Prospective randomized controlled trial investigating the type of sutures used during hepatectomy.

TL;DR: Of the primary outcomes, the only one with evidence of a difference from more than one trial under the pair-wise comparison was in the number of adverse events (complications), which was higher with radiofrequency dissecting sealer than with the clamp-crush method.

TL;DR: In patients with HCC, posthepatectomy complications are predictive of a worse overall survival, even when adjustments have been made for other known predictors.

TL;DR: The benefits and harms of continuous compared with interrupted skin closure techniques in participants undergoing non-obstetric surgery are compared and the continuous suture technique with absorbable suture does not require suture removal and provides support for the wound for a longer period of time.

TL;DR: High ASA scores, anemia, chronic hepatitis or liver cirrhosis, and prolonged operations increased therisk of incisional SSIs; concomitant bowel surgery increased the risk of organ/space SSI.

TL;DR: The “Guideline for Prevention of Surgical Site Infection, 1999” presents the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommendations for the prevention of surgical site infections (SSIs), formerly called surgical wound infections, and replaces previous guidelines.

TL;DR: Patients with bile leakage from the hepatic hilum and postoperative uncontrollable ascites tend to have a poor prognosis, especially when a high-risk surgical procedure is performed in patients with liver cirrhosis, and more careful surgical procedures and use of an intraoperative biles leakage test are recommended.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to identify the perioperative risk factors for postoperative bile leakage after hepatic resection and to propose a treatment strategy for such leakage when it does occur, and to show that patients with involvement of the proximal bile duct were slower to heal than those with no demonstrable biles duct involvement.
