (IQR, 0-100 mL), respectively. During liver parenchymal transection, a laparoscopic CUSA was used in 59 patients (52.2%), and a water-jet scalpel was used in 12 patients (10.6%). The incidence of mortality, major complications, and bile leakage was 0%, 6.2%, and 2.7%, respectively. The median hospital stay was 7 days (IQR, 6-9 days).<br>
Conclusions We successfully introduced an RLR program using the two-surgeon technique. Safe implementation of RLR can be achieved upon completion of the training program and thorough understanding of the surgical protocols.

kn-title=The Liver Transection Area Is a Novel Predictor for Surgical Difficulty in Laparoscopic Liver Resection
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: A difficulty scoring system was developed to estimate the surgical outcomes of laparoscopic liver surgery (LLS); however, the effect of the liver transection area (LTA) on LLS outcomes have not been previously examined. Therefore, this study investigated the predictive significance of the LTA for LLS. Methods: This retrospective study included 106 patients who underwent LLS in our hospital between January 2012 and December 2023. The association of the LTA with the surgical difficulty level and operative time was investigated. Multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors predicting surgical difficulty in LLS. Results: The median LTA and operative time were 62.5 (IQR, 36.0–91.8) cm2 and 250 (IQR, 195–310) minutes, respectively. The LTA was significantly associated with surgical difficulty as evaluated using the IWATE Criteria. Moreover, the LTA significantly correlated with operative time (r2 = 0.19, p < 0.001). The multivariable analyses found that the LTA (≥59 cm2) (odds ratio [OR], 6.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.38–16.6; p < 0.001) and the type of LLS (≥segmentectomy) (OR, 3.79; 95% CI, 1.35–11.4; p = 0.01) were significant factors associated with surgical difficulty. Conclusions: The LTA is a useful parameter that reflects the difficulty of LLS.

kn-title=Central pancreatectomy of the remnant pancreas without reconstruction after pancreatoduodenectomy
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background There are several reports on the safety and feasibility of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) without reconstruction of the small remnant pancreas. However, a few studies have explored central pancreatectomy (CP) for non-reconstructed small remnant pancreases after PD. This study presents a case of CP without pancreatic reconstruction after PD.<br>
Case presentation A 58-year-old man with cerebral palsy underwent PD for distal cholangiocarcinoma. Three years postoperatively, a 12-mm tumor was detected in the remnant pancreatic body and diagnosed as a pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm. Surgical resection was performed, because the tumor was enlarged and chemotherapy resistant. The afferent loop with pancreatojejunostomy anastomosis was dissected, and CP, including pancreatojejunostomy anastomosis, was performed. Given the remnant pancreas was hard and atrophic, the pancreatic tail was transected using a stapler without reconstructing the small remnant pancreas. The patient experienced no postoperative complications including postoperative pancreatic fistula, and the endocrine function of the pancreas was preserved.<br>
Conclusions We present a case of remnant pancreatic CP that did not require reconstruction after PD. Preservation of the small remnant pancreas without reconstruction during CP may be feasible to maintain endocrine function in select patients after PD.

kn-title=Innovative suture technique for robotic hepaticojejunostomy: double-layer interrupted sutures
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Purpose Biliary reconstruction remains a technically demanding and complicated procedure in minimally invasive hepatopancreatobiliary surgeries. No optimal hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) technique has been demonstrated to be superior for preventing biliary complications. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of our unique technique of posterior double-layer interrupted sutures in robotic HJ.<br>
Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database. Forty-two patients who underwent robotic pancreatoduodenectomy using this technique between September 2020 and November 2022 at our center were reviewed. In the posterior double-layer interrupted technique, sutures were placed to bite the bile duct, posterior seromuscular layer of the jejunum, and full thickness of the jejunum.<br>
Results The median operative time was 410 (interquartile range [IQR], 388–478) min, and the median HJ time was 30 (IQR, 28–39) min. The median bile duct diameter was 7 (IQR, 6–10) mm. Of the 42 patients, one patient (2.4%) had grade B bile leakage. During the median follow-up of 12.6 months, one patient (2.4%) with bile leakage developed anastomotic stenosis. Perioperative mortality was not observed. A surgical video showing the posterior double-layer interrupted sutures in the robotic HJ is included.<br>
Conclusions Posterior double-layer interrupted sutures in robotic HJ provided a simple and feasible method for biliary reconstruction with a low risk of biliary complications.

