Pedicled ligament flaps during pancreatoduodenectomy are associated with reduced hemorrhage from hepatic artery and gastroduodenal artery stump during pancreatoduodenectomy: a systematic review, meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis HPB (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-12-21 Kuan Hang, Lijuan Wei, Mingchao Yi, Haoheng Liu, Yang Huang, Hao Zhang, Chunlu Tan, Kezhou Li, Junjie Xiong
The aim of this study was to investigate whether pedicled ligament flaps (PLF) covering around the hepatic and gastroduodenal artery stump can provide better clinical outcomes in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). We conducted a comprehensive search of databases (inception to January 2023) to identify studies comparing PD with or without PLF covering the skeletonized arteries. The perioperative and postoperative

Assessment of liver function by gadoxetic acid avidity in MRI in a model of rapid liver regeneration in rats HPB (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-12-21 Jan Heil, Mark Augath, Vartan Kurtcuoglu, Joachim Hohmann, Wolf O. Bechstein, Pim Olthof, Andreas A. Schnitzbauer, Petra Seebeck, Marc Schiesser, Martin Schläpfer, Beatrice Beck-Schimmer, Erik Schadde
This animal study investigates the hypothesis of an immature liver growth following ALPPS (associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy) by measuring liver volume and function using gadoxetic acid avidity in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in models of ALPPS, major liver resection (LR) and portal vein ligation (PVL). Wistar rats were randomly allocated to ALPPS, LR or

Utility of modified pancreaticoduodenectomy (Hi-cut PD) for middle-third cholangiocarcinoma: an alternative to hepatopancreaticoduodenectomy HPB (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-12-20 Shunsuke Onoe, Takashi Mizuno, Nobuyuki Watanabe, Yukihiro Yokoyama, Tsuyoshi Igami, Junpei Yamaguchi, Masaki Sunagawa, Shoji Kawakatsu, Yoshie Shimoyama, Tomoki Ebata
The standard procedure for middle-third cholangiocarcinoma (MCC) is pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD); hepatopancreaticoduodenectomy (HPD) is often performed despite its high risk. There is no clear selection guidance for these procedures. Patients with MCC who underwent HPD or PD were retrospectively evaluated. The conventional PD was modified (mPD) to transect the bile duct beyond or close to the cranial

What would you do? A Survey of HPB Surgeons Practice Patterns HPB (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-12-13 Ahmer Irfan, Wendy Feng, Katherine McElroy, Vikas Dudeja, Sushanth Reddy, J. Bart Rose
Introduction The surgical decision making for pancreatic adenocarcinoma is complex. Although practice guidelines exist for many scenarios, these do not cover many common eventualities that may be encountered during these cases. We sought to identify the practice pattern variations amongst pancreatic surgeons in response to commonly experienced clinical scenarios. Methods A multiple-choice questionnaire
