Oncologic effect of preoperative endoscopic sphincterotomy in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for ampulla of vater cancer. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2025; 410:161. [PMID: 40377694 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-025-03730-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2025] [Accepted: 05/06/2025] [Indexed: 05/18/2025]
Abstract
PURPOSE Ampulla of Vater (AoV) cancer often presents with bile flow obstruction requiring bile drainage. Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) for AoV cancer may result in inflammation and spread of the tumor due to the abundant lymphatic channels and microvascular structures around the AoV, which may impact the postoperative and oncologic outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the postoperative and oncological effects of EST on AoV cancer. METHODS Medical records of 131 patients with AoV cancer who underwent pancreaticoduodeenectomy between 2011 and 2020 were reviewed. We compared the perioperative outcomes, overall survival, and disease recurrence in the patients. RESULTS Approximately 71 patients underwent EST for preoperative biliary drainage, whereas 60 did not receive any procedure or underwent percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. No significant differences were observed in the 5-year overall survival rate (EST 69.9% vs. no EST 75.1%, P = 0.804) or the 5-year cumulative recurrence rate (EST 49.1% vs. no EST 56.8%, P = 0.855). However, in subgroup analysis using the T stage, EST was associated with reduced 5-year overall survival in the T3 and T4 stages (EST 34.8% vs. no EST 78.0%: P = 0.038). CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION Preoperative endoscopic intervention for AoV cancer did not affect oncologic outcomes. However, in the advanced stage, direct manipulation of cancer may result in lower overall survival, requiring careful consideration for preoperative biliary drainage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) is commonly performed in patients with bile duct cancer (BDC). However, data regarding the timing of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) after PBD are insufficient. This study aimed to investigate the optimal timing for surgically and oncologically safe PD after PBD. METHODS Data of patients who underwent PD for BDC between 2018 and 2020 were reviewed. Risk factor analysis was performed to determine clinical associations of PBD with surgical and survival outcomes. Dose-response curves were plotted to indicate the effect of the time interval between PBD and PD on each outcome. RESULTS A total of 109 patients underwent PBD before surgery. In multivariable analysis, PD after 20 days of PBD was significantly associated with improved survival after adjusting for other risk factors (hazard ratio 0.119, 95% confidence interval 0.028-0.5000; P = 0.004). Dose-response graphs showed that rates of postoperative complications and survival were lower when PD was performed around 20 days after PBD. CONCLUSION In BDC patients, the rate of postoperative complications was lower with fair survival outcomes when PD was performed around 20 days after PBD. A large-scale, prospective study is needed to investigate surgical and oncological effects of PBD in BDC patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography drainage (PTCD) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in palliative drainage and preoperative biliary drainage for treating malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ). METHODS A total of 520 patients with MOJ who underwent PTCD or ERCP were enrolled and classified into palliative drainage group and preoperative biliary drainage group. Baseline characteristics, liver function, blood routine, complications were compared among the groups. RESULTS The technical success rates for PTCD and ERCP in palliative group were 97.1% and 85.9%. In palliative drainage group, PTCD had higher levels of total bilirubin (TB) reduction (53.0 (30.0,97.0) vs. 36.8 (17.9,65.0), p < 0.001) and direct bilirubin (DB) reduction (42.0 (22.0,78.5) vs. 28.0 (12.0,50.8), p = 0.001) than ERCP. However, PTCD was associated with higher rates of drainage tube displacement (20 cases, 11.8%), while ERCP had a higher incidence of biliary infection (39 cases, 22.8%) and pancreatitis (7 cases, 4.1%). In preoperative drainage group, PTCD achieved a 50% reduction in total bilirubin faster than ERCP (7.1 days vs. 10.5 days). And the time from palliation of jaundice to surgery was 24.2 days in PTCD group and 35.7 days in ERCP group, a statistically significant difference (Student's t test, p = 0.017). CONCLUSION Both PTCD and ERCP could improve liver function for MOJ patients. PTCD seems to offer better outcomes in jaundice reduction and liver function improvement in palliative drainage, but requires careful postoperative management. In preoperative biliary drainage, PTCD may be a better preoperative bridge to improve liver function and control infection.

Abstract
The necessity of biliary drainage before pancreaticoduodenectomy remains controversial in cases involving malignant obstructive jaundice; however, the benefits of biliary drainage have been reported in cases with severe hyperbilirubinemia. Herein, we present the case of a 61-year-old man suffering from jaundice due to distal cholangiocarcinoma. In this case, obstructive jaundice was refractory to repeat endoscopic drainage and bilirubin adsorption. Hyperbilirubinemia persisted despite successful implementation of biliary endoscopic sphincterotomy and two rounds of plastic stent placements. Stent occlusion and migration were unlikely and oral cholagogues proved ineffective. Owing to the patient's surgical candidacy and his aversion to nasobiliary drainage due to discomfort, bilirubin adsorption was introduced as an alternative therapeutic intervention. Following repeated adsorption sessions, a gradual decline in serum total bilirubin levels was observed and pancreaticoduodenectomy was scheduled. The patient successfully underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with portal vein resection and reconstruction and D2 lymph node dissection. After the surgery, the serum bilirubin levels gradually decreased and the patient remained alive, with no recurrence at 26 months postoperatively. Therefore, this case highlights the feasibility and safety of performing pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients with severe, refractory jaundice who have not responded to repeated endoscopic interventions and have partially responded to bilirubin adsorption.

Abstract
Background: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between pre-operative body mass index (BMI) and surgical infection in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) patients treated with curative resection. Methods: Consecutive pCCA patients were enrolled from four tertiary hospitals between 2008 and 2022. According to pre-operative BMI, the patients were divided into three groups: low BMI (≤18.4 kg/m2), normal BMI (18.5-24.9 kg/m2), and high BMI (≥25.0 kg/m2). The incidence of surgical infection among the three groups was compared. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to determine the independent risk factors associated with surgical infection. Results: A total of 371 patients were enrolled, including 283 patients (76.3%) in the normal BMI group, 30 patients (8.1%) in the low BMI group, and 58 patients (15.6%) in the high BMI group. The incidence of surgical infection was significantly higher in the patients in the low BMI and high BMI groups than in the normal BMI group. The multivariable logistic regression model showed that low BMI and high BMI were independently associated with the occurrence of surgical infection. Conclusions: The pCCA patients with a normal BMI treated with curative resection could have a lower risk of surgical infection than pCCA patients with an abnormal BMI.

Abstract
The main cause of distal biliary malignant obstructive jaundice (DBMOJ) is the stricture of the extrahepatic biliary tract by malignant tumors, including pancreatic head and uncinate process cancer, low-grade cholangiocarcinoma, duodenal cancer, papillary duodenal cancer and other malignant tumors. The most effective treatment is radical pancreaticoduodenectomy. However, preoperative obstructive jaundice can affect the patient's liver function and blood coagulation function, increase local inflammation and oedema, and make surgery more difficult. Patients with severe obstructive jaundice require preoperative biliary drainage, which can be achieved by various methods, including ultrasound endoscopic biliary drainage (EUS-EBD) and endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD). The latter is mainly divided into endoscopic nasobiliary drainage and endoscopic biliary stent. Some patients underwent percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) when ERBD and EUS-EBD failed. In this study, we aimed to identify PTBD in DBMOJ and to further investigate the role of the puncture pathway in DBMOJ. The relationship between PTBD and bile duct internal diameter was confirmed by analysing and collating clinical data. In this study, DBMOJ was grouped according to bile duct internal diameter and liver function was used as an indicator to examine the improvement in liver function with PTBD in patients undergoing DBMOJ. Analysis of puncture complications showed that PTBD puncture was safe. DBMOJ with different bile duct internal diameters had different rates of liver function improvement after PTBD. The right-side approaches had significantly lower alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alanine transaminase (AST) than the left-side approaches. This study showed that PTBD for DBMOJ is associated with a low complication rate and good reduction of jaundice. Liver function recovery was faster in patients with DBMOJ treated with PTBD in the right-sided approach compared with the left-sided approach. PTBD is an effective tool to be used in patients who have failed ERBD and EUS-EBD.

