A non-invasive artificial intelligence model to predict the severity of intrapancreatic perineural invasion
Introduction: Intrapancreatic perineural invasion (IPNI) was a poor prognostic factor in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but few studies quantified the severity of IPNI. Additionally, there was an absence of non-invasive tool to...

Two-Stage Fixation in a Rat Model of the Induced Membrane: A Novel Surgical Technique
Introduction In the context of high-energy trauma or ballistic injury, wound healing is often compromised by underlying structural damage such as bone loss, infection, or instability. The induced membrane technique (IMT), a two-stage app...

Associated Radiofrequency Ablation and Portal Vein Ligation for Staged Hepatectomy Compared to Portal Vein Ligation Induces Prolonged and Enhanced Liver Regenerative Response
Introduction: Several techniques have been designed to increase the size of the future liver remnant (FLR) prior to liver resection. This experimental study in pigs builds on our previous rat study, in which we demonstrated that portal v...
