Preoperative Prediction of Microvascular Invasion with Gadoxetic Acid-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Single Hepatocellular Carcinoma: The Implication of Surgical Decision on the Extent of Liver Resection.

INTRODUCTION: Microvascular invasion (MVI) is one of the most important prognostic factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence, but its application in preoperative clinical decisions is limited. This study aimed to identify preoperative predictive factors for MVI in HCC and further evaluate oncologic outcomes of different types and extents of hepatectomy according to stratified risk of M...

Perioperative Outcomes of Vesicovaginal Fistula Repair by Surgical Approach.

IMPORTANCE: Data comparing perioperative outcomes between transvaginal, transabdominal, and laparoscopic/robotic vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) repair are limited but are important for surgical planning and patient counseling.

Complete mesocolic excision versus standard resection for colon cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis of perioperative safety and an evaluation of the use of a robotic approach.

PURPOSE: Complete mesocolic excision (CME) has been associated with improved oncological outcomes in treatment of colon cancer. However, widespread ad...

Open versus robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for highly complex renal masses: a meta-analysis of perioperitive and functional outcomes.
