Preoperative FIB‐4 Index as a Potential Factor Associated With Severe Postoperative Complications and Endogenous Organ Failure After Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that a preoperative FIB‐4 index ≥ 5.0 independently predicts severe complications and endogenous organ failure (EOF) following hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma. By capturing structural liver fragility and systemic vulnerability, the FIB‐4 index enhances surgical risk stratification beyond traditional functional markers ...

AI‐Assisted Recognition of Actual Ureteral and Pancreatic Injuries in Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery: A Randomized Video Review Study

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
AI‐generated anatomical highlighting improved surgeons' recognition of actual ureteral injuries during laparoscopic colorectal surgery, including recognition within predefined injury time‐code windows. No significant overall improvement was observed for pancreatic injury, and incorrect adverse‐event judgments did not increase in no‐injury videos. These
