Background: Delayed intraperitoneal hemorrhage (DIH) is still an important cause of postoperative mortality in pancreatic and biliary surgery.
Methods: Sixty-nine patients who underwent pancreatic and biliary surgery with skeletonization for lymphadenectomy of the hepatoduodenal ligament between April 2002 and March 2005 were included in this study. Statistical analyses of the risk factors for DIH were performed using both univariate and multivariate modalities.
Results: DIH occurred in 4 patients (5.8%) within a median time of 15 days after surgery. Stepwise logistic regression analysis identified intra-abdominal abscess formation as the independent predictor of DIH. All 4 patients had a sentinel bleed before the onset of DIH. Three patients were treated by transarterial embolization and 1 patient was treated by surgical intervention. Three patients had liver abscess after hemostasis of DIH, but all 4 patients recovered and were discharged from the hospital.
Conclusions: A computed tomography angiography should be performed on patients with intra-abdominal abscess formation and sentinel bleed after pancreatic and biliary surgery to check if a pseudoaneurysm has formed.

Total hepatectomy and liver transplantation has emerged as a game-changing strategy in the treatment of several liver-confined primary or metastatic tumors, opening the new era of transplant oncology. However, the expansion of indications is going to worsen the chronic scarcity of organs, and new strategies are needed to enlarge the donor pool. A possible source of organs could be developing split liver transplantation (SLT) programs.

Background: Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) is commonly performed in patients with bile duct cancer (BDC). However, data regarding the timing of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) after PBD are insufficient. This study aimed to investigate the optimal timing for surgically and oncologically safe PD after PBD.

Methods: We examined 64 patients who were administered lenvatinib as second-line treatment after discontinuation of atezolizumab and bevacizumab. Proteinuria assessed before lenvatinib administration was considered severe if the qualitative value test (QV) was 3+ or the urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR) was ≥ 2.

Background: Congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) is a congenital malformation of the main biliary tract usually associated with the pancreatobiliary maljunction (PBM), determining stone formation, cholangitis, pancreatitis, and cholangiocarcinoma. The role of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in treatment and diagnosis has not been established yet. Therefore, the aim of our study is to define the actual role of ERCP in children with CBD.

Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is a common chronic liver disease caused by long-term excessive alcohol consumption and responsible for more than half of all liver-related deaths worldwide. The molecular mechanisms associated with ALD were not fully understood. In this study, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on liver tissues obtained from ALD patients and healthy liver donors.
