Acute cholangitis ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znag010 Key points • Initiate fluid resuscitation and antibiotic infusion immediately upon suspicion of cholangitis • Confirm the diagnosis with radiology and blood tests, then evaluate and grade the severity of cholangitis • For moderate or severe cholangitis, ensure facilities for emergent biliary decompression are available. If not, transfer the patient to the nearest expert centre. • Endoscopic transpapillary drainage via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) remains the standard of care • Endoscopic ultrasound or percutaneous transhepatic access are alternatives when ERCP fails or as adjuncts in rendezvous techniques Work by Erik von Seth, Mari Hult #SoMe4Surgery #MedTwitter #SurgEd #Surgery @RCPSGTrainees @aecirujanos @SEIQuirurgica @iss_sic #MedicalTechniques @BJSAcademy @young_bjs @BJSOpen @evanscolorectal @robhinchliffe1 @bplwijn @MalinASund @nfmkok @TejedorPat @paulo_sutt @PVaughanShaw @JJEarnshaw @juliomayol @ksoreide #some4hpb #some4tpl @DPCG_official @pancreatitis_nl @PancreasClub #PancreasClub2023 #PancreaticCancer #Pancreatitis #HCC @PanCAN #PanCANawareness @EurPancClub @P_C_E_ @dice_europe #PancreaticCancer #cholangiocarcinoma #HPBSurgery #GallbladderCancer #Oncology #LiverSurgery

Preoperative carbohydrate antigen 19-9 as a prognostic biomarker in colorectal cancer with synchronous peritoneal metastasis: multicentre cohort study ➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjsopen/zrag… Overall survival curves based on preoperative serum levels of tumour markers in patients with colorectal cancer and peritoneal metastasis in Cohort 1 were determined. Preoperative serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were associated with overall survival. However, CA19-9 levels exhibited a stronger, concentration-dependent association with prognosis compared with CEA levels. 👏👏👏Keita Tashiro , Yoshiki Kajiwara , Hideki Ueno , Hirotoshi Kobayashi , Kenjiro Kotake , Kenichi Sugihara , Yoichi Ajioka #SoMe4Surgery #MedTwitter #SurgEd #Surgery @BJSAcademy @BJSurgery #colorectalsurgery #colorectalcancer @FightCRC #StepUp4CRC

Perioperative faecal microbiome dynamics in patients undergoing rectal cancer surgery in the IMARI-trial ➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjsopen/zrag… In a multicentre prospective cohort, the authors longitudinally profiled the faecal microbiome before and on postoperative day 4 after rectal cancer surgery, stratified by selective digestive decontamination and ileostomy status. Surgery was the dominant driver of change, with uniform postoperative loss of alpha diversity and rises in facultative anaerobes (for example Enterococcus, Klebsiella); ileostomy and SDD contributed smaller, selective effects. These data define early perioperative disruption and provide a foundation for linking microbial trajectories to clinical outcomes and for evaluating microbiome-informed perioperative strategies. 👏👏👏Kiedo Wienholts , Anne E Petersen , Claire P M van Helsdingen , Kevin Talboom , Mark Davids , Johannes H W de Wilt , Wouter J de Jonge , Pieter J Tanis , Roel Hompes , Joep P M Derikx on behalf of the , IMARI-study group #SoMe4Surgery #MedTwitter #SurgEd #Surgery @BJSAcademy @BJSurgery

Anastomotic leak after colorectal surgery: current landscape and future directions ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znag041 🔗 Anastomotic leak remains one of the most feared complications after colorectal surgery, with major consequences including sepsis, reoperation, permanent stoma, and poorer oncological outcomes 📊 Leak rates remain substantial despite modern care: 3–6% after ileocolic anastomoses and up to 10–20% after low colorectal anastomoses 🧬 Anastomotic healing is multifactorial, involving surgical technique, perfusion, host immune response, and the gut microbiome 💡 ICG fluorescence angiography may improve perfusion assessment, particularly in rectal cancer surgery, but standardized quantitative thresholds are still needed 🦠 The microbiome is emerging as a key contributor, with collagenase-producing bacteria potentially weakening the anastomosis 🎯 Future prevention will likely require personalized risk stratification and targeted interventions rather than a one-size-fits-all approach Work by Jack A Helliwell , Aaron Quyn , David G Jayne #SoMe4Surgery #MedTwitter #SurgEd #Surgery @RCPSGTrainees @aecirujanos @SEIQuirurgica @iss_sic #MedicalTechniques @BJSAcademy @young_bjs @BJSOpen @evanscolorectal @robhinchliffe1 @bplwijn @MalinASund @nfmkok @TejedorPat @paulo_sutt @PVaughanShaw @JJEarnshaw @juliomayol @ksoreide #colorectalsurgery #StepUp4CRC @FightCRC @ACPGBI #ERAS @dice_europe #Crohn #proctology @Dukes_Club @ACPGBI_EduTrain @AECP_FAECP @PelvExGroup @escp_tweets @YouESCP #TeachMeColoproctology #Some4COLoprocto

Development of a standard definition of ‘no-option’ and ‘poor-option’ for revascularization in chronic limb-threatening ischemia ➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znag040 🦵 How should we define “no-option” or “poor-option” CLTI? 🌍 This modified Delphi study brought together 164 vascular specialists from 30 countries to develop an expert-validated definition. 📊 Consensus supported a multidomain ABRFC framework: arterial anatomy, biology, risk, function, and context. ⚠️ “No-option” CLTI includes desert foot, prohibitive medical risk, non-functional limb, or patient refusal of revascularization. 🔍 “Poor-option” CLTI reflects combined factors such as severe infection, lack of autologous vein, or treatment non-compliance. 🎯 This framework can standardize clinical assessment, trial design, reporting, and future guideline development.

Presurgical levels of circulating tumour DNA in patients with resectable chemotherapy-naïve colorectal liver metastases: association with multiorgan recurrence and survival in the MIRACLE cohort ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znaf295 📊 In this cohort of 182 patients undergoing curative-intent treatment for CRLM, 19% were classified as ctDNA-high using the mFast-SeqS aneuploidy assay. ⚠️ ctDNA-high patients had markedly worse outcomes, with 1-year recurrence-free survival of 29% vs 52% and 3-year overall survival of 48% vs 78%. 🌍 Multiorgan recurrence within the first year was significantly more common in ctDNA-high patients. 🔍 The aneuploidy score independently predicted recurrence and survival on multivariable analysis. 🎯 mFast-SeqS may provide a low-cost, minimally invasive strategy to identify patients at high risk of rapid recurrence before treatment.

Clinical Outcomes Associated with Prior GLP-1 Exposure in Burned Patients ➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znag048 💉 GLP-1 receptor agonists may offer benefits beyond glycaemic control in burn patients, with potential anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. 📊 In a large matched cohort (n=8,307 per group), prior GLP-1 use was associated with 54% lower mortality (OR 0.46; p<0.001). 🏥 Significant reductions were seen in ICU admission (−35%) and intubation (−62%), indicating lower critical care needs. 🦠 Infectious complications were also reduced, including sepsis (−32%), pneumonia (−24%), and MRSA (−27%), with less antibiotic use. ⚠️ A signal toward increased hypertrophic scarring ( 27%) was observed at longer follow-up. 🎯 Prior GLP-1 exposure may improve burn outcomes, supporting further prospective studies to guide perioperative strategies.
