Performance of major liver resection for gallbladder cancer—a western retrospective single center cohort study

Major liver resection alone for advanced gallbladder cancer does not improve overall survival but was rather associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Nevertheless, it may offer a chance for long-term survival in selected cases.

Anatomical study of the paracaval branch of the caudate lobe: implications of paracaval portion-preserving right hepatectomy for donors with marginal remnant liver volume

The paracaval branch is categorized into right, left, and bifurcation types based on origin. Paracaval portion-preserving donor right hepatectomy is feasible for left and bifurcation types, seen in over half of cases, and beneficial for large sizes reaching the liver surface.

Safety and learning curve of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy with limited robotic platform access: a propensity score-matched comparison with open surgery in a high-volume center

The present study demonstrates the safety of Robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) in the specific context of Limited Access to Robotic Platform (ARP). The CUSUM analysis shows that the learning curve was reached at the 40th procedure as well as with no limited ARP.

Impact of donor-recipient sex-matching patterns on liver transplantation outcomes: a cohort study based on United Network of Organ Sharing data

We have demonstrated that donor-recipient sex-matching patterns could impact the recipient survival based on the big database of UNOS. And our proposed grading system could be utilized to stratify female donor-male recipient sex group to guide clinical decision to amend allocation process and optimize organ utility.

Anatomical complexity of the right-lobe grafts: influence on the outcomes in living donor liver transplantation

Anatomical complexities in right-lobe grafts in LDLT do not affect five-year survival, despite of increased biliary complications. Interestingly, graft with multiple IHVs improved survival. Right lobe graft with anatomical complexity can be safely used in LDLT, with vigilant monitoring for biliary complications.

From NAFPD to MAFPD: a literature review of implications of a nomenclature change

Technical performance, surgical workload and patient outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic surgery for pediatric choledochal cyst: a multicenter retrospective cohort and propensity score-matched study

Compared with LS, RS could provide better surgical technical performance in minimally invasive CC surgery, reduce the surgical workload of surgeons, and provide more satisfactory postoperative outcomes, especially with fewer postoperative anastomotic strictures.

Optimization of ALPPS stage II timing with the APRI/ALBI score—an international, multicenter cohort study

Implementation of repeated APRI/ALBI score measurement leads to optimal timing of ALPPS stage II. Once the score normalized in the interstage phase and stage II was performed, only 3 % clinically relevant PHLF occurred.

Sarcopenia and gender disparities in liver transplant waiting lists: evaluating predictive scores and delisting risks

The study evaluates different prioritization scores for liver transplantation, identifying GEMA-Na as the most accurate predictor for delisting. However, it overlooks the impact of sarcopenia, disproportionately affecting men. Incorporating sarcopenia into the scoring system is essential to prevent exacerbating gender disparities.

Development of scoring models to predict early pancreatic cancer risk in new-onset diabetes mellitus patients

New risk models to predict one- and three-year pancreatic risk among patients with new-onset diabetes mellitus among Asian populations have been developed. The high accuracy of the models allow potential clinical application for early detection of pancreatic cancer to improve prognosis.

Neoadjuvant systemic therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma: challenges and opportunities—a narrative review

Preoperative neoadjuvant therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma, comprising chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and combined therapy, can delay postoperative relapse and improve overall survival after liver resection or liver transplantation. Further research is needed to identify suitable candidates, predictive biomarkers, optimal regimens, and ideal timing for surgery.

The risk of hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after liver transplantation increases with locoregional therapies in patients initially within Milan criteria

The novel study design by including only initially within Milan hepatocellular carcinoma patients enabled clearer view of increasing risk of recurrence with the increasing number of locoregional therapies.

Hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion does not increase the risk of infection after liver transplantation: a retrospective cohort study

This study demonstrates that hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion in liver transplantation does not increase the risk of infection within 10 days post-transplantation, yielding similar patient and graft outcomes compared to static cold storage and supporting the efficacy of HOPE in expanding the donor pool.

Evaluation of outcomes of robotic liver surgery using the IWATE criteria

This article emphasizes that the IWATE criteria correlate well with surgical outcomes, and by removing the learning curve, perioperative results can accurately reflect procedural complexity rather than surgeon skills. Implementing this classification system could facilitate a stepwise approach to robotic liver surgery, addressing adoption barriers.

Efficacy of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: survival outcomes and prognostic factors from a systematic review and meta-analysis

Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) may offer improved overall and progression-free survival compared to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Evidence suggests HAIC may be particularly beneficial in patients with adverse prognostic factors, while maintaining a more favorable safety profile in selected populations.

From critical care to organ preservation: the potential role of hemadsorption in transplantation—a narrative review

Hemadsorption devices, widely studied in sepsis and other conditions with cytokine storm, show promise for organ transplantation, particularly in liver disease. Ex-situ machine perfusion systems provide a valuable platform to investigate its effects on immune response and cellular metabolism, which remain incompletely understood.

Intention-to-treat approach for survival benefit of ABO-incompatible living-donor liver transplantation in patients with high Model for End-stage Liver Disease scores

Our intention-to-treat analysis revealed that ABOi-LDLT improved survival for MELD ≥30 patients, over awaiting DDLT in the severe organ shortage regions. ABOi-LDLT demonstrated comparable posttransplant outcomes to ABOc-LDLT and DDLT with acceptable donor complications. ABOi-LDLT is a feasible treatment option in high MELD patients.

Prognostic factors in gallbladder cancer: a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis

The objective of this study is to identify prognostic factors for GBC post-surgery. Our analysis reveals that factors such as LMR, CA 19-9 level, lymph node status, tumor location, etc., are associated with prognosis, providing valuable insights for clinicians and patients, particularly those facing prognostic challenges.

Evaluating liver resection outcomes post Y90 TARE with personalized dosimetry in intermediate or advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: a focus on surgical and biliary complications

Preliminary reports on liver resection following transarterial radioembolization (TARE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) show promising oncological outcomes. Nonetheless, postoperative biliary complications are underreported. Our retrospective study reveals a 20% bile leak rate, with intervals shorter than 6 months between TARE and surgery posing higher risks.

Enhanced recovery after liver transplantation—a prospective analysis focusing on quality assessment

The proposed ERAS protocol for LTx in this study can provide a safe management tool to monitor the patient and provide quality service with low morbidities and mortality throughout the observation period.

Surgery-related factors for pancreatic fistula after pancreatectomy: an umbrella review

This study is the first to conduct an umbrella review that investigated the effect of surgical-related factors on POPF. A citation matrix was combined with AMSTAR2 to identify and select overlapping Mata-Analyses. The GRADE was used to quantify the strength of the evidence.

Post-chemotherapy liver atrophy does not impact the outcome after hepatectomy performed under a parenchymal-sparing approach

Preoperative chemotherapy for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM) could induce hepatic atrophy. A higher degree of atrophy does not impact on postoperative morbidity, hepatic insufficiency and death in patients with CLM when undergoing post-chemotherapy resection with a parenchymal sparing procedure.