Abstract
Background For patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) undergoing hemi-hepatectomy, there are controversies regarding the requirement of, indications for, and timing of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD). Dynamic three-dimensional volume reconstruction could effectively evaluate the regeneration of liver after surgery, which may provide assistance for exploring indications for PBD and optimal preoperative bilirubin value. The purpose of this study was to explore the indications for PBD and the optimal preoperative bilirubin value to improve prognosis for HC patients undergoing hemi-hepatectomy. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of HC patients who underwent hemi-hepatectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University from 2012 to 2023. The liver regeneration rate was calculated using three-dimensional volume reconstruction. We analyzed the factors affecting the liver regeneration rate and occurrence of postoperative liver insufficiency. Results This study involved 83 patients with HC, which were divided into PBD group (n=36) and non-PBD group (n=47). The preoperative bilirubin level may be an independent risk factor affecting the liver regeneration rate (P=0.014) and postoperative liver insufficiency (P=0.016, odds ratio=1.016, β=0.016, 95% CI=1.003-1.029). For patients whose initial bilirubin level was >200 μmol/L (n=45), PBD resulted in better liver regeneration in the early stage (P=0.006) and reduced the incidence of postoperative liver insufficiency [P=0.012, odds ratio=0.144, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.031-0.657]. The cut-off value of bilirubin was 103.15 μmol/L based on the liver regeneration rate. Patients with a preoperative bilirubin level of ≤103.15 μmol/L shown a better liver regeneration (P<0.01) and lower incidence of postoperative hepatic insufficiency (P=0.011, odds ratio=0.067, 95% CI=0.008-0.537). Conclusion For HC patients undergoing hemi-hepatectomy whose initial bilirubin level is >200 μmol/L, PBD may result in better liver regeneration and reduce the incidence of postoperative liver insufficiency. Preoperative bilirubin levels ≤103.15 μmol/L maybe recommended for leading to a better liver regeneration and lower incidence of postoperative hepatic insufficiency.

The impact of preoperative biliary drainage on postoperative healthcare-associated infections and clinical outcomes following pancreaticoduodenectomy: a ten-year retrospective analysis. BMC Infect Dis 2024; 24:361. [PMID: 38549089 PMCID: PMC10979617 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-024-09246-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/01/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a complex procedure and easily accompanied by healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). This study aimed to assess the impact of PBD on postoperative infections and clinical outcomes in PD patients. METHODS The retrospective cohort study were conducted in a tertiary hospital from January 2013 to December 2022. Clinical and epidemiological data were collected from HAIs surveillance system and analyzed. RESULTS Among 2842 patients who underwent PD, 247 (8.7%) were diagnosed with HAIs, with surgical site infection being the most frequent type (n = 177, 71.7%). A total of 369 pathogenic strains were detected, with Klebsiella pneumoniae having the highest proportion, followed by Enterococcu and Escherichia coli. Although no significant association were observed generally between PBD and postoperative HAIs, subgroup analysis revealed that PBD was associated with postoperative HAIs in patients undergoing robotic PD (aRR = 2.174; 95% CI:1.011-4.674; P = 0.047). Prolonging the interval between PBD and PD could reduce postoperative HAIs in patients with cholangiocarcinoma (≥4 week: aRR = 0.292, 95% CI 0.100-0.853; P = 0.024) and robotic PD (≤2 week: aRR = 3.058, 95% CI 1.178-7.940; P = 0.022). PBD was also found to increase transfer of patients to ICU (aRR = 1.351; 95% CI 1.119-1.632; P = 0.002), extended length of stay (P < 0.001) and postoperative length of stay (P = 0.004). CONCLUSION PBD does not exhibit a significant association with postoperative HAIs or other outcomes. However, the implementation of robotic PD, along with a suitable extension of the interval between PBD and PD, appear to confer advantages concerning patients' physiological recuperation. These observations suggest potential strategies that may contribute to enhanced patient outcomes.

Ye B, Xie J, Xi K, Huang Z, Liao Y, Chen Z, Ji W. The value of a risk model combining specific risk factors for predicting postoperative severe morbidity in biliary tract cancer. Front Oncol 2024; 13:1309724. [PMID: 38375202 PMCID: PMC10876292 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1309724] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Several surgical risk models are widely utilized in general surgery to predict postoperative morbidity. However, no studies have been undertaken to examine the predictive efficacy of these models in biliary tract cancer patients, and other perioperative variables can also influence morbidity. As a result, the study's goal was to examine these models alone, as well as risk models combined with disease-specific factors, in predicting severe complications. Methods A retrospective study of 129 patients was carried out. Data on demographics, surgery, and outcomes were gathered. These model equations were used to determine the morbidity risks. Severe morbidity was defined as the complication comprehensive index ≥ 40. Results Severe morbidity was observed in 25% (32/129) patients. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that four parameters [comprehensive risk score ≥1, T stage, albumin decrease value, and international normalized ratio (INR)] had a significant influence on the probability of major complications. The area under the curve (AUC) of combining the four parameters was assessed as having strong predictive value and was superior to the Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress System (E-PASS) alone (the AUC value was 0.858 vs. 0.724, p = 0.0375). The AUC for the modified E-PASS (mE-PASS) and Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the Enumeration of Mortality and Morbidity (POSSUM) in patients over the age of 70 was classified as no predictive value (p = 0.217 and p = 0.063, respectively). Conclusion The mE-PASS and POSSUM models are ineffective in predicting postoperative morbidity in patients above the age of 70. In biliary tract cancer (BTC) patients undergoing radical operation, a combination of E-PASS and perioperative parameters generates a reasonable prediction value for severe complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While resection remains the only curative option for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, it is well known that such surgery is associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Nevertheless, beyond facing life-threatening complications, patients may also develop early disease recurrence, defining a "futile" outcome in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma surgery. The aim of this study is to predict the high-risk category (futile group) where surgical benefits are reversed and alternative treatments may be considered. METHODS The study cohort included prospectively maintained data from 27 Western tertiary referral centers: the population was divided into a development and a validation cohort. The Framingham Heart Study methodology was used to develop a preoperative scoring system predicting the "futile" outcome. RESULTS A total of 2271 cases were analyzed: among them, 309 were classified within the "futile group" (13.6%). American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score ≥ 3 (OR 1.60; p = 0.005), bilirubin at diagnosis ≥50 mmol/L (OR 1.50; p = 0.025), Ca 19-9 ≥ 100 U/mL (OR 1.73; p = 0.013), preoperative cholangitis (OR 1.75; p = 0.002), portal vein involvement (OR 1.61; p = 0.020), tumor diameter ≥3 cm (OR 1.76; p < 0.001), and left-sided resection (OR 2.00; p < 0.001) were identified as independent predictors of futility. The point system developed, defined three (ie, low, intermediate, and high) risk classes, which showed good accuracy (AUC 0.755) when tested on the validation cohort. CONCLUSIONS The possibility to accurately estimate, through a point system, the risk of severe postoperative morbidity and early recurrence, could be helpful in defining the best management strategy (surgery vs. nonsurgical treatments) according to preoperative features.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is a heterogeneous group of malignancies that originates at any point along the biliary tree. CC is an uncommon malignancy as it represents approximately 3% of all gastrointestinal malignancies, though its global incidence is rising. CC can often be asymptomatic in its early stages and as a result, it is frequently diagnosed in later stages, leading to challenges in clinical management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major surgery, along with preoperative cholestasis-related complications, are responsible for the increased risk of morbidity and mortality in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA). The aim of the present survey is to provide a snapshot of current preoperative management and optimization strategies in Europe. METHODS 61 European centers, experienced in hepato-biliary surgery completed a 59-questions survey regarding pCCA preoperative management. Centers were stratified according to surgical caseload (<5 and ≥ 5 cases/year) and preoperative management protocols' application. RESULTS The overall case volume consisted of 6333 patients. Multidisciplinary discussion was routinely performed in 91.8% of centers. Most respondents (96.7%) recognized the importance of a well-structured preoperative protocol. The preferred method for biliary drainage was percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (60.7%) while portal vein embolization was the preferred technique for liver hypertrophy (90.2%). Differences in preoperative pathologic confirmation of malignancy (35.8% vs 28.7%; p < 0.001), number of mismanaged referred patients (88.2% vs 50.8%; p < 0.001), biliary drainage (65.1% vs 55.6%; p = 0.015) and liver function evaluation (37.2% vs 5.6%; p = 0.001) were found between centers according to groups' stratification. CONCLUSION The importance of a correct preoperative management is recognized. Nevertheless, the current lack of guidelines leads to wide heterogeneity of behaviors among centers. This survey can provide recommendations to improve pCCA perioperative outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality after liver surgery. Standardized assessment of preoperative liver function is crucial to identify patients at risk. These European consensus guidelines provide guidance for preoperative patient assessment. METHODS A modified Delphi approach was used to achieve consensus. The expert panel consisted of hepatobiliary surgeons, radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, and hepatologists. The guideline process was supervised by a methodologist and reviewed by a patient representative. A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, the Cochrane library, and the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry. Evidence assessment and statement development followed Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network methodology. RESULTS Based on 271 publications covering 4 key areas, 21 statements (at least 85 per cent agreement) were produced (median level of evidence 2- to 2+). Only a few systematic reviews (2++) and one RCT (1+) were identified. Preoperative liver function assessment should be considered before complex resections, and in patients with suspected or known underlying liver disease, or chemotherapy-associated or drug-induced liver injury. Clinical assessment and blood-based scores reflecting liver function or portal hypertension (for example albumin/bilirubin, platelet count) aid in identifying risk of PHLF. Volumetry of the future liver remnant represents the foundation for assessment, and can be combined with indocyanine green clearance or LiMAx® according to local expertise and availability. Functional MRI and liver scintigraphy are alternatives, combining FLR volume and function in one examination. CONCLUSION These guidelines reflect established methods to assess preoperative liver function and PHLF risk, and have uncovered evidence gaps of interest for future research.

