Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal perioperative antimicrobial agent for preventing surgical site infection (SSI) in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) with preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) remains unclear. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 288 patients who underwent PD after PBD between 2010 and 2020 at our institution. Patients were classified into two groups according to the perioperative antimicrobial agent used (cefazoline [CEZ] group [n = 108] and ceftriaxone [CTRX] group [n = 180]). The incidence of SSI, type of bacteria in intraoperative bile culture (IBC), and antimicrobial susceptibility to prophylactic antimicrobial agents were analyzed. RESULTS The incidence of incisional SSI was significantly lower in the CTRX group than in the CEZ group (18% vs. 31%, P = 0.021), whereas the incidence of organ/space SSI in the two groups did not differ to a statistically significant extent (35% vs. 44%, P = 0.133). Gram-negative rod (GNR) bacteria in the IBC showed better antimicrobial susceptibility in the CTRX group than in the CEZ group. In multivariate analysis, antimicrobial resistance due to GNR was a significant risk factor for incisional SSI (odds ratio, 3.50; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS CTRX had better antimicrobial coverage than CEZ for GNR cultured from intraoperative bile samples. In addition, CTRX provides better antimicrobial prophylaxis than CEZ against superficial SSI in patients with PD after PBD. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER This study was not a clinical trial and had no registration numbers.

Pathogen detection in patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma: Implications for targeted perioperative antibiotic therapy. Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int 2023; 22:512-518.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholestasis should be relieved by biliary drainage prior to major liver resection. This condition is often associated with bacterial colonization of the otherwise sterile biliary system. Cholangitis reduces the regenerative capacity of the remaining liver. Therefore, targeted antibiotic therapy is a key feature in perioperative treatment in patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCC). METHODS Between December 1999 and December 2017, 251 pCCC patients were treated in our center. In total, 115 patients underwent a microbiological analysis. In addition to the characterization of the specific microorganisms and antibiotic resistance, we analyzed subgroups according to preoperative intervention. RESULTS Enterococci (87/254, 34%) and Enterobacteria (65/254, 26%) were the most frequently detected genera. In 43% (50/115) of patients, Enterococcus faecalis was found in the bile duct sample. Enterococcus faecium (29/115) and Escherichia coli (29/115) were detected in 25% of patients. In patients with percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (3/8, 38%) or stents (24/79, 30%), Enterococcus faecium was diagnosed most frequently (P < 0.05). Enterococcus faecium and Klebsiella oxytoca were significantly more frequently noted in the time period after 2012 (P < 0.05). With regard to fungal colonization, the focus was on various Candida strains, but these strains generally lacked resistance. CONCLUSIONS pCCC patients exhibit specific bacterial colonization features depending on the type of preoperative biliary intervention. Specifically, targeted antibiosis should be applied in this patient cohort to minimize the risk of biliary complications after major liver resection. In our cohort, the combination of meropenem and vancomycin represents an effective perioperative medical approach.

Prophylactic Perioperative Antibiotics in Open Pancreaticoduodenectomy: When Less Is More and When It Is Not. A National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Propensity-Matched Analysis. J Surg Res 2022; 279:722-732. [PMID: 35933790 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2022.06.028] [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: 05/09/2021] [Revised: 05/21/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION We hypothesized that first-generation cephalosporins (G1CEP) provide adequate antimicrobial coverage for pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) when no biliary stent is present but might be inferior to second-generation cephalosporins or broad-spectrum antibiotics (G2CEP/BS) in decreasing surgical-site infection (SSI) rates when a biliary stent is present. METHODS The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program 2014-2019 was used to select patients who underwent elective open PD. We divided the population into no-stent versus stent groups based on the status of biliary drainage and then divided each group into G1CEP versus G2CEP/BS subgroups based on the choice of perioperative antibiotics. We matched the subgroups per a propensity score match and analyzed postoperative outcomes. RESULTS Six thousand two hundred forty five cases of 39,779 were selected; 2821 in the no-stent (45.2%) versus 3424 (54.8%) in the stent group. G1CEP were the antibiotics of choice in 2653 (42.5%) versus G2CEP/BS in 3592 (57.5%) cases. In the no-stent group, we matched 1129 patients between G1CEP and G2CEP/BS. There was no difference in SSI-specific complications (20.3% versus 21.0%; P = 0.677), general infectious complications (25.7% versus 26.9%; P = 0.503), PD-specific complications, overall morbidity, length of stay, or mortality. In the stent group, we matched 1244 pairs. G2CEP/BS had fewer SSI-specific complications (19.9% versus 26.6%; P < 0.001), collections requiring drainage (9.6% versus 12.9%; P = 0.011), and general infectious complications (28.5% versus 34.1%; P = 0.002) but no difference in overall morbidity, mortality, length of stay, and readmission rates. CONCLUSIONS G2CEP/BS are associated with reduced rates of SSI-specific and infectious complications in stented patients undergoing open elective PD. In patients without prior biliary drainage, G1CEP seems to provide adequate antimicrobial coverage.