ObjectiveTo compare surgical outcomes between matched central hepatectomy (CH) and extended hepatectomy (EH) groups.
BackgroundSurgical choices for centrally located liver tumours are limited. The traditional EH harbours substantial risks, whereas CH is an alternative parenchymal‐sparing resection that may improve peri‐operative morbidity.
MethodsA review of 4661 liver resections at a single institution...
ObjectivesThis study was conducted to evaluate the prognostic value of, respectively, the 6th and 7th editions of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system for patients with resected perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC).
MethodsPatients who underwent resection of PHC between 1991 and 2012 were identified from prospective databases at two centres. Overall survival was estimated using...
BackgroundThe reliable prediction of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence patterns potentially allows for the prioritization of patients for liver resection (LR) or transplantation.
ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to analyse clinicopathological factors and preoperative Milan criteria (MC) status in predicting patterns of HCC recurrence.
MethodsDuring 1992–2012, 320 patients undergoing LR...
ObjectivesThe timing of major elective operations is a potentially important but rarely examined outcome variable. This study examined elective pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) timing as a perioperative outcome variable.
MethodsConsecutive patients submitted to PD were identified. Determinants of 90‐day morbidity (prospectively graded and tracked), anastomotic leak or fistula, and mortality, including...
BackgroundFor patients undergoing liver resection for colorectal metastases, specific clinico‐pathological variables have been shown to be prognostic at baseline. This study analyses how the prognostic capability of these variables changes in a conditional survival model.
MethodsRetrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of patients who underwent an R0 resection of colorectal liver...
BackgroundNeoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy for locally unresectable and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer may allow some patients to a undergo a resection, but whether or not this increases post‐operative morbidity remains unclear.
MethodsThe post‐operative morbidity of 29 patients with initially locally unresectable/borderline pancreatic cancer who underwent a resection were compared with...
IntroductionHepatocellular adenoma (HA) is an uncommon benign hepatic tumour with the potential for malignant change or spontaneous haemorrhage. Resection has been the recommended treatment, but outcomes with other approaches are ill defined.
MethodsDemographic and outcomes data were retrospectively collected on patients diagnosed with HA at a tertiary hepatobiliary centre from 1992–2011 whom underwent...
Background: The role of staging laparoscopy (SL) in patients with incidental gallbladder cancer (IGBC) is ill defined. This study evaluates the utility of SL with the aim of identifying variables associated with disseminated disease (DD).
Methods: Consecutive patients with IGBC who underwent re‐exploration between 1998 and 2009 were identified from a prospective database. The yield and accuracy...