Predictors and Prognostic Significance of Postoperative Complications for Patients with Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma. World J Surg 2023; 47:1792-1800. [PMID: 37010541 DOI: 10.1007/s00268-023-06974-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 04/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic impact of major postoperative complications (POCs) for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains ill-defined. We sought to analyze the relationship between POCs and outcomes relative to lymph node metastases (LNM) and tumor burden score (TBS). METHODS Patients who underwent resection of ICC between 1990-2020 were included from an international database. POCs were defined according to Clavien-Dindo classification ≥ 3. The prognostic impact of POCs was estimated relative to TBS categories (i.e., high and low) and lymph node status (i.e., N0 or N1). RESULTS Among 553 patients who underwent curative-intent resection for ICC, 128 (23.1%) individuals experienced POCs. Low TBS/N0 patients who experienced POCs presented with a higher risk of recurrence and death (3-year cumulative recurrence rate; POCs: 74.8% vs. no POCs: 43.5%, p = 0.006; 5-year overall survival [OS], POCs 37.8% vs. no POCs 65.8%, p = 0.003), while POCs were not associated with worse outcomes among high TBS and/or N1 patients. The Cox regression analysis confirmed that POCs were significant predictors of poor outcomes in low TBS/N0 patients (OS, hazard ratio [HR] 2.91, 95%CI 1.45-5.82, p = 0.003; recurrence free survival [RFS], HR 2.42, 95%CI 1.28-4.56, p = 0.007). Among low TBS/N0 patients, POCs were associated with early recurrence (within 2 years) (Odds ratio [OR] 2.79 95%CI 1.13-6.93, p = 0.03) and extrahepatic recurrence (OR 3.13, 95%CI 1.14-8.54, p = 0.03), in contrast to patients with high TBS and/or nodal disease. CONCLUSIONS POCs were independent, negative prognostic determinants for both OS and RFS among low TBS/N0 patients. Perioperative strategies that minimize the risk of POCs are critical to improving prognosis, especially among patients harboring favorable clinicopathologic features.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the impact of cholangitis on survival of patients with gastrointestinal cancer and malignant biliary obstruction treated with percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD). METHODS A retrospective registry study was performed at a tertiary center from 2000 to 2016 in Northern Finland. RESULTS The study included 588 patients, 258 (43.9%) patients with pancreatic cancer, 222 (37.7%) with biliary tract cancer, and 108 (18.4%) with metastasis from gastrointestinal cancers. Patient mean age was 70 years, range 26 - 93 years. There were 288 [49.0%] women. The 30-day mortality rate was 30.8% for 156 patients with cholangitis before PTBD, 19.5% for 215 patients with cholangitis after PTBD and 25.8% for 217 patients without cholangitis (P = 0.039). The median survival was 1.8 months for patients with cholangitis before PTBD, 3.0 months for patients with cholangitis after PTBD, and 3.2 months for patients without cholangitis (P = 0.002). The hazard ratio (HR) for 1-year mortality for patients with cholangitis before PTBD was 1.3 (95% CI 1.06 - 1.67, P = 0.015) compared to patients with cholangitis after PTBD. After successful PTBD, 54 out of 291 patients received chemotherapy; the median survival was 5.2 months with cholangitis before PTBD, 9.4 months with cholangitis after PTBD and 15.3 months without cholangitis. CONCLUSION In gastrointestinal cancers with malignant biliary obstruction, survival is poorer if cholangitis occurs before PTBD compared to cholangitis after PTBD. An oncologist's consultation is essential for assessing the possibility of chemotherapy in successfully treated PTBD patients, because of the notable survival benefit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The DRAINAGE trial was a randomized controlled trial comparing preoperative endoscopic (EBD) and percutaneous biliary drainage (PTBD) in patients with potentially resectable, perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA). The aim of this study was to compare the long-term outcomes. METHODS Patients were randomized in four tertiary referral centers. Follow-up data were available for all included patients. Primary outcome was overall survival (OS). Secondary outcomes were readmissions, and re-interventions not including in-trial interventions. RESULTS A total of 54 patients were randomized; 27 in both groups. Median follow-up for both groups was 62 months (95% CI 54-70). The median OS was 13 months (95% CI 7.9-18.1) in the EBD and 7 months (95% CI 0.0-17.2) in the PTBD group (P = 0.28). Twenty (37%, n = 8 EBD vs n = 12 PTBD, P = 0.43) of 54 patients were readmitted at least once, mostly due to drainage-related complications (n = 13, 24%). Of note, 14 out of the 54 patients died within the trial. A total of 76 drainage procedures (32 EBD and 44 PTBD) were performed in 28 patients. The median number of stent or drain placements was 2 (2-4) for the EBD group and 2 (1-3) for the PTBD group (P = 0.77). DISCUSSION Although this follow-up study represented a small cohort, no long-term differences in survival, readmissions, and drainage procedures for EBD and PTBD were found, even when comparing the resected and unresected group. However, this study demonstrates the complexity of biliary drainage for patients with potentially resectable pCCA, even in tertiary referral centers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The patients with unresectable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma require biliary drainage to relieve symptoms and allow for palliative systemic chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to establish the success, complication, and mortality rates of the initial biliary drainage in patients with unresectable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma at presentation. METHODS In this retrospective multicenter study, patients with unresectable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma who underwent initial endoscopic or percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage between 2002 and 2014 were included. The success of drainage was defined as a successful biliary stent or drain placement, no unscheduled reintervention within 14 days, and serum bilirubin levels <50 μmol/L (ie, 2.9 mg/dL) or a >50% decrease in serum bilirubin after 14 days. Severe complications, and 90-day mortality were recorded. RESULTS Included were 186 patients: 161 (87%) underwent initial endoscopic biliary drainage and 25 (13%) underwent initial percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. The success of initial drainage was observed in 73 patients (45%) after endoscopic biliary drainage and 6 (24%) after percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. The reasons for an unsuccessful initial drainage were: the failure to place a drain or stent in 39 patients (21%), an unplanned reintervention within 14 days in 52 patients (28%), and the bilirubin level >50 μmol/L (or not halved) after 14 days of initial drainage in 16 patients (9%). Severe drainage-related complications occurred in 19 patients (12%) after endoscopic biliary drainage and in 3 (12%) after percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. Overall, 66 patients (36%) died within 90 days after initial biliary drainage. CONCLUSION Initial biliary drainage in patients with unresectable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma had a success rate of 45% and a 90-day mortality rate of 36%. Future studies for patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma should focus on improving biliary drainage.

