Article Synopsis
- - The long-term follow-up study reassessed 73 patients from the PANTER trial, evaluating the efficacy of a surgical step-up approach for infected necrotizing pancreatitis compared to traditional open necrosectomy, with a follow-up period averaging 86 months.
- - Results indicated that only 44% of the step-up group experienced death or major complications versus 73% in the open-necrosectomy group, alongside significantly lower rates of issues like incisional hernias and pancreatic insufficiency in the step-up group.
- - Both groups showed similar rates in terms of needing additional drainage or surgeries, and patients reported improved quality of life without significant differences between the surgical techniques used.
Background: Shared decision-making (SDM) seeks to involve both patients and clinicians in decision-making about possible health management strategies, using patients' preferences and best available evidence. SDM seems readily applicable in anesthesiology. We aimed to determine the current level of SDM among preoperative patients and anesthesiology clinicians.

The aim of this observational study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of resection of liver metastases from breast cancer and to identify prognostic factors for overall survival.
Methods: Patients were identified using the national registry of histo- and cytopathology in the Netherlands (PALGA).
Background & Aims: Treatment of patients with necrotizing pancreatitis has become more conservative and less invasive, but there are few data from prospective studies to support the efficacy of this change. We performed a prospective multicenter study of treatment outcomes among patients with necrotizing pancreatitis.
Methods: We collected data from 639 consecutive patients with necrotizing pancreatitis, from 2004 to 2008, treated at 21 Dutch hospitals.
