International Benchmark Values for Robotic Right Hepatectomy: Multicenter Study...
Müller, Philip C; Aegerter, Noa L E; Billeter, Adrian T; Eden, Janina; Moeckli, Beat; Lin, Charles Chung-Wei; Abe, Yuta; Nakano, YutakaObjective: This study aimed to identify benchmark values for robotic right hepatectomy (RH) based on a low-risk cohort treated at expert centers. Background: Robotic liver surgery is emerging as a preferred minimally invasive approach to the liver. To enable conclusive comparisons with the standard open or laparoscopic approaches, reference values are needed. Methods: Outcomes from consecutive patients undergoi...
Impact of Parathyroidectomy on Kidney Function in Adults With Primary Hyperpara...
Bandovas, João Pedro; Candeias, Henrique; Mourão, Mariana; Dhanani, Anjum; Monteiro, Nuno; Crespo, Ana; Tavares, Paula; Pinto Marques, HugoIntroduction Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is characterized by persistent hypercalcemia and is associated with renal complications, including nephrolithiasis and progressive decline in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Although parathyroidectomy (PTX) is the definitive treatment, its impact on renal function remains uncertain, particularly in patients with pre-existing renal impairment. This...

Predictive Model for Very Early Recurrence of Patients with Perihilar Cholangio...
Kawashima, Jun; Endo, Yutaka; Rashid, Zayed; Altaf, Abdullah; Woldesenbet, Selamawit; Tsilimigras, Diamantis I; Guglielmi, Alfredo; Pinto Marques, HugoBackground: Although offering the best chance of potential cure for patients with localized perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA), resection has been associated with high morbidity and sometimes poor long-term outcomes due to recurrence. We sought to develop a predictive model to identify individuals at high risk for very early recurrence (VER) after curative-intent surgery for pCCA. Methods: Patients who underwe...
Enhancing Recurrence-Free Survival Prediction in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Ti...
Akabane, Miho; Kawashima, Jun; Altaf, Abdullah; Woldesenbet, Selamawit; Cauchy, François; Aucejo, Federico; Popescu, Irinel; Kitago, MinoruBackground: Existing models to predict recurrence-free survival (RFS) after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) rely on static preoperative factors such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and tumor burden score (TBS). These models overlook dynamic postoperative AFP changes, which may reflect evolving recurrence risk. We sought to develop a dynamic, real-time model integrating time-updated AFP values with TBS...
The Influence of Tumor Burden Score and Lymph Node Metastasis on the Survival B...
Kawashima, Jun; Endo, Yutaka; Woldesenbet, Selamawit; Khalil, Mujtaba; Akabane, Miho; Cauchy, François; Shen, Feng; Maithel, Shishir; Popescu, IrinelIntroduction: While postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) is generally recommended for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), its benefit remains debated. This study aimed to identify patients that may benefit from AC following liver resection of ICC. Methods: Patients who underwent liver resection for ICC between 2000 and 2023 were identified from an international multi-institutional database. Individual mu...
Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Colonization or Infection Was Not Assoc...
Caria, João; Gonçalves, Ana C; Cristóvão, Gonçalo; Carlos, Maria; Magalhães, Sara; Almeida, Vasco; Moreno, Fernanda; Mateus, Élia; Pinheiro, HélderIntroduction: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) epidemiology among liver transplant (LT) recipients is variable. We studied the impact of CRE colonization and infection on LT recipients' outcomes. Methods: This observational cohort study included consecutive adult LT recipients between January 2019 and December 2020 at Curry Cabral Hospital, Lisbon, Portugal. Primary exposures were CRE colonization ...
A Composite Endpoint of Liver Surgery (CELS): Development and Validation of a C...
Kawashima, Jun; Akabane, Miho; Endo, Yutaka; Woldesenbet, Selamawit; Khalil, Mujtaba; Sahara, Kota; Ruzzenente, Andrea; Aldrighetti, Luca; Bauer, Todd WBackground: The feasibility of trials in liver surgery using a single-component clinical endpoint is low because single endpoints require large samples due to their low incidence. The current study sought to develop and validate a novel composite endpoint of liver surgery (CELS) to facilitate the generation of more feasible and robust high-level evidence in the field of liver surgery. Methods: Patients who unde...
Lymphocyte-C-Reactive Protein Ratio: Impact on Prognosis of Patients Following ...
Altaf, Abdullah; Baldo, Andrea; Khalil, Mujtaba; Rashid, Zayed; Akabane, Miho; Zindani, Shahzaib; Sarfraz, Azza; Ruzzenente, Andrea; Aldrighetti, LucaObjective: We sought to characterize the prognostic value of lymphocyte-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) among patients undergoing liver resection (LR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Methods: Patients who underwent curative-intent LR for HCC and ICC between 2000 and 2023 were identified from a multiinstitutional database. The prognostic value of nine different inflam...
Robotic Unilateral Axilo-Breast Approach (R-UABA) Gas-Insufflated Thyroidectomy...
Mourão, Mariana; Guerreiro, Sofia Cuco; Tavares, Paula; Pinto Marques, HugoRemote access thyroid surgery demand has increased due to the burden of a visible neck scar. Several surgical techniques have been proposed over the years. We report the surgical modified technique of a robotic unilateral axillo-breast approach (R-UABA) gas-insufflated hemithyroidectomy without hyperextension of the arm. This approach combines the advantages of the use of the robotic platform, to the use of a t...
