Preoperative chemotherapy for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM) could induce hepatic atrophy. A higher degree of atrophy does not impact on postoperative morbidity, hepatic insufficiency and death in patients with CLM when undergoing post-chemotherapy resection with a parenchymal sparing procedure.
Laparoscopic hepatectomy and near-infrared fluorescence based on the concept of “biliary territory” in the treatment of hepatolithiasis: a propensity score-matched study with videos

The study introduced the innovative concept of 'biliary territory' for near-infrared fluorescence (NIF) guidance during laparoscopic hepatectomy. This approach demonstrated potential advantages in reducing perioperative complications and stone recurrence compared with traditional white light laparoscopy.

Some short-term and intraoperative outcomes of GBC patients after LR were better, but the long-term outcomes did not significantly differ between patients who underwent LR and those who underwent OR. The use of AC after curative-intent resection of GBC helped achieve better long-term survival outcomes.

The recently introduced terminologies MASLD, MetALD and ALD refer to different types of SLD associated with varying alcohol intake. They represent distinct conditions in terms of prevalence in the SLD population and mortality risks.
Endothelial glycocalyx damage marker syndecan-1 during hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion of donor grafts facilitates prediction of early allograft dysfunction after liver transplantation

Endothelial glycocalyx is highly sensitive to IRI. Its main component Syndecan-1 (Sdc-1) was evaluated as biomarker at multiple time points during hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) for liver transplantation. Sdc-1 at 60 minutes during HOPE allowed identification grafts with severe risk of early allograft dysfunction.
