Background: The aim of this meta-analysis and systematic review was to evaluate the association between intraoperative bile cultures and postoperative complications of patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Methods: A detailed literature search was performed from January 2015 to July 2022 in PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and EMBASE for related research publications. The data were extracted, screened, and graded independently. An analysis of pooled data was performed, and a risk ratio with corresponding confidence intervals was calculated and summarized.
Results: A total of 8 articles were included with 1,778 pancreaticoduodenectomy patients who had an intraoperative bile culture performed. A systematic review demonstrated that some of the most common organisms isolated in a positive intraoperative bile culture were Enterococcus species, Klebsiella species, and E. coli. Four studies also showed that specific microorganisms were associated with specific postoperative complications (surgical site infection and intra-abdominal abscess). The postoperative complications that were evaluated for an association with a positive intraoperative bile culture were surgical site infections (risk ratio = 2.33, 95% confidence interval [1.47-3.69], P < .01), delayed gastric emptying (risk ratio = 1.23, 95% confidence interval [0.63-2.38], P = n.s.), 90-day mortality (risk ratio = 0.68, 95% confidence interval [0.01-52.76], P = n.s.), postoperative pancreatic hemorrhage (risk ratio = 1.70, 95% confidence interval [0.33-8.74], P = n.s.), intra-abdominal abscess (risk ratio = 1.70, 95% confidence interval [0.38-7.56], P = n.s.), and postoperative pancreatic fistula (risk ratio = 0.97, 95% confidence interval [0.72-1.32], P = n.s.).
Conclusion: The cumulative data suggest that a positive intraoperative bile culture has no association with predicting the postoperative complications of delayed gastric emptying, 90-day mortality, postoperative pancreatic hemorrhage, intra-abdominal abscess, or postoperative pancreatic fistula. However, the data also suggest that a positive intraoperative bile culture was associated with a patient developing a surgical site infection.

Introduction Major hepatectomy is the mainstay of curative-intent resection for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) patients. Textbook Outcomes in Liver Surgery (TOLS) are a new composite parameter for evaluating the short-term outcomes of surgery; however, their association with overall survival (OS) is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between TOLS and OS in pCCA patients following major hepatectomy.

Background: Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) can be challenging due to the difficulty of establishing a retrohepatic tunnel under laparoscopy. Dissecting the third hepatic hilum before parenchymal transection often leads to significant liver mobilization, tumor compression, and bleeding from the short hepatic veins (SHVs). This study introduces a novel technique utilizing the ventral avascular area of the inferior vena cava (IVC), allowing SHVs to be addressed after parenchymal transection, thereby reducing surgical complexity and improving outcomes in in situ LLR.

In Japan, the hinotori™ surgical robot system (Medicaroid Corporation, Kobe, Japan) was approved for gastrointestinal surgeries in October 2022. This report details our initial experience performing liver resection using the hinotori™ system. Ten patients, who were assessed as cases that would benefit from the robot-assisted procedure, underwent liver resections using the hinotori™ system at Fujita Health University, Okazaki Medical Center, between August 2023 and October 2024.

Biliary atresia (BA) is a serious hepatobiliary disorder that occurs due to progressive inflammation and scarring obstruction in the bile ducts, posing a threat to life. This condition usually appears in infants, and timely identification is fundamental for a better prognosis. If left untreated, individuals will inevitably experience liver damage and mortality.

Objective: We sought to develop a machine learning (ML) preoperative model to predict bile leak following hepatectomy for primary and secondary liver cancer.
Methods: An eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model was developed to predict post-hepatectomy bile leak using data from the ACS-NSQIP database. The model was externally validated using data from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) multi-institutional databases.
