Long‐Term Nutritional Benefits of Laparoscopic Pancreatoduodenectomy Over Open Surgery

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Minimally invasive laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) significantly improves long‐term nutritional outcomes compared to open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD). LPD patients demonstrated better preservation of muscle mass index (PMI) and a lower incidence of postoperative fatty liver.

Significance of Intraoperative Lavage Cytology in Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC) has a poor prognosis, with frequent early metastatic recurrence after curative resection. Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is particularly difficult to diagnose and predict. While intraoperative lavage cytology (CY) is a standard method to detect PM, its utility remains unclear in PHC.

Blood Transfusion Therapy

Medical Clinics of North America, 2017
Transfusion of red blood cells (RBCs) is a balance between providing benefit for patients while avoiding risks of transfusion. Randomized, controlled trials of restrictive RBC transfusion practices have shown equivalent patient outcomes compared with liberal transfusion practices, and meta-analyses have shown improved in-hospital mortality, reduced ...

Risk Evaluation of the NCD Risk Calculator for Open Pancreaticoduodenectomy in Elderly Patients: A Validation Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigated the utility of the Japanese NCD risk calculator for preoperative assessment in elderly patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), using a validation study design. In the training cohort, two preoperative factors—the predicted incidence of postoperative ADL decline ≥ 44.8% and Clavien–Dindo grade IV or higher complications

Association Between Distance to the Transplant Center and Survival Following Living Donor Liver Transplantation

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigated the impacts of distance to transplant center on posttransplant survival following LDLT. Patients living further away from the transplant center had worse graft and patient survival rates than those of patients living closer, probably due to less frequency of follow‐up visits, and living > 40 miles from our treatment center was ...

Association Between the Degree of Arterial Contact Angle and Survival in Patients With Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the prognostic impact of arterial contact angle in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer undergoing neoadjuvant therapy and surgery. An arterial contact angle of ≥ 90° was associated with higher R1 resection rates and worse survival outcomes.
