Introduction Laparoscopic liver resection is a challenging surgical procedure that may require prolonged operation time, particularly during the learning curve. Operation time significantly decreases with increasing experience; however, prolonged operation time may significantly increase the risk of postoperative complications.
Aim To assess whether prolonged operation time over the benchmark value influences short-term postoperative outcomes after laparoscopic liver resection.
Material and methods A retrospective cohort study based on data from the National Polish Registry of Minimally Invasive Liver Surgery was performed. A total of 197 cases consisting of left lateral sectionectomy (LLS), left hemihepatectomy (LH), and right hemihepatectomy (RH) with established benchmark values for operation time were included. Data about potential confounders for prolonged operation time and worse short-term outcomes were exported.
Results Most cases (129; 65.5%) were performed during the learning curve, while the largest rate was observed in LLS (57; 78.1%). Median operation time exceeded the benchmark value in LLS (Me = 210 min) and LH (Me = 350 min), while in RH the benchmark value was exceeded in 39 (44.3%) cases. Textbook outcomes were achieved in 138 (70.1%) cases. Univariate analysis (OR = 1.11; 95% CI: 0.61–2.06; p = 0.720) and multivariate analysis (OR = 1.16; 95% CI: 0.50–2.68; p = 0.734) did not reveal a significant impact of prolonged surgery on failing to achieve a textbook outcome.
Conclusions Prolonging the time of laparoscopic liver resection does not significantly impair postoperative results. There is no reason related to the patients’ safety to avoid prolonging the time of laparoscopic liver resection over the benchmark value.

Introduction The incidence of renal tumours is increasing annually, and imaging alone cannot meet the diagnostic needs.
Aim This single-centre study aimed to evaluate the predictors of diagnostic imaging-guided percutaneous renal mass biopsy (PRMB), its accuracy and safety, and subsequent changes to the treatment plan.
Material and methods We retrospectively collected the clinical data of patients who had undergone PRMB. The diagnosis rate, pathological data, and complications were analysed. Potential predictors of a diagnostic PRMB were evaluated using logistic regression analysis. Changes to the treatment plan due to PRMB results were also analysed.
Results A total of 158 patients were included in this study. The univariate analysis showed that higher tumour diameter (OR = 1.223, 95% CI: 1.018–1.468, p = 0.031) and number of biopsy cores ≥ 2 (OR = 6.125, 95% CI: 2.006–18.703, p = 0.001) were significantly associated with diagnostic biopsy, and multivariate analysis results showed that higher tumour diameter (OR = 1.215, 95% CI: 1.008–1.463, p = 0.041) was an independent predictor of diagnostic biopsy. A nomogram including tumour diameter and number of biopsy cores was constructed to predict diagnostic biopsy. Compared with postoperative pathology, the concordance between biopsy and postoperative pathology at identifying malignancies, histologic type, and histologic grade were 100% (47/47), 85.1% (40/47), and 54.1% (20/37), respectively. The treatment plans of 15 patients (9.5%) changed based on the PRMB results. Fourteen patients (8.9%) had minor complications (Clavien-Dindo classification < 2).
Conclusions Our results suggest that tumour diameter was an independent predictor of diagnostic biopsy. Furthermore, PRMB can be accurately and safely performed and may guide clinical decision-making for patients with renal tumours.

Introduction The dissection of the preperitoneal space is performed using a monopolar instrument to prevent bleeding in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP). It may also cause energy injuries and nerve damage.
Aim To assess the effectiveness and safety of dissection of the preperitoneal space without electrocoagulation (DPSWE) in TAPP throughout the process.
Material and methods A retrospective analysis of data of 134 patients was made. The electrocoagulation group (EG) relied on monopolar instruments. In the non-electrocoagulation group (NEG) mainly scissors were used without electrocoagulation. The patients were followed for up for 3 months. Intraoperative and postoperative conditions and other complications were observed.
Results The VAS scores in the NEG were lower than those in the EG (p < 0.05). The operation time in the NEG was shorter than that in the EG (p < 0.05). Hospitalization expenses, scrotal seroma formation, and rupture of hernia sac in the NEG were lower than those in the EG (p < 0.05). The intraoperative bleeding volume above 20 ml in the NEG was higher than that in the EG. There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative bleeding, vas deferens injury, intestinal injury, surgical site infection, length of hospital stay, urinary retention and hernia recurrence in the NEG and the EG (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of surgical site infections (SSIs) in the NEG and the EG.
Conclusions DPSWE is effective and safe. DPSWE may reduce postoperative pain and have no significant increase in postoperative bleeding.

