Laparoscopic Splenic Vessels and Spleen Preservation Distal Pancreatectomy Via Inferior-Posterior Splenic Vein Approach
Conclusions: In LsvspDP, the inferior-posterior splenic vein approach resulted in high splenic vessels and spleen preservation rate. Thirty-three patients were required to overcome the learning curve. Old age, tail location, and large tumor size were independent factors for the failure of splenic vessels preservation, whereas the cut-off value for tumor size was 5.4 cm to predict splenic vessels preservation.

Safety of Percutaneous Cholecystostomy Early Removal: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Introduction: There are no strong recommendations regarding the management of percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC). The aim of this study was to assess the safety of early PC removal in terms of complications and recurrent disease. Materials and Methods: Retrospective observational study of consecutive patients who underwent PC for acute cholecystitis from January 2012 to December 2017. We first evaluated PC-related complications and recurrent disease in patients whose drainage was removed as inpatients (IPR) or as outpatients (OPR). Patients were then divided into 2 groups according to the timing of PC removal: G1 with ...

Effectiveness of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Super-obese and Non–Super-obese Patients
Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in super-obese patients. The secondary aim was to identify patient characteristics associated with worse SG outcomes in this group. Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out of our electronic prospective bariatric surgery patient database, including all patients who underwent SG between January 2007 and January 2017. The sample was divided according to the initial body mass index (BMI) (> or (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Clinical Value of Serum LHPP-associated miR-765 in the Prognosis of Laparoscopic or Open Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Purpose: The current study aims to investigate the effect of tumor suppressor LHPP-associated microRNA (miR)-765 on the prognosis of laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) or open hepatectomy (OH) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Materials and Methods: A total of 160 patients with HCC were enrolled and randomly divided into the LH or OH group. According to the operation time, these patients were followed up for 12 months, and the number of deaths and the corresponding death time during the follow-up period were counted. Results: The authors found that the LHPP gene levels in HCC tissues were lower than that in adjacent n...
