The authors present a classification of cryosurgical operations in resection of the liver in reoperated patients. The basis of this classification is different combination of usual and cryosurgical (cryoresection and cryodestruction) methods, which allow to increase the radicality of the operations. Ten kinds of cryointerventions (5 radical and 5 palliative) were established. The classification proposed allows the operative volume for resection of the liver in reoperated patients to be correctly planned.

Background: With an increasing number of Fontan patients surviving into adulthood, the burden of end-stage heart failure is increasing. Prior studies have reported suboptimal heart transplantation (HTx) outcomes. Therefore, the authors describe their institutional experience of HTx in patients with Fontan circulation failure, including heart-liver transplantation (HLTx) and pretransplant systemic ventricular assist device (SVAD) therapies.

Introduction: Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) and patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) constitute two major advances in pain management after major abdominal surgery. However, the role of PCIA or PCEA has not been particularly studied in elderly patients with gastric cancer. The aim of this study is to make a comparison between PCIA and PCEA in terms of their performance on short-term outcomes in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy.

Objective: To develop a model for preoperatively predicting postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCCS) in patients with poor left ventricular (LV) function undergoing cardiac surgery.

Methods: From the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Database, 11,493 patients with LV ejection fraction ≤35% underwent isolated on-pump surgery from 2018 through 2019, of whom 3428 experienced PCCS. In total, 68 preoperative clinical variables were considered in machine-learning algorithms trained and optimized using scikit-learn software.

Morbid Obesity and Liver Transplant.

Transplant Proc

January 2025

Hepatobiliary Surgery and Liver Transplantation Unit, Cruces University Hospital, Bilbao, Spain. Electronic address:

Background: The progressive increase in the prevalence of morbid obesity (MO) in the general population is a pressing issue. This rise in MO has also been observed in patients with liver disease who are candidates for liver transplantation (LT).

Methods: A retrospective study of a single-center series was conducted to analyze the impact of MO on morbidity, mortality, and patient survival after LT.
