Methods: Patients with GBC operated from 1998 to 2008 were included in a retrospective multicenter study (AFC).

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) compared to standard assessment techniques for detecting liver lesions in patients undergoing right hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastasis.* -
- It involved 24 patients and compared results from EUS, computed tomography, and intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS), finding that EUS identified fewer lesions than IOUS and had mixed sensitivity and specificity.* -
- Ultimately, while EUS offered some benefits in specificity and positive predictive value for certain liver segments, it was not reliable enough for routine use, reaffirming IOUS as the most accurate method for assessing the left liver.*

Background: Pancreatic fistula (PF) is one of the most common postoperative complications of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). A recent International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) definition grades the severity of PF according to the clinical impact on the patient's hospital course. Although PF is generally treated conservatively (grade A), some cases may require interventional procedures (grade B) or may be life-threatening and necessitate emergency reoperation (grade C).
