    Abstract Liver surgery is highly demanding for anatomical, physiological and technical reasons, and minimally invasive approaches have been implemented at a slower rate. Today, laparoscopic liver resection is a standard of care in many occasions, yet specific operations remain particularly challenging and generally performed in open surgery. In particular, SVIII resection may be considered one of the most difficult due to anatomical characteristics including its sub-diaphragmatic position, the deep-lying Glissonean pedicle and the close contact with the inferior vena cava and right and middle hepatic veins. Many techniques have risen to overcome technical difficulties, and today laparoscopic SVIII resection has been demonstrated to be feasible. This review provides a complete picture of current approaches, focusing on all techniques reported so far with critical appraisal of each, discussing and explaining benefits and pitfalls.

    Abstract Liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may be performed ab initio, primary liver transplantation (PLT), or for HCC recurrence after previous treatments such as liver resection (LR) or radiofrequency ablation (RFA), salvage liver transplantation (SLT). The aim of this study was to evaluate the oncological outcomes of SLT vs. PLT. For this, a retrospective study was carried out on patients undergoing liver transplantation for HCC. The outcomes of PLT were compared with those of SLT. The primary outcome was disease-free survival (DFS). The secondary outcomes included overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and major postoperative complications. A sub-analysis of SLT-LR and SLT-RFA was also performed. In total, 141 patients were included: 96 underwent PLT and 45 SLT. Among the SLT group, 25 patients had undergone previous LR while 20 had had RFA. There were no differences in the major postoperative complications. Unadjusted DFS was significantly longer in the PLT group (

    Abstract Background: Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is becoming essential in the treatment of malignant liver tumors but only a few reports exist about LLR for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC).
    Methods: We present a video of a laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy with lymphadenectomy for IHCC.
    Case presentation: A 67-year-old asymptomatic male underwent a routine abdominal ultrasound, revealing a 15 × 9 mm solid nodular iso-hyperechoic lesion, located in SIII, with SII/III biliary duct dilation. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a 32 × 22 mm lesion in SII/III, with mild hyper-intensity on T2-weighted images and strong hypo-intensity on T1-weighted images. After administration of contrast medium, the lesion showed light peripheral enhancement on the portal and delayed phases, and hypo-intensity on the hepatospecific phase. No relevant comorbidities were reported (KPS 100). Laboratory tests showed normal liver function and normal CA19-9 levels. A laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy was indicated.
    Results: Operative time was 330 min. Four intermittent Pringle maneuver cycles were applied and no blood transfusions were administered. Intraoperative ultrasound confirmed preoperative findings and additionally highlighted involvement of the SIV duct. A full replacing right hepatic artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery was identified and was preserved during hilar dissection. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 3. The pathology report indicated cholangiocellular carcinoma pT1bN0. Twelve lymph nodes were retrieved.
    Conclusions: According to recent literature reports and our experience, laparoscopic surgery for intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma should be considered feasible and safe in selected patients. Hepatic artery variations allow for adequate lymphadenectomy. Oncological long-term results require multicenter randomized studies in order to be validated.

    Abstract Almost 20% of patients with congenital posterior urethral valves (PUV) reach end-stage kidney disease requiring kidney transplantation (KT). An augmentation cystoplasty (AC) is performed to treat significant lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) which can persist afterwards due to residual valve bladder and lead to recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and a worse graft survival. Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) is a minimally invasive second-line neuromodulation therapy approved for the treatment of non-neurogenic LUTD performed in the outpatient setting. Herein, we reported the case of significant improvement of bladder voiding pattern and yearly UTI rates through PTNS in a 32-year-old male KT recipient with a history of congenital PUV and AC. The patient was referred to our institution at the beginning of 2019 for urgency, high post-void residual volume (PVR) and recurrent clinically significant UTIs (3 to 4/y). After assessment, the patient attended once-weekly 30-minute sessions of PTNS for 12 consecutive weeks. A significant improvement of urodynamic and infectious outcomes was observed through 3-day bladder diaries, questionnaires, and laboratory exams during the subsequent 3 years of regular follow-up. The present results might be significant for the prevention of antibiotic resistance and for better graft survival in KT recipients. We successfully treated a patient with AC, implying that the technique may be appliable also in this case. Neuromodulation in KT is still an unexplored field of research, we advocate for prospective assessment of the efficacy of PTNS in these patients, as reproducible results might lead to life-changing improvements.

    Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, occurring predominantly in patients with underlying chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. Here, we describe a case of a 62-year-old man that was admitted to our hospital and diagnosed with HCC where the cancer has already metastasized to the retroperitoneum and peritoneum. In order to better characterize the HCC, both the cancerous liver tissue and the adjacent normal liver tissue of the patient were collected and subjected to a genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic analysis. Our patient carries a highly mutated HCC, which is characterized by both somatic mutation in the following genes ALK, CDK6, TP53, PGR. In addition, we observe several molecular alterations that are associated with potential therapy resistance, for example the expression of the organic-anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) family members B1 and B3, that mediate the transport of the anticancer drugs, has been found decreased. Overall, our molecular profiling potentially classify the patient with poor prognosis and possibly displaying resistance to pharmacological therapy.

    Abstract The development of new systemic treatment strategies has resulted in a significant increase in the response rates of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) in the last few years. Although the radiological response is a favorable prognostic factor, complete shrinkage of CRLM, known as disappearing liver metastases (DLM), presents a therapeutic dilemma, and proper management is still debated in the literature. In fact, DLM is not necessarily equal to cure, and when resected, pathological examination reveals in more than 80% of patients a variable percentage of the tumor as residual disease or early recurrence in situ. Moreover, while a higher incidence of intrahepatic recurrence is documented in small series when surgery is avoided, its clinical significance for long-term OS is still under investigation. In light of this, a multidisciplinary approach and, in particular, radiologists' role is needed to assist the surgeon in the management of DLM, thanks to emerging technology and strategy. Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide an overview of the DLM phenomenon and current management.
