Filter by:This study adopted a retrospective study method to explore the clinical application value of 3D visualization combined with ICG molecular fluorescence imaging technology in hepatolithiasis, and further analyze whether 3D visualization combined with ICG molecular fluorescence imaging technology can improve the prognosis of hepatolithiasis by comparing with conventional surgery.
Laparoscopic Hepatectomy (LH) is an important treatment for liver diseases, and bleeding is one of the most common complications during dissection of the liver parenchyma. Control Low Central Venous Pressure (CLCVP) technique is currently one of the most important techniques to control intraoperative bleeding. It mainly consists of fluid restriction, position adjustment and use of vasodilators. However, these measures focus on decreasing CVP by reducing the volume of return blood, and less attention is paid to factors such as pulmonary vascular resistance and cardiac function. Sildenafil, known as Viagra, is currently used to treat erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension in men. Its mechanism of action is to inhibit phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) and increase cGMP levels leading to smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilation. Its pharmacological properties provide potential value for the treatment of many diseases. However, few studies have been conducted both domestically and internationally on the use of sildenafil citrate in LH related to CLCVP. The aim of this study is to investigate the following aspects: 1) the feasibility and effectiveness of sildenafil citrate applied to control low central venous pressure in LH, such as intraoperative bleeding, the impact of CVP, and the surgeon's operative field grading to assess the value of its clinical application; 2) the impact of sildenafil citrate applied to the function of the liver and important organs of the kidneys of the patients after LH surgery as well as the incidence of postoperative complications, and to assess the clinical application of its Safety.

It has been reported that music can be used as an alternative non-pharmacological method to reduce pain and anxiety in the perioperative period, as well as surgical stress and the related stress response. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that music used as a non-pharmacological method in the intraoperative period can reduce inflammatory response in living donor hepatectomy.
Our primary aim is to investigate whether perioperative remote ischemic conditioning (PRIC) as an adjunctive treatment can improve postoperative recovery in patients undergoing hepatectomy as an adjunct to standard treatment.
Multimodal intraoperative minimal-invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) liver surgery images will be registered to each other. Explicitly, these are the ultrasound and laparoscope images. Once they are registered, they will reveal the hidden tumor's location to the surgeon in real time through augmented reality. The intraoperative augmentation will also be enriched with the preoperative data (e.g., CT or MRI). This will simplify minimal invasive liver surgery, improve surgical safety and accuracy. It will also shorten hospital stays and contribute to an overall better quality of life for the patient, which in return will reduce the health-care costs.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth prevalent malignancy worldwide. Although surgical excision is considered the standard treatment for resectable HCC, a high rate of postoperative recurrence was observed after partial hepatectomy, with a marginal recurrence rate up to 30%. Narrow margin resection may be the most appropriate procedure for centrally located HCC or HCC located near liver capsule because the premise for survival is the conservation of more normal liver parenchyma. Unfortunately, narrow margin resection has been reported to contribute to poor survival outcomes. However, no adjuvant therapy after hepatectomy is generally considered to be effective in reducing post-operative recurrence. Radiotherapy (RT) has been well used in many solid malignant tumors as an (neo)adjuvant to surgical treatment, including HCC. SBRT has shown encouraging rates of local control for HCC. Compared with standard fractionation radiation, SBRT can achieve more precise delivery of high-dose radiation beams to the lesion, obtaining a much smaller target volume. Meanwhile, it could be finished in a short period which can bring more convenience to patients. Recently, several study and randomized controlled trials revealed the survival benefit of adjuvant RT (IMRT and SBRT) in patients with HCC. A large-sample and high-quality multi-center, randomized controlled, prospective study is warranted to further confirm the efficacy of adjuvant radiotherapy in patients with narrow margin resection, considering the small sample size of above-mentioned studies.

Recently, several study and randomized controlled trials revealed the survival benefit of adjuvant RT (IMRT and SBRT) in patients with HCC. However, there are still lack of exploration for the efficacy of neoadjuvant SBRT. This study is to analyze the safety of preoperative SBRT followed by hepatectomy for centrally located hepatocellular carcinoma.

Postoperative complications, in particular infectious, can occur in 10 to 60% of cases and are the cause of postoperative revision in 30% of cases, an increase in mortality, length of stay, readmissions and lead to significant additional socio-economic costs. Currently, improvements in surgical practices have not reduced the incidence of surgical site complications. In this context, the development of predictive scores for the risk of post-operative complication becomes urgent in order to implement new interventions (pre-habilitation) or to modify surgical decisions (timing, approach) in order to reduce the risk of complications before surgery. Several recent studies highlights the importance of the immune response in postoperative prognosis. In particular, an imbalance between the adaptive and innate response involving MDSCs has been demonstrated in patients with postoperative complications.Thanks to new techniques for analyzing the immune system, in-depth analysis of the immune system before surgery is a very promising approach aimed at identifying predictive biomarkers of postoperative prognosis. Our team has developed and patented a multivariate model integrating mass cytometry data, proteomics and clinical data collected before surgery to accurately predict the occurrence of a surgical site complication (AUC = 0.94, p<10e-7) in a monocentric cohort of 43 patients to major abdominal surgery (Stanford University). The objective of the present study is to generalize and validate this preoperative predictive score of infectious complications of the surgical site in the 30 days following major digestive surgery on a larger workforce within a multicenter cohort and to validate this score at using a machine learning method.