Abstract
As a consequence of breakthroughs in the area of guidelines research, the therapy for cholangiocarcinoma has significantly improved the efficacy rate of diagnosis and survival outcomes. We compared the most recently updated clinical practice guidelines and consensus to provide recommendations based on the diagnostic and therapeutic equipment available in various countries. Following a systematic review, we discovered that these guidelines and consensus had both similarities and differences in terms of what organizations or groups drafted the guidelines and the approach, applicability, content and recent updates of the guidelines as well as in terms of diagnostic and treatment algorithms. The disparities could be attributable to a variety of etiological factors, high risk patients, health resources, medical technology, treatment options, and income levels. Additionally, while complete adoption of guidelines may benefit physicians, patients, and authorities, there remains a disconnect between expected goals and implementation.

Abstract
Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) is a decompression procedure for malignant proximal biliary obstruction. In this research, over a six-year period, 89 patients underwent PTBD procedure for jaundice caused by malignant disease to restart chemotherapy or for palliative intent. Clinical outcomes after PTBD procedure in the two groups of patients, according to the adequate bilirubin decline (ABD) needed for subsequent chemotherapy, are presented in this paper. Survival and logistic regression were plotted and compared using Kaplan−Meier survival multivariate analysis with a long-range test. Results were processed by MEDCALC software. In the series, 58.4% (52/89) of patients were in good performance status (ECOG 0/1), and PTBD was performed with the intention to (re)start chemotherapy. The normalization of the bilirubin level was seen in 23.0% (12/52), but only 15.4% (8/52) received chemotherapy. The median survival time after PTBD was 9 weeks. In patients with ABD that received chemotherapy, the median survival time was 64 weeks, with 30-day mortality of 27.7%, and 6.4% of death within 7 days. The best outcome was in patients with good performance status (ECOG 0−1), low bilirubin (<120 µmol/L) and LDH (<300 µmol/L) levels and elevated leukocytes at the time of the procedures. PTBD is considered in ABD patients who are candidates for chemotherapy.

Abstract
Endoscopic management for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHCC) is evolving toward more accurate diagnosis and safer drainage. In imaging, it is important to diagnose the entire lesion using multidetector-row computed tomography to determine resectability and optimal surgical planning, followed by local diagnosis using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Video peroral cholangioscopy and probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy have been newly introduced as diagnostic imaging methods and are being applied clinically. In transpapillary forceps biopsy for PHCC diagnosis, the location in the bile duct (for mapping biopsy) and the number of biopsy samples should be determined depending on resectability, the morphological type, and future surgical planning. Preoperative drainage has shifted from percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage to endoscopic nasobiliary drainage given the possibility of seeding metastasis. In addition, considering potential patient discomfort from a nasal tube, the usefulness of the placement of a plastic stent above the papilla (inside stent) as a bridging therapy for surgery has been reported. For drainage of unresectable PHCC, the improved prognosis due to advances in chemotherapy has necessitated a strategy that accounts for reintervention. Thus, in addition to uncovered self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS), exchangeable slim fully covered SEMS and inside stents have started to be used. In addition to the conventional transpapillary approach, an endoscopic ultrasonography-guided approach has been introduced, and a combination of both methods has also been proposed. To improve the quality of life and prognosis of PHCC patients, endoscopists need to understand and be able to use the various methods of endoscopic management for PHCC.

Abstract
Background Hepatopancreaticoduodenectomy (HPD) is one of the most complex procedures, and it is very rarely reported. Laparoscopic HPD (LHPD) is even rarer. To date, there are only 3 reports of LHPD for locally advanced gallbladder cancer (GBC) or extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ECC). This is the first report of LHPD for synchronous GBC and ECC. Case presentation A 75-year-old female patient complained of jaundice for 2 weeks without fever or abdominal pain. She was diagnosed with synchronous GBC and ECC. After a comprehensive preparation, she underwent a laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy and resection of hepatic segments of IVb and V, and her digestive tract reconstruction followed Child’s methods. She was discharged on the 12th day postoperatively without pancreatic leakage, biliary leakage, or liver failure. Conclusions LHPD is safe and feasible for selected cases of GBCs or ECCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) followed by portal vein embolization (PVE) has increased the chance of resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (CCC). We aim to identify the optimal timing of PVE after PBD in patients undergoing hepatectomy for hilar CCC. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 64 patients who underwent hepatectomy after PBD and PVE for hilar CCC. The patients were classified into 3 groups: Group 1 (PBD-PVE interval ≤7 days), Group2 (8-14 days) and Group 3 (>14 days). The primary end points were 90 days mortality and grade B/C posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). RESULTS There was no significant difference in primary end points between three groups. A marginally significant difference was found in the incidence of Clavien-Dindo grade ≥3 complications and wound infection (57.1% vs 38.1% vs 72.4%, p = 0.053 and 21.4% vs 38.1% vs 55.2%, p = 0.099). In multivariable analysis, Bismuth type IIIb or IV was independent risk factors for grade B/C PHLF (HR: 4.782, 95% CI 1.365-16.759, p = 0.014). CONCLUSIONS Considering that the PBD-PVE interval did not affect PHLF, and the surgical complications increased as the interval increases, PVE as early as possible after PBD would be beneficial.

