Background: Neuroendocrine tumor liver metastases (NELM) are a major source of morbidity and mortality in neuroendocrine tumor patients and can be treated with hepatic debulking surgery (HDS). This study aims to identify variables associated with postoperative morbidity in NELM HDS.

Study Design: This analysis uses the American College of Surgeons NSQIP targeted hepatectomy-specific Participant User File from 2014 to 2020. Surgeries were grouped by number of hepatic resections performed (1 to 5, 6 to 10, greater than 10). Multivariable logistic regression and matching were used to identify prognostic factors of morbidity.

Results: A total of 1,163 patients were included. A total of 1,011 (87%) had 1 to 5 hepatic resections, 101 (8.7%) had 6 to 10 resections, and 51 (4.4%) had greater than 10 resections. The overall complication rate was 35%, and surgical and medical complications reached 30% and 13%, respectively. Mortality occurred in 11 patients (0.9%). Significantly higher rates of any (34% vs 35% vs 53%, p = 0.021) and surgical complications (29% vs 28% vs 49%, p = 0.007) were noted for those undergoing greater than 10 resections (1 to 5 resections, 6 to 10, greater than 10). "Bleeding requiring transfusion" (p < 0.0001) occurred more frequently in the greater than 10 resection group. On multivariable logistic regression, greater than 10 resections were an independent risk factor for any (odds ratio [OR] 2.53, p = 0.002; OR 2.52, p =. 0013) and surgical (OR 2.53, p = 0.003; OR 2.88, p = 0.005) complications compared with 1 to 5 resections and 6 to 10 resections, respectively. Medical complications (OR 2.34, p = 0.020) and length of stay greater than 5 days (OR 1.98, p = 0.032) were also increased with greater than 10 vs 1 to 5 resections.

Conclusions: As reported by NSQIP, NELM HDS were performed safely with low mortality. However, more hepatic resections, especially greater than 10, were associated with increased postoperative morbidity and length of stay.

Perinatal Management of Hepatic Adenomas.

Obstet Gynecol Surv

December 2024

Assistant Professor, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, TN.

Importance: With a strong association between hepatic adenomas and estrogen established, understanding the risks, evaluation, and perinatal management of hepatic adenomas is necessary for obstetric clinicians.

Objective: The aim of this study is to review the preconception counseling, perinatal management, and postpartum care of hepatic adenomas.

Evidence Acquisition: A literature review identified relevant research, review articles, textbook chapters, databases, and societal guidelines.

Hepatic arterial infusion therapy involves surgically implanting a subcutaneous hepatic arterial infusion pump with the catheter tip at the hepatic artery. This pump directly delivers chemotherapy to the liver, which may reduce systemic toxicity, improve resectability, and treat unresectable hepatic lesions. This therapy is used in primary or metastatic hepatic malignancies.

Background/aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic impact of the inflammatory burden index (IBI), a novel inflammation-based biomarker, in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) after hepatic resection.

Patients And Methods: One hundred fifty patients with CRLM who underwent hepatectomy were retrospectively analyzed. The IBI was defined as C-reactive protein × neutrophil count/lymphocyte count.

The tumor distance to the main hepatic vessels is a predictor of recurrence-free survival and overall survival in hepatocellular cancer.

Langenbecks Arch Surg

Introduction: The impact of the distance of the tumor from the main hepatic vessels (DTV), such as the Glissonean pedicle or hepatic veins, on oncological outcomes for Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients is relatively understudied. Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore the correlation between DTV and survival in patients with HCC after curative hepatic resection.

Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent curative-intent liver surgery for HCC between April 2018 and May 2023 were identified from a prospective database.

Introduction Although metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is becoming more common in individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), it is still unknown how this condition relates to postoperative complications of HCC. While hepatitis B/C virus (HBV/HCV) infection and alcohol use are primary risk factors, MAFLD has emerged as a significant contributor to HCC incidence. Understanding the prognostic impact of MAFLD on HCC outcomes, particularly post-radical resection, is essential.