kn-title=Impact of educational video on performance in robotic simulation training (TAKUMI-1): a randomized controlled trial
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The use of virtual reality for simulations plays an important role in the initial training for robotic surgery. This randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the impact of educational video on the performance of robotic simulation. Participants were randomized into the intervention (video) group that received an educational video and robotic simulation training or the control group that received only simulation training. The da Vinci® Skills Simulator was used for the basic course, including nine drills. The primary endpoint was the overall score of nine drills in cycles 1–10. Secondary endpoints included overall, efficiency, and penalty scores in each cycle, as well as the learning curves evaluated by the cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis. Between September 2021 and May 2022, 20 participants were assigned to the video (n = 10) and control (n = 10) groups. The video group had significantly higher overall scores than the control group (90.8 vs. 72.4, P < 0.001). Significantly higher overall scores and lower penalty scores were confirmed, mainly in cycles 1–5. CUSUM analysis revealed a shorter learning curve in the video group. The present study demonstrated that educational video training can be effective in improving the performance of robotic simulation training and shortening the learning curve.

kn-title=Robotic surgery for congenital biliary dilatation using the scope switch technique (with video)
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Technique: Minimally invasive congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) surgery is technically demanding. However, few studies have reported surgical approaches of robotic surgery for CBD. This report presents robotic CBD surgery using a scope-switch technique. Our robotic surgery technique for CBD consisted of four steps: step 1, Kocher's maneuver; step 2, dissection of the hepatoduodenal ligament using the scope switch technique; step 3, preparation for the Roux-en-Y loop; and step 4, hepaticojejunostomy. <br>
Results: The scope switch technique can provide different surgical approaches for dissecting the bile duct, including anterior approach by the standard position and right approach by the scope switch position. When approaching the ventral and left side of the bile duct, anterior approach with the standard position is suitable. In contrast, the lateral view by the scope switch position is preferable for approaching the bile duct laterally and dorsally. Using this technique, the dilated bile duct can be dissected circumferentially from four directions: anterior, medial, lateral, and posterior. Thereafter, complete resection of the choledochal cyst can be achieved. <br>
Conclusions: The scope switch technique in robotic surgery for CBD can be useful for dissecting around the bile duct with different surgical views, leading to the complete resection of the choledochal cyst.

kn-title=Impact of cancer-associated fibroblasts on survival of patients with ampullary carcinoma
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) reportedly enhance the progression of gastrointestinal surgery; however, the role of CAFs in ampullary carcinomas remains poorly examined. This study aimed to investigate the effect of CAFs on the survival of patients with ampullary carcinoma. <br>
Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis of 67 patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy between January 2000 and December 2021 was performed. CAFs were defined as spindle-shaped cells that expressed alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) and fibroblast activation protein (FAP). The impact of CAFs on survival, including recurrence-free (RFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS), as well as prognostic factors associated with survival, was analyzed. <br>
Results: The high-alpha-SMA group had significantly worse 5-year RFS (47.6% vs. 82.2%, p = 0.003) and 5-year DSS (67.5% vs. 93.3%, p = 0.01) than the low-alpha-SMA group. RFS (p = 0.04) and DSS (p = 0.02) in the high-FAP group were significantly worse than those in the low-FAP group. Multivariable analyses found that high alpha-SMA expression was an independent predictor of RFS [hazard ratio (HR): 3.68; 95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.21-12.4; p = 0.02] and DSS (HR: 8.54; 95% CI: 1.21-170; p = 0.03). <br>
Conclusions: CAFs, particularly alpha-SMA, can be useful predictors of survival in patients undergoing radical resection for ampullary carcinomas.

kn-title=Role of the Pfannenstiel Incision in Robotic Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery
en-subtitle=

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Studies remain limited on the role of the Pfannenstiel incision in minimally invasive hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery, especially robotic surgery. The role of various extraction sites in robotic HPB surgery should be understood. Herein, we describe the surgical techniques, outcomes, advantages, and disadvantages of the Pfannenstiel incision in robotic pancreatic surgery. Seventy patients underwent robotic pancreatectomy at our institution between September 2020 and October 2022. The Pfannenstiel incision was used for specimen retrieval in 55 patients. Advantages of the Pfannenstiel incision include less pain, cosmetic benefits, and a lower incidence of complications. Moreover, the specimen could be removed using the robotic system docked. However, all complex reconstructions should be performed intra-abdominally during robotic pancreatoduodenectomies. The incidence of mortality and postoperative pancreatic fistula (grade B) was 0% and 9.1%, respectively. During the median follow-up (11.2 months) after surgery, complications at the Pfannenstiel incision site included surgical site infection (n = 1, 1.8%) and incisional hernia (n = 1, 1.8%). The Pfannenstiel incision can be a useful option for specimen retrieval in minimally invasive HPB surgery, according to the surgeon's preferences and the patient's condition.

