Purpose: Postoperative bile leakage is one of the most common complications after hepatic surgery. The relationship between the inflammatory response and postoperative bile leakage has not been fully investigated. Therefore, we retrospectively investigated the relation between postoperative peripheral blood monocyte count and bile leakage in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) after elective hepatic resection.
Methods: The study comprised 105 patients who had undergone hepatic resection for CRLM between January 2000 and March 2012. Perioperative risk factors pertinent to development of bile leakage were investigated using univariate and multivariate analyses.
Results: Bile leakage developed in 9 (8.6 %) of 105 patients. In multivariate analysis, intraoperative fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusion (p = 0.009) and lower monocyte count of the peripheral blood on postoperative day 1 (p = 0.038) were found as independent risk factors of bile leakage.
Conclusions: Postoperative lower monocyte count and intraoperative FFP transfusion were associated with the development of postoperative bile leakage after elective hepatic resection in patients with CRLM.

Background: An acquired diaphragmatic hernia (ADH) is an uncommon event following pediatric liver transplantation. Pediatric liver transplantation proves effective in prolonging survival and improving quality of life for children with methylmalonic acidemia. Remarkably, there have been no previous reports documenting the occurrence of post-liver transplant ADH in patients diagnosed with methylmalonic acidemia.

Objective: This study aimed to compare morbidity of living donors and recipients after pure laparoscopic donor right hepatectomy (PLDRH) and open donor right hepatectomy (ODRH).
Background: Donor and recipient morbidity have not been sufficiently reported in large-scale comparisons of PLDRH and ODRH.
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed 3348 donors who underwent PLDRH (n=329) and ODRH (n=3019) and their corresponding recipients (n=3348) between January 2014 and August 2023.

Biliopleural fistula (BF) is an uncommon complication that can occur after liver transplantation (LT). This condition, characterized by pleural biliary effusion, can lead to severe complications, particularly in immunocompromised patients. In this report, we present a clinical case detailing the successful treatment of BF following an adult-to-adult left lobe living donor LT (LDLT).

Objectives: To analyze the efficacy and influencing factors of percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography and biliary drainage (PTCD) in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ).
Methods: The study included 151 MOJ patients admitted from January 2021 to January 2024. Seventy patients in the control group received endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), while 81 patients in the research group underwent PTCD.

Background: Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with the development and progression of various diseases.
Aim: To explore the association between pretreatment RDW and short-term outcomes after laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD).
Methods: A total of 804 consecutive patients who underwent LPD at our hospital between March 2017 and November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.
