Prior inpatient admission increases the risk of post‐operative infection in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery
DiscussionPre‐operative hospitalization is associated with an increased incidence of post‐operative infections, often with organisms that are resistant to surgical chemoprophylaxis. Patients hospitalized up to 1 year before HPB surgery may benefit from extended spectrum chemoprophylaxis. (Source: HPB: official journal of the International Hepato Pancreat Biliary Association)

Incidence and prognostic impact of para‐aortic lymph nodes metastases during pancreaticoduodenectomy for peri‐ampullary cancer
ConclusionsNeoplastic involvement of PALN in peri‐ampullary cancer is frequent and, so, their removal during PD could be justified. Moreover, PALN metastases should be not considered an absolute contraindication to radical surgery. (Source: HPB: official journal of the International Hepato Pancreat Biliary Association)

Outcome after a liver resection of benign lesions
DiscussionThe management of benign liver lesions necessitates an individualized therapy within a multidisciplinary, evidence‐based, treatment algorithm. Resection of benign liver lesions can be performed safely in well‐selected patients without mortality and low post‐operative morbidity.

Central hepatectomy versus extended hepatectomy for liver malignancy: a matched cohort comparison
ConclusionsCH, as compared with EH, was safe and associated with a shorter hospital stay and less post‐operative liver dysfunction. CH should be considered in patients with centrally located tumours amenable to such a resection. (Source: HPB: official journal of the International Hepato Pancreat Biliary Association)

Improved liver function after portal vein embolization and an elective right hepatectomy
ConclusionsFor equivalent volumes, the immediate post‐operative hepatic function appears to be better in livers prepared with PVE than in unprepared livers. Future studies should analyse whether the conventional inferior volume limit that allows a safe liver resection may be lowered when a PVE is performed.

The impact of peri‐operative blood transfusions on post‐pancreatectomy short‐term outcomes: an analysis from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program
ConclusionPeri‐operative RBCT for a pancreatectomy was independently associated with worse short‐term outcomes and prolonged LOS. Future studies should focus on the impact of interventions to minimize the use of RBCT after an elective pancreatectomy.

Systematic review on the use of matrix‐bound sealants in pancreatic resection
ConclusionsThe present data do not support the routine use of matrix‐bound sealants after a pancreatic resection, as there was no effect on clinically relevant POPF. Larger, well‐designed studies are needed to determine the efficacy of sealants in preventing POPF after a pancreatoduodenectomy.

Laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy does not completely mitigate increased perioperative risks in elderly patients
ConclusionsElderly patients undergoing TLPD experience rates of mortality, morbidity and cardiorespiratory events similar to those in patients submitted to OPD. In elderly patients, TLPD offers benefits by decreasing DGE, LoS and blood transfusion requirements. (Source: HPB: official journal of the International Hepato Pancreat Biliary Association)

Central venous pressure and liver resection: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
ConclusionLow CVP surgery is associated with a reduction in EBL; however, this does not translate into an improvement in post‐operative morbidity. The optimum method of CVP reduction has not been identified. (Source: HPB: official journal of the International Hepato Pancreat Biliary Association)
