Abstract
Aims Surgical site infection (SSI) after soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) resection is a serious complication. The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the risk factors for SSI after STS resection, and to develop a nomogram that allows patient-specific risk assessment. Methods A total of 547 patients with STS who underwent tumour resection between 2005 and 2021 were divided into a development cohort and a validation cohort. In the development cohort of 402 patients, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model was used to screen possible risk factors of SSI. To select risk factors and construct the prediction nomogram, multivariate logistic regression was used. The predictive power of the nomogram was evaluated by receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis in the validation cohort of 145 patients. Results LASSO regression analysis selected possible risk factors for SSI, including age, diabetes, operating time, skin graft or flap, resected tumour size, smoking, and radiation therapy. Multivariate analysis revealed that age, diabetes, smoking during the previous year, operating time, and radiation therapy were independent risk factors for SSI. A nomogram was developed based on the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis. In the development cohort, the incidence of SSI was 4.5% in the low-risk group (risk score < 6.89) and 26.6% in the high-risk group (risk score ≥ 6.89; p < 0.001). In the validation cohort, the incidence of SSI was 2.0% in the low-risk group and 15.9% in the high-risk group (p = 0.004). Conclusion Our nomogram will enable surgeons to assess the risk of SSI in patients with STS. In patients with high risk of SSI, frequent monitoring and aggressive interventions should be considered to prevent this.

[PMID: 38589847 PMCID: PMC11003056 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-024-02399-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND High tumor recurrence and dismal survival rates after curative intended resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are still concerning. The primary goal was to assess predictive factors associated with disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in a subset of patients with HCC undergoing hepatic resection (HR). METHODS Between 08/2004-7/2021, HR for HCC was performed in 188 patients at our institution. Data allocation was conducted from a prospectively maintained database. The prognostic impact of clinico-pathological factors on DFS and OS was assessed by using uni- and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Survival curves were generated with the Kaplan Meier method. RESULTS The postoperative 1-, 3- and 5- year overall DFS and OS rates were 77.9%, 49.7%, 41% and 72.7%, 54.7%, 38.8%, respectively. Tumor diameter ≥ 45 mm [HR 1.725; (95% CI 1.091-2.727); p = 0.020], intra-abdominal abscess [HR 3.812; (95% CI 1.859-7.815); p < 0.0001], and preoperative chronic alcohol abuse [HR 1.831; (95% CI 1.102-3.042); p = 0.020] were independently predictive for DFS while diabetes mellitus [HR 1.714; (95% CI 1.147-2.561); p = 0.009), M-Stage [HR 2.656; (95% CI 1.034-6.826); p = 0.042], V-Stage [HR 1.946; (95% CI 1.299-2.915); p = 0.001, Sepsis [HR 10.999; (95% CI 5.167-23.412); p < 0.0001], and ISGLS B/C [HR 2.008; (95% CI 1.273-3.168); p = 0.003] were significant determinants of OS. CONCLUSIONS Despite high postoperative recurrence rates, an acceptable long-term survival in patients after curative HR could be achieved. The Identification of parameters related to OS and DFS improves patient-centered treatment and surveillance strategies.

Minimally Invasive Approach Provides Oncological Benefit in Patients with High Risk of Very Early Recurrence (VER) After Surgery for Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA). Ann Surg Oncol 2024; 31:2557-2567. [PMID: 38165575 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-023-14807-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is jeopardized by significant risk of early recurrence (≤ 6 months). The aim of the present study is to analyze the oncological benefit provided by laparoscopic over open approach for iCCA in patients with high risk of very early recurrence (VER). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 532 liver resections (LR) were performed for iCCA [265 by minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and 267 with open approach, matched through a 1:1 propensity score] and stratified using the postoperative prediction model of VER. Outcomes were compared between open and laparoscopic approaches, specifically evaluating oncological benefit. RESULTS The percentage of patients with high risk of VER was similar (32.7% in the laparoscopic group and 35.3% in the open group, pNS). The number of retrieved nodes as well as the rate and depth of negative resection margins were comparable between laparoscopic and open. The surgery-adjuvant treatment interval was shorter in laparoscopic patients in the overall series, as well in the subgroup of high risk of VER. The rate of patients starting adjuvant treatments within 2 months from surgery was higher in laparoscopic group compared with open group. In VER high-risk group both disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were significantly improved in MIS compared with open group (p = 0.032 and p = 0.026, respectively). CONCLUSIONS In patients with high risk of VER, laparoscopy translates into an advantage in terms of recurrence-free survival, likely related to lower biological impact of surgery, together with a shorter interval between surgery and start of adjuvant treatments, even allowing for a higher number of patients to start adjuvant therapies within 2 months from resection.

Association between Unplanned Conversion and Patient Survival after Laparoscopic Liver Resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Propensity Score Matched Analysis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:1116. [PMID: 38398431 PMCID: PMC10889730 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13041116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Unplanned conversion (UPC) is considered to be a predictor of poor postoperative outcomes. However, the effects of UPC on the survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain controversial. The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes between patients who underwent laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) and those who underwent UPC for HCC. Among 1029 patients with HCC who underwent hepatectomy between 2004 and 2021, 251 were eligible for the study. Of 251 patients who underwent hepatectomy for HCC in PS segments, 29 (26.0%) required UPC, and 222 underwent LLR. After 1:5 PSM, 25 patients were selected for the UPC group and 125 for the LLR group. Blood loss, transfusion rate, hospital stay, and postoperative complication were higher in the UPC group. Regarding oncologic outcomes, although the 5-year overall survival rate was similar in both groups (p = 0.544), the recurrence-free survival rate was lower in the UPC group (p < 0.001). UPC was associated with poor short-term as well as inferior long-term outcomes compared with LLR for HCC in PS segments. Therefore, surgeons must carefully select patients and consider early conversion if unexpected bleeding occurs to maintain safety and oncologic outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of postoperative complications on long-term survival outcomes in patients with bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy. METHODS This retrospective multi-institutional study included 766 bladder cancer patients who underwent radical cystectomy between 2011 and 2017. Patient characteristics, perioperative outcomes, all complications within 90 days after surgery and survival outcomes were collected. Each complication was graded based on the Clavien-Dindo system, and grouped using a standardized grouping method. The Comprehensive Complication Index, which incorporates all complications into a single formula weighted by their severity, was utilized. Overall survival and recurrence-free survival (local, distant or urothelial recurrences) were stratified by Comprehensive Complication Index (high: ≥26.2; low: <26.2). A multivariate model was utilized to identify independent prognostic factors. RESULTS The incidence of any and major complications (≥Clavien-Dindo grade III) was 70 and 24%, respectively. In terms of Comprehensive Complication Index, 34% (261/766) of the patients had ≥26.2. Patients with Comprehensive Complication Index ≥ 26.2 had shorter overall survival (4-year, 59.5 vs. 69.8%, respectively, log-rank test, P = 0.0037) and recurrence free survival (51.9 vs. 60.1%, respectively, P = 0.0234), than those with Comprehensive Complication Index < 26.2. The Cox multivariate model identified the age, performance status, pT-stage, pN-stage and higher CCI (overall survival: HR = 1.35, P = 0.0174, recurrence-free survival: HR = 1.26, P = 0.0443) as independent predictors of both overall survivial and recurrence-free survival. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative complications assessed by Comprehensive Complication Index had adverse effects on long-term survival outcomes. Physicians should be aware that major postoperative complications can adversely affect long-term disease control.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Early detection of severe complications may reduce morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing hepatic resection. Therefore, we prospectively evaluated a panel of inflammatory blood markers for their value in predicting postoperative complications in patients undergoing liver surgery. METHODS A total of 139 patients undergoing liver resections (45 wedge resections, 49 minor resections, and 45 major resections) were prospectively enrolled between August 2017 and December 2018. Leukocytes, CRP, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), thrombocyte-lymphocyte ratio (TLR), bilirubin, INR, and interleukin-6 and -8 (IL-6 and IL-8) were measured in blood drawn preoperatively and on postoperative days 1, 4, and 7. IL-6 and IL-8 were measured using standardized immunoassays approved for in vitro diagnostic use in Germany. ROC curve analysis was used to determine predictive values for the occurrence of severe postoperative complications (CDC ≥ 3). RESULTS For wedge and minor resections, leukocyte counts at day 7 (AUC 0.80 and 0.82, respectively), IL-6 at day 7 (AUC 0.74 and 0.73, respectively), and CRP change (∆CRP) at day 7 (AUC 0.72 and 0.71, respectively) were significant predictors of severe postoperative complications. IL-8 failed in patients undergoing wedge resections, but was a significant predictor of severe complications after minor resections on day 7 (AUC 0.79), had the best predictive value in all patients on days 1, 4, and 7 (AUC 0.72, 0.72, and 0.80, respectively), and was the only marker with a significant predictive value in patients undergoing major liver resections (AUC on day 1: 0.70, day 4: 0.86, and day 7: 0.92). No other marker, especially not CRP, was predictive of severe complications after major liver surgery. CONCLUSION IL-8 is superior to CRP in predicting severe complications in patients undergoing major hepatic resection and should be evaluated as a biomarker for patients undergoing major liver surgery. This is the first paper demonstrating a feasible implementation of IL-8 analysis in a clinical setting.

