IntroductionA left lateral section is the first choice for a laparoscopic anatomic liver resection. The objective of this case–control study was to assess the surgical outcome after a laparoscopic left lateral resection for benign liver lesions compared with the open approach.
MethodsFrom January 2004 to April 2011, 31 laparoscopic left lateral resections were matched with 31 open left lateral resections...
ObjectivesThis study aimed to determine the impact of a standardized pathological protocol on resection margin status after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for ductal adenocarcinoma.
MethodsA total of 150 patients operated during 2008–2010 were included in a prospective multicentre study using a ‘quality protocol’. Multicolour inking by the surgeon identified three resection margins: the portal vein–superior...
BackgroundsA pancreatic fistula (PF) is the most relevant complication after a pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). This retrospective multicentric study attempts to elucidate the risk factors and complications of a PF in a large cohort of patients undergoing a PD for ductal adenocarcinoma.
MethodsUsing a survey tool, clinical data of 1325 patients undergoing a PD for ductal adenocarcinoma at 37 institutions,...
BackgroundThe aim was to assess the outcome of a total pancreatectomy (TP).
MethodsFrom 1993 to 2010, 56 patients underwent an elective TP for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia (n = 42), endocrine tumours (n = 6), adenocarcinoma (n = 5), metastases (n = 2) and chronic pancreatitis (n = 1). Morbidity and survival were analysed. Long‐term survivors were assessed prospectively using quality‐of‐life...
ObjectivesPancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high morbidity, in part as a result of infectious complications increased by preoperative bile contamination. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect on the incidence of infectious complications of short‐term antimicrobial therapy (AMT) in high‐risk patients.
MethodsPatients with a high risk for positive intraoperative bile culture...
