Initial experience of parenchyma-sparing liver resection with systematic selective hepatic vein reconstruction for colorectal metastases by Yevhenii Trehub, Åsmund Avdem Fretland, Artem Zelinskyi, Dzmitrii Kharkov, Oleksii Babashev, Dmytro Chieverdiuk, Artem Shchebetun, Kyrylo Khyzhniak, Maksym Pavlovskii, Andrii Strokan, Sergii Zemskov

“…Objectives This study aims to assess the feasibility and short-term and intermediate-term technical success rate of the concept of systematic selective hepatic vein (HV) reconstruction for parenchyma-sparing hepatectomies (PSHs) in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) in accordance with stage 2a of the IDEAL framework.Design The prospective case series of patients deemed eligible and operated on according to the concept.Setting All patients were treated by a single surgical team in three hospitals in Ukraine from June 2022 to November 2023.Participants The study included nine cases of resectable CRLM with at least one lesion located in the hepatocaval confluence with HV(s) invasion, for whom reconstruction of the HV(s) allowed for additional parenchyma preservation, being an alternative to major or extended hepatectomy.Interventions Liver resections with different types of HVs reconstruction (primary closure, patching, end-to-end anastomosis with or without grafting) were performed after a thorough evaluation of the future liver remnant volume, volume of potentially additionally preserved parenchyma and possibility of future repeat hepatectomies.Main outcome measures Postoperative morbidity, short-term and long-term patency of the reconstructed vessels, and the volume of additionally preserved parenchyma were the focus.Results Segmental resection was performed in four cases, two with graft interposition. …”

Generic health status improves after non-surgically and surgically treated hip abductor tendon pathology: a retrospective study of ninety-seven female patients by Nickan Zakikhany, Jeppe Lange, Bent Lund, Marie B. Bohn

“…Abstract Background Insertional hip abductor tendon pathology (tendinopathy or tears of gluteus medius and/or minimus tendons) are increasingly recognized as the main cause of lateral hip pain. This study aims to evaluate generic health status in patients with lateral hip pain due to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) verified hip abductor tendon pathology using the EQ-5D-5L and compare these findings with a matched national population norm. …”