Current Perspectives on the Surgical Management of Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14092208.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) represents nearly 15% of all primary liver cancers and 2% of all cancer-related deaths worldwide. Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) accounts for 50-60% of all CCA. First described in 1965, pCCAs arise between the second-order bile ducts and the insertion of the cystic duct into the common bile duct. CCA typically has an insidious onset and commonly presents with advanced, unresectable disease. Complete surgical resection is technically challenging, as tumor proximity to the structures of the central liver often necessitates an extended hepatectomy to achieve negative margins. Intraoperative frozen section can aid in assuring negative margins and complete resection. Portal lymphadenectomy provides important prognostic and staging information. In specialized centers, vascular resection and reconstruction can be performed to achieve negative margins in appropriately selected patients. In addition, minimally invasive surgical techniques (e.g., robotic surgery) are safe, feasible, and provide equivalent short-term oncologic outcomes. Neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy followed by liver transplantation provides a potentially curative option for patients with unresectable disease. New trials are needed to investigate novel chemotherapies, immunotherapies, and targeted therapies to better control systemic disease in the adjuvant setting and, potentially, downstage disease in the neoadjuvant setting.

Abstract
Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is a rare hepatobiliary malignancy that requires thoughtful, multidisciplinary evaluation in the preoperative setting to ensure optimal patient outcomes. Comprehensive preoperative imaging, including multiphase CT angiography and some form of cholangiographic assessment, is key to assessing resectability. While many staging systems exist, the Blumgart staging system provides the most useful combination of resectability assessment and prognostic information for use in the preoperative setting. Once resectability is confirmed, volumetric analysis should be performed. Upfront resection without biliary drainage or portal venous embolization may be considered in patients without cholangitis and an estimated functional liver remnant (FLR) > 40%. In patients with FLR < 40%, judicious use of biliary drainage is advised, with the goal of selective biliary drainage of the functional liver remnant. Percutaneous biliary drainage may avoid inadvertent contamination of the contralateral biliary tree and associated infectious complications, though the relative effectiveness of percutaneous and endoscopic techniques is an ongoing area of study and debate. Patients with low FLR also require intervention to induce hypertrophy, most commonly portal venous embolization, in an effort to reduce the rate of postoperative liver failure. Even with extensive preoperative workup, many patients will be found to have metastatic disease at exploration and diagnostic laparoscopy may reduce the rate of non-therapeutic laparotomy. Management of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma continues to evolve, with ongoing efforts to improve preoperative liver hypertrophy and to further define the role of transplantation in disease management.

Abstract
To investigate the risk factors and clinical impacts of the occurrence of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from drainage fluid in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Clinicopathological data of all patients who underwent PD from January 2018 to March 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for the occurrence of K. pneumoniae in drainage fluid and its clinical impacts on postoperative complications. Of the included 284 patients, 49 (17.2%) patients isolated K. pneumoniae in drain samples after PD. Preoperative biliary drainage (OR = 1.962, p = 0.037) independently predicted the contamination of K. pneumoniae in drain samples after PD. The rate of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF), major complications (Clavien–Dindo Grade ≥ III), post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH), organ/space surgical site infection (SSI), and biliary leakage (BL) were significantly higher in K. pneumoniae positive group both in the univariate and multivariate analyses. Preventive measures and treatments for combating K. pneumoniae contamination may be beneficial to the perioperative outcomes of patients after PD.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma accounts for approximately 10% of all hepatobiliary tumors and represents 3% of all new-diagnosed malignancies worldwide. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (i-CCA) accounts for 10% of all cases, perihilar (h-CCA) cholangiocarcinoma represents two-thirds of the cases, while distal cholangiocarcinoma accounts for the remaining quarter. Originally described by Klatskin in 1965, h-CCA represents one of the most challenging tumors for hepatobiliary surgeons, mainly because of the anatomical vascular relationships of the biliary confluence at the hepatic hilum. Surgery is the only curative option, with the goal of a radical, margin-negative (R0) tumor resection. Continuous efforts have been made by hepatobiliary surgeons in order to achieve R0 resections, leading to the progressive development of aggressive approaches that include extended hepatectomies, associating liver partition, and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy, pre-operative portal vein embolization, and vascular resections. i-CCA is an aggressive biliary cancer that arises from the biliary epithelium proximal to the second-degree bile ducts. The incidence of i-CCA is dramatically increasing worldwide, and surgical resection is the only potentially curative therapy. An aggressive surgical approach, including extended liver resection and vascular reconstruction, and a greater application of systemic therapy and locoregional treatments could lead to an increase in the resection rate and the overall survival in selected i-CCA patients. Improvements achieved over the last two decades and the encouraging results recently reported have led to liver transplantation now being considered an appropriate indication for CCA patients.

Abstract
Введение. Метод выбора дренирования желчных протоков у пациентов с дистальной злокачественной механической желтухой (ДЗМЖ) остается дискуссионным.Цель. Разработать и внедрить в клиническую практику методику наружно-внутреннего билиарно-еюнального дренирования и сравнить ее результаты с ретроградным эндоскопическим стентированием при паллиативном лечении дистальной механической желтухи.Материалы и методы. В проспективное исследование вошло 54 пациента с ДЗМЖ: 29 пациентам выполнена разработанная методика наружно-внутреннего билиарно-еюнального дренирования (группа НВБЕД); 25 – эндоскопическое ретроградное билиарное стентирование (группа ЭРБС) с использованием непокрытых металлических стентов. НВБЕД проводилась с использованием предложенного дренажа, устанавливаемого посредством чрескожного чреспеченочного доступа, при этом конец дренажа с дистальной группой боковых отверстий размещался в начальных петлях еюнум, проксимальная группа боковых отверстий – в расширенных желчных протоках над стенозом.Точками исследования были клинический успех процедуры, частота и характер осложнений, накопленная выживаемость, накопленное время проходимости стента.Результаты. Клинический успех процедуры достигнут в группе НВБЕД у 82,1% пациентов, в группе ЭРБС – у 84,0% (р>0,05).В группе НВБЕД осложнения возникли у 5 (17,9%) пациентов, в группе ЭРБС – у 16 (64,0%) (р=0,002), в том числе холангит – у 10,3% против 36,0% (р=0,024) и панкреатит у 6,9%, против 36,0% (р=0,023) соответственно.При использовании НВБЕД накопленное выживание составило 252,3 дня (95% ДИ: 207,5–297,1) против 203,3 дня (95% ДИ: 164,5–242,1) в группе ЭРБС (р=0,072). Это мы связываем со снижением частоты холангита в группе НВБЕД. В целом накопленное выживание составило 248,9 дня (95% ДИ: 212,2–285,5) при отсутствии у пациентов эпизодов холангита против 168,8 дня (95% ДИ: 132,3–205,4) при наличии холангита (р=0,005).У пациентов с холангитом накопленное время проходимости стентов составляло 157,1 дня (95% ДИ: 132,1–182,1), при отсутствии холангита – 269,6 дня (95% ДИ: 230,3–309,0), р=0,005. У пациентов с НВБЕД закупорки просвета дренажа не наблюдали.Заключение. Предложенная методика наружно-внутреннего билиарно-еюнального дренирования при паллиативном лечении дистальной механической желтухи предпочтительнее эндоскопического ретроградного билиарного стентирования.
Introduction. The choice of bile duct drainage in patients with distal malignant obstructive jaundice (DMOJ) remains controversial.Purpose. To develop and introduce into clinical practice a technique for external-internal biliary- jejunal drainage and compare its results with retrograde endoscopic stenting in palliative treatment of DMOJ.Materials and methods. The prospective study included 54 patients with DMOJ: 29 patients underwent the developed method of external-internal biliary-jejunal drainage (NVBED group); 25 – endoscopic retrograde biliary stenting (ERPS group) using metal stents. NVBED was carried out using the proposed drainage installed by means of a percutaneous transhepatic approach, while the end of the drainage with the distal group of lateral holes was located in the initial loops of the jejunum, the proximal group of lateral holes – in the dilated bile ducts above the stenosis.The points of the study were the clinical success of the procedure, frequency and nature of complications, accumulated survival rate, accumulated time of stent patency.Results. Clinical success of the procedure was achieved in 82.1% of patients in the NVBED group, and 84.0% of patients in the ERHD group, p>0.05.In the IVBED group, complications occurred in 5 (17.9%) patients, in the ERHD group – in 16 (64.0%) patients, p=0.002, including cholangitis – in 10.3% versus 36.0% (p=0.024) and pancreatitis – in 6.9% versus 36.0% (p=0.023), respectively.When using NVBED, the cumulative survival was 252.3 days (95% CI: 207.5–297.1) versus 203.3 days (95% CI: 164.5–242.1) in the ERBS group (p=0.072). We associate this with the decrease of the incidence of cholangitis in the IVBED group. Thus, the overall cumulative survival was 248.9 days (95% CI: 212.2–285.5) in the absence of cholangitis episodes versus 168.8 days (95% CI: 132.3–205.4) in the presence of cholangitis, p=0.005.In patients with cholangitis, the cumulative time of stent patency was 157.1 days (95% CI: 132.1– 182.1); in the absence of cholangitis – 269.6 days (95% CI: 230.3–309.0, p=0.005. In patients with NVBED, the drainage lumen blockage was not observed.Conclusion. The proposed method of external-internal biliary-jejunal drainage for palliative treatment of distal obstructive jaundice is preferable in comparison with endoscopic retrograde biliary stenting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ) is a common condition caused by several primary and secondary cancers. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate technical success rate and safety of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) versus endoscopic biliary drainage (EBD) in MOJ. MATERIALS AND METHODS Relevant trials were identified by searching electronic databases and conference meetings. We included thirteen retrospective studies and four randomized controlled trials, with PTBD performed in 2353 patients and EBD in 8178 patients. Outcomes of interest included: technical success rate, overall complications, 30-day mortality rate and risk of bleeding, pancreatitis, cholangitis and tube dislocation. RESULTS The differences in technical success rate, total complications, 30-day mortality rate and tube dislocation were not statistically significant between the two groups. Patients receiving PTBD showed a lower risk of pancreatitis (OR=0.14, 95%CI=0.06-0.31) and cholangitis (OR=0.52, 95%CI=0.30-0.90) when compared to EBD while PTBD was associated with higher risk of bleeding (OR=1.78; 95%CI=1.32-2.39). CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis indicates the presence of some advantages and limits for both PTBD and EBD. We highlight the paucity of quality-of-life data, a vital element which should be carefully pondered in future studies and in choosing the optimal technique in patients with MOJ.