kn-title=Surgical Techniques of Gastrojejunostomy in Robotic Pancreatoduodenectomy: Robot-Sewn versus Stapled Gastrojejunostomy Anastomosis
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a major complication of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). Several efforts have been made to decrease the incidence of DGE. However, the optimal anastomotic method for gastro/duodenojejunostomy (GJ) remains debatable. Moreover, few studies have reported the impact of GJ surgical techniques on outcomes following robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD). This study aimed to investigate the surgical outcomes of robot-sewn and stapled GJ anastomoses in RPD. Methods: Forty patients who underwent RPD at the Okayama University Hospital between September 2020 and October 2022 were included. The outcomes between robot-sewn and stapled anastomoses were compared. Results: The mean [standard deviation (SD)] operative and GJ time were 428 (63.5) and 34.0 (15.0) minutes, respectively. Postoperative outcomes included an overall incidence of DGE of 15.0%, and the mean postoperative hospital stays were 11.6 (5.3) days in length. The stapled group (n = 21) had significantly shorter GJ time than the robot-sewn group (n = 19) (22.7 min versus 46.5 min, p < 0.001). Moreover, stapled GJ cases were significantly associated with a lower incidence of DGE (0% versus 21%, p = 0.01). Although not significant, the stapled group tended to have shorter postoperative hospital stays (9.9 days versus 13.5 days, p = 0.08). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that stapled GJ anastomosis might decrease anastomotic GJ time and incidence of DGE after RPD. Surgeons should select a suitable method for GJ anastomosis based on their experiences with RPD.

kn-title=Surgical Strategies to Dissect around the Superior Mesenteric Artery in Robotic Pancreatoduodenectomy
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The concept of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA)-first approach has been widely accepted in pancreatoduodenectomy. However, few studies have reported surgical approaches to the SMA in robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD). Herein, we present our surgical strategies to dissect around the SMA in RPD. Among the various approaches, our standard protocol for RPD included the right approach to the SMA, which can result in complete tumor resection in most cases. In patients with malignant diseases requiring lymphadenectomy around the SMA, we developed a novel approach by combining the left and right approaches in RPD. Using this approach, circumferential dissection around the SMA can be achieved through both the left and right sides. This approach can also be helpful in patients with obesity or intra-abdominal adhesions. The present study summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of both the approaches during RPD. To perform RPD safely, surgeons should understand the different surgical approaches and select the best approach or a combination of different approaches, depending on demographic, anatomical, and oncological factors.

kn-title=Clinical implications and optimal extent of lymphadenectomy for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: A multicenter analysis of the therapeutic index
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Aims Lymph node metastases (LNM) are associated with lethal prognosis in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Lymphadenectomy is crucial for accurate staging and hopes of possible oncological treatment. However, the therapeutic implications and optimal extent of lymphadenectomy remain contentious. Methods To clarify the prognostic value and optimal extent of lymphadenectomy, the therapeutic index (TI) for each lymph node was analyzed for 279 cases that had undergone lymphadenectomy in a multi-institutional database. Tumor localization was divided into hilar lesions (n = 130), right peripheral lesions (n = 60), and left peripheral lesions (n = 89). In addition, the lymph node station was classified as Level 1 (LV1: hepatoduodenal ligament node), Level 2 (LV2: postpancreatic or common hepatic artery nodes), or Level 3 (LV3: gastrocardiac, left gastric artery, or celiac artery nodes). Results Lymph node metastases were confirmed in 109 patients (39%). Five-y survival rates were 45.3% for N0 disease, 27.1% for LV1-LNM, 22.9% for LV2-LNM, and 7.3% for LV3-LNM (P < 0.001). LV3-LNM were the most frequent and earliest recurrence outcome, including multisite recurrence, followed by LV2, LV1, and N0 disease. The 5-year TI (5year-TI) for lymphadenectomy was 7.2 for LV1, 5.5 for LV2, and 1.9 for LV3. Regarding tumor location, hilar lesions showed 5-year TI > 5.0 in LV1 and LV2, whereas bilateral peripheral lesions showed 5-year TI > 5.0 in LV1. Conclusion The implications and extent of lymphadenectomy for ICC appear to rely on tumor location. In the peripheral type, the benefit of lymphadenectomy would be limited and dissection beyond LV1 should be avoided, while in the hilar type, lymphadenectomy up to LV2 could be recommended.