The liver is a common site for metastatic spread for various primary tumor histologies. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a non-invasive treatment technique with broad patient candidacy for the ablation of tumors in the liver and other organs. SBRT involves focused, high-dose radiation therapy delivered in one to several treatments, resulting in high rates of local control. Use of SBRT for ablation of oligometastatic disease has increased in recent years and emerging prospective data have demonstrated improvements in progression free and overall survival in some settings. When delivering SBRT to liver metastases, clinicians must balance the priorities of delivering ablative tumor dosing while respecting dose constraints to surrounding organs at risk (OARs). Motion management techniques are crucial for meeting dose constraints, ensuring low rates of toxicity, maintaining quality of life, and can allow for dose escalation. Advanced radiotherapy delivery approaches including proton therapy, robotic radiotherapy, and real-time MR-guided radiotherapy may further improve the accuracy of liver SBRT. In this article, we review the rationale for oligometastases ablation, the clinical outcomes with liver SBRT, tumor dose and OAR considerations, and evolving strategies to improve liver SBRT delivery.

Conditional cumulative incidence of postoperative complications stratified by complexity classification for laparoscopic liver resection: Optimization of in-hospital observation. Surgery 2023; 173:422-427. [PMID: 36041926 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2022.07.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Revised: 07/26/2022] [Accepted: 07/30/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal in-hospital observation periods associated with minimal risks of complications and unplanned readmission after laparoscopic liver resection are unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess changes in the risks of postoperative complications over time. METHODS Surgical complexity of laparoscopic liver resection was stratified into grades I (low complexity), II (intermediate), and III (high) using our 3-level complexity classification. The cumulative incidence rate and conditional probability of postoperative complication and risk factors for complication Clavien-Dindo grade ≥II (defined as treatment-requiring complications) were assessed. RESULTS The cumulative incidence of treatment-requiring complications was higher in patients undergoing grade III resection than in patients undergoing grade I resection (32.3% vs 10.4%, P < .001) and grade II resection (32.3% vs 20.7%, P = .019). The conditional probability of postoperative complication stratified by our complexity classification decreased over time and was <10% for patients undergoing grade I resection on postoperative day 1, grade II resection on postoperative day 4, and grade III resection on postoperative day 10. CONCLUSION The conditional cumulative incidence of treatment-requiring complications for patients undergoing laparoscopic liver resection is well stratified based on the 3-level complexity classification. Conditional complication risk analysis stratified by the 3 complexity grades may be useful for optimizing in-hospital observation after laparoscopic liver resection.

Laparoscopic versus open liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma in elderly patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis of propensity score-matched studies. Front Oncol 2022; 12:939877.

Abstract
PurposeLaparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is a widely practiced therapeutic method and holds several advantages over open liver resection (OLR) including less postoperative pain, lower morbidity, and faster recovery. However, the effect of LLR for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in elderly patients remains controversial. Therefore, we aimed to perform the first meta-analysis of propensity score-matched (PSM) studies to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of LLR versus OLR for elderly patients with HCC.MethodsDatabases including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched until April 2022 for eligible studies that compared LLR and OLR for the treatment of HCC in elderly patients. Short-term outcomes include postoperative complications, blood loss, surgical time, and length of hospital stay. Long-term outcomes include overall survival (OS) rate and disease-free survival (DFS) rate at 1, 3, and 5 years.ResultsA total of 12 trials involving 1,861 patients (907 in the LLR group, 954 in the OLR group) were included. Compared with OLR, LLR was associated with lower postoperative complications (OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.39 to 0.62, P < 0.00001, I2 = 0%), less blood loss (MD −285.69, 95% CI −481.72 to −89.65, P = 0.004, I2 = 96%), and shorter hospital stay (MD −7.88, 95% CI −11.38 to −4.37, P < 0.0001, I2 = 96%), whereas operation time (MD 17.33, 95% CI −6.17 to 40.83, P = 0.15, I2 = 92%) was insignificantly different. Furthermore, there were no significant differences for the OS and DFS rates at 1, 3, and 5 years.ConclusionsFor elderly patients with HCC, LLR offers better short-term outcomes including a lower incidence of postoperative complications and shorter hospital stays, with comparable long-term outcomes when compared with the open approach. Our results support the implementation of LLR for the treatment of HCC in elderly patients.Systematic review registrationhttps://inplasy.com/inplasy-2022-4-0156/, identifier INPLASY202240156.

Abstract
Surgical resection continues to be the mainstay treatment for solid cancers even though chemotherapy and immunotherapy have significantly improved patient overall survival and progression-free survival. Numerous studies have shown that surgery induces the dissemination of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and that the resultant inflammatory response promotes occult tumor growth and the metastatic process by forming a supportive tumor microenvironment (TME). Surgery-induced platelet activation is one of the initial responses to a wound and the formation of fibrin clots can provide the scaffold for recruited inflammatory cells. Activated platelets can also shield CTCs to protect them from blood shear forces and promote CTCs evasion of immune destruction. Similarly, neutrophils are recruited to the fibrin clot and enhance cancer metastatic dissemination and progression by forming neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Activated macrophages are also recruited to surgical sites to facilitate the metastatic spread. More importantly, the body's response to surgical insult results in the recruitment and expansion of immunosuppressive cell populations (i.e. myeloid-derived suppressor cells and regulatory T cells) and in the suppression of natural killer (NK) cells that contribute to postoperative cancer recurrence and metastasis. In this review, we seek to provide an overview of the pro-tumorigenic mechanisms resulting from surgery's impact on these cells in the TME. Further understanding of these events will allow for the development of perioperative therapeutic strategies to prevent surgery-associated metastasis.