Abstract
Hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) is a rare and highly aggressive biliary tract neoplasm. As such, the data driving the management of this disease generally are not based on prospective clinical trial data but rather consist of retrospective experiences and limited level 1 data. Surgical resection offers the best chance of a long-term survival, but local and distant recurrences are common. This report presents landmark articles that form the basis of preoperative, operative, and adjuvant strategies for HC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) in ampulla of Vater (AoV) cancer is indiscriminately performed without logical backgrounds. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of PBD on short and long-term outcomes in AoV cancer. METHODS 313 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy and were pathologically diagnosed as AoV cancer between January 2000 and December 2014 were reviewed. RESULTS 167 patients (53.4%) underwent PBD: Endoscopic drainage was performed in 106 patients (33.9%) and percutaneous drainage in 61 (19.5%). The postoperative complication rate of PBD group was significantly higher than that of upfront surgery group (48.5% vs. 38.4%, p = 0.045). The 5-year disease-free survival rate (5Y-DFSR) was significantly lower in PBD group compared to upfront surgery group (53.8% vs. 74.3%, p < 0.001). Worse 5Y-DFSR of PBD group was more evident in T1/T2 stage (59.2% vs. 84.1%, p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis with T1/T2 staged patients, PBD was independently associated with worse outcome (hazard ratio 2.145 [95% confidence interval, 1.202-3.826], p = 0.010). CONCLUSION For T1/T2 AoV cancer, PBD adversely affected the short-term postoperative complication rate as well as the long-term oncologic outcomes. Therefore, especially in patients with T1/T2 AoV cancer, routine practice of PBD should be refrained and be reserved for selected cases such as cholangitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to analyze the outcomes of patients who have undergone laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) in China. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA LPD is being increasingly used worldwide, but an extensive, detailed, systematic, multicenter analysis of the procedure has not been performed. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 1029 consecutive patients who had undergone LPD between January 2010 and August 2016 in China. Univariate and multivariate analyses of patient demographics, changes in outcome over time, technical learning curves, and the relationship between hospital or surgeon volume and patient outcomes were performed. RESULTS Among the 1029 patients, 61 (5.93%) required conversion to laparotomy. The median operation time (OT) was 441.34 minutes, and the major complications occurred in 511 patients (49.66%). There were 21 deaths (2.43%) within 30 days, and a total of 61 (5.93%) within 90 days. Discounting the effects of the early learning phase, critical parameters improved significantly with surgeons' experience with the procedure. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that the pancreatic anastomosis technique, preoperative biliary drainage method, and total bilirubin were linked to several outcome measures, including OT, estimated intraoperative blood loss, and mortality. Multicenter analyses of the learning curve revealed 3 phases, with proficiency thresholds at 40 and 104 cases. Higher hospital, department, and surgeon volume, as well as surgeon experience with minimally invasive surgery, were associated with a lower risk of surgical failure. CONCLUSIONS LPD is technically safe and feasible, with acceptable rates of morbidity and mortality. Nonetheless, long learning curves, low-volume hospitals, and surgical inexperience are associated with higher rates of complications and mortality.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy following endoscopic ultrasound-guided choledochoduodenostomy with electrocautery-enhanced lumen-apposing stents an ACHBT - SFED study. HPB (Oxford) 2021; 23:154-160. [PMID: 32646808 DOI: 10.1016/j.hpb.2020.06.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2020] [Revised: 05/30/2020] [Accepted: 06/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND After ERCP failure or if ERCP is declined for preoperative biliary drainage before pancreaticoduodenectomy, endoscopic ultrasound-guided choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS) with electrocautery-enhanced lumen-apposing stents (ECE-LAMS) might be needed. The aim of the present study was to assess the technical feasibility and short-term outcomes of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) following endoscopic ultrasound-guided choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS) with electrocautery-enhanced lumen-apposing stents (ECE-LAMS). METHODS A retrospective study of all EUS-CDS procedures with ECE-LAMS followed by PD performed in France since the availability of the device in 2016. RESULTS 21 patients underwent PD in 9 departments of surgery following EUS-CDS with ECE-LAMS. The median bilirubin level at endoscopic procedure was 292 μmol/L. A 6 mm diameter stent was used in 20 cases. No complications occurred during the procedure. During the waiting time, 1 patient had an acute pancreatitis post ERCP and 3 patients developed cholangitis, treated by either an additional percutaneous biliary drainage, or an endoscopic procedure to extract a bezoar occluding the stent, or antibiotics, respectively. PD with a curative intent was performed in all cases. Overall, postoperative mortality was nil and postoperative morbidity occurred in 17 patients (81%), including 3 with severe complications (14%). No patient developed postoperative biliary fistula. In the 21 patients followed at least 6 months, no biliary complications occurred, and no tumor recurrence developed on the hepaticojejunostomy/hepatic pedicle. CONCLUSION Pancreaticoduodenectomy following EUS-CDS with ECE-LAMS is technically feasible with acceptable short-term postoperative outcome, including healing of biliary anastomosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Japanese Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery launched the clinical practice guidelines for the management of biliary tract cancers (cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder cancer, and ampullary cancer) in 2007, then published the 2nd version in 2014. METHODS In this 3rd version, clinical questions (CQs) were proposed on six topics. The recommendation, grade for recommendation, and statement for each CQ were discussed and finalized by an evidence-based approach. Recommendations were graded as Grade 1 (strong) or Grade 2 (weak) according to the concepts of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system. RESULTS The 31 CQs covered the six topics: (a) prophylactic treatment, (b) diagnosis, (c) biliary drainage, (d) surgical treatment, (e) chemotherapy, and (f) radiation therapy. In the 31 CQs, 14 recommendations were rated strong and 14 recommendations weak. The remaining three CQs had no recommendation. Each CQ includes a statement of how the recommendations were graded. CONCLUSIONS This latest guideline provides recommendations for important clinical aspects based on evidence. Future collaboration with the cancer registry will be key for assessing the guidelines and establishing new evidence.

