Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is one of the most feared morbidities after liver resection (LR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We aimed to investigate the incidence and predictors of PHLF after LR for HCC and its impact on survival outcomes. We reviewed the patients who underwent LR for HCC during the period between January 2010 and 201...

The liver hanging maneuver (LHM) was described by Belghiti et al. to facilitate liver resection and is done classically by creating a space between the caudate lobe and the inferior vena cava starting on the edge of caudate lobe and extending cranially, in a para-caval fashion, towards the space between the right and middle hepatic veins. LHM facil...

One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is a relatively novel technique with excellent outcomes, comparable to most accepted procedures. Our aim was to compare OAGB and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in terms of percent of excess weight lost (%EWL) and resolution of comorbidities. Thirty-three patients were randomly assigned (1:2) to two groups (OAG...

Surgery remains the cornerstone of esophageal cancer treatment but is burdened with high procedure-related morbidity. Anastomotic leakage as the most important surgical complication after esophagectomy is a key indicator for quality in surgical outcome research. The aim of this narrative review is to assess and summarize the current knowledge on pr...

In esophageal cancer surgery, the significance of preserving the azygos arch during thoracoscopic esophagectomy remains unknown. To determine the significance, we examined the difference in postoperative courses between patients who underwent an azygos arch-preserving technique and patients whose azygos arch had been dissected. We retrospectively a...

Insertion of a nutritional jejunostomy in conjunction with esophagectomy is performed with the intention to decrease the risk for postoperative malnutrition and improve recovery without adding significant catheter-related complications. However, previous research has shown no clear benefit and there is currently no consensus of practice. All patien...

Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has been increasingly used, but many reports have stated that recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy after MIE is a major complication associated with postoperative pneumonia. Prevention of RLN palsy clearly has been a challenging task. The study aim was to determine if a three-dimensional (3-D) stereoscopic vi...

The COVID-19 pandemic has reformed global healthcare delivery. On 25 March 2020, Intercollegiate guidelines were published in the UK to promote safe surgical provision during the COVID-19 outbreak advocating non-operative management or avoidance of laparoscopy when surgery is essential. The effects of this on the investigation and management of app...

Increased model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score measured in the early postoperative course is associated with one-year mortality and graft loss. However, the correlation with postoperative complications has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between postoperative MELD score and subsequent compli...