Analysis of Infectious Complications after Thermal Ablation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma and the Impact on Long-Term Survival. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14215198. [PMID: 36358617 PMCID: PMC9657620 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14215198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2022] [Revised: 10/16/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Although thermal ablation has been widely used in treatments of HCC due to its unique advantages of less trauma, safety, postoperative complications still occur in clinical practice. Infectious complications are the third most common complication. The objective of our retrospective study was to summarize the clinical characteristics of infection after thermal ablation for HCC patients and to explore whether it affects tumor recurrence and overall survival. We enrolled 49 patients who developed postoperative infections and matched the same number of control patients, and we also summarized the clinical features and treatment of mild and severe infections. We found that postoperative infection among patients receiving ultrasound-guided thermal ablation adversely affected tumor progression. Empirical antibiotics and catheterization to reduce pressure inside the lesion should be utilized to minimize symptoms in patients with postoperative infection. Abstract Purpose: This study aims to complete a detailed record of the clinical characteristics and treatment of HCC patients with post-ablation infection and evaluate the infections on recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) among patients receiving ultrasound-guided thermal ablation. Methods: 3117 patients with liver tumors receiving thermal ablation from January 2010 to December 2021 were analyzed. A total of 49 patients with infectious complications after thermal ablation were selected as the infection group. A total of 49 patients without postoperative infection were randomly selected among those who underwent ablation within three days before or after the treatment date of the infection group as the control group. The clinical characteristics of both groups were analyzed by an independent sample t-test and chi-square test. A log-rank test was performed to compare the RFS and OS data. A multivariate Cox regression model was employed to identify prognostic factors influencing RFS and OS. Subgroup analyses of mild and severe infections were conducted to explore the infection-related situation further. Results: Between mild and severe infection groups, there were statistically significant differences in the infection position (p = 0.043), positive rate of body fluid culture (p = 0.002), proportion of catheter drainage (p = 0.017), use of advanced antibiotics (p = 0.006), and outcome (p = 0.00). The Kaplan–Meier survival analysis revealed that postoperative infection was significantly correlated with tumor recurrence (p = 0.028), and severe infection was significantly associated with overall survival (p = 0.049). The cox model showed that postoperative infection was an independent variable for RFS deterioration (HR = 1.724, 95% CI: 1.038–2.862, p = 0.035). Conclusions: Postoperative infection among patients receiving ultrasound-guided thermal ablation adversely affected tumor progression. In addition, empirical antibiotics and catheterization to reduce pressure inside the lesion should be utilized to minimize symptoms in patients with postoperative infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After liver resection, the in-hospital observation periods associated with minimal risks for complications and unplanned readmission remains unclear. This study aimed to assess changes in risks of complications over time. METHODS Surgical complexity of liver resection was stratified into grades I (low complexity), II (intermediate), and III (high). The cumulative incidence rate and risk factors for complication ≥ Clavien-Dindo grade II (defined as treatment-requiring complications) were assessed. RESULTS Of 581 patients, grade I, II, and III resections were performed in 81 (13.9%), 119 (20.5%), and 381 patients (65.6%). Complexity grades (I vs. III, hazard ratio [HR] 0.45, P = 0.007; II vs. III, HR 0.60, P = 0.011) and background liver status (HR 1.76, P = 0.004) were risk factors for treatment-requiring complications. The cumulative incidence rate of treatment-requiring complications was higher after grade III resection than grade I resection (38.1% vs. 16.1%, P < 0.001) or grade II resection (38.1% vs. 25.2%, P = 0.019). Without cirrhosis/chronic hepatitis, the cumulative incidence rate of treatment-requiring complications decreased to less than 10% on postoperative day (POD) 3 after grade I resection, POD 5 after grade II resection, and POD 10 after grade III resection. CONCLUSION Conditional complication risk analysis stratified by surgical complexity may be useful for optimizing in-hospital observation.

Abstract
AIM The prognostic impact of postoperative systemic inflammatory response using an intra/post-operative prognostic scoring system in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) after hepatic resection had never been investigated previously. METHODS In total, 149 patients who underwent hepatic resection for CRLM were analyzed retrospectively. Intra/post-operative prognostic scoring was performed using the postoperative modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) at the first visit, after discharge, or a month after surgery during hospitalization. We investigated the association between clinicopathologic variables and disease-free survival or overall survival by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS The median evaluation period of postoperative mGPS was 30 (26-36) days after hepatectomy. Seventy-one patients (48%) were classified as postoperative day 30 mGPS 1 or 2. In multivariate analysis, an extrahepatic lesion (P = .02), multiple tumors (P = .05), and postoperative day 30 mGPS 1 or 2 (P < .01) were independent and significant predictors of disease-free survival. Moreover, extrahepatic lesion (P = .04), and postoperative day 30 mGPS 1 or 2 (P = .02) were independent and significant predictors for overall survival. Patients with postoperative day 30 mGPS 1 or 2 had significantly more advanced tumors, more invasive surgery, and more chances of infectious postoperative complications than those with postoperative day 30 mGPS 0. CONCLUSION Postoperative systemic inflammatory response, as evidenced by intra/post-operative prognostic scoring system using postoperative day 30 mGPS, was a strong predictor for outcomes in patients who underwent liver resection for CRLM.

Abstract
Objectives: Postoperative complications (PCs) in patients with gastrointestinal cancer (GIC) lead
to reduced lifespan and poor quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate
the correlation between preoperative exercise-related factors, together with other
contributory factors, and the frequency of PCs in patients with GIC. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, three-institution study. We enrolled 299 patients who were
scheduled for elective surgery for GIC (182 men and 117 women; age, 65.7 ± 11.0 years).
PCs were graded using the Clavien–Dindo classification based on the medical records 1
month postoperatively. Exercise-related factors (the skeletal muscle index, the
isometric knee extension torque, and the 6-min walk test [6 MWT] distance) were measured
before surgery. Based on previous studies of factors contributing to complications, data
on age, sex, clinical cancer stage, comorbidities, neoadjuvant therapy, type of surgery,
surgery duration, blood loss, blood transfusion, laboratory data, respiratory function,
body mass index, and visceral fat area were collected. Results: The frequency of PCs was positively correlated with surgery duration (β=0.427) and
C-reactive protein (CRP) level on postoperative day 3 (β=0.189). The 6 MWT was
negatively correlated with the frequency of PCs through CRP level on postoperative day 3
(β=–0.035). This model demonstrated an acceptable fit to the data (goodness-of-fit
index, 0.979; adjusted goodness-of-fit index, 0.936; comparative fit index, 0.944; and
root mean square error of approximation, 0.076). Conclusions: Preoperative walking capacity was correlated with PCs in patients undergoing GIC
surgery. Prevention of PCs in patients with GIC requires the monitoring of both surgical
parameters and postoperative inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to compare the LACE + readmission index to a novel hepatopancreatobiliary readmission risk score (HRRS) in predicting post-operative hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) cancer patient readmissions. METHODS A retrospective review of 104 postoperative HPB cancer patients from January 2017 to July of 2019 was performed. Univariable and multivariable analyses were utilized. RESULTS The LACE + index did not predict 30-day (OR 1.01, 95% CI, 0.97-1.05, p = 0.81, c-statistic = 0.52) or 90-day (OR 1.02, 95% CI, 0.98-1.05, p = 0.43) readmission. Patients readmitted within 30 days had significantly increased HRRS scores compared to those who were not (0 vs 34, p < 0.001). A single unit increase in HRRS corresponded to a 6.5% increased risk of readmission; (OR 1.065, 95% CI, 1.038-1.094, p < 0.0001). HRRS independently predicted 30-day (OR 1.07, 95% CI, 1.04-1.11, p < 0.0001) and 90-day postoperative readmission (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.03-1.08, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS HRRS better predicts postoperative readmissions for HPB surgical patients compared to LACE+. Accurate assessment of postoperative readmission must include readmission scores focused on clinically relevant perioperative parameters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative infectious complications may be associated with a worse long-term prognosis for patients undergoing surgery for a malignant indication. The current study aimed to characterize the impact of postoperative infectious complications on long-term oncologic outcomes among patients undergoing resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS Patients who underwent curative-intent resection for HCC between 2000 and 2017 were identified from an international multi-institutional database. The relationship between postoperative infectious complications, overall survival (OS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) was analyzed. RESULTS Among 734 patients who underwent HCC resection, 269 (36.6%) experienced a postoperative complication (Clavien-Dindo grade 1 or 2 [n = 197, 73.2%] vs grade 3 and 4 [n = 69, 25.7%]). An infectious complication was noted in 81 patients (11.0%) and 188 patients (25.6%) had non-infectious complications. The patients with infectious complications had worse OS (median: infectious complications [46.5 months] vs no complications [106.4 months] [p < 0.001] and non-infectious complications [85.7 months] [p < 0.05]) and RFS (median: infectious complications [22.1 months] vs no complications [45.5 months] [p < 0.05] and non-infectious complications [38.3 months] [p = 0.139]) than the patients who had no complication or non-infectious complications. In the multivariable analysis, infectious complications remained an independent risk factor for OS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.7; p = 0.016) and RFS (HR, 1.6; p = 0.013). Among the patients with infectious complications, patients with non-surgical-site infection (SSI) had even worse OS and RFS than patients with SSI (median OS: 19.5 vs 70.9 months [p = 0.010]; median RFS: 12.8 vs 33.9 months [p = 0.033]). CONCLUSION Infectious complications were independently associated with an increased long-term risk of tumor recurrence and death. Patients with non-SSI versus SSI had a particularly worse oncologic outcome.