Abstract
Background Prevention of posthepatectomy liver failure is a prerequisite for improving the postoperative outcome of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. From this perspective, appropriate assessment of future liver remnant (FLR) function and the optimized preparation are mandatory. Summary FLR volume ratio using CT volumetry based on 3-dimensional vascular imaging is the current assessment yardstick and is sufficient for assessing a normal liver. However, in a liver with underling parenchymal disease such as fibrosis or prolonged jaundice, weighing up the degree of liver damage against the FLR volume ratio is necessary to know the real FLR function. For this purpose, the indocyanine green (ICG) clearance test, monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX) test, liver maximum capacity (LiMAX) test, 99mTc-labeled galactosyl human serum albumin (99mTc-GSA) scintigraphy, albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade, and ALPlat (albumin × platelets) criterion are used. After the optimization of FLR function by means of portal vein embolization or associating liver partition and PVL (portal vein ligation) for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS), SPECT scintigraphy with either 99mTc-GSA or 99mTc-mebrofenin compensates for misestimation due to the regional heterogeneity of liver function. The role of preoperative biliary drainage has long been debated, with the associated complications having led to a lack of approval. However, the recent establishment of safety and an improvement in success rates of endoscopic biliary drainage seem to be changing the awareness of the importance of biliary drainage. Key Messages Appropriate selection of an assessment method is of prime importance to predict the FLR function according to the preoperative condition of the liver. Preoperative biliary drainage in patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is gaining support due to the increasing safety and success rate, especially in patients who need optimization of their liver function before hepatectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether biliary drainage should be performed before surgery in jaundiced patients is a topic of debate. Published studies on the effect of preoperative biliary drainage show great discrepancies in their conclusions, and the use of different drainage methods is an important factor. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of preoperative biliary stents (PBS) on postoperative outcomes in patients following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, Science Citation Index Expanded, and the Cochrane database were searched up to October 2019 to identify all published articles related to the topic. A meta-analysis was performed to compare postoperative outcomes in patients with and without PBS. Quality assessment and data extraction from included studies were performed by 2 independent authors. Statistical analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2 software. RESULTS Twenty-seven studies involving 10,445 patients were included in the analysis. Biliary drainage was performed in 5769 patients (PBS group), and the remaining 4676 patients underwent PD directly (direct surgery [DS] group). Overall mortality, severe complications, abdominal hemorrhage, bile leakage, intra-abdominal abscess, and pancreatic fistula were not significantly different between the PBS and DS groups. However, overall morbidity, delayed gastric emptying, and wound infection were significantly higher in the PBS group compared to the DS group. Subgroup analysis indicated that the adverse effect of PBS on postoperative complications was more evident with increased stent proportion. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative biliary stenting increases overall morbidity, delayed gastric emptying, and wound infection rates in patients following PD. Thus, preoperative biliary drainage via stent placement should be avoided in patients waiting for PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Placement of uncovered self-expandable metallic stents (U-SEMSs) of patients with unresectable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (UPHC) is recommended as the treatment of first choice to address bile stasis. The aim of this study was to determine which of the following two endoscopic stents might be the stent of first choice for the treatment of biliary stasis in patients with UPHC: plastic stents (PSs) or U-SEMSs. METHODS U-SEMSs, deployed as a stent-in-stent, were selected as the stents of first choice from 2013 and 2014, while PSs began to be selected as the stents of first choice from 2015 onward. RESULTS The median time to recurrent biliary obstruction were 66 days in the PS group (N = 38) and 105 days in the U-SEMS group (N = 37; P = .04). Emergency endoscopy was necessitated in 76.3% (29/38) of patients of the PS group and 54.1% (20/37) of patients of the U-SEMS group (P = .0434). The success rate of the first reintervention was 96.5% (27/29) in the PS group and 55% (11/20) in the U-SEMS group (P = .0002). Sustainable chemotherapy could be carried out in 55.2% of patients in the PS group and 32.4% of patients in the U-SEMS group (P = .0472). Multivariate analysis identified selection of U-SEMS as the stent of first choice as the only independent factor predictive of successful reintervention (P = .0016, odds ratio = 0.058). However, the stent selection was not an independent factor for feasible chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS Plastic stent placement could enhance the success rate of reintervention in patients with UPHC and might be facilitated by sustainable chemotherapy. However, stent selection might not have an influence on the prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Body mass index (BMI) has been widely used as a prognostic indicator. The association between preoperative BMI and postoperative morbidity in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) has not been proved. This study aimed to identify the association between preoperative BMI and postoperative morbidity following radical resection of HCCA. METHODS Patients were divided into three groups according to preoperative BMI: low BMI (≤18.4 kg/m2 ), normal BMI (18.4-24.9 kg/m2 ), and high BMI (≥24.9 kg/m2 ). Baseline characteristics, operative variables, postoperative 30-day mortality, and morbidity were compared. Risk factors associated with postoperative morbidity were assessed using univariable and multivariable logistic analyses. RESULTS Among 260 patients, 183 (70.4%) had normal BMI, 32 (12.3%) had low BMI, and 45 (17.3%) had high BMI. Compared to the patients with normal-BMI, both low and high BMI patients exhibited a significantly higher postoperative morbidity (87.5% and 82.2% vs 63.9%, P = .019 and P = .025, respectively). Additionally, the multivariable analysis revealed that both low and high BMI patients remained independently associated with an increased risk of postoperative morbidity. (OR: 3.707, 95% CI: 1.080-12.725, P = .037; and OR: 2.858, 95% CI: 1.167-7.002, P = .022, respectively). CONCLUSION BMI is an independent risk factor for higher postoperative morbidity in patients who undergo surgical treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Abstract
Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC) is a rare tumor that requires surgical resection for a potential cure. The role of preoperative biliary drainage has long been debated, given its treatment of biliary sepsis and decompression of the future liver remnant (FLR), but high procedure-specific morbidity. The indications, methods, and outcomes for preoperative biliary drainage are discussed to serve as a guide for perioperative management of patients with resectable PHC. Multiple studies from the literature related to perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, biliary drainage, and management of the FLR were reviewed. Commonly employed preoperative biliary drainage includes endoscopic biliary stenting and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. Drainage of the FLR remains controversial, with most experts recommending drainage of the only in patients with an FLR <50%. Biliary drainage for resectable PHC requires a patient-specific approach with careful determination of the FLR and balancing of potential morbidity with the benefits of drainage.

