Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Laparoscopic versus open resection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: nationwide analysis.
The relevance of laparoscopic resection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains debated. The aim of this study was to compare laparoscopic (LLR) and open (OLR) liver resection for ICC, with specific focus on textbook outcome and lymph node dissection (LND). ⋯ The laparoscopic approach did not substantially improve quality of care of patients with resectable ICC.

Multicenter Study
Prognostic grade for resecting hepatocellular carcinoma: multicentre retrospective study.
Surgical treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is advancing, but a robust prediction model for survival after resection is not available. The aim of this study was to propose a prognostic grading system for resection of HCC. ⋯ This grade is used to predict prognosis of patients undergoing resection of HCC.

Lobectomy is not advocated for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with high-risk features, although there is no high-level evidence showing that this is an inferior strategy. This study aimed to examine the association between the extent of surgery and survival of patients with PTC and high-risk features. ⋯ Lobectomy was not associated with significantly worse outcomes for patients with PTC and high-risk features.
