Abstract
BACKGROUND As digital medicine has exerted profound influences upon diagnosis and treatment of hepatobiliary diseases, our study aims to investigate the accuracy of three-dimensional visualization and evaluation (3DVE) system in assessing the resectability of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (hCCA), and explores its potential clinical value. MATERIALS AND METHODS The discovery cohort, containing 111 patients from April 2013 to December 2019, was retrospectively included to determine resectability according to revised criteria for unresectability of hCCA. 3D visualization models were reconstructed to evaluate resectability parameters including biliary infiltration, vascular involvement, hepatic atrophy and metastasis. Evaluation accuracy were compared between contrast-enhanced CT and 3DVE. Logistic analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors of R0 resection. A new comprehensive 3DVE classification of hCCA based on factors influencing resectability was proposed to investigate its role in predicting R0 resection and prognosis. The main outcomes were also analyzed in cohort validation, including 34 patients from January 2020 to August 2022. RESULTS 3DVE showed an accuracy rate of 91% (95%CI 83.6-95.4%) in preoperatively evaluating hCCA resectability, significantly higher than 81% (95%CI 72.8-87.7%) of that of CT (p = 0.03). By multivariable analysis, hepatic artery involvement in 3DVE was identified an independent risk factor for R1 or R2 resection (OR = 3.5, 95%CI 1.4,8.8, P < 0.01). New 3DVE hCCA classification was valuable in predicting patients' R0 resection rate (p < 0.001) and prognosis (p < 0.0001). The main outcomes were internally validated. CONCLUSIONS 3DVE exhibited a better efficacy in evaluating hCCA resectability, compared with contrast-enhanced CT. Preoperative 3DVE demonstrated hepatic artery involvement was an independent risk factor for the absence of R0 margin. 3DVE classification of hCCA was valuable in clinical practice.

Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims To evaluate surgical outcomes of patients with gallbladder wall thickness (GBWT) > 5 mm. Methods Patients who underwent cholecystectomy were classified into two groups according to their GBWT status (GBWT+ vs. GBWT-). Results Among 1,211 patients who underwent cholecystectomy, GBWT+ was seen in 177 (14.6%). The GBWT+ group was significantly older with more males, higher ASA score, higher alkaline phosphatase level, higher international normalized ratio, and lower albumin level than the GBWT- group. On ultrasound, GBWT+ patients had larger stone size, more pericholecystic fluid, more common bile duct stone, and more biliary pancreatitis. Compared with the GBWT- group, the GBWT+ group had more urgent surgeries (12.4% vs. 3.2%, p = 0.001), higher conversion rate (4.5% vs. 0.3%, p = 0.001), prolonged operative time (67 ± 38 vs. 54 ± 29 min; p = 0.001), more bleeding (3.4% vs. 0.5%, p = 0.002), and more need of drain (21.5% vs. 10.5%, p = 0.001). By multivariate analysis, factors associated with increased length of hospital stay were GBWT+ (HR: 1.97, 95% CI: 1.19-3.25, p = 0.008), urgent surgery (HR: 10.2, 95% CI: 4.07-25.92, p = 0.001), prolonged surgery (HR: 1.01, 95% CI: 1.0-1.02, p = 0.001), and postoperative drain (HR: 11.3, 95% CI: 6.40-20.0, p = 0.001). Conclusions Variables such as GBWT ≥ 5 mm, urgent prolonged operation, and postoperative drains are independent predictors of extended hospital stay. GBWT+ patients are twice likely to stay in hospital for more than 72 hours and more prone to develop complications than GBWT- patients.

Abstract
Bronchobiliary fistula is a rare condition characterized by bile leaking into the bronchial tree causing biliptysis. It may arise from liver infection or as a consequence of resection and thermal ablation of cancer. Currently, there is no consensus about the treatment strategy. Surgery is considered the main therapy by most authors. However, this systematic literature review shows that the success rate of percutaneous treatments may reach 75%. Adding to such evidence, we also report the case of a woman affected by iatrogenic bronchobiliary fistula secondary to liver thermal ablation, successfully treated with percutaneous drainage plus embolization. Summarizing these results, we encourage the percutaneous management of bronchobiliary fistula by providing a 3-step decision-making algorithm, aimed at reducing the need for major surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Self-expandable metal stents (SEMSs) are widely used in patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction. A SEMS that can avoid occlusion as much as possible is desirable. AIMS The aim of this multicenter single-arm prospective study was to assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of a novel fully covered braided SEMS. METHODS We enrolled consecutive patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction between February 2016 and November 2017 at ten tertiary-care medical centers. RESULTS We included 79 patients with a median age of 76 years; 47 (59.5%) patients were men. The technical and clinical success rate was 98.7% and 93.6%, respectively. Recurrent biliary obstruction occurred in 14 patients (17.9%); stent ingrowth, overgrowth, migration, and other occurred in five (6.4%), four (5.1%), four (5.1%), and one (1.3%) patients, respectively. All reinterventions in patients with recurrent biliary obstruction were successful via the transpapillary approach. Adverse events occurred in 15 patients (19.2%); cholangitis, pancreatitis, and others occurred in ten (12.8%), three (3.8%), and two (2.6%) patients, respectively. The stent patency probability at 6 months was 48.5%. Median time to stent patency was 171 days, median time to recurrent biliary obstruction was 536 days, and median survival time was 195 days. CONCLUSIONS We confirmed the utility and safety of a novel fully covered braided SEMS with low axial force and high radial force in patients with malignance biliary obstruction. This novel SEMS is recommended in patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction.
