Article Synopsis
- * Conducted between June 2019 and August 2020, the retrospective analysis involved 40 hospitals, with insights derived from over 2,200 liver surgeries, including 1350 for colorectal metastases, of which 150 utilized the liver-first strategy.
- * Findings revealed no significant differences in surgical outcomes between hospitals performing fewer than 50 versus those performing 50 or more liver surgeries per year, prompting further research into optimal candidate selection for this treatment approach.
Background: Textbook outcome is a valuable tool for assessing surgical outcomes. The aim of this study was to analyse textbook-outcome rates in the prospective Spanish National Registry of the Liver-First Approach (RENACI Project) and the factors influencing textbook-outcome achievement. Additionally, a model for assessing a procedure-specific textbook outcome for the liver-first approach was proposed.

In the same way, the establishment of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program in major abdominal surgery has shortened the hospital stay. There are several studies that report the results on ERAS programs applied to open or laparoscopic hepatectomies or comparing one of them with the classic approach but few have compared the results between both within an ERAS program.

Background: Standardized histological examination of PD specimens has shown that most pancreatic resections thought to be R0 resections are R1. "Artery-first approach" is a surgical technique characterized by meticulous dissection of arterial planes and clearing of retropancreatic tissue in an attempt to achieve a higher rate of R0.
