Background
Splanchnic vein thrombosis (SpVT) occurs in 17%–23 % of acute pancreatitis cases. Serious sequelae include hepatic and bowel ischaemia. However, management with therapeutic anticoagulation remains controversial due to potential bleeding risk. We aim to determine the level of consensus on prognosis, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of SpVT through a DELPHI process.
Methods
Using purposive, non-probability sampling and DELPHI methodology, 173 clinicians with experience of SpVT in acute pancreatitis were approached. From April 2022 to April 2023, a three-round DELPHI process was implemented to completion. A total of 88 statements were posed for ranking via a four-point Likert scale.
Results
The mean acute pancreatitis caseload per respondent per year was 68·0, 72·6 and 73·0 for DELPHI rounds 1,2 and 3 respectively. For SpVT anatomical location, there was strong consensus favouring anticoagulation for portal vein (89·1 %) and SMV thrombosis (90·9 %), and no consensus to treat splenic vein thrombosis (47·3 %). 74·1 % rejected radiological resolution as a definitive anticoagulation endpoint. Majority consensus favoured death, bleeding risk, bowel or liver ischaemia, hospital admission length and ITU admission as significant outcomes for experimental research design.
Conclusion
There was significant consensus for anticoagulation treatment of SpVT of the portal and superior mesenteric veins, especially with complete occlusion by thrombosis. Randomised controlled trials are required to grade management recommendations.

Background
We sought to define textbook outcome in liver surgery (TOLS) for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) by considering the implications of perioperative outcomes on overall survival (OS).
Methods
Using a multi-institutional database, TOLS for ICC was defined by employing novel machine learning (ML) models to identify perioperative factors most strongly predictive of OS ≥ 12 months. Subsequently, clinicopathologic factors associated with achieving TOLS were investigated.
Results
A total of 1556 patients with ICC were included. The ML classification models demonstrated that the absence of post-hepatectomy liver failure, intraoperative blood loss <750 mL, absence of major infectious complications, and R0 resection were the perioperative outcomes associated with prolonged OS, thereby defining TOLS for ICC. On multivariable analysis, older age, ASA class >2, lymph node metastasis, receipt of neoadjuvant therapy, advanced T status, poor histological grade and microvascular invasion were independently associated with lower odds of achieving TOLS (all p-values<0.05). Overall, 60.2 % (n = 936) of the patients achieved TOLS, demonstrating markedly improved OS and recurrence-free survival (RFS) than individuals who did not (both p < 0.05).
Conclusion
A standardized definition of TOLS for ICC was established that may be used to evaluate hospital performance at the patient level and help optimize surgical outcomes for patients with ICC.

Background
Subsequent lines of therapy for chemotherapy-resistant metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) have shown limited efficacy. Herein, we retrospectively investigated the efficacy and safety of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) using oxaliplatin plus 5-FU/FUDR in patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) who progressed following standard chemotherapy regimens.
Methods
From March 2017 to April 2023, CRC patients with unresectable CRLM who progressed following standard chemotherapy and subsequently received HAIC oxaliplatin plus 5-FU/FUDR were evaluated. Objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), median depth of tumor response (DpR), no evidence of disease (NED) rate, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety were assessed.
Results
A total of 21 patients who progressed after a median of two (range: 1–4) lines of standard systemic chemotherapy were included. The ORR and DCR were 28.6 % and 95.2 %, respectively, with six patients reaching partial response. Additionally, the median DpR was 10.6 %, and seven patients underwent successful conversion surgery. Stratification revealed significantly better PFS in patients with liver-limited metastases compared to those with concurrent hepatic and extrahepatic metastases (P = 0.0003).
Conclusion
HAIC oxaliplatin plus 5-FU/FUDR is a robust regimen for treatment-resistant CRC patients with unresectable CRLM, particularly those with liver-limited disease.