Abstract
AIMS Primary tumor resection for patients with incurable stage IV colorectal cancer can prevent tumor-related complications but may cause postoperative complications. Postoperative complications delay the administration of chemotherapy and can lead to the spread of malignancy. However, the impact of postoperative complications after primary tumor resection on survival in patients with incurable stage IV colorectal cancer remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate how postoperative complications after primary tumor resection affect survival in this patient group. METHODS We reviewed data on 966 patients with stage IV colorectal cancer who underwent palliative primary tumor resection between January 2006 and December 2007. We examined the association between major complications (National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0 grade 3 or more) and overall survival using Cox proportional hazard model and explored risk factors associated with major complications using multivariable logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Ninety-three patients (9.6%) had major complications. The 2-year overall survival rate was 32.7% in the group with major complications and 50.3% in the group with no major complications. Patients with major complications had a significantly poorer prognosis than those without major complications (hazard ratio: 1.62; 95% confidence interval: 1.21-2.18; P < .01). Male, rectal tumor, and open surgery were identified to be risk factors for major complications. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative complications after primary tumor resection was associated with decreased long-term survival in patients with incurable stage IV colorectal cancer.

Improved management of grade B biliary leaks after complex liver resections using gadoxetic acid disodium-enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiography. Surgery 2021; 170:499-506. [PMID: 33745732 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2021.02.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2020] [Revised: 02/04/2021] [Accepted: 02/06/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bile leaks occurring after complex liver resection and lasting >1 week (grade B) usually are managed by means of invasive cholangiography either endoscopic or percutaneous, with a substantial risk of procedure-related complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of gadoxetic acid disodium-enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiography to detect postoperative biliary leaks and avoid invasive cholangiography in case of peripheral location of the fistula. METHODS Patients with grade B biliary leak after complex liver resection from January 2018 to March 2020 underwent magnetic resonance cholangiography to guide the management of the leak (study group). The primary endpoint was the ability of magnetic resonance cholangiography to reduce the need for invasive cholangiography with respect to similar posthepatectomy leaks collected in the previous 2 years and approached with upfront invasive cholangiography (controls). A series of in-hospital outcomes also were compared. RESULTS Out of 533 liver resections, 11 study patients versus 11 control patients with grade B leaks were compared. Magnetic resonance cholangiography achieved 100% accuracy in detection and location of the leak. Five out of 6 peripheral leaks healed without invasive cholangiography. Overall, 50% reduction in the use of invasive cholangiography was observed in the study versus control patients. Median healing time and hospital stay were 38 and 40 days in patients undergoing invasive cholangiography versus 10 and 11 days in patients treated conservatively (P = .007 and 0.012, respectively). Infection rate and other complications rate were 82% vs 20% (P = .01) and 35% vs 40% (P = .5), respectively. CONCLUSION Magnetic resonance cholangiography is a safe, precise, noninvasive tool to detect posthepatectomy bile leaks that can help clinicians in decision-making on conservative versus invasive treatment of fistulas.

Liver surface nodularity: a novel predictor of post-hepatectomy liver failure in patients with colorectal liver metastases following chemotherapy. Eur Radiol 2021; 31:5830-5839. [PMID: 33666699 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-020-07683-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2020] [Revised: 12/16/2020] [Accepted: 12/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to assess the relationship between liver surface nodularity (LSN), chemotherapy-associated liver injury (CALI), and clinically relevant post-hepatectomy liver failure (CR-PHLF) (i.e., ≥ grade B) in patients undergoing hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CLM). METHODS Preoperative CT scans of patients who underwent chemotherapy followed by hepatectomy for CLM between 2010 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. LSN was measured using semi-automated CT software CT images in patients who had available preoperative CT scans within 6 weeks before hepatectomy, and was computed based on the means of one to 10 measurements by two abdominal radiologists consensually. The association of LSN, CALI, and CR-PHLF was analyzed. RESULTS Two hundred fifty-six patients were analyzed (149 men and 107 women; overall median age, 61 [range, 29-88 years]). A total of 26 patients (10.2%) developed CR-PHLF. The optimal LSN cut-off value for detecting CR-PHLF was 2.5, as determined by receiver operative characteristic analysis (p < 0.001). LSN ≥ 2.5 was associated with prolonged chemotherapy (> 6 cycles, p = 0.018), but not with CALIs. After propensity score matching, LSN remained significantly associated with CR-PHLF (p = 0.031). Furthermore, multivariate analysis identified LSN ≥ 2.50 and future liver remnant (FLR) < 30% as significant preoperative predictors of CR-PHLF in 102 patients undergoing major hepatectomy. LSN ≥ 2.50 was more frequent in patients undergoing major hepatectomy despite FLR ≥ 30% (p = 0.008). CONCLUSION LSN quantified on CT is an independent surrogate of CR-PHLF in patients who undergo chemotherapy followed by hepatectomy for CLM and may provide a valuable additional tool in the preoperative assessment of these patients. KEY POINTS • LSN was not associated with chemotherapy- associated liver injury but high LSN (defined ≥ 2.5) was associated with prolonged chemotherapy (> 6 cycles). • High LSN was an independent predictor of clinically relevant postoperative liver failure in patients undergoing hepatectomy for CRLM. • LSN ≥ 2.50 was more frequent in patients with PHLF after major hepatectomy despite a future liver remnant ≥ 30%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anatomical resection (AR) for colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) is disputable. We investigated the impact of AR on short-term outcomes and survival in CLM patients. METHODS Patients having hepatectomy with AR or nonanatomical resection (NAR) for CLM were reviewed. Comparison was made between AR and NAR groups. Group comparison was performed again after propensity score matching with ratio 1:1. RESULTS AR group (n = 234 vs n = 89 in NAR group) had higher carcinoembryonic antigen level (20 vs 7.8 ng/mL, p ≤ 0.001), more blood loss (0.65 vs 0.2 L, p < 0.001), more transfusions (19.2% vs 3.4%, p = 0.001), longer operation (339.5 vs 180 min, p < 0.001), longer hospital stay (9 vs 6 days, p < 0.001), more tumors (p < 0.001), larger tumors (4 vs 2 cm, p < 0.001), more bilobar involvement (20.9% vs 7.9%, p = 0.006), and comparable survival (overall, p = 0.721; disease-free, p = 0.695). After propensity score matching, each group had 70 patients, with matched tumor number, tumor size, liver function, and tumor marker. AR group had more open resections (85.7% vs 68.6%, p = 0.016), more blood loss (0.556 vs 0.3 L, p = 0.001), more transfusions (17.1% vs 4.3%, p = 0.015), longer operation (310 vs 180 min, p < 0.001), longer hospital stay (8.5 vs 6 days, p = 0.002), comparable overall survival (p = 0.819), and comparable disease-free survival (p = 0.855). CONCLUSION Similar disease-free survival and overall survival of CLM patients were seen with the use of AR and NAR. However, AR may entail a more eventful postoperative course. NAR with margin should be considered whenever feasible.

Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate how baseline laboratory data and changes in
physical function due to preoperative rehabilitation training in gastrointestinal cancer
(GIC) patients can influence the frequency of postoperative complications (PCs). Methods: We enrolled 45 patients who were scheduled for elective surgery for GIC (27 men and 18
women, mean age 63.6±9.5 years). All patients underwent a medical examination and
received general instruction from a rehabilitation physician and exercise instruction
from a physical therapist from 7 to 34 days before the surgery. PCs were graded using
the Clavien-Dindo classification based on the medical records 1 month postoperatively.
We measured the grip strength and the isometric knee extension torque and conducted the
6-min walk test (6MWT) at baseline and just before surgery. The surgical duration, blood
loss, and blood transfusion data were collected. Baseline laboratory information,
including C-reactive protein levels, serum albumin levels, platelet count, white blood
cell count, and the estimated glomerular filtration rate, was recorded. Results: The frequency of PCs was negatively correlated to the change in the 6MWT (β=−0.36) and
positively correlated to the surgical duration (β=0.41). Baseline albumin was positively
correlated to the change in the 6MWT distance (β=0.35). This model demonstrated an
acceptable fit to the data (goodness of fit index=0.980, comparative fit index=1.000,
root mean square error of approximation=0.000). Conclusions: The improvement of gait ability achieved with preoperative rehabilitation training in
patients undergoing elective GIC surgery led to decreased PCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biliary confluence is sometimes involved in colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM), and therefore bile duct resection (BDR) is occasionally necessary for complete resection. However, the utility of hepatectomy with combined BDR is unclear. The safety and survival outcome of hepatectomy with combined BDR for CRLM was assessed. METHODS Patients who underwent hepatectomy for CRLM between 2002 and 2017 were identified from a prospectively compiled database. Postoperative outcomes were compared between patients undergoing hepatectomy alone and with combined BDR for CRLM. RESULTS A total of 734 patients who underwent hepatectomy for CRLM were included. Hepatectomy with combined BDR was performed in 16 (2.1%) patients. The postoperative complications rate (Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3) of patients undergoing hepatectomy with BDR was 31.2%, which was higher than that without BDR (P = 0.001) for CRLM. The mortality rate of surgery for CRLM was 0%. The 5- and 10-year relapse-free survival (RFS) rates for hepatectomy with BDR were 45.0% and 30.0%, respectively. Patients undergoing hepatectomy with BDR had a similar RFS to those without BDR for CRLM (P = 0.351). The 5- and 10-year overall survival (OS) rates for hepatectomy with BDR were 62.6% and 62.6%, respectively. Patients undergoing hepatectomy with BDR had a similar OS to those without BDR for CRLM (P = 0.738). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, hepatectomy with combined BDR was a potentially feasible treatment option that obtained favorable survival outcomes in patients with invasion of the biliary confluence by CRLM, although BDR with hepatectomy for CRLM was associated with a high rate of morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of laparoscopic liver resection for curative surgery of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is not well established. Herein, we perform a meta-analysis to compare the differences between laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) and open liver resection (OLR) for ICC. METHODS Multiple electronic databases were searched and 8 relevant studies containing 552 patients treated by LLR and 2320 treated by OLR were identified. The fixed effects and a random-effects model were used to perform a meta-analysis. RESULTS Compared with OLR, LLR for ICC was associated with less blood transfusion (7.14% versus 17.11%; OR: 0.32; 95% CI 0.15 to 0.71; P < 0.05), higher R0 resection (85.63% versus 74.69%; OR: 1.48; 95% CI 1.13 to 1.95; P < 0.05), shorter length of stay (LOS) (SMD: -0.40; 95% CI -0.80 to 0.00; P = 0.05), less overall morbidities (20% versus 32.69%; OR: 0.50; 95% CI 0.33 to 0.78; P < 0.05), and less death due to tumor recurrence (22.39% versus 35.48%; OR: 0.50; 95% CI 0.29 to 0.86; P <0.05); but LLR was associated with smaller ICC, fewer major hepatectomies, less lymph node (LN) dissection rate, and inferior 5-year overall survival (OS) (P < 0.05). Duration of operation, blood loss, average LN retrieved, LN metastasis, major morbidities, mortality, tumor recurrence, 3-year OS and disease free survival (DFS), and 5-year DFS were comparable (P >0.05). CONCLUSION LLR for ICC is in the initial phase of exploration. More evidence is necessary to validate LLR for ICC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Up to 50% of patients suffer short-term postoperative adverse events (AEs) and metastatic recurrence in the long-term following curative-intent lung cancer resection. The association between AEs, particularly infectious in nature, and disease recurrence is controversial. We sought to evaluate the association of postoperative AEs on risk of developing recurrence and recurrence-free survival (RFS) following curative-intent lung resection surgery. METHODS All lung cancer resections at a single institution (January 2008-July 2015) were included, with prospective collection of AEs using the Thoracic Morbidity & Mortality System. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the effect of AEs on recurrence, with results presented as hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). An a priori, clinically driven approach to predictor variable selection was used. Kaplan-Meier curves were used examine the relationship between AE and RFS. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS 892 patients underwent curative-intent resection. 342 (38.3%) patients experienced an AE; 69 (7.7%) patients developed infectious AEs. 17.6% (n = 157) of patients had disease recurrence after mean follow-up of 26.5 months. Severe (Grade IV) AEs were associated with increased risk of recurrence (3.40; 95% CI 1.56-7.41) and a trend to decreased RFS. Major infectious AEs were associated with increased risk of recurrence (HR 1.71; CI 1.05-2.8) and earlier time to recurrence (no infectious AE 66 months, minor infectious 41 months, major infectious 54 months; p = 0.02). CONCLUSION For patients undergoing curative-intent lung cancer resection, postoperative AEs associated with critical illness or major infection were associated with increased risk of oncologic recurrence.

Abstract
AbstractThe preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) calculated based on the serum albumin concentration and peripheral blood lymphocyte count has been reported to correlate with the prognosis in patients undergoing cancer surgery. However, in case of very old patients over 85 years old, the value of preoperative PNI in colorectal cancer has not been studied in any detail. The aim of this study was to assess the PNI as a predictor of postoperative outcome in elderly patients over 85 years old with colorectal cancer. We performed a retrospective review in forty-five patients over 85 years old who underwent colorectal tumor resection at our hospital from April 2013 to March 2018. The correlations between preoperative PNI and postoperative complications were examined. The incidence rate of postoperative complications was 31.1% (14/45). All of cases with postoperative complications were improved conservatively. The median preoperative PNI was 43.20 (range 24.05–57.05) in the validation study. According to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, cutoff value of PNI was set at 45.0 in the validation study. An univariate analysis demonstrated that PNI (p = 0.0006), operation style (elective/emergency) (p = 0.03), operation approach (open/laparoscopy) (p = 0.03), and T factor (p = 0.04). A multivariate analysis showed that PNI was independent predictive factor of postoperative complications. Moreover 3-year overall survival rates of patients in the PNI ≧ 45 and PNI < 45 were 100% and 63.8%, respectively (p = 0.009). This study suggested that PNI is a pivotal independent predictor of the postoperative outcome among elderly patients over 85 years old after colorectal cancer surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aims of this study were to compare the perioperative outcomes after hepatectomy with prior bilioenteric anastomosis to those without prior anastomosis, and to elucidate the mechanisms and preventative measures of its characteristic complications. METHODS The demographic data and perioperative outcomes of 525 hepatectomies performed between January 2007 and December 2018, including 40 hepatectomies with prior bilioenteric anastomosis, were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS A propensity score matching analysis demonstrated that hepatectomies with prior bilioenteric anastomosis were associated with a higher frequency of major complications (p = 0.015), surgical site infection (p = 0.005), organ/space surgical site infection (p = 0.003), and bile leakage (p = 0.007) compared to those without. A multivariate analysis also elucidated that prior bilioenteric anastomosis was one of the independent risk factors of organ/space surgical site infection. In the patients with prior bilioenteric anastomosis, bile leakage was associated with organ/space surgical site infection at a significantly higher rate than those without prior bilioenteric anastomosis (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Prior bilioenteric anastomosis is a strong risk factor for organ/space surgical site infections, which might be induced by bile leakage. To prevent infectious complications after hepatectomy with prior bilioenteric anastomosis, meticulous liver transection to reduce bile leakage rate is thus considered to be mandatory.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To perform an individual participant data meta-analysis using randomized trials and propensity-score matched (PSM) studies which compared laparoscopic versus open hepatectomy for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM). BACKGROUND Randomized trials and PSM studies constitute the highest level of evidence in addressing the long-term oncologic efficacy of laparoscopic versus open resection for CLM. However, individual studies are limited by the reporting of overall survival in ways not amenable to traditional methods of meta-analysis, and violation of the proportional hazards assumption. METHODS Survival information of individual patients was reconstructed from the published Kaplan-Meier curves with the aid of a computer vision program. Frequentist and Bayesian survival models (taking into account random-effects and nonproportional hazards) were fitted to compare overall survival of patients who underwent laparoscopic versus open surgery. To handle long plateaus in the tails of survival curves, we also exploited "cure models" to estimate the fraction of patients effectively "cured" of disease. RESULTS Individual patient data from 2 randomized trials and 13 PSM studies involving 3148 participants were reconstructed. Laparoscopic resection was associated with a lower hazard rate of death (stratified hazard ratio = 0.853, 95% confidence interval: 0.754-0.965, P = 0.0114), and there was evidence of time-varying effects (P = 0.0324) in which the magnitude of hazard ratios increased over time. The fractions of long-term cancer survivors were estimated to be 47.4% and 18.0% in the laparoscopy and open surgery groups, respectively. At 10-year follow-up, the restricted mean survival time was 8.6 months (or 12.1%) longer in the laparoscopy arm (P < 0.0001). In a subgroup analysis, elderly patients (≥65 years old) treated with laparoscopy experienced longer 3-year average life expectancy (+6.2%, P = 0.018), and those who live past the 5-year milestone (46.1%) seem to be cured of disease. CONCLUSIONS This patient-level meta-analysis of high-quality studies demonstrated an unexpected survival benefit in favor of laparoscopic over open resection for CLM in the long-term. From a conservative viewpoint, these results can be interpreted to indicate that laparoscopy is at least not inferior to the standard open approach.

