Pancreatic fistulae after pancreatic resections for neuroendocrine tumours compared with resections for other lesions
ConclusionsHigh rates of POPF were found in patients operated for PNET. However, this was mainly owing to the fact that atypical resections, known to be associated with a higher fistula rate, were performed more frequently in these patients.

Ratio of hepatic arterial flow to recipient body weight predicts biliary complications after deceased donor liver transplantation
ConclusionsA ratio of HA flow to weight of < 5 ml/min/kg is associated with higher rates of biliary complications. This ratio may be a useful parameter for application in the prevention and early detection of biliary complications.

Predicting recurrence patterns after resection of hepatocellular cancer
ConclusionsRegardless of initial MC status, at 5 years the majority of patients remained disease‐free or experienced recurrence within the MC after LR, and thus were potentially eligible for salvage transplantation (ST). Incorporating clinicopathological parameters into the MC allows for better risk stratification, which improves the selection of patients for ST and identifies patients in need of closer surveillance.

Cost effectiveness after a pancreaticoduodenectomy: bolstering the volume argument
ConclusionsFor PD, low volume centres have higher peri‐operative mortality rates and 10.9% higher cost per patient. Performance of PD at higher volume centres can lead to both better outcomes and substantial cost savings. (Source: HPB: official journal of the International Hepato Pancreat Biliary Association)

The role of peri‐hepatic drain placement in liver surgery: a prospective analysis
DiscussionIn spite of preferential IPD use in patients with more complex tumours/resections, IPD did not decrease the rate of PC, collections and the need for a percutaneous post‐operative drain. IPD should be reserved for exceptional circumstances in liver surgery. (Source: HPB: official journal of the International Hepato Pancreat Biliary Association)

Tumour biology of colorectal liver metastasis is a more important factor in survival than surgical margin clearance in the era of modern chemotherapy regimens
ConclusionA R1 resection had no prognostic value per se but reflected a more severe disease. The recent change in the prognostic value of a R1 resection may be linked to the beneficial effect of chemotherapy. (Source: HPB: official journal of the International Hepato Pancreat Biliary Association)

Socioeconomic status influences the likelihood but not the outcome of liver resection for colorectal liver metastasis
ConclusionsLiver resection for CLM is performed more commonly among the least socioeconomically deprived population than among the most deprived. However, degree of deprivation was not associated with tumour recurrence after resection. (Source: HPB: official journal of the International Hepato Pancreat Biliary Association)

Tumour size over 3 cm predicts poor short‐term outcomes after major liver resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma. By the HC‐AFC‐2009 group
ConclusionThe present analysis of a series of 331 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma showed that tumour size >30 mm was independently associated with death <12 months. (Source: HPB: official journal of the International Hepato Pancreat Biliary Association)

Prophylactic octreotide for pancreatoduodenectomy: more harm than good?
ConclusionThis multi‐institutional study, using ISGPF criteria, evaluates POPF development across the entire risk spectrum. Octreotide appears to confer no benefit in preventing a CR‐POPF, and may even potentiate CR‐POPF development in the presence of risk factors. This analysis suggests octreotide should not be utilized as a POPF mitigation strategy. (Source: HPB: official journal of the International Hepato Pancreat Biliary Association)

Post‐hepatectomy haemorrhage: a single‐centre experience
ConclusionsRe‐exploration for haemorrhage following hepatectomy for PLC is a rare event. Haemorrhage occurs predominantly at the cut parenchymal surface. Early return to the operating room is vital and perioperative survival is common in this high‐risk group. (Source: HPB: official journal of the International Hepato Pancreat Biliary Association)

The impact of pancreaticojejunostomy versus pancreaticogastrostomy reconstruction on pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy: meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionsReconstruction by PG decreases the rate of PF in comparison with PJ. Surgeons should consider reconstructing the pancreatic remnant following PD with PG, particularly in patients at high risk for PF. (Source: HPB: official journal of the International Hepato Pancreat Biliary Association)