kn-title=Clinical impact of lipid injectable emulsion in internal medicine inpatients exclusively receiving parenteral nutrition: a propensity score matching analysis from a Japanese medical claims database
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Although guidelines recommend lipid injectable emulsions (ILEs) be used as a part of parenteral nutrition, many patients in Japan receive lipid-free parenteral nutrition. Furthermore, little is known about the effect of ILEs on clinical outcomes in medical inpatients managed with parenteral nutrition. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical impact of ILEs on internal medicine inpatients receiving parenteral nutrition. Methods A propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed using a medical claims database covering 451 hospitals in Japan. Participants included the following internal medicine inpatients, ages >= 18 years, fasting > 10 days, and receiving exclusively parenteral nutrition, between 2011 and 2020. Participants were divided into 2 groups: those who did and did not receive ILEs. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality. The secondary endpoints included intravenous catheter infection, activities of daily living (ADL), hospital length of stay (LOS), and total medical costs. To adjust for energy doses, logistic or multiple regression analyses were performed using energy dose as an additional explanatory variable. Results After PSM, 19,602 matched pairs were formed out of 61,437 patients. The ILE group had significantly lower incidences than the non-ILE group of in-hospital mortality (20.3% vs. 26.9%; odds ratio [OR], 0.69; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.66-0.72; p < 0.001), deteriorated ADL (10.8% vs. 12.5%; OR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.79-0.92; p < 0.001), and shorter LOS (regression coefficient, - 0.8; 95% CI, - 1.6-0.0; p = 0.045). After adjusting for energy dose, these ORs or regression coefficients demonstrated the same tendencies and statistical significance. The mean total medical costs were $21,009 in the ILE group and $21,402 in the non-ILE group (p = 0.08), and the adjusted regression coefficient for the ILE vs. the non-ILE group was - $860 (95% CI, - $1252 to - $47). Conclusions ILE use was associated with improved clinical outcomes, including lower in-hospital mortality, in internal medicine inpatients receiving parenteral nutrition.

kn-title=Dose-Dependent Effects of Amino Acids on Clinical Outcomes in Adult Medical Inpatients Receiving Only Parenteral Nutrition: A Retrospective Cohort Study Using a Japanese Medical Claims Database
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The majority of inpatients requiring parenteral nutrition (PN) do not receive adequate amino acid, which may negatively impact clinical outcomes. We investigated the influence of amino acid doses on clinical outcomes in medical adult inpatients fasting >10 days and receiving only PN, using Japanese medical claims database. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality, and the secondary endpoints included deterioration of activities of daily living (ADL), intravenous catheter infection, hospital readmission, hospital length of stay (LOS), and total medical costs. Patients were divided into four groups according to their mean prescribed daily amino acid doses from Days 4 to 10 of fasting: Adequate (>= 0.8 g/kg/day), Moderate (>= 0.6-<0.8 g/kg/day), Low (>= 0.4-<0.6 g/kg/day), and Very low (<0.4 g/kg/day). Multivariate logistic or multiple regression analyses were performed with adjustments for patient characteristics (total n = 86,702). The Adequate group was used as the reference in all analyses. For the Moderate, Low, and Very low groups, adjusted ORs (95% CI) of in-hospital mortality were 1.20 (1.14-1.26), 1.43 (1.36-1.51), and 1.72 (1.62-1.82), respectively, and for deterioration of ADL were 1.21 (1.11-1.32), 1.34 (1.22-1.47), and 1.22 (1.09-1.37), respectively. Adjusted regression coefficients (95% CI) of hospital LOS were 1.2 (0.4-2.1), 1.5 (0.6-2.4), and 2.9 (1.8-4.1), respectively. Lower prescribed doses of amino acids were associated with worse clinical outcomes including higher in-hospital mortality.

