Abstract
Background Obesity and associated steatosis is an increasing health problem worldwide. Its influence on post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) and after liver resection (LR) is still unclear. Methods Patients who underwent LR were investigated and divided into three groups [normal weight: body mass index (BMI) 18.5-24.9 kg/m2, overweight: BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m2, obese: BMI ≥30 kg/m2] in this retrospective study. Primary aim of this study was to assess the influence of BMI and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) on PHLF and morbidity. Results Of 888 included patients, 361 (40.7%) had normal weight, 360 (40.5%) were overweight, 167 (18.8%) were obese. Median age was 62.5 years (IQR, 54-69 years). The primary indication for LR was colorectal liver metastases (CLM) (n=366, 41.2%). NASH was present in 58 (16.1%) of normal weight, 84 (23.3%) of overweight and 69 (41.3%) of obese patients (P<0.001). PHLF occurred in 16.3% in normal weight, 15.3% in overweight and 11.4% in obese patients (P=0.32). NASH was not associated with PHLF. There was no association between patients' weight and the occurrence of postoperative complications (P=0.45). At multivariable analysis, solely major LR [odds ratio (OR): 2.7, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.83-4.04; P<0.001] remained a significant predictor for PHLF. Conclusions Postoperative complications and PHLF are comparable in normal weight, overweight and obese patients and LRs using modern techniques can be safely performed in these patients.

Association of Preoperative Body Mass Index with Surgical Textbook Outcomes Following Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Multicenter Study of 1206 Patients. Ann Surg Oncol 2022; 29:10.1245/s10434-022-11721-y.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessment of quality in the perioperative period is critical to ensure good patient care. Textbook outcomes (TO) have been proposed to combine several parameters into a single defined quality metric. The association of preoperative body mass index (BMI) with incidences of achieving or not achieving TO (non-TO) among patients undergoing hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was characterized. METHODS Patients who underwent curative-intent hepatectomy for HCC between 2015 and 2018 were identified from a multicenter database. These patients were divided into three groups based on preoperative BMI: low-BMI (≤ 18.4 kg/m2), normal-BMI (18.5-24.9 kg/m2), and high-BMI (≥ 25.0 kg/m2). The incidences of non-TO among these three groups were compared. Multivariate analyses were performed to identify whether there was any independent association between preoperative BMI and non-TO. RESULTS Among 1206 patients, 100 (8.3%), 660 (54.7%), and 446 (37.0%) were in the low-BMI, normal-BMI, and high-BMI groups, respectively. The incidence of non-TO was 65.6% in the whole cohort. The incidence of non-TO was significantly higher among patients in the low- and high-BMI cohorts versus the normal-BMI cohort (75.0% and 74.7% versus 58.0%, both P < 0.01). After adjustment of other confounding factors on multivariate analysis, low-BMI and high-BMI were independently associated with higher incidences of non-TO compared with normal-BMI (OR: 1.98 and 2.27, both P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Two out of three patients did not achieve TO after hepatectomy for HCC. Both preoperative low-BMI and high-BMI were independently associated with lower odds to achieve optimal TO following HCC resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic liver surgery (LLS) is increasingly utilized worldwide due to several potential advantages over open liver surgery. OBJECTIVE Analysis and presentation of the advantages and disadvantages of LLS in comparison to open surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS Analysis of clinically relevant factors of minimally invasive liver surgery in comparison to open liver surgery in the current literature. RESULTS In addition to obvious cosmetic advantages, the current literature shows advantages regarding length of hospital stay and quality of life after LLC. In contrast to major liver resections, parenchyma-preserving resections often appear cost-neutral due a shorter postoperative hospital stay compared to conventional liver resections. In addition to particular personnel requirements, LLS also has technical prerequisites, such as a dedicated intraoperative ultrasound system. Furthermore, contrast-enhanced laparoscopic examinations are possible and ultrasound information can be fused with preoperative imaging. Virtual reality technology and 3‑dimensional printing are currently under investigation to improve the intraoperative anatomical orientation of LLS. CONCLUSION The current literature reveals significant advantages for LLS so that this procedure should be further developed in Germany in order to offer this technique to as many patients as possible.

Factors Associated with Prolonged Recipient Hepatectomy Time During Liver Transplantation: A Single-Centre Experience. World J Surg 2021; 44:3486-3490.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recipient hepatectomy during liver transplantation can be a challenging operation and can increase cold ischaemic time. The aim of this study is to assess factors associated with prolonged recipient hepatectomy. METHODS From 2005 to 2015, 930 patients were submitted to liver transplantation in our hospital. Prolonged hepatectomy time was defined as operative time >180 min (from knife on skin to total hepatectomy). Patients undergoing early liver retransplantation and living donation were excluded. RESULTS A total of 715 patients were included in our study. Median age at transplantation was 53 (18-70) years, and median BMI was 26.2 (16-40). Median hepatectomy time was 131 min. Prolonged hepatectomy time occurred in 89 (12.4%) patients. At univariate analysis, previous decompensated cirrhosis with variceal bleeding and/or ascites, higher BMI and previous abdominal surgery were associated with prolonged operating time. Higher surgeon experience and acute liver failure were associated with shorter hepatectomy time. At multivariate analysis, previous episodes of variceal bleeding (p = 0.027, OR 1.78), BMI > 27 (p = 0.01, OR 1.75), previous abdominal surgery (p = 0.04, OR 1.68) and surgeon experience (p = 0.007, OR 2.04) were independently associated with operating time. Prolonged hepatectomy time was significantly associated with cold and total ischaemic time and intraoperative bleeding (p < 0.001, p = 0.002 and p = 0.002, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Recipient BMI, previous episodes of variceal bleeding, previous abdominal surgery and surgeon experience are independently associated with hepatectomy duration. These factors can be helpful to identify those patients with potentially prolonged hepatectomy time, and therefore, strategies can be put in place to optimize outcomes in this group of patients.

Abstract
Colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) affect over 50 % of all patients with colorectal cancer, which is the second leading cause of cancer in the western world. Resection of CRLM may provide cure and improves survival over chemotherapy alone. However, resectability of CLRM has to be decided in multidisciplinary tumor boards and is based on oncological factors, technical factors and patient factors. The advances of chemotherapy lead to the abolition of contraindications to resection in favor of technical resectability, but somatic mutations and molecular subtyping may improve selection of patients for resection in the future. Technical factors center around anatomy of the lesions, volume of the remnant liver and quality of the liver parenchymal. Multiple strategies have been developed to overcome volume limitations and they are reviewed here. The least investigated topic is how to select the right patients among an elderly and frail patient population for the large variety of technical options specifically for bi-lobar CRLM to keep 90-day mortality as low as possible. The review is an overview over the current state-of-the art and a systematic guide to the topic of resectability of CRLM for both clinicians and patients.
