Comparative Study
Laparoscopic liver resection versus open liver resection for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: 3-year outcomes of a cohort study with propensity score matching.
Laparoscopic liver resection(LLR) for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is debatable due to technical challenges associated with major hepatectomy and lymph node dissection. This study aims to analyze the long-term outcomes with propensity score matching. ⋯ Laparoscopic liver resection for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is technically feasible and safe, providing short-term benefits without increasing complications or affecting long-term survival.

Accurate and fast localization of small pulmonary nodules is required for local pulmonary resection. In this study, we introduced and assessed a novel technique for the preoperative localization of small pulmonary nodules by using ZT medical glue (2-octyl cyanoacrylate). ⋯ The use of ZT glue is a safe and effective method for the localization of small pulmonary nodules.