The effect and safety of preoperative biliary drainage in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma: an updated meta-analysis. World J Surg Oncol 2020; 18:174. [PMID: 32682432 PMCID: PMC7368977 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-020-01904-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2020] [Accepted: 06/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The effect and safety of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) in patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma are still controversial; the aim of our study is to evaluate all aspects of PBD. Methods All included studies featured PBD versus non-PBD (NPBD) groups were from 1996 to 2019 and were extracted from Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, and Science Citation Index Expanded. Results Sixteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in this analysis. PBD may lead to a significantly higher incidence of overall morbidities (OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.53, 0.85; P = 0.0009) and intraoperative transfusions (OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.55, 0.94; P = 0.02); moreover, bile leakage (OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.24, 1.41; P = 0.04), infection (OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.20, 0.47; P < 0.00001), and cholangitis (OR 0.18, 95% CI 0.007, 0.48; P = 0.0007) are also related to PBD. However, NPBD was associated with more frequent hepatic insufficiency (OR 3.09, 95% CI 1.15, 8.31; P = 0.03). In the subgroup meta-analysis, the differences in the outcomes of bile leakage and overall morbidity lost significance between the PBD and NPBD groups when the mean total serum bilirubin (TSB) concentration was above 15 mg/dl. Conclusion Meta-analysis demonstrated that compared to NPBD, PBD is associated with a greater risk of several kinds of infection and morbidities, but its ability to reduce postoperative hepatic insufficiency cannot be ignored. In patients with a high TSB concentration, PBD tends to be a better choice. However, these results need to be confirmed in a future prospective randomized trial with large samples to clarify the effects and find a specific TSB concentration for PBD.

Preoperative Biliary Drainage for Patients with Perihilar Bile Duct Malignancy. J Gastrointest Surg 2020; 24:1630-1638. [PMID: 31197684 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-019-04231-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2018] [Accepted: 04/12/2019] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although endoscopic biliary stenting (EBS) is known to increase preoperative biliary drainage (PBD)-related complications including postoperative surgical site infection (SSI), EBS is still commonly placed before referral to tertiary centers. Whether exchanging EBS with external drainage methods mitigate the risk of SSI is unknown. This study sought to identify EBS-associated risk of recurrent biliary obstruction and postoperative SSI, with particular attention whether it was replaced with external drainage methods before surgery. METHODS From January 2005 to December 2014, 102 consecutive patients with perihilar biliary cancer who underwent PBD followed by hepatobiliary resection were analyzed. RESULTS Among the enrolled patients, 49 (48.0%) underwent total 76 re-interventions due to recurrent biliary obstruction with a median number of 1 (range, 1 to 6). Cholangitis occurred more frequently in patients with EBS (26.9%) than in other methods (P < 0.001). The incidence of postoperative SSI was marginally higher among the patients with EBS at the time of surgery than those with previously placed EBS replaced by the external drainage (72.2% vs 38.5%, P = 0.060). In the multivariate analysis, presence of EBS at the time of surgery remained as an only independent predictor of SSI (95% CI, 1.46-17.32; P = 0.011). CONCLUSIONS The use of EBS increased recurrent biliary obstruction and postoperative SSI particularly when it is present at a time of definitive operation. Our findings support using external drainage such as by endoscopic nasobiliary drainage because of the lower associated incidence of these complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic biliary stenting (EBS) and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) are two techniques used for preoperative biliary drainage prior to hepatobiliary resection. The objectives of this study were to determine predictors of the drainage technique selection and to evaluate the association between drainage technique and postoperative outcomes. METHODS Using ACS NSQIP data (2014-2017), patients who underwent preoperative biliary drainage prior to hepatobiliary resection for malignancy were identified. Separate multivariable-adjusted, propensity score (PS) adjusted, and PS matched logistic regression models were constructed to evaluate the association between drainage technique and postoperative outcomes. RESULTS Of 527 patients identified, 431 (81.8%) received EBS and 96 (18.2%) received PTBD. Patients who underwent PTBD had more preoperative co-morbidities, including higher ASA class, recent weight loss, and hypoalbuminemia (all p < 0.05). After multivariable adjustment, PTBD was significantly associated with 30-day DSM (OR 1.92, 95% CI 1.24-2.97, p = 0.004), overall SSI (OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.10-2.76, p = 0.019), and superficial SSI (OR 2.08, 95% CI 1.20-3.60, p = 0.010). These findings remained significant for both PS-adjusted and PS-matched models. CONCLUSION Patients undergoing hepatobiliary resection selected for PTBD had significantly more preoperative co-morbidities and nutritional deficits. Compared to EBS, PTBD was associated with significantly higher odds of postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Major hepatectomy (MH) is often needed in the curative management of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC) and colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). While similar outcomes could be expected after MH for IHCC and CRLM, outcomes seem worse after MH for IHCC. A better understanding of such differences might help improving perioperative outcomes but comprehensive analysis are lacking. METHODS All patients undergoing curative intent MH for IHCC or CRLM from 2003 to 2009 were included from two dedicated multi-institutional datasets. Preoperative management and short-term outcomes after MH were first compared. Independent predictors of postoperative mortality and morbidity were identified. RESULTS Among 827 patients, 333 and 494 patients underwent MH for IHCC and CRLM, respectively. Preoperative portal vein embolization was more frequently performed in the CRLM group (p < 0.001). MH in the IHCC group required more extended resection (p < 0.001). Postoperative mortality and severe morbidity rates were significantly higher in the IHCC group (7.2% vs. 1.2% and 29.7% vs. 11.1%, p < 0.001, respectively). Main causes for mortality were postoperative liver failure and deep surgical site infection. MH for IHCC was an independent risk factor for mortality (p < 0.001) and severe morbidity (p < 0.001). After propensity score matching (212 patients in each group), the aforementioned differences regarding outcomes remained statistically significant. CONCLUSION This study suggests that IHCC patients are inherently more at risk after MH as compared to CRLM patients. Considering that postoperative liver failure was the most frequent cause of death, preoperative planning might have been inadequate in the setting of IHCC while more complex/extended resections should be expected.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma is an aggressive malignancy of the extrahepatic bile ducts. Hilar lesions are most common. Patients present with obstructive jaundice and intrahepatic bile duct dilation. Cross-sectional imaging reveals local, regional, and distant extent of disease, with direct cholangiography providing tissue for diagnosis. The consensus of a multidisciplinary committee dictates treatment. Resection of the extrahepatic bile duct and ipsilateral hepatic lobe with or without vascular resection and transplantation after neoadjuvant protocol are options for curative treatment. The goal of surgery is to remove the tumor with negative margins. Patients with inoperable tumors or metastatic disease are best served with palliative chemoradiotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although there are many studies on technical outcomes of endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD), no authors reported on preoperative course of patients undergoing ENBD. The aim of this study was to investigate the course of patients with ENBD during the waiting period. METHODS Patients who underwent resection of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHCC) between January 2013 and September 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS During the study period, 191 consecutive patients underwent surgical resection of PHCC after ENBD. Of the study patients, 154 (80.6%) patients were discharged, returned to their home, then re-admitted for surgery. The remaining 37 patients were continuously hospitalized. The number of cholangitis events during the waiting period was 0 in 120 patients, 1 in 59 patients, 2 ≤ in 12 patients. Endoscopic re-intervention was needed in 52 patients. The median length between the first admission and surgery was 37 days (range 12-197 days) in the entire cohort; it was longer in patients with portal vein embolization than in those without (43 vs. 27 days, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing resection of PHCC, ENBD is widely tolerable with relatively low incidence of cholangitis and thus recommended for preoperative biliary drainage.
