Different Meaning or Not

Hello Rabbi, I studied a certain passage in the Gemara and learned it from two different elucidated Gemaras. They explained almost the same thing, but one of them started the question with "if so," etc., and the other started the question with "according to this," etc. Do "if so" and "according to this" have the same meaning?

Hello, Rabbi. 

I can't really understand the topic based on a partial quote.

However, from what you have brought, it seems that there is no real change between the commentaries, but the second commentator is also trying to connect the discussed passage to the previous one.