Abstract
The impacts of post‑operative abdominal infectious complications increase hematogenous distant metastasis and result in poor long‑term survival after curative resection. Even if curative resection can be performed, the presence of circulating tumor cells is affected. The liver, the most common site of metastases, is an important organ in innate immune surveillance. However, the molecular mechanisms of distant hematogenous metastasis are not yet fully known. Platelets are crucial components in the tumor microenvironment that function to promote tumor progression and metastasis. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of platelets on escape from innate immune surveillance in post‑operative abdominal infectious complications. Platelet adherence was assessed by co‑culturing human pancreatic cancer cells including transforming growth factor (TGF‑β)‑treated BxPC‑3. CD44 isoform, transcription factors and epithelial‑mesenchymal transition markers were examined using western blotting. We also assessed whether cancer cells surrounded by activated platelets could escape from innate immune surveillance, using infectious and non‑infectious mouse models injected intraperitoneally with LPS. Platelets were found to preferentially adhere to mesenchymal cells rather than epithelial cells. BxPC‑3 epithelial cells showed upregulation of CD44‑variant and epithelial splicing regulatory protein 1 (ESRP‑1) expression. However, Panc‑1 mesenchymal cells and TGF‑β‑treated BxPC‑3 cells showed upregulation of CD44‑standard and zinc finger E‑box‑binding homeobox 1 (ZEB‑1) expression and a reduction in ESRP‑1. In the non‑infectious model, cancer cells were not found in the liver. In the infectious model, although epithelial cells without platelet adhesion were in an apoptotic state, mesenchymal cells showed many viable cancer cells surrounded by activated platelets. Cancer cells were suggested to have phenotypic plasticity through the switching of CD44 isoforms. Mesenchymal cells, which express CD44‑standard, could escape from immune surveillance by becoming surrounded by adhered activated platelets. Therefore, it may be necessary to administer antiplatelet agents to prevent distant hematogenous metastasis when post‑operative abdominal infectious complications occur.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We retrospectively evaluated the impact of postoperative complications on long-term outcomes after curative resection for colorectal cancer (CRC), using propensity-score analysis (PSA). PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed data from 673 consecutive patients with stage I to III CRC, who underwent curative resections between 2005 and 2017. Patients were divided into the complication group (Clavien-Dindo [CD] grade ≥ 3) and the control group (others). We performed PSA to obtain unbiased estimates of the effects of the oncological background on each outcome. RESULTS We matched for sex, age, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, location (right colon/left colon/rectum), histology (tub1/tub2/por), pathological tumor depth, and lymph node metastases. Eighty-five patients (12.6%) developed postoperative complications with CD grade ≥ 3. After PSA, 81 patients were included in each group. The complication group showed significantly worse relapse-free survival (RFS) than the control group (5-year RFS rate: 62% vs 77%; P = .047). In multivariate analysis with inverse probability of treatment weights, the complication group had a higher risk of relapse or death than the control group (hazard ratio: 2.08, 95% confidence interval:1.3-3.3; P = .018). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative complications (CD grade ≥ 3) could cause poor long-term outcomes in patients with stage I to III CRC; their presence requires appropriate adjuvant chemotherapy and follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Postoperative complications (POCs) after hepatic resection for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) adversely affect long-term survival. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of POC etiology and severity on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). METHODS A retrospective study of 254 consecutive hepatectomies for CRLM was performed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine the effects of demographic, tumor-related and perioperative variables on OS and DFS. A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was then used to compare patients with different POC etiology: infective (Inf-POC), noninfective (Non-inf POC), and no-complications (No-POC). RESULTS Inf-POC, Non-inf POC, and No-POC patients represented 18.8%, 19.2%, and 62% of the sample, respectively. In univariate and multivariate analyses infectious POC were independent risk factors for decreased OS and DFS. After PSM, Inf-POC group presented decreased OS and DFS when compared with Non-inf POC (5-year OS 31.8% vs 51.6%; P = .05 and 5-year DFS 13.6% vs 31.9%; P = .04) and with No-POC (5-year OS 29.4% vs 58.7%; P = .03 and 5-year DFS 11.8% vs 39.7%; P = .03). There were no differences between Non-inf POC and No-POC patients. POC severity calculated using the Comprehensive Complications Index did not influence OS and DFS before and after PSM. CONCLUSION The negative oncological impact of POCs after CRLM resection is determined by infective etiology not by severity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To elucidate minor hepatectomy (MiH) outcomes. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Liver surgery has moved toward a parenchyma-sparing approach, favoring MiHs over major resections. MiHs encompass a wide range of procedures. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated consecutive patients who underwent open liver resections in 17 high-volume centers. EXCLUSION CRITERIA cirrhosis and associated digestive/biliary resections. Resections were classified as (Brisbane nomenclature): limited resections (LR); (mono)segmentectomies/bisegmentectomies (Segm/Bisegm); right anterior and right posterior sectionectomies (RightAnteriorSect/RightPosteriorSect). Additionally, we defined: complex LRs (ComplexLR = LRs with exposed vessels); postero-superior segmentectomies (PosteroSuperiorSegm = segment (Sg)7, Sg8, and Sg7+Sg8 segmentectomies); and complex core hepatectomies (ComplexCoreHeps = Sg1 segmentectomies and combined resections of Sg4s+Sg8+Sg1). Left lateral sectionectomies (LLSs, n = 442) and right hepatectomies (RHs, n = 1042) were reference standards. Outcomes were adjusted for potential confounders. RESULTS Four thousand four hundred seventy-one MiHs were analyzed. Compared with RHs, MiHs had lower 90-day mortality (0.5%/2.2%), severe morbidity (8.6%/14.4%), and liver failure rates (2.4%/11.6%, P < 0.001), but similar bile leak rates. LR and LLS had similar outcomes. ComplexLR and Segm/Bisegm of anterolateral segments had higher bile leak rates than LLS rates (OR = 2.35 and OR = 3.24), but similar severe morbidity rates. ComplexCoreHeps had higher bile leak rates than RH rates (OR = 1.94); the severe morbidity rate approached that of RH. PosteroSuperiorSegm, RightAnteriorSect, and RightPosteriorSect had severe morbidity and bile leak rates similar to RH rates. MiHs had low liver failure rates, except RightAnteriorSect (vs LLS OR = 4.02). CONCLUSIONS MiHs had heterogeneous outcomes. Mortality was low, but MiHs could be stratified according to severe morbidity, bile leak, and liver failure rates. Some MiHs had postoperative outcomes similar to RH.

Abstract
Cancer is the leading cause of death in North America. Despite modern advances in cancer therapy, many patients will ultimately develop cancer metastasis resulting in mortality. Surgery to resect early stage solid malignancies remains the cornerstone of cancer treatment. However, surgery places patients at risk of developing post-operative infectious complications that are linked to earlier cancer metastatic recurrence and cancer mortality. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are evolutionarily-conserved sentinel receptors of the innate immune system that are activated by microbial products present during infection, leading to activation of innate immunity. Numerous types of solid cancer cells also express TLRs, with their activation augmenting their ability to metastasize. Similarly, healthy host-tissue TLRs activated during infection induce a prometastatic environment in the host. Cancer cells additionally secrete TLR activating ligands that activate both cancer TLRs and host TLRs to promote metastasis. Consequently, TLRs are an attractive therapeutic candidate to target infection-induced cancer metastasis and progression.