kn-title=Favorable control of hepatocellular carcinoma with peritoneal dissemination by surgical resection using indocyanine green fluorescence imaging: a case report and review of the literature
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background The optimal management for peritoneal dissemination in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma remains unclear. Although several reports have described the usefulness of surgical resection, the indications should be carefully considered. Herein, we report the case of a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma with peritoneal recurrence who underwent surgical resection using an indocyanine green fluorescence navigation system and achieved favorable disease control. Case presentation A 45-year-old Asian woman underwent left hemihepatectomy for a ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma. Seventeen months after the initial surgery, a single nodule near the cut surface of the liver was detected on computed tomography, along with elevation of tumor markers. The patient was diagnosed with peritoneal metastasis and underwent a surgical resection. Twelve months later, a single nodule on the dorsal side of the right hepatic lobe was detected on computed tomography, and we performed surgical resection. Indocyanine green (0.5 mg/kg) was intravenously administered 3 days before surgery, and the indocyanine green fluorescence imaging system revealed clear green fluorescence in the tumor, which helped us perform complete resection. Indocyanine green fluorescence enabled the detection of additional lesions that could not be identified by preoperative imaging, especially in the second metastasectomy. There was no further recurrence at 3 months postoperatively. Conclusion When considering surgical intervention for peritoneal recurrence in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, complete resection is mandatory. Given that disseminated nodules are sometimes too small to be detected by preoperative imaging studies, intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescence may be an essential tool for determining the indications for surgical resection.

kn-title=Adenomatoid mesothelioma arising from the diaphragm: a case report and review of the literature
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Adenomatoid mesothelioma is a rare subtype of malignant mesothelioma that can be confused with adenomatoid tumors, which are classified as benign. The clinical features and optimal management of adenomatoid mesothelioma have not been elucidated in the literature. In this report, we present an extremely rare case of adenomatoid mesothelioma that developed on the peritoneal surface of the diaphragm as well as a literature review of adenomatoid mesothelioma in the abdominal cavity. Case presentation The patient was a 61-year-old Japanese woman who had undergone resection of a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor of the hand 18 years prior. She was diagnosed with clinical stage I lung adenocarcinoma on follow-up chest radiography. Simultaneously, a 20-mm enhancing nodule with slow growth on the right diaphragm was detected on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. She presented no specific clinical symptoms. At this point, the lesion was suspected to be a hypervascular tumor of borderline malignancy, such as a solitary fibrous tumor. After a left upper lobectomy for lung adenocarcinoma, she was referred to our department, and laparoscopic tumor resection was performed. Adenomatoid tumors were also considered based on the histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses, but we made the final diagnosis of adenomatoid mesothelioma using the results of the genetic profile. The patient remains alive, with no recurrence noted 6 months after surgery. Conclusion We encountered a valuable case of adenomatoid mesothelioma of peritoneal origin. There are some previously reported cases of adenomatoid mesothelioma and adenomatoid tumors that may need to be recategorized according to the current classification. It is important to accumulate and share new findings to clarify the clinicopathological characteristics and genetic status of adenomatoid mesothelioma.

kn-title=Optimal surveillance of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas focusing on remnant pancreas recurrence after surgical resection
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background The international consensus guidelines for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas (IPMN) presented clinical features as indications for surgery. Whereas surveillance for recurrence, including de novo lesions, is essential, optimal surveillance protocols have not been established. Aim and methods This study aimed to assess the clinical features of recurrence at the remnant pancreas (Rem-Panc) and extra-pancreas (Ex-Panc) after surgery for IPMN. Ninety-one patients of IPMN that underwent detailed preoperative assessment and pancreatectomy were retrospectively analyzed, focusing especially on the type of recurrence. Results The IPMNs were finally diagnosed as low-grade dysplasia (LDA, n = 42), high-grade dysplasia (HAD, n = 19), and invasive carcinoma (IPMC, n = 30). Recurrence was observed in 26 patients (29%), of which recurrence was seen at Rem-Panc in 19 patients (21%) and Ex-Panc in 7 patients (8%). The frequency of Rem-Panc recurrence was 10% in LDA, 21% in HDA, and 37% in IPMC. On the other hand, Ex-Panc recurrence was observed only in IPMC (23%). Ex-Panc recurrence showed shorter median recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) than Rem-Panc recurrence (median RFS 8 months vs. 35 months, p < 0.001; median OS 25 months vs. 72 months, p < 0.001). Regarding treatment for Rem-Panc recurrence, repeat pancreatectomy resulted in better OS than no repeat pancreatectomy (MST 36 months vs. 15.5 months, p = 0.033). On multivariate analysis, main duct stenosis or disruption as a preoperative feature (hazard ratio [HR] 10.6, p = 0.002) and positive surgical margin (HR 4.4, p = 0.018) were identified as risk factors for Rem-Panc recurrence. Conclusions The risk factors for Rem-Panc and Ex-Panc recurrence differ. Therefore, optimal surveillance on these features is desirable to ensure that repeat pancreatectomy for Rem-Panc recurrence can be an appropriate surgical intervention.

