The impact of lymphangiograpy on chyle leakage treatment duration after pancreatic surgery
ConclusionLymphangiography is a feasible and safe treatment option for CL. The CL treatment period after pancreatic surgery was significantly shorter in patients who underwent lymphangiography than in those who did not. Our results suggest that lymphangiography may contribute to early improvement of persistent CL. (Source: Surgery Today)

Thoracoscopic precision excision technique for small lung lesions using radiofrequency identification marking
AbstractWith the introduction of multi-detector computed tomography (CT), the number of incidentally detected small lung nodules has dramatically increased. Determination of lung nodule malignancy is crucial, and an early diagnosis of these indeterminate lesions can lead to subsequent potentially curative treatment. However, there are some limitations to excising these nodules with sublobar resection in a minimally invasive thoracoscopic setting. Under thoracoscopy, although stapler-based wedge resection seems to be the preferred technique, particularly in patients whose lesions are located far from the edge of the lobe, t...

Hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy and gastropancreatic fold division: a less-invasive simplified technique of Hassab ’s procedure for refractory esophagogastric varices
AbstractSome patients with refractory esophagogastric varices require surgery, such as gastric devascularization and splenectomy (Hassab ’s procedure). However, these patients are at risk of perioperative morbidities when undergoing devascularization to develop collateral vessels. We performed a more simplified procedure, splenectomy, and en bloc gastropancreatic fold division (GPFD) with hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery. Four pa tients with refractory esophagogastric varices and portal hypertension underwent splenectomy and GPFD. We reviewed patients’ perioperative laboratory and morphological data, operative variab...

Usefulness of preoperative ice cream consumption and novel postoperative drainage management in patients undergoing left-sided neck dissection for thyroid cancer: a nonrandomized prospective study
ConclusionsIn left lateral neck dissection for thyroid cancer, performing surgery following ice cream consumption does not completely prevent chyle leakage; however, early drain removal is possible because there is only mild leakage. (Source: Surgery Today)