Background
Intrahepatic and perihepatic abscess (IPHA) is a severe yet understudied complication that can occur after hepatectomy. This multicenter study aimed to elucidate the clinical features, risk factors, and outcomes of IPHA after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to develop a novel prediction model for personalized risk assessment.
Methods
This was a multicenter cohort study of HCC patients who underwent curative-intent hepatectomy. IPHA was defined as an imaging-confirmed abscess located in the hepatic or perihepatic space within 30 days after surgery. A nomogram-based prediction model was developed using preoperative and intraoperative variables, and its performance was evaluated by the concordance index (C-index).
Results
Among the 4621 patients identified, 154 (3.3 %) developed IPHA. IPHA was associated with significantly prolonged hospital stays (median: 16 vs. 11 days, P < 0.001), increased 30-day readmission rates (33.0 % vs. 3.1 %, P < 0.001), and higher 90-day mortality (11.7 % vs. 2.8 %, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis identified obesity, diabetes mellitus, portal hypertension, major hepatectomy, open surgery, and intraoperative diaphragmatic incision as independent risk factors. The prediction model demonstrated robust discrimination (C-index: 0.747) and calibration.
Conclusions
IPHA significantly impacts postoperative outcomes following HCC resection. The novel prediction model aids in preoperative risk assessment to improve patient outcomes.

A histologically involved surgical margin (R1) is often observed after resection for cholangiocarcinoma. Compared with a negative margin (R0), R1 with invasive carcinoma (R1inv) markedly worsens survival, whereas the prognostic effect of R1 with carcinoma in situ (R1cis) remains controversial.
Methods
Patients who underwent resection for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma between 2002 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. According to the pathological assessment, the duct margin was classified as R0, R1cis, or R1inv; radial margin positivity was treated as R1inv. Recurrence and survival were compared.
Results
Among the 681 patients, 457 had R0, 69 had R1cis, and 155 had R1inv. The overall five-year recurrence rate was 82.8 % with R1inv, 67.8 % with R1cis, and 47.6 % with R0 (P < 0.001); the local recurrence rate also significantly differed among these groups (P < 0.001). The five-year survival rate was significantly worse with R1cis than with R0 (37.3 % vs. 56.7 %, P < 0.001) and better than that with R1inv (20.9 %, P = 0.007). Multivariate analysis revealed that R1cis was an independent predictor of survival (hazard ratio, 1.65; P < 0.001).
Conclusion
Compared with R0, R1cis significantly deteriorated overall survival in the whole resection subset of patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. However, the prognostic impact of R1cis was milder than that of R1inv.

Hepato-thoracic hydatid transit (HTT) is an evolutionary complication of hepatic cystic echinococcosis. This study aimed to report the available evidence regarding postoperative complications (POC) and hospital mortality (HM).
Methods
Systematic review. Studies related to HTT were included. Searches were performed in Trip Database, SciELO, BIREME-BVS, WoS, PubMed, EMBASE and SCOPUS. Primary outcomes: POC and HM. Secondary outcomes: publication date, origin and designs, number of patients, cyst type, hospital stance, treatments; and methodological quality (MQ) of studies applying MInCir-T and MInCir-Pr2 scales. Descriptive statistics, weighted means (WM) and their comparison using least squares logistic regression, and meta-analysis of prevalence of POC and HM were applied.
Results
604 studies were retrieved (101 met selection criteria, representing 1020 patients). WM age: 42.6 years, 58.3 % male. Reports are mainly from Spain (19.8 %) and Turkey (17.8 %). With a WM of 18.3 days of hospital stance, it was verified 28.9 % of POC, 12.6 % needed re-interventions, and 9.7 % died. MQ of studies: 9.1 ± 1.9 (MInCir-T) and 13.2 ± 2.9 (MInCir-Pr2). Comparing the behavior of variables in two periods (1983–2002 vs. 2003–2024), statistically significant differences were observed in POC, HM, and reinterventions.
Conclusion
HTT is associated with high POC, and significant HM, despite the passage of time.

