Objective: To determine the impact of postoperative infectious complications in the long term survival of patients gastrectomized for gastric carcinoma with curative intent.
Materials And Methods: The present cohort study evaluated a series of 79 patients diagnosed with resectable advanced gastric carcinoma with curative intent. They were grouped in: Group A (N=28): patients with postoperative infectious complications and Group B (N=51): patients who did not develop postoperative infectious complications. The study covered the years 2008-2013.
Results: In group A, the survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years was 74%, 74% and 47.6% respectively. In group B, the survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years was 80.3%, 56% and 49.8% respectively (p=0.365). The main postoperative infectious complications not related to the surgical technique were pneumonia (20.3%), followed by urinary tract infection (3.8%). The main postoperative infectious complications related to surgical technique was sepsis (n=5), two of which were related to dehiscence esophagojejunal anastomosis, two bye gastroyeyunal fistula, another bye enterocutaneous fistula and one patient who presented abscess and necrosis peripancreatic's tissue.
Conclusions: There was no impact on survival at 5 years in patients with postoperative infectious complications after gastrectomy with curative intent. However, further studies should be carried over.

Perioperative infections as a prognostic risk factor in hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocellular carcinoma: a comparative analysis.

Background: Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocellular adenocarcinoma (CCA) are the most common primary liver tumors representing a major global health burden. In early disease stages, tumor resection may provide long-term survival in selected patients. However, morbidity and mortality rates are still relatively high after extended liver surgery with perioperative bacterial infections representing major complications.

Importance: It remains unknown whether outcomes of the Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves 3 (PARTNER 3) and Evolut Low Risk trials are comparable with surgical outcomes in nontrial settings, considering the added risk of concomitant cardiac operations.
Objective: To compare 30-day mortality and stroke incidences of patients in the surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) arm of low-risk trials with those of similar patients in the US Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (STS ACSD).
Design, Setting, And Participants: A cross-sectional sampling study was conducted of adults in the STS ACSD with severe aortic stenosis at low surgical risk for AVR who underwent SAVR during the years low-risk AVR trials (PARTNER 3 and Evolut Low Risk) were enrolling (calendar years 2016-2018).

Liver transplantation (LT) is a cost-effective therapy for advanced liver disease. Although LT significantly improves long-term survival, it requires strict control of immunosuppressants and their potential complications. Several available immunosuppressive drugs include glucocorticoids, calcineurin inhibitors, mycophenolate, mTOR inhibitors, and anti-CD25 antibodies.

Background: We previously reported that the balance of short-chain fatty acids and lactic acid in feces affects postoperative infectious complications after major hepatectomy. However, the effect remains unclear in pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Methods: Preoperative fecal samples were collected from 210 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at 2 institutions between January 2019 and June 2021.

Background: We sought to define textbook outcome in liver surgery (TOLS) for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) by considering the implications of perioperative outcomes on overall survival (OS).
Methods: Using a multi-institutional database, TOLS for ICC was defined by employing novel machine learning (ML) models to identify perioperative factors most strongly predictive of OS ≥ 12 months. Subsequently, clinicopathologic factors associated with achieving TOLS were investigated.