Introduction While cryoablation (CA) and microwave ablation (MWA) have both been implemented as approaches to the treatment of adrenal metastasis (AM), the outcomes associated with these two therapeutic strategies remain unclear.
Aim To compare the safety and efficacy of CA and MWA as treatments for AM in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Material and methods Consecutive patients with AM secondary to NSCLC from January 2015 to December 2020 underwent CA or MWA. Treatment-related outcomes and complications were retrospectively compared between these groups.
Results In total, 68 NSCLC patients with isolated AM were enrolled in this study, of whom 35 and 33 underwent treatment with CA and MWA, respectively. Primary complete ablation rates in the CA and MWA groups were 91.4% (32/35) and 93.9% (31/33) respectively (p = 1.000), while a 100% secondary complete ablation rate was observed for both groups. Hypertensive crisis incidence affected 11.4% (4/35) and 9.1% (3/33) of patients in the CA and MWA groups (p = 1.000), respectively, while 8 (22.9%) and 8 (24.2%) patients in these corresponding groups experienced local progression after ablation that was detected during the follow-up period (p = 0.893). Patients in the CA and MWA groups exhibited a median progression-free survival of 18 and 22 months, respectively (p = 0.411), while the corresponding median overall survival of patients in these groups was 25 and 29 months (p = 0.786).
Conclusions CT-guided CA and MWA appear to exhibit similar safety and efficacy profiles when employed to treat isolated AM in NSCLC patients.

Introduction Surgery serves as a salvage procedure for non-curative resection of early-stage colorectal cancer under endoscopy. A standard method for performing additional surgery after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early colorectal cancer has yet to be established.
Aim To enhance the understanding of different surgical outcomes by discussing additional treatment strategies following non-complete curative endoscopic resection of early colorectal cancer.
Material and methods This retrospective study included 88 patients who were divided into three groups based on the surgical approach: conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS), single-incision plus one-port laparoscopic surgery (SILS+1), and three-port laparoscopic surgery combined with natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (three-port NOSES). The study aimed to compare the surgical outcomes, safety, and postoperative recovery among these groups.
Results The SILS+1 and three-port NOSES groups demonstrated comparable safety and efficacy to the CLS group in terms of blood loss, complications, number of lymph node dissections, and length of bowel resection. However, the SILS+1 and three-port NOSES groups had advantages in terms of incision length (7.11 ±0.38, 4.24 ±0.33, 3.16 ±0.22, p < 0.001), postoperative pain (4.000 [3.0,5.0], 3.500 [3.0,4.0], 3.000 [3.0,4.0]; p = 0.003), cosmetic result (4.000 [3.8,5.0], 7.000 [7.0,8.0], 7.000 [7.0,8.0]; p < 0.001), and hospital stay (8.000 [7.0,9.0], 7.000 [6.3,8.0.], 7.000 [6.3,8.0]; p = 0.035).
Conclusions Different strategies of reduced-port laparoscopic surgery have been demonstrated to be effective and safe in additional surgery after non-curative ESD. These techniques have shown reduced pain and increased satisfaction among patients. Reduced-port laparoscopic surgery is expected to become the preferred treatment option for these patients.