Abstract
Background The present study aimed to compare the perioperative safety and long-term survival of patients with synchronous colorectal liver metastases undergoing sequential resection (SeR), delayed resection (DeR) and simultaneous resection (SiR). Methods From January 2007 to December 2016, data from patients undergoing surgery at Peking University Cancer Hospital for synchronous colorectal liver metastases were retrospectively collected. The above three different surgical strategies were compared. Results A total of 233 cases were included, with 49 in the SeR group, 98 in the DeR group and 86 in the SiR group. The incidence of severe complications was 26.7% in the SiR group, higher than that in the DeR group (11.2%, P = 0.007) and the SeR group (16.3%, P = 0.166). The overall survival at 1 and 3 years in the SeR group (93.9 and 50.1%) was lower than that in the DeR group (94.9 and 64.8%, P = 0.019), but not significantly different from that in the SiR group (93.0 and 55.2%, P = 0.378). Recurrence-free survival at 1 and 3 years in the SeR group (22.4 and 18.4%) was lower than that in the DeR group (43.9 and 24.2%, P = 0.033) but not significantly different from that in the SiR group (31.4 and 19.6%, P = 0.275). Cox multivariate analysis indicated that T4, lymph node-positive primary tumour, liver metastases > 30 mm and SiR (compared with DeR) were correlated with poor prognosis. Conclusion Simultaneous resection has a relatively higher incidence of severe complications, and with a staged resection strategy, the prognosis of delayed resection was better than that of sequential resection.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Postoperative complications after resection of oesophagogastric carcinoma can result in considerable early morbidity and mortality. However, the long-term effects on survival are less clear.
Methods
All patients undergoing intentionally curative resection for oesophageal or gastric cancer between 2006 and 2016 were selected from an institutional database. Patients were categorized by complication severity according to the Clavien–Dindo classification (grades 0–V). Complications were defined according to an international consensus statement. The effect of leak and severe non-leak-related complications on overall survival, recurrence and disease-free survival was assessed using Kaplan–Meier analyses to evaluate differences between groups. All factors significantly associated with survival in univariable analysis were entered into a Cox multivariable regression model with stepwise elimination.
Results
Some 1100 patients were included, with a median age of 69 (range 28–92) years; 48·1 per cent had stage III disease and cancer recurred in 428 patients (38·9 per cent). Complications of grade III or higher occurred in 244 patients (22·2 per cent). The most common complications were pulmonary (29·9 per cent), with a 13·0 per cent incidence of pneumonia. Rates of atrial dysrhythmia and anastomotic leak were 10·0 and 9·6 per cent respectively. Patients with a grade III–IV leak did not have significantly reduced overall survival compared with those who had grade 0–I complications. However, patients with grade III–IV non-leak-related complications had reduced median overall survival (19·7 versus 42·7 months; P < 0·001) and disease-free survival (18·4 versus 36·4 months; P < 0·001). Cox regression analysis identified age, tumour stage, resection margin and grade III–IV non-leak-related complications as independent predictors of poor overall and disease-free survival.
Conclusion
Beyond the acute postoperative period, anastomotic leak does not adversely affect survival, however, other severe postoperative complications do reduce long-term overall and disease-free survival.

Abstract
Background Major hepatectomy is a complex surgical procedure with high morbidity. Intra‐abdominal infection (IAI) is common following hepatectomy and affects treatment outcomes. This study was performed to investigate perioperative factors and determine whether the preoperative serum albumin level is associated with IAI following major hepatectomy. Methods From January 2008 to December 2018, 268 patients underwent major hepatectomy. We retrospectively analyzed demographic data and preoperative and perioperative variables. IAI was defined as organ/space surgical site infection. Risk factors for IAI were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. Results In total, 268 patients were evaluated. IAI was observed in 38 patients (14.6%). The mortality rate in the IAI group was 15.7%. Multivariate logistic analysis confirmed that the serum albumin level (odds ratio 0.91; 95% confidence interval 0.84–0.97; P = 0.03) and operative duration (odds ratio 1.50; 95% confidence interval 1.18–1.91; P < 0.01) were independent factors associated with IAI. A logistic model using the serum albumin level and operative duration to estimate the probability of IAI was analyzed. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for predicting IAI was 0.78. Conclusion The serum albumin level and operative duration were independent factors predicting IAI following major hepatectomy.

The impact of bile leakage on long-term prognosis in primary liver cancers after hepatectomy: A propensity-score-matched study. Asian J Surg 2019; 43:603-612. [PMID: 31611103 DOI: 10.1016/j.asjsur.2019.08.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2019] [Revised: 07/16/2019] [Accepted: 08/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of bile leakage (BL) on the long-term prognosis in patients with primary liver cancers after hepatectomy remains unclear. METHODS One thousand nine hundred and seventy-one consecutive patients with primary liver cancers who underwent curative hepatectomy were enrolled. 75 patients encountered BL, including 34 long-time BL (LTBL) and 41 short-time BL (STBL) according to 4-weeks demarcation. Variables associated with BL were identified using multiple logistic regression analysis. 75 patients without BL were enrolled into the Non-BL group using a one-to-one propensity score matched analysis before assessing the impact of BL on the long-term prognosis. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the serum and drain fluid were detected and compared. RESULTS The tumor size, type of liver cancer, operation time, blood loss and blood transfusion were independent risk factors for BL. The long-term survival showed no difference between the patients with and without BL (p > 0.05), while the LTBL was a significant predictor of poor long-term prognosis (p < 0.001). Compared with the patients without BL, the patients with BL had a higher level of IL-6 from postoperative day (POD) 1 to POD 60, and a higher level of CRP from POD 7 to POD 60. By POD 60, the levels of IL-6 and CRP hadn't restored to the normal level in the LTBL group. CONCLUSIONS The LTBL has a negative impact on the long-term prognosis of patients with primary liver cancers after hepatectomy, in which the inflammatory responses may play a pivotal role.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative complications affect both the short-term and long-term outcomes. The aim of this study was to identify specific prognostic factors among complications after hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM). METHODS Between 2002 and 2014, 427 patients underwent initial hepatectomy for CRLM. The clinicopathological parameters including postoperative complications were evaluated to identify the prognostic factors for the overall (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS). RESULTS One hundred and forty-nine patients (34%) developed postoperative complications, including surgical site infection (n = 49, 11.4%), bile leakage (n = 41, 9.6%), posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) (n = 26, 6.0%), and pulmonary complication (n = 20, 4.6%). The independent predictors of RFS included primary nodal metastasis, abnormal CA19-9 levels, extrahepatic metastasis, bilateral CRLMs, ≥5 CRLMs, preoperative chemotherapy, lack of adjuvant chemotherapy and PHLF. The 5-year RFS rates in patients with and without PHLF were 8% and 32%, respectively (P < 0.001). The independent prognostic factors for OS included primary nodal metastasis, abnormal CA19-9 levels, extrahepatic metastasis, positive surgical margins, preoperative chemotherapy, lack of adjuvant chemotherapy and PHLF. The 5-year OS rates in patients with and without PHLF were 31% and 63%, respectively (P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Among the complications, only PHLF was associated with decreased long-term survival after hepatectomy for CRLM as well as tumor-specific prognostic factors.

Abstract
[Purpose] This study aimed to examine the causes of post-surgical infective and
non-infective complications and to examine the possibility of physical therapy for
preventing postoperative complications in gastrointestinal cancer patients. [Participants
and Methods] The study participants were 119 perioperative gastrointestinal cancer
patients [69 males and 50 females, aged 62.2 ± 11.2 years (mean ± standard deviation)]
classified into three groups according to whether they had infective complications,
non-infective complications, or the absence of complications. Data on onset factors for
complications, basic information, surgical information, biochemical data, respiratory
function, physical function, physique, and body composition were collected from a previous
study. [Results] In the group with onset factors of infective complications, blood loss,
the C-reactive protein level on the third postoperative day, and the forced expiratory
volume % in 1 second were found to be significant explanatory variables. In the group with
onset factors of non-infective complications, surgical time was detected as a significant
explanatory variable. [Conclusion] In gastrointestinal cancer patients, surgical
information affected the onset of infective and non-infective complications. However, only
infective complications had the onset factors of postoperative immune response and
preoperative respiratory function. Preoperative physical therapy may be an option for the
prevention of postoperative complications in gastrointestinal cancer patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Postoperative complications have a great impact on the postoperative course and oncological outcomes following major cancer surgery. Among them, infective complications play an important role. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether postoperative infective complications influence long-term survival after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods
Patients who underwent resection with curative intent for HCC between July 2003 and June 2016 were identified from a multicentre database (8 institutions) and analysed retrospectively. Independent risk factors for postoperative infective complications were identified. After excluding patients who died 90 days or less after surgery, overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were compared between patients with and without postoperative infective complications within 30 days after resection.
Results
Among 2442 patients identified, 332 (13·6 per cent) had postoperative infective complications. Age over 60 years, diabetes mellitus, obesity, cirrhosis, intraoperative blood transfusion, duration of surgery exceeding 180 min and major hepatectomy were identified as independent risk factors for postoperative infective complications. Univariable analysis revealed that median OS and RFS were poorer among patients with postoperative infective complications than among patients without (54·3 versus 86·8 months, and 22·6 versus 43·2 months, respectively; both P < 0·001). After adjustment for other prognostic factors, multivariable Cox regression analyses identified postoperative infective complications as independently associated with decreased OS (hazard ratio (HR) 1·20, 95 per cent c.i. 1·02 to 1·41; P = 0·027) and RFS (HR 1·19, 1·03 to 1·37; P = 0·021).
Conclusion
Postoperative infective complications decreased long-term OS and RFS in patients treated with liver resection for HCC.

