Validation of the IWATE criteria as a laparoscopic liver resection difficulty score in a single North American cohort
BackgroundLaparoscopic liver resection (LLR) involves a difficult learning curve, for which multiple difficulty scores have been proposed to assist...

IWATE criteria are associated with perioperative outcomes in robotic hepatectomy: a retrospective review of 225 resections
BackgroundRobotic hepatectomy (RH) is increasingly utilized for minor and major liver resections. The IWATE criteria were developed to classify...

Utility of the Iwate difficulty scoring system for laparoscopic right posterior sectionectomy: do surgical outcomes differ for tumors in segments VI and VII?
IntroductionThe Iwate Score (IS) have not been well-validated for specific procedures, especially for right posterior sectionectomy (RPS). In this...

Longitudinal changes in depressive symptoms associated with social isolation after the Great East Japan Earthquake in Iwate Prefecture: findings from the TMM CommCohort study
BackgroundWhether past disaster experiences affect the association between changes in social isolation and depressive symptoms is largely unknown....

Resection type is a predictor of postoperative complications in laparoscopic partial liver resection
BackgroundPartial laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is a procedure that can have varying levels of surgical difficulty depending on the tumor status...
-
Robotic versus laparoscopic liver resections: propensity-matched comparison of two-center experience
BackgroundThe advantages of the robotic approach in minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS) are still debated. This study compares the short-term...

Evaluation of the Iwate Model for Predicting the Difficulty of Laparoscopic Liver Resection: Does Tumor Size Matter?
BackgroundThis study aimed to externally validate the Iwate scoring model and its prognostic value for predicting the risks of intra- and...
-
Multiplanar CT reconstructions allow optimization of the laparoscopic surgical approach for liver lesions
PurposeResection of hepatic lesions can be difficult and requires careful analysis of pre-operative imaging. The aim of this study is to highlight...
-
The difficulty grade of laparoscopic hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma correlates with long-term outcomes
The tremendous development of laparoscopic hepatectomy helps to relieve the difficulties encountered during open hepatectomy. Therefore, a difficulty...

Comparison of clinical outcome between laparoscopic and open hepatectomy of high difficulty score for hepatocellular carcinoma: a propensity score analysis
BackgroundLaparoscopic liver resection (LLR) of high difficulty score is technically challenging. There is a lack of clinical evidence to support its...
-
A machine learning analysis of difficulty scoring systems for laparoscopic liver surgery
IntroductionIn the last decade, several difficulty scoring systems (DSS) have been proposed to predict technical difficulty in laparoscopic liver...
-
Impact of obstructive ventilatory impairment on intraoperative bleeding during laparoscopic hepatectomy
PurposeAn animal model of laparoscopic hepatectomy showed that bleeding from the hepatic vein is influenced by airway pressure. However, there are...
-
Robotic or laparoscopic repeat hepatectomy after open hepatectomy: a cohort study
BackgroundRepeat hepatectomies are technically complex procedures. The evidence of robotic or laparoscopic (= minimally invasive) repeat...
-
An international multicentre propensity score matched analysis comparing between robotic versus laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy
BackgroundLeft lateral sectionectomy (LLS) is one of the most commonly performed minimally invasive liver resections. While laparoscopic (L)-LLS is a...
-
The preoperative M2BPGi score predicts operative difficulty and the incidence of postoperative complications in laparoscopic liver resection
BackgroundLiver fibrosis or cirrhosis frequently makes parenchymal transection more difficult, but the difficulty score of laparoscopic liver...

Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Left and Extended Left Hepatectomy: An International Multicenter Study Propensity Score-Matched Analysis
BackgroundControversies exist among liver surgeons regarding clinical outcomes of the laparoscopic versus the robotic approach for major complex...
-
External validation of different difficulty scoring systems of laparoscopic liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma
BackgroundSeveral difficulty scoring systems (DSSs) have been proposed for evaluating difficulty of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) and no study...
