Background/aims: To identify the risk factors for postoperative biliary complications after hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Methodology: The subjects were 123 patients who underwent hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma between January 2006 and December 2010. Perioperative factors related to postoperative bile leakage were studied.
Results: Postoperative bile leakage occurred in eight (6.5%) of the patients. Univariate analysis showed that liver fibrosis or cirrhosis (p=0.007), long operation time (>5 hours) (p=0.002), major hepatic resection (p=0.024) and hepatectomy including Couinaud's segment 4 (p=0.0078) or segment 5 (p=0.023) were associated with an incidence of bile leakage. From multivariate analysis, operation time (relative risk=6.10, p=0.026) or resection of segment 4 (relative risk=6.86, p=0.017) were found to be independent risk factors for bile leakage.
Conclusions: Prolonged operation time and hepatectomy including segment 4 led to a high risk for postoperative bile leakage in this series of patients.

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).

General Surgery, Royal Bolton Hospital, Bolton NHS Foundation Trust, Bolton, GBR.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a widely performed procedure, with securing the cystic duct being a critical step to prevent bile leakage. Traditional metal clips are commonly used, but alternative methods, such as non-absorbable polymer clips, absorbable clips, sutures, and ultrasonic shears, are also utilized. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the safety and efficacy of various cystic duct securing techniques.