kn-title=Surgical resection of mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasm in the biliary system: a report of two cases
en-subtitle=

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasm (MINEN) is a rare disease and there is scarce literature on its diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. We encountered two unusual cases of MINEN in the biliary tract, one in the ampulla of Vater and the other in the distal bile duct. In this report, we describe the clinical course of these two cases in detail. Case presentation Case 1: A 69-year-old woman presented with a chief complaint of epigastric pain. When endoscopic sphincterotomy and retrograde biliary drainage were performed for gallstone pancreatitis, an ulcerated lesion was found in the ampulla of the Vater. Based on the biopsy results, the lesion was diagnosed as the ampulla of Vater carcinoma and subtotal stomach-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy (SSPPD) was performed. Postoperative histopathological examination revealed the coexistence of adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma components, consistent with the diagnosis of MINEN. In addition, lymph node metastasis was found on the dorsal side of the pancreas and the metastatic component was adenocarcinoma. Adjuvant chemotherapy with etoposide and cisplatin was administered for 6 months, and presently the patient is alive without recurrence 64 months after surgery. Case 2: A 79-year-old man presented with a chief complaint of anorexia. Cholangiography showed severe stenosis of the distal bile duct. A biopsy was conducted from the stenotic lesion and it revealed the lesion to be adenocarcinoma. A diagnosis of distal bile duct carcinoma was made, and SSPPD was performed. Histopathological examination revealed the coexistence of adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma components, and the tumor was confirmed as MINEN of the distal bile duct. No adjuvant chemotherapy was administered due to the poor performance status. 7 months later, the patient was found to have a liver metastasis. Conclusion We experienced two valuable cases of biliary MINEN. To identify better treatments, it is important to consider the diversity of individual cases and to continue sharing a variety of cases with different presentations.

kn-title=Left Hemihepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Following Esophagectomy with Retrosternal Gastric Tube Reconstruction for Esophageal Cancer
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Approximately 4% of patients with esophageal cancer develop a second primary malignancy in the upper gastrointestinal trunk. However, hepatectomy following esophagectomy for esophageal cancer has rarely been reported. We report the case of a 70-year-old man who underwent an esophagectomy for esophageal cancer with retrosternal gastric tube reconstruction. Nine years later, he developed hepatocellular carcinoma with tumor thrombus involving the left portal vein, and was successfully treated with left hemihepatectomy. Special attention should be paid to avoiding incidental injury of the gastric tube as well as the right gastroepiploic artery during the hepatectomy.

kn-title=Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor of the accessory papilla of the duodenum: a case report
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=BackgroundContrary to the increasing incidence of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs), GEP-NETs of the accessory papilla of the duodenum are extremely rare. Furthermore, there have been no recommendations regarding the treatment strategy for GEP-NETs of the accessory papilla of the duodenum. We present a case of GEP-NET of the accessory papilla of the duodenum successfully treated with robotic pancreatoduodenectomy.Case presentationA case of a 70-year-old complaining of no symptoms was diagnosed with GEP-NET of the accessory papilla of the duodenum. A 8-mm tumor was located at the submucosal layer with a biopsy demonstrating a neuroendocrine tumor grade 1. The patient underwent robotic pancreatoduodenectomy as curative resection for the tumor. The total operative time was 406 min with an estimated blood loss of 150 mL. The histological examination revealed a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor with low Ki-67 index (<1%). In the posterior areas of the pancreas, the lymph node metastases were detected. The patient was followed up for 6 months with no recurrence postoperatively.ConclusionsConsidering the potential risks of the lymph node metastases, the standard treatment strategy for GEP-NETs of the accessory papilla of the duodenum should be radical resection with pancreatoduodenectomy. Minimally invasive approach can be the alternative to the conventional open surgery.

