Incidental Gallbladder Cancer: How Residual Disease Affects Outcome in Two Referral HPB Centers from South America.

Background: Residual disease (RD) has been described as one of the most relevant prognostic factors after radical surgical resection for incidental gallbladder cancer (IGC). The purpose of the present study was to analyze patterns of RD and determinant prognostic factors in patients undergoing re-resection for IGC.

Methods: Patients undergoing re-exploration due to IGC between 1990 and 2014 were identified in two referral centers from different South-American countries.

[Radical surgery for incidental gallbladder cancer: the value of a deferred pathological finding of residual disease].

Background: Surgical treatment of gallbladder cancer is still controversial. The extent of the radical surgery and its therapeutic efficacy continue to be debated.

Objective: Analyze the efficacy of radical resection in patients with incidental gallbladder cancer evaluating the presence of residual disease in the resection specimen and analyzing the associated factors of survival.

Relevance of residual disease after liver resection for incidental gallbladder cancer.

Objectives: In patients diagnosed with incidental gallbladder cancer (GC), the benefit and optimal extent of further surgery remain unclear. The aims of this study were to analyse outcomes in patients who underwent liver resection following a diagnosis of incidental GC and to determine factors associated with longterm survival.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with incidental GC between June 1999 and June 2010 was performed.

[Study of prognostic factors in the hepatectomy for metastases of colorectal carcinoma--analysis of two scores].

Background: Resection is the treatment of choice for colorectal cancer liver metastases.

Objective: This is a retrospective, longitudinal, retrospective analysis of different prognostic factors for survival in a consecutive series of liver resection for metastatic colorectal carcinoma.

Patients And Methods: Between October 1998 and November 2007, we performed 89 liver resections for colorectal metastases.

Liver transplantation in adult patients with portal vein thrombosis: risk factors, management and outcome.

Background: Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a well recognized complication of patients with end-stage cirrhosis and its incidence ranges from 2 to 26%. The aim of this study was to analyze the results and long-term follow-up of a consecutive series of liver transplants performed in patients with PVT and compare them with patients transplanted without PVT.

Patients And Methods: Between July 1995 and June 2006, 26 liver transplants were performed in patients with PVT (8.
