Difficulty of Laparoscopic Liver Resection: Proposal for a New Classification.

TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective multicenter cohort of patients undergoing liver surgery and exposed to the Enhanced Recovery Program from 2016 to 2020 in France was analyzed, and the outcomes were the rate of complications, length of stay, and functional recovery according to enhanced recovery program compliance.

TL;DR: In this article , a French multicenter study of patients undergoing laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) between 1996 and 2018 was conducted, where short-term outcomes and TO were compared between obese (ob) and nonobese (non-ob) patients.

TL;DR: LLR can be safely adopted for resections of all difficulty grades, including major resections and for tumours located in the difficult posterosuperior segments, with a low open conversion rate.

TL;DR: This study shows that laparoscopic major hepatectomy using the modified liver hanging maneuver has a learning curve of 30 cases and that operative time and blood loss improved after the 30th laparoscope major hepATEctomy.

TL;DR: EZR enables the application of statistical functions that are frequently used in clinical studies, such as survival analyses, including competing risk analyses and the use of time-dependent covariates, receiver operating characteristics analyses, meta-analyses, sample size calculation and so on, by point-and-click access.

TL;DR: This 5-year evaluation provides strong evidence that the classification of complications is valid and applicable worldwide in many fields of surgery, and subjective, inaccurate, or confusing terms such as “minor or major” should be removed from the surgical literature.

TL;DR: In this cohort of initially healthy women, nonfasting triglyceride levels were associated with incident cardiovascular events, independent of traditional cardiac risk factors, levels of other lipids, and markers of insulin resistance; by contrast, fasting triglycerides showed little independent relationship.

TL;DR: A uniform definition and severity grading of bile leakage is proposed to enable a standardized comparison of the results of different clinical trials and may facilitate an objective evaluation of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in the field of hepatobiliary and pancreatic operative therapy.
