Outcomes for high‐risk hepatoblastoma in a resource‐challenged setting

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 630-636, August 2020., 2020
The outcomes of children with high‐risk hepatoblastoma were assessed in the setting of a resource‐challenged nation, where access to organized chemotherapy and liver transplantation remains limited for the underprivileged. Excellent results were demonstrated.

Volume–outcome relationship of liver surgery: a nationwide analysis

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 7, Page 917-926, June 2020., 2020
This study analysed the association between hospital volume and postoperative outcomes in the nationwide Dutch Hepato Biliary Audit. A total of 5590 resections was performed across 34 centres with a median annual centre volume of 35 (i.q.r. 20–69) procedures. No association was found between hospital and postoperative outcomes.

Effect of structured use of preoperative portal vein embolization on outcomes after liver resection of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 449-455, June 2020., 2020
The use of portal vein embolization (PVE) in patients undergoing major liver resection for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma at the authors' centre increased from 6·4 per cent in 2000–2015 to 32 per cent in 2016–2019. This increased use of PVE coincided with a major decrease in the postoperative liver failure rate, from 19·9 to 4 per cent, and a decrease in

Liver transplantation for unresectable colorectal liver metastases in patients and donors with extended criteria (SECA‐II arm D study)

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 467-477, June 2020., 2020
Patients with extensive liver tumour load and a mainly poorly differentiated N2 primary tumour have short overall survival from the time of liver transplantation. Relapses were mostly unresectable and the patients had short survival from the time of relapse. These patients should not be offered liver transplantation.

Total tumour volume as a prognostic factor in patients with resectable colorectal cancer liver metastases

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 456-466, June 2020., 2020
This study investigated whether the total tumour volume (TTV) of colorectal liver metastases could predict patient survival after hepatic resection. Associations were identified between TTV and recurrence‐free survival, overall survival and unresectable recurrence after primary hepatic resection.

Endothelium capture‐based liver segment imaging using vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 in preclinical ex vivo models

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 332-341, April 2020., 2020
Imaging of liver segments provides substantial information for surgeons when performing liver resection. The anti‐vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) 2 antibody ramucirumab conjugated with near‐infrared dye could visualize selected liver segments using an endothelial capture‐based approach in an isolated perfusion liver model.

Liver resection with thrombectomy for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and tumour thrombus in the inferior vena cava or right atrium

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 241-251, April 2020., 2020
Hepatocellular carcinoma with tumour thrombus in the inferior vena cava or right atrium is an advanced disease state with a poor prognosis. This retrospective study examined the survival benefits of surgical resection for patients with this rare condition.

Influence of socioeconomic status on immediate breast reconstruction rate, patient information and involvement in surgical decision‐making

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 232-240, April 2020., 2020
Socioeconomic factors independently influence immediate breast reconstruction rates in Sweden. Patient‐reported information and involvement in the surgical decision‐making process remain independent predictors of the likelihood of undergoing immediate breast reconstruction.

Percutaneous radiofrequency‐assisted liver partition versus portal vein embolization before hepatectomy for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 101-108, February 2020., 2020
Percutaneous radiofrequency‐assisted liver partition with portal vein embolization in staged liver resection (PRALPPS), modIfied ALPPS with reduced surgical trauma on the first stage, was used in 11 patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. PRALPPS did not differ from portal vein embolization (PVE) in terms of morbidity or mortality.
