Purpose: Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) prior to pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is controversial. The aim of this study was to clarify how PBD leads to postoperative complications of PD.

Methods: The subjects of this retrospective study were 230 patients who underwent PD between January, 2008 and January, 2018. We analyzed how PBD was associated with severe postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥ IIIB) with special reference to its links with bacterial contamination.

Results: Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) was correlated with the contamination of both bile juice collected at surgery (p < 0.001) and ascites collected from the intraperitoneal drain on postoperative day (POD) 3 (p < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that PBD for longer than 28 days was significantly associated with the contamination of bile juice. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that the contamination of ascites on POD3 was independently associated with severe postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥ IIIB) (odds ratio 3.52, p = 0.03), although PBD and the contaminated bile juice at surgery were not.

Conclusions: PBD was associated with the contamination of biliary tract and ascites after surgery. The current study revealed that contaminated ascites on POD 3, not PBD by itself, was independently associated with severe postoperative complications after PD.

Objective: This study aimed to clarify whether nutritional status at admission affects enteral nutrition weaning 6 months after surgery in patients with esophageal cancer.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of 81 patients who underwent subtotal esophageal cancer resection between April 2014 and February 2016. The survey items were as follows: 1) sex, 2) age, 3) presence or absence of family members living together, 4) clinical stage, 5) surgical procedure, 6) reconstructed organs, 7) nutritional status at admission, 8) presence or absence of postoperative complications (anastomotic leakage, chylothorax, and recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis), and 9) presence or absence of treatment other than surgery (chemo- or radiotherapy).

Background: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the leading surgically treatable cause of hypertension, with adrenalectomy as the definitive treatment for unilateral PA (UPA). However, some patients have persistent hypertension after surgery. This study aims to identify preoperative factors affecting surgical outcomes and develop a predictive model for postoperative hypertension resolution.

Background: In the last two decades, robotic-assisted gastrectomy has become a widely adopted surgical option for gastric cancer (GC) treatment. Despite its popularity, postoperative complications can significantly deteriorate patient quality of life and prognosis. Therefore, identifying risk factors for these complications is crucial for early detection and intervention.

Background A comprehensive assessment of skeletal muscle health is crucial to understanding the association between improved clinical outcomes and obesity as defined by body mass index (BMI; calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) in lung cancer, but limited studies have been conducted on this topic. Purpose To investigate the association between BMI-defined obesity and survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent curative resection, with a specific focus on the status of skeletal muscle assessed at CT. Materials and Methods This retrospective study investigated Korean patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent curative resection between January 2008 and December 2019.
