Precise classification of the hepatic artery is helpful for preoperative surgical planning in hepatobiliary-pancreatic surgery. However, the anatomy of hepatic arteries is variable. This study investigated anatomical variation using three-dimensional visualization and evaluation (3DVE) to develop a nomenclature system. ⋯ The CRL classification covers hepatic artery variants and may be used for planning liver surgery.

The incidence of lymphatic complications after kidney transplantation varies considerably in the literature. This is partly because a universally accepted definition has not been established. This study aimed to propose an acceptable definition and severity grading system for lymphatic complications based on their management strategy. ⋯ A clear definition and severity grading for lymphatic complications after kidney transplantation was agreed. The proposed definitions should allow better comparisons between studies.

Laparoscopic repeat liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma: a multicentre propensity score-based study.
In the absence of randomized controlled data and even propensity-matched data, indications for, and outcomes of, laparoscopic repeat liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain uncertain. This study aimed to clarify the current indications for laparoscopic repeat liver resection for HCC, and to evaluate outcomes. ⋯ Laparoscopic repeat liver resection is feasible in selected patients with recurrent HCC.
