    Abstract Background: The superiority of anatomical resection (AR) vs. non-anatomical resection (NAR) in the surgical management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is debated. ARs are well-defined procedures, whereas the lack of NAR standardization results in heterogeneous outcomes. This study aimed to introduce the SegSubTe classification for NAR detailing the appropriateness of the level of surgical section of the Glissonean pedicles feeding the tumor.
    Methods: A single-center retrospective analysis of pre- and postoperative imaging of consecutive patients treated with NAR for single HCC between 2012 and 2020 was conducted. The quality of surgery was assessed classifying the type of vascular supply and the level of surgical section (segmental, subsegmental or terminal next to the tumor) of vascular pedicles feeding the HCCs; then, the population was divided in "SegSubTe-IN" or "SegSubTe-OUT" groups, and the tumor recurrence and survival were analyzed.
    Results: Ninety-seven patients who underwent NAR were included; 76% were SegSubTe-IN and 24% were SegSubTe-OUT. Total disease recurrence, local recurrence and cut-edge recurrence in the SegSubTe-IN vs. SegSubTe-OUT groups were 50% vs. 83% (P = 0.006), 20% vs. 52% (P = 0.003) and 16% vs. 39% (P = 0.020), respectively. SegSubTe-OUT odds ratio for local recurrence was 4.1 at univariate regression analysis. One-, three-, and five-year disease-free survival rates in the SegSubTe-IN vs. SegSubTe-OUT groups were 81%, 58% and 35% vs. 46%, 21% and 11%, respectively (P < 0.001).
    Conclusions: The SegSubTe classification is a useful tool to stratify and standardize NAR for HCC, aiming at improving long-term oncological outcomes and reducing the heterogeneity of quality of NAR for HCC.

    Abstract Introduction: While the COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing, it is even more evident that victims of the pandemic are not only those who contract the virus, but also the countless patients suffering from other serious diseases (i.e., tumor) who have undergone delayed potentially life-saving surgery due to a lack of beds. Like many hospitals, ours also initially blocked all elective oncologic surgery, but these operations were "recovered" and reintegrated in a relatively short time, thanks to the establishment of COVID-free wards and operating rooms with staff dedicated to oncological surgery. In tis context, our aim is to assess whether and how the severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has impacted our hepatobiliary surgery unit.
    Methods: From our prospective database, we retrospectively took data from patients undergoing liver surgery in 2018-2019 (pre-COVID) and 2020-2021 (COVID period). Patients admitted to COVID-free wards must necessarily have a negative nasal swab from the previous 24 h.
    Results: Between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2019 (Group 1), 101 patients were treated; during the pandemic [January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021 (Group 2)], 126 patients were treated. There was no statistical difference between the groups. The median postoperative hospital stay was 7 days for both groups; 7 patients had major complications (Clavien-Dindo > 3) in Group 1 and 11 in Group 2 (
    Conclusion: During the COVID pandemic, our HPB unit managed to offer a volume of tertiary-center hepatobiliary surgery without a significant impact in terms of length of stay, morbidity, or mortality despite the increase in tumor burden during the pandemic years.

    Abstract Background: Liver tumors invading the distal part of the umbilical portion of the left portal vein usually require left hepatectomy. The recent introduction of the concept of left anterior sector, an independent anatomo-functional unit including the anterior portion of the left liver and supplied by the distal part of the umbilical portion of the left portal vein, could represent the rational for an alternative surgical approach. The aim of this study was to introduce the novel surgical procedure of ultrasound-guided left anterior sectorectomy.
    Methods: Among 92 consecutive patients who underwent hepatectomy, 3 patients with tumor invading the distal part of the umbilical portion of the left portal (two with colorectal liver metastases and one with neuroendocrine tumor liver metastases) underwent left anterior sectorectomy alone or in association with liver multiple metastasectomies.
    Results: Mean operation time was 393 min; post-operative morbidity and mortality were not observed. After a mean FU of 23 months (range 19-28), no local recurrence occurred.
    Conclusions: In presence of tumors invading the distal part of the umbilical portion of the left portal, left anterior sectorectomy could be considered as an anatomic radical surgical option that is safe but more conservative than a left hepatectomy.