Introduction The relationship between different puncture points and perioperative complications and length of stay in hospital (LOS) in SCCAG patients has rarely been reported.
Aim To compare the curative effect and safety of the transradial artery approach and the transfemoral artery approach in combined heart-brain angiography.
Material and methods 120 patients who received combined cardio-cerebral angiography in our hospital were selected and divided into a transradial artery approach group (TRA) and a transfemoral artery approach group (TFA) according to a random number table. The postoperative efficacy and safety of the 2 groups were compared.
Results There was no statistically significant difference in puncture time and operation time between the 2 groups (p > 0.05). Postoperative bed rest time, hospitalization time, and X-ray exposure time in the TRA group were shorter than those in the TFA group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Before operation and 3 days after operation, there was no significant difference in left ventricle ejection fraction between the 2 groups (p > 0. 05). The overall incidence of complications in the TFA group was higher than that in the TRA group. The incidence between haematoma and pseudoaneurysm in the TFA group was higher, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05).
Conclusions For simultaneous heart-brain angiography, interventional therapy via radial artery and femoral artery has good curative effect and can improve cardiac function. However, interventional therapy through the radial artery can shorten the postoperative bed rest time and hospitalization time, and reduce the incidence of complications.

Introduction Both hook-wire (HW) and anchored needle (AN) techniques can be used for preoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided localization for pulmonary nodules (PNs). But the outcomes associated with these two materials remain unclear.
Aim To assess the relative safety and efficacy of preoperative CT-guided HW and AN localization for PNs.
Material and methods This was a retrospective analysis of data collected from two institutions. Consecutive patients with PNs between January 2020 and December 2021 who underwent preoperative CT-guided HW or AN localization followed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) procedures were included in these analyses, which compared the safety and clinical efficiency of these two localization strategies.
Results In total, 98 patients (105 PNs) and 93 patients (107 PNs) underwent CT-guided HW and AN localization procedures, respectively. The HW and AN groups exhibited similar rates of successful PN localization (95.2% vs. 99.1%, p = 0.117), but the dislodgement rate in the HW group was significantly higher than that for the AN group (4.8% vs. 0.0%, p = 0.029). The mean pain score of patients in the HW group was significantly higher than that for the AN group (p = 0.001). HW and AN localization strategies were associated with comparable pneumothorax (21.4% vs. 16.1%, p = 0.349) and pulmonary hemorrhage (29.6% vs. 23.7%, p = 0.354) rates. All patients other than 1 individual in the HW group successfully underwent VATS-guided limited resection.
Conclusions These data suggest that AN represents a safe, well-tolerated, feasible preoperative localization strategy for PNs that may offer value as a replacement for HW localization.
导言钩线(HW)和锚针(AN)技术均可用于术前计算机断层扫描(CT)引导下的肺结节(PNs)定位。材料和方法这是对两家机构收集的数据进行的回顾性分析。2020年1月至2021年12月期间,连续接受术前CT引导下HW或AN定位,然后进行视频辅助胸腔镜手术(VATS)的PNs患者被纳入这些分析中,这些分析比较了这两种定位策略的安全性和临床效率。HW组和AN组的PN定位成功率相似(95.2% vs. 99.1%,P = 0.117),但HW组的移位率明显高于AN组(4.8% vs. 0.0%,P = 0.029)。HW 组患者的平均疼痛评分明显高于 AN 组(p = 0.001)。HW和AN定位策略的气胸率(21.4% vs. 16.1%,p = 0.349)和肺出血率(29.6% vs. 23.7%,p = 0.354)相当。结论:这些数据表明,AN是一种安全、耐受性良好、可行的PN术前定位策略,可能具有替代HW定位的价值。

Introduction The Pfannenstiel incision is often used in gynecological Cesarean section; however, there is limited research on the use of the Pfannenstiel incision for specimen extraction in laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of colorectal cancer.
Aim To evaluate the safety of using the Pfannenstiel incision for specimen extraction in laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer patients.
Material and methods PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP and WanFangData were searched for studies published up to March 10, 2023; a random-effects model (RCT) and a fixed-effect model were used to evaluate the safety. Operative time, length of extraction skin incision, overall complications, superficial wound infection, organ/space surgical site infection and incisional hernia were evaluated.
Results A total of 5 studies were included in this research. There were no significant advantages in operation time, length of the incision, overall complications, superficial wound infection and organ/space surgical site in the Pfannenstiel group compared to the no Pfannenstiel group. However, the Pfannenstiel incision has a tendency to increase the length of the incision (SMD = 0.05; 95% CI = –0.22 to 0.33; p = 0.71) and the results of the remaining five (operative time,overall complications,incisional hernia, incisional infection and organ/space surgical site infection) are slightly skewed toward the Pfannenstiel incision. It is worth mentioning that incisional hernia (IH) may have an advantage in the Pfannenstiel group compared to the no Pfannenstiel group. Four studies were not at clear risk of bias and two studies were at risk of bias.
Conclusions Our study concludes that the Pfannenstiel incision has a good safety record and it is a good option for extracting specimens during laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer. The Pfannenstiel incision used for laparoscopic surgical specimen extraction has a significantly lower incidence of incisional hernia over no Pfannenstiel.

