Hepatic inflow modulation with a portocaval shunt stabilizes hepatic hemodynamics and enhances liver regeneration after extended hepatectomy in a porcine model

Abstract Posthepatectomy liver failure due to small-for-size and flow (SFSF) syndrome is linked to high morbidity and mortality, with hepatic inflow modulation potentially promoting liver regeneration and mitigating SFSF-induced damage. This study evaluated the effect of hepatic...

Early versus late closure of protective ileostomy after rectal cancer surgery

Abstract Purpose The optimal timing of protective ileostomy closure after rectal cancer surgery remains uncertain. This systematic review and meta-analysis compares early (EC) versus late closure (LC) and evaluates the associated risks and benefits. Methods Medline, Web of Scienc...
