Post-hepatectomy liver failure ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znag004 🫀 PHLF remains the Achilles’ heel of liver surgery, with high mortality once severe liver failure develops 📊 Risk depends on functional liver remnant, liver quality, extent of resection, and postoperative complications 🔍 No reliable treatment exists, making preoperative assessment and prevention essential 📈 Volumetry, functional testing, and liver augmentation strategies are key before high-risk major hepatectomy Work by @ksoreide, Anita Balakrishnan , Helena Taflin #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 #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

When evaluating patients with neuroendocrine tumors with CT, contrast timing matters. A lot... Dual-phase imaging is critical. The patient below has a duodenal NET metastatic to the liver. Venous phase images on the left, arterial phase on the right. Which one is more informative...? Same scanner, 30-40 sec difference, I think... @PatrickMcGarrah If the question is a NET, dual phase imaging rules!

Would love to be there for this! Perhaps could be persuaded to attend @alpshpb next year and present the same?

How long should prophylactic antibiotics be used after pancreaticoduodenectomy following biliary drainage? A new study shows that a 3-day course significantly reduces surgical site infections compared to the standard 24-hour duration, lowering infection rates from 32% to 14%.👍 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… #SoMe4Surgery @JSHBPS #SoMe4HPB #AGSurg

Operable pancreatic cancer in the CASSANDRA era: time to rethink the algorithm New commentary in Journal of Clinical Oncology by Fausto Petrelli & Lorenzo Dottorini explores how emerging data reshape perioperative strategies for #PancreaticCancer. Key insights: 🔹 Up-front surgery adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX remains the reference for fit, standard-risk resectable PDAC. 🔹 Neoadjuvant therapy is increasingly favored in biologically high-risk or borderline resectable disease. 🔹 The CASSANDRA trial suggests PAXG may improve event-free survival vs mFOLFIRINOX in neoadjuvant settings, though OS data remain immature. 📌 The future is risk-adapted therapy, integrating tumor biology, patient fitness, and multidisciplinary decision-making. 🔗 ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO… @JCO_ASCO @ASCO @EileenMOReilly @KimmieNgMD @CathyEngMD #GIOncology #OncoTwitter

Neoadjuvant gemcitabine–oxaliplatin, lenvatinib, and anti–PD-1 antibody led to longer event-free survival than surgery alone in resectable high-risk intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, with mainly low-grade adverse events.