Introduction Obesity is a major public health problem and a well-known cause of multiple comorbidities. With the increasing application of minimally invasive surgery for benign and malignant liver lesions, the results of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) in obese patients are of great interest.
Aim To evaluate the short-term operative outcomes after LLR in obese patients and compare them to patients with normal weight and overweight.
Material and methods All 235 consecutive patients undergoing LLR from 2008 to 2023 were retrospectively analysed. Patients were categorized into 3 groups based on their body mass index (BMI): normal weight (18.5–24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25–29.9 kg/m2), and obese (≥ 30 kg/m2). The groups were then compared regarding preoperative data and intra- and postoperative outcomes.
Results Despite higher ASA score and associated comorbidities in the obese group, there were no significant differences in intraoperative complication (blood loss, damage to surrounding structures, conversion rate) between BMI groups (20.8% vs. 16.8% vs. 22.7%, p = 0.619). There were no significant differences in overall morbidity (34.7% vs. 27.7% vs. 29.5%, p = 0.582), as well as major morbidity (15.9% vs. 11.8% vs. 11.4%, p = 0.784) or mortality rates (1.4% vs. 1.7% vs. 0.0%, p = 1.000). Univariate logistic regression did not show BMI or obesity as a predictive variable for intraoperative complication.
Conclusions Obesity is not a significant, strong risk factor for worse short-term outcomes, and LLR may be considered also in patients with overweight and obesity.
导言肥胖是一个主要的公共健康问题,也是众所周知的多种并发症的诱因。目的 评估肥胖患者腹腔镜肝切除术后的短期手术效果,并与体重正常和超重患者进行比较。材料和方法 回顾性分析2008年至2023年期间接受腹腔镜肝切除术的235例连续患者。根据体重指数(BMI)将患者分为三组:正常体重(18.5-24.9 kg/m2)、超重(25-29.9 kg/m2)和肥胖(≥ 30 kg/m2)。结果尽管肥胖组的 ASA 评分和相关合并症较高,但 BMI 组之间在术中并发症(失血、周围结构损伤、转归率)方面没有显著差异(20.8% vs. 16.8% vs. 22.7%,P = 0.619)。总发病率(34.7% vs. 27.7% vs. 29.5%,P = 0.582)、主要发病率(15.9% vs. 11.8% vs. 11.4%,P = 0.784)和死亡率(1.4% vs. 1.7% vs. 0.0%,P = 1.000)均无明显差异。单变量逻辑回归并未显示 BMI 或肥胖是术中并发症的预测变量。

Introduction The increasing prevalence of obesity worldwide has raised concerns about its impact on surgical outcomes across various procedures. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), a common surgical intervention for benign gallbladder disease, is no exception. The relationship between obesity and LC outcomes remains complex and merits further investigation.
Aim This retrospective study aimed to assess the influence of obesity on the safety and surgical outcomes of LC.
Material and methods Patients were divided into 2 groups: those with obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m²) and non-obese controls (BMI < 30 kg/m²). Baseline characteristics, operative duration, hospitalization length, and post-operative complications, categorized by the Clavien-Dindo classification, were evaluated.
Results Among 116 patients with obesity and 176 non-obese controls, differences in age and gender were noted but were not clinically significant. Operative time was longer in the group with obesity. Hospitalization length and adverse event occurrence did not differ significantly. Importantly, post-operative complications showed no substantial differences between the groups, suggesting that obesity may not significantly increase the complication risk in this population.
Conclusions Obesity may not substantially elevate the risk of adverse events or severe complications following LC in this patient population. Careful patient selection, preoperative evaluation, and surgical technique remain crucial. Further research in larger, diverse populations is needed to validate these findings.
