Immediate Reconstruction of Pancretaticogastrostomy Following Hepatopancreatoduodenectomy for Biliary Tact Cancer: A Single‐Center Review of 33 Consecutive Patients

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study showed that the pancreaticogastrostomy technique in HPD of biliary tract cancer reduced the incidence of pancreatic fistula from 45% to 12%. In‐hospital mortality was also reduced from 27% to 3%. ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Although hepatopancreaticoduodenectomy (HPD) is effective for margin‐negative curative resection of biliary tract ...

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 ...