kn-title=Learning curves of minimally invasive donor nephrectomy in a high-volume center: A cohort study of 1895 consecutive living donors
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background<br/>
Few studies have investigated the learning curves of minimally invasive donor nephrectomy (MIDN) using the cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis. In addition, no study has compared the learning curves of the different surgical MIDN techniques in one cohort study using the CUSUM analysis. This study aims to evaluate and compare learning curves for several MIDN using the CUSUM analysis. <br/>
Methods<br/>
A retrospective review of consecutive donors, who underwent MIDN between 1997 and 2019, was conducted. Three laparoscopic-assisted techniques were applied in our institution and included for analysis: laparoscopic (LDN), hand-assisted retroperitoneoscopic (HARP), and robot-assisted laparoscopic (RADN) donor nephrectomy. The outcomes were compared based on surgeon volume to develop learning curves for the operative time per surgeon. <br/>
Results<br/>
Out of 1895 MIDN, 1365 (72.0%) were LDN, 427 (22.5%) were HARP, and 103 (5.4%) were RADN. The median operative time and median blood loss were 179 (IQR, 139–230) minutes and 100 (IQR, 40–200) mL, respectively. The incidence of major complication was 1.2% with no mortality, and the median hospital stay was three (IQR, 3–4) days. The CUSUM analysis resulted in learning curves, defined by decreased operative time, of 23 cases in LDN, 45 cases in HARP, and 26 cases in RADN. <br/>
Conclusions<br/>
Our study shows different learning curves in three MIDN techniques with equal post-operative complications. The LDN and RADN learning curves are shorter than that of the hand-assisted donor nephrectomy. Our observations can be helpful for informing the development of teaching requirements for fellows to be trained in MIDN.

kn-title=Surgical training model and safe implementation of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy in Japan: a technical note
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background</br>
Growing evidence for the advantages of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) has been demonstrated internationally. However, there has been no structured training program for RPD in Japan. Herein, we present the surgical training model of RPD and a standardized protocol for surgical technique.</br>
Methods</br>
The surgical training model and surgical technique were standardized in order to implement RPD safely, based on the Dutch training system collaborated with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.</br>
Results</br>
The surgical training model included various trainings such as basic robotic training, simulation training, biotissue training, and a surgical video review. Furthermore, a standardized protocol on the surgical technique was established to understand the tips, tricks, and pitfalls of RPD.</br>
Conclusions</br>
Safe implementation of RPD can be achieved through the completion of a structured training program and learning surgical technique. A nationwide structured training system should be developed to implement the program safely in Japan.

kn-title=Hemobilia after bile duct resection: perforation of pseudoaneurysm into intra-pancreatic remnant bile duct: a case report
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background</br>
Hemobilia occurs mainly due to iatrogenic factors such as impairment of the right hepatic or cystic artery, and/or common bile duct in hepatobiliary-pancreatic surgery. However, little or no cases with hemobilia from the intra-pancreatic remnant bile duct after bile duct resection (BDR) has been reported. Here, we report a case of massive hemobilia due to the perforation of psuedoaneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery (GDA) to the intra-pancreatic remnant bile duct after hepatectomy with BDR.</br>
Case presentation</br>
A 68-year-old male underwent extended right hepatectomy with BDR for gallbladder carcinoma. He presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding 2 months after the initial surgery. Upper endoscopy identified a blood clot from the ampulla of Vater and simultaneous endoscopic balloon tamponade contributed to temporary hemostasis. Abdominal CT and angiography revealed a perforation of the psuedoaneurysm of the GDA to the intra-pancreatic remnant bile duct resulting in massive hemobilia. Subsequent selective embolization of the pseudoaneurysm with micro-coils could achieve complete hemostasis. He survived without any recurrence of cancer and bleeding.</br>
Conclusion</br>
Hemobilia could occur in a patient with BDR due to perforation of the pseudoaneurysm derived from the GDA to the intra-pancreatic remnant bile duct. Endoscopic balloon tamponade was useful for a temporal hemostasis and a subsequent radiologic interventional approach.

kn-title=A novel modified hanging maneuver in laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Introduction</br>
The liver hanging maneuver is an essential technique for controlling bleeding in hepatectomy, however it is often difficult in laparoscopic major hepatectomy. The present study describes a novel modified hanging maneuver in laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy.</br>
Presentation of case</br>
A 29-year-old female underwent laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy for mucinous cystic neoplasm. After mobilizing the left lobe, the liver parenchyma was dissected along the demarcation line. For the hanging technique, the upper edge of the hanging tape was placed on the lateral side of the left hepatic vein, and fixed with the Falciform ligament. The lower edge of the tape was extracted outside the abdomen. Accordingly the hanging tape can be controlled extraperitoneally during the liver parenchyma dissection.</br>
Discussion</br>
This technique includes several advantages including no need of assistance using forceps, easy control of the hanging tape extraperitoneally, outflow control, better exposure of surgical field, and helpful guide of the liver dissection line toward the root of the left hepatic vein.
Conclusion</br>
Our novel modified hanging maneuver is easy and reproducible to use in laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy. Moreover, this technique can be applied to other laparoscopic hepatectomy.