    Abstract Background: Distant metastases are found in approximately 35% of patients with gastric cancer at their first clinical observation, and of these, 4%-14% involves the liver. Unfortunately, only 0.4%-2.3% of patients with metastatic gastric cancer are eligible for radical surgery. Although surgical resection for gastric cancer metastases is still debated, there have been changes in recent years, although several clinical issues remain to be defined and that must be taken into account before surgery is proposed.
    Aim: To analyze the clinicopathological factors related to primary gastric tumor and metastases that impact the survival of patients with liver metastatic gastric cancer.
    Methods: We performed a systematic review of the literature from 2000 to 2018 according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. The study protocol was based on identifying studies with clearly defined purpose, eligibility criteria, methodological analysis, and patient outcome.
    Results: We selected 47 studies pertaining to the purpose of the review, which involved a total of 2304 patients. Median survival was 7-52.3 mo, median disease-free survival was 4.7-18 mo. The 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS) was 33%-90.1%, 10%-60%, 6%-70.4%, and 0%-40.1%, respectively. Only five papers reported the 10-year OS, which was 5.5%-31.5%. The general recurrence rate was between 55.5% and 96%, and that for hepatic recurrence was between 15% and 94%.
    Conclusion: Serous infiltration and lymph node involvement of the primary cancer indicate an unfavorable prognosis, while the presence of single metastasis or ≤ 3 metastases associated with a size of < 5 cm may be considered data that do not contraindicate liver resection.

    Abstract Introduction: Three-dimensional liver modeling can lead to substantial changes in choosing the type and extension of liver resection. This study aimed to explore whether 3D reconstruction helps to better understand the relationship between liver tumors and neighboring vascular structures compared to standard 2D CT scan images.
    Methods: Contrast-enhanced CT scan images of 11 patients suffering from primary and secondary hepatic tumors were selected. Twenty-three experienced HBP surgeons participated to the survey. A standardized questionnaire outlining 16 different vascular structures (items) having a potential relationship with the tumor was provided. Intraoperative and histopathological findings were used as the reference standard. The proper hypothesis was that 3D accuracy is greater than 2D. As a secondary endpoint, inter-raters' agreement was explored.
    Results: The mean difference between 3D and 2D, was 2.6 points (SE: 0.40; 95 % CI: 1.7-3.5; p < 0.0001). After sensitivity analysis, the results favored 3D visualization as well (mean difference 1.7 points; SE: 0.32; 95 % CI: 1.0-2.5; p = 0.0004). The inter-raters' agreement was moderate for both methods (2D: W = 0.45; 3D: W = 0.44).
    Conclusion: 3D reconstruction may give a significant contribution to better understanding liver vascular anatomy and the precise relationship between the tumor and the neighboring structures.

    Abstract We report a case of a patient observed in emergency condition for recurrent episodes of massive obscure gastrointestinal bleeding that required surgical control. At laparotomy we found an ileal mass with the characteristics of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) at histopathological analysis. GISTs should always be considered as a possible cause of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, although they are often difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Laparotomy is sometimes the only way to obtain a diagnosis. Starting from this case, we reviewed the literature about GISTs, focusing our attention on their diagnosis and the possible surgical and nonsurgical therapies.

    Abstract Purpose: In literature, few papers compare different hemostatic devices in laparoscopic adrenalectomy. This sequential cohort study analyzes the outcomes of laparoscopic adrenalectomy performed by different hemostatic instruments, to evaluate if any of them has any advantage over the other and as secondary endpoints, the impact of body mass index (BMI) and tumor size on the indication, and the outcome of laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
    Methods: Forty-six patients, aged 54.6 +/- 46 years, underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy over 5 years. Mean BMI was 27 +/- 4.8 kg/m(2). Twenty-four patients had a left tumor, and 22 had a right one. Patients were divided into two groups according to the hemostatic device: Ultracision was used in 26 patients, and Ligasure was used in 20. Groups were well matched for histology, tumor size and site, BMI, gender, and age.
    Results: Mean operating time was 126.5 +/- 52 min, blood losses were 101 +/- 169 mm, conversion rate was 6.5%, morbidity was 26%, and hospitalization was 5.3 +/- 2.5 days. Groups did not differ for surgical time, blood losses, complications, and conversion rate; BMI and length of surgery were not related. Tumor side and size did not affect surgical time, regardless of the hemostatic tool. Patients submitted to left adrenalectomy bled more (p = 0.007) and had more complications (p = 0.016) than those undergone operation on the right side.
    Conclusions: Obesity (BMI > 30) and large masses do not contraindicate laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Left adrenalectomies bleed more and have a higher morbidity. Hemostatic device choice is up to surgeon's preference.
