Moreover, most of reported cases have been limited to the anterolateral segments (segments 2, 3, 4b, 5, 6). We evaluate the clinical and oncologic outcome after LLR for HCC including the lesions located in the posterosuperior segments (segments… Continue Reading »
Reasons and Outcomes of Surgical Revision of Gastrojejunal Anastomotic Complications in Patients After Laparoscopic Rygbp for Morbid Obesity.