kn-title=Learning curve of kidney transplantation in a high-volume center: A Cohort study of 1466 consecutive recipients
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background</br>
The purpose of this study was to evaluate surgical outcomes of kidney transplantation (KTX) based on surgeon volume and surgeon experience, and to develop the learning curve model for KTX using the cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis.</br>
Methods</br>
A retrospective review of 1466 consecutive recipients who underwent KTX between 2010 and 2017 was conducted. In total, 51 surgeons, including certified transplant surgeons, transplant fellows and surgical residents were involved in these procedures using a standardized protocol. Outcomes were compared based on surgeon volume (low [1–30] versus high [31≥] volume) and surgeon's type (consultant surgeons, fellows or residents).</br>
Results</br>
Operative time (129 versus 135 min, P < 0.001) and warm ischemia time (20.9 versus 24.2 min, P < 0.001) were significantly shorter in the high-volume group, however postoperative outcomes were equal in both groups. The CUSUM analysis revealed that approximately 30 procedures were necessary to improve surgical skills. In addition, no effect of surgeon's type including consultant surgeons, fellows and residents on postoperative outcomes was found.</br>
Conclusions</br>
Surgical training in KTX using a standardize protocol can be accomplished with a steep learning curve without compromising perioperative outcomes under the careful selection of surgeons and procedures.

kn-title=Laparoscopic liver resection of segment seven: A case report and review of surgical techniques
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Introduction</br>
Laparoscopic liver resection of segment seven (LLR-S7) is a technically challenging procedure due to its anatomical location and difficult accessibility. Herein, we present our experience with LLR-S7, and demonstrate a literature review regarding surgical techniques.</br>
Presentation of case</br>
A 28-year-old female was diagnosed with rectosigmoid cancer and synchronous liver metastases at the segment three (S3) and S7, which were treated with laparoscopic procedure. After the completely mobilization of the right lobe, the Glissonean pedicle of S7 (G7) was intrahepatically transected. The right hepatic vein was exposed to identify the venous branch of S7 (V7). Finally the liver parenchyma between RHV and dissection line was divided.</br>
Discussion</br>
Various laparoscopic approaches for S7 have been reported including the Glissonian approach from the hilum, the intrahepatic Glissonean approach, the caudate lobe first approach, and the lateral approach from intercostal ports. To perform LLR-S7 safely, it is important to understand the advantage of each technique including the trocar placement and approaches to S7 by laparoscopy.</br>
Conclusion</br>
We present our experience of LLR-S7 for the tumor located at the top of S7, successfully performed with the intrahepatic Glissonean approach. LLR-S7 can be performed safely with advanced laparoscopic techniques and sufficient knowledge on various approaches for S7.

kn-title=Prognostic significance of the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in patients undergoing hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: The clinical value of the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has increased. The aim of this meta-analysis was to systematically review the association between the CONUT score and outcomes in patients undergoing hepatectomy for HCC. <br/>
Methods: Embase, Medline Ovid, Web of Science, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Google Scholar were systematically searched. Random effects meta-analyses were conducted to examine the prognostic value of the CONUT score in HCC patients. <br/>
Results: A total of five studies including 4679 patients were found to be eligible and analyzed in the meta-analysis. The CONUT score was significantly associated with overall survival (HR 1.78, 95%CI = 1.20-2.64, P = 0.004, I-2 = 79%), recurrence-free survival (HR 1.34, 95%CI = 1.17-1.53, P < 0.001, I-2 = 16%) and postoperative major complications (OR 1.85, 95%CI: 1.19-2.87, P = 0.006, I-2 = 72%) in HCC patients. Moreover, the CONUT score was associated with the Child-Pugh classification, liver cirrhosis, ICGR15, and tumor differentiation. However, it was not associated with tumor size, tumor number, and microvascular invasion. <br/>
Conclusions: The CONUT score is an independent prognostic indicator of the prognosis and is associated with postoperative major complications and hepatic functional reserve in HCC patients.