Abstract
AIM Surgery for colorectal cancer is associated with a high incidence of postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to analyse whether postoperative complications following radical resection for colorectal cancer are associated with increased recurrence rate and impaired survival. METHOD Patients operated for colon cancer between 2007 and 2009 with curative intent were identified through the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry. The cohort was divided into three subgroups: patients who developed severe postoperative complications, patients who developed non-severe complications and patients who did not develop any complication (controls). RESULTS Of 6779 patients included in the study, 640 (9%) developed severe complications, 994 (15%) non-severe complications and 5145 (76%) had no complications. The 5-year overall survival rate was 60.3% in the severe complication group, 64.2% in the non-severe complication group and 72.8% in the control group (P < 0.01). The 3-year disease-free survival rate was 66.8%, 70.9% and 77.8% respectively (P < 0.01). The recurrence rate did not differ between the three groups. In multivariate analysis, both severe and non-severe complications were found to be risk factors for decreased overall survival at 5 years [hazard ratio (HR) 1.38, 95% CI 1.47-1.92, and HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.27-1.60 respectively; P < 0.05) as well as for decreased 3-year disease-free survival (HR 1.37, 95% CI 1.14-1.65, and HR 1.26, 95% CI 1.08-1.48 respectively; P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Complications after colonic resection for cancer are associated with impaired 5-year overall survival and 3-year disease-free survival and exhibit more severe postoperative complications, mainly via mechanisms other than cancer recurrence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs have gained acceptance in various surgical specialties, no established neurosurgical ERAS protocol for patients undergoing elective craniotomy has been reported in the literature. Here, the authors describe the design, implementation, safety, and efficacy of a novel neurosurgical ERAS protocol for elective craniotomy in a tertiary care medical center located in China. METHODS A multidisciplinary neurosurgical ERAS protocol for elective craniotomy was developed based on the best available evidence. A total of 140 patients undergoing elective craniotomy between October 2016 and May 2017 were enrolled in a randomized clinical trial comparing this novel protocol to conventional neurosurgical perioperative management. The primary endpoint of this study was the postoperative hospital length of stay (LOS). Postoperative morbidity, perioperative complications, postoperative pain scores, postoperative nausea and vomiting, duration of urinary catheterization, time to first solid meal, and patient satisfaction were secondary endpoints. RESULTS The median postoperative hospital LOS (4 days) was significantly shorter with the incorporation of the ERAS protocol than that with conventional perioperative management (7 days, p < 0.0001). No 30-day readmission or reoperation occurred in either group. More patients in the ERAS group reported mild pain (visual analog scale score 1-3) on postoperative day 1 than those in the control group (79% vs. 33%, OR 7.49, 95% CI 3.51-15.99, p < 0.0001). Similarly, more patients in the ERAS group had a shortened duration of pain (1-2 days; 53% vs. 17%, OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.29-1.37, p = 0.0001). The urinary catheter was removed within 6 hours after surgery in 74% patients in the ERAS group (OR 400.1, 95% CI 23.56-6796, p < 0.0001). The time to first oral liquid intake was a median of 8 hours in the ERAS group compared to 11 hours in the control group (p < 0.0001), and solid food intake occurred at a median of 24 hours in the ERAS group compared to 72 hours in the control group (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS This multidisciplinary, evidence-based, neurosurgical ERAS protocol for elective craniotomy appears to have significant benefits over conventional perioperative management. Implementation of ERAS is associated with a significant reduction in the postoperative hospital stay and an acceleration in recovery, without increasing complication rates related to elective craniotomy. Further evaluation of this protocol in large multicenter studies is warranted.Clinical trial registration no.: ChiCTR-INR-16009662 (chictr.org.cn).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bile leakage (BL) is a frequent and severe complication following liver surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate risk factors for BL, related other complications and association with long-term survival. METHODS This study included all patients undergoing hepatectomy in a single centre from 2005 to 2016. Perioperative risk factors related to BL were identified using univariable and multivariable analysis. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. RESULTS BL occurred in 48 of 458 patients (11%). BLs were more frequent in patients after major hepatectomy (p = 0.001). Portal vein embolization, bilioenteric-anastomosis, lymphadenectomy, vascular reconstruction and operative time were significant factors for developing BL. Comparing patients with or without BL, BL was more commonly associated with other postoperative complications (p = 0.001), especially acute kidney failure and surgical-site-infections. There was no difference in 90-day-mortality (p = 0.124). The median disease-free survival was comparable (17 vs. 15 months, p = 0.976), also no difference was observed when stratifying for different tumour entities. There was no difference in median overall survival (OS) among malignant disease (35 vs. 47 months, p = 0.200) and in 3-year OS (46% vs. 59%). Multivariate analysis confirmed that postoperative liver failure and major hepatectomy were risk factors for reduced OS (p = 0.010). CONCLUSIONS Many concerns have been raised regarding tumour progression after major complications. In this study, we only found a relevant influence of BL on OS in pCC, whereas no association was seen in other cancer types, indicating that tumour progression might be triggered by BL in cancer types arising from the bile ducts itself.

Postoperative Infectious Complications Impact Long-Term Survival in Patients Who Underwent Hepatectomies for Colorectal Liver Metastases: a Propensity Score Matching Analysis. J Gastrointest Surg 2018; 22:2045-2054. [PMID: 29992519 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-018-3854-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2018] [Accepted: 06/18/2018] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Postoperative complications strongly impact the postoperative course and long-term outcome of patients who underwent liver resection for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Among them, infectious complications play a relevant role. The aim of this study was to evaluate if infectious complications still impact overall and disease-free survival after liver resection for CRLM once patients were matched with a propensity score matching analysis based on Fong's criteria. METHODS A total of 2281 hepatectomies were analyzed from a multicentric retrospective cohort of hepatectomies. Patients were matched with a 1:3 propensity score analysis in order to compare patients with (INF+) and without (INF-) postoperative infectious complications. RESULTS Major resection (OR = 1.69 (1.01-2.89), p = 0.05) and operative time (OR = 1.1 (1.1-1.3), p = 0.05) were identified as risk factors of infectious complications. After propensity score matching, infectious complications are associated with overall survival (OS), with 1-, 3-, 5-year OS at 94, 81, and 66% in INF- and 92, 66, and 57% in INF+ respectively (p = 0.01). Disease-free survival (DFS) was also different with regard to 1-, 3-, 5-year survival at 65, 41, and 22% in R0 vs. 50, 28, and 17% in INF+ (p = 0.007). CONCLUSION Infectious complications are associated with decreased overall and disease-free survival rates.

Surg Today 2018; 49:170-175. [PMID: 30225661 DOI: 10.1007/s00595-018-1715-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2018] [Accepted: 08/24/2018] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSES Postoperative complications are associated with poor overall and cancer-specific survival after resection of various types of cancer, including primary colorectal cancer. However, the oncological impact of surgical site infection (SSI) after liver resection for colorectal liver metastases (CLM) is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the oncological impact of SSI after liver resection for CLM. METHODS We reviewed data from 367 consecutive patients treated by curative liver resection for CLM between 1994 and 2015. Patients who underwent simultaneous resection of colorectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases (n = 86) were excluded from the analysis. Short- and long-term outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS SSI developed in 18 (6.4%) of the 281 patients in the analytic cohort (SSI group). The remaining 93.6% (n = 263) did not suffer this complication (no-SSI group). The operative duration was significantly longer in the SSI group than in the No-SSI group (p = 0.002). The overall survival rates 5 years after liver resection for CLM were 33.3% in the SSI group vs. 50.7% in the No-SSI group (p = 0.043). Multivariate analysis indicated that a liver tumor size ≥ 5 cm, R1 resection, and SSI were independently associated with overall survival after liver resection. CONCLUSIONS SSI after liver resection for CLM is associated with adverse oncological outcomes.
