Prolonged Prophylactic Antibiotics Based on Preoperative Bile Culture Reduce Surgical Site Infections After Pancreaticoduodenectomy Following Preoperative Biliary Drainage: A Propensity‐Matched Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The optimum duration of prophylactic antibiotics after pancreaticoduodenectomy following preoperative biliary drainage to prevent surgical site infections remains controversial. We evaluate whether a prolonged course of prophylactic antibiotics reduces surgical site infection after pancreaticoduodenectomy following biliary drainage ...

Efficacy of Sequential Hepatic Vein Embolization Following Portal Vein Embolization in Promoting Regeneration of Liver Volume and Function Before Right‐Sided Major Hepatectomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Sequential hepatic vein embolization (HVE) following portal vein embolization (PVE) significantly improves both the volume and function of the future remnant liver (FRL) compared to PVE alone. In this study, the FRL regeneration rates for volume and function were markedly higher and faster in the PVE–HVE group, with no differences in surgical outcomes ...

Potential Survival Benefit of Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Stage IV Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: A Multicenter, Stage‐Stratified Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This multicenter study suggests that adjuvant chemotherapy may improve survival in stage IV intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma after resection, with S‐1 showing a potential survival advantage. ABSTRACT Background The survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains uncertain, particularly in advanced‐stage ...