Background
Frailty has been associated with increased mortality and complications among liver cancer patients. However, the frailty prevalence and outcomes in frail populations with primary liver cancer have not been systematically validated.
Methods
Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for eligible studies that explored the prevalence and impact of frailty in liver cancers from inception until October 26, 2023. The pooled prevalence, hazard ratio (HR), and odds ratio (OR) corresponding to 95 % confidence intervals (CI) in mortality and major complication estimates were conducted.
Results
A total of 18 studies containing 38,157 primary liver cancer patients were included. The prevalence of frailty in liver cancer was 35 % (95 % CI = 25–46; p = 0.000). Frailty was associated with an increased hazard ratio for 30-day mortality (HR = 7.03; 95 % CI = 0.71–69.45; p = 0.97) and 90-day mortality (HR = 4.59; 95 % CI = 1.76–11.95; p = 0.38). Furthermore, frailty was associated with an increased odds ratio for major complications in liver cancer patients (OR = 4.01; 95 % CI = 2.25–7.14; p = 0.49).
Conclusion
Frailty is frequent in liver cancer patients and may predict adverse outcomes in primary liver cancer patients with hepatectomy. Our findings highlight the importance of frailty assessment in this population.
背景:虚弱与肝癌患者死亡率和并发症的增加有关。然而,原发性肝癌虚弱人群的虚弱患病率和预后尚未得到系统验证。方法:检索Embase、PubMed、Scopus和Web of Science,从研究开始到2023年10月26日,这些研究探讨了虚弱在肝癌中的患病率和影响。在死亡率和主要并发症的估计中,汇总患病率、危险比(HR)和比值比(OR)对应95%置信区间(CI)。结果:共纳入18项研究,共38157例原发性肝癌患者。衰弱在肝癌中的患病率为35% (95% CI = 25-46;p = 0.000)。虚弱与30天死亡率的风险比增加相关(HR = 7.03;95% ci = 0.71-69.45;p = 0.97)和90天死亡率(HR = 4.59;95% ci = 1.76-11.95;p = 0.38)。此外,虚弱与肝癌患者主要并发症的优势比增加相关(OR = 4.01;95% ci = 2.25-7.14;p = 0.49)。结论:虚弱是肝癌患者的常见病,可能预示原发性肝癌肝切除术患者的不良预后。我们的研究结果强调了在这一人群中进行脆弱性评估的重要性。

Objective
To compare pylorus resecting pancreaticoduodenectomy (PRPD) with classical pancreaticoduodenectomy (classical PD) in terms of short term outcomes.
Background
There is some evidence that Pylorus resecting PD (PRPD) is associated with lesser incidence of DGE when compared to pylorus preserving PD (PPPD). However, no study has previously compared PRPD with classical PD.
Methods
Patients requiring PD were randomly assigned to either PRPD or classical PD after intraoperative assessment to rule out metastases and unresectable disease. Occurrence of DGE was the primary end point.
Results
A total of 154 patients (103 males; Mean age:53.3 ± 12.2 years) were included in the final analysis (PRPD = 78, classical PD = 76). PRPD group had significantly shorter operation [Mean difference: 41 min (95 % CI:18–65)]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of DGE [32 (41.0 %)vs37 (48.7 %); p = 0.339] and clinically significant DGE [22 (28.2 %)vs19 (25.0 %); p = 0.789] between PRPD and classical PD. There was also no difference in the rates of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula [20 (25.6 %)vs22 (28.9 %); p = 0.780], severe morbidity [21 (26.9 %)vs19 (25.0 %); p = 0.930], operative mortality [6 (7.7 %)vs2 (2.6 %); p = 0.157] and median postoperative stay [12 (5–47) days vs 12 (6–56) days; p = 0.861].
Conclusion
We found no significant difference in the early postoperative outcomes between PRPD and classical PD. PRPD was found to be significantly faster than the classical PD.

Background
Colorectal cancer most commonly metastasizes to the liver. While various treatment strategies have been developed, surgical management of these patients has vital implications on the prognosis and survival of this group of patients. There remains a need for a consensus guideline regarding the surgical evaluation and management of patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM).
Methods
This review article is a consensus guideline established by the members of the AHPBA Professional Standards Committee, as an amalgamation of existent literature and a guide to surgeons managing this complex disease.
Results
These guidelines reports the benefits and shortcomings of various diagnostic modalities including imaging and next-generation sequencing in the management of patients with CRLM. While surgery has established survival benefits in patients with resectable disease, this report notes the importance of treatment sequencing with non-surgical modalities as well as between colon and liver resection. Finally, the guidelines address the various treatment modalities for patients with unresectable disease, that may have significant impact on survival.
Conclusion
CRLM is a complex diagnosis which warrants multidisciplinary approach with early surgical involvement in both assessment and management of the disease, to optimize patient outcomes and survival.