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Infectious complications are common after pancreatoduodenectomy, which in turn are associated with preoperative biliary drainage. Current guidelines recommend a first-generation cephalosporin as perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis. However, some studies support the use of targeted antibiotics. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the role of prophylactic targeted antibiotics compared to standard antibiotics in reducing postoperative infections after pancreatoduodenectomy. METHODS A search from MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane library from 1946 to July 2020 was conducted. Studies were included if they compared targeted antibiotics with standard perioperative antibiotics while including outcome data on surgical site infections (SSI). Targeted therapy was defined as perioperative antibiotics targeting organisms prevalent in bile instrumentation or by culture data obtained from the patient or institution. Outcomes assessed were the rate of SSIs and their microbiology profile. Analyses included demographic data, perioperative antibiotics, postoperative outcomes including microbiology data, and meta-analysis was performed where applicable. RESULTS Seven studies were included, with a total of 849 patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy. Targeted antibiotics were associated with a significantly lower rate of postoperative SSI compared to standard antibiotic therapy [21.1% vs 41.9%; risk ratios (RR) 0.55, 95% confidence interval 0.37-0.81]. Wound/incisional site infections and organ space infections were lower in patients receiving targeted antibiotic prophylaxis (RR 0.33, P = 0.0002 and RR 0.54, P = 0.0004, respectively). Enterococcus species were the most common bacteria reported. CONCLUSION There was a significant reduction in overall SSI rates when targeted antibiotics was used. Current standard antibiotic prophylaxis is inadequate in covering microbes prevalent in postoperative infections developing after pancreatoduodenectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative surgical site infection is a major source of morbidity after pancreatic head resections, and data suggest bacterobilia as a leading cause. Some centers use intraoperative bile duct cultures to guide postoperative antimicrobial prophylaxis. This prospective study evaluates culture differences between traditional bile duct swab versus bile duct aspiration intraoperative samples. METHODS Prospective patients undergoing pancreatic head resection with both bile duct swab and bile duct aspiration were included. Cultures were reviewed for organism characteristics. Any growth of organisms was considered a positive culture. Bile duct swab yield and characteristics were compared with bile duct aspiration. Postoperative surgical site infection complications were compared to bile duct culture results. RESULTS Fifty patients were included. Bile duct aspiration resulted in a significantly higher median number of organisms compared to bile duct swab (6 vs 3; P < .001). There were no differences in the number of patients (37 vs 33) having positive bile duct aspiration and bile duct swab cultures (P = .385). Anaerobic cultures (not possible with bile duct swab) were positive in 21 patients with bile duct aspiration. A total of 37 (74%) patients had preoperative biliary stenting, which highly associated (P < .001) with positive cultures. Bile duct culture organisms correlated with postoperative surgical site infection in 12/17 (71%) patients. CONCLUSION Use of bile duct aspiration improves intraoperative bile duct culture organism yield over bile duct swab and may improve tailoring of antibiotics in patients undergoing pancreatic head resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Organ/space surgical site infections (OSSI) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) are not rare events. The role of diagnosis and treatment for pancreatic and biliary diseases with an endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) procedure is currently controversial. However, the ERCP procedure might play a role in surgical outcomes after PD. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study for patients who underwent PD in the First Affiliated Hospital with the Nanjing Medical University from 1st September 2012 to 31st January 2018. The relationship between ERCP exposure and OSSI after PD was analyzed by univariate and forward stepwise multivariate logistic regression model. RESULTS Of the 1,365 patients who underwent PD, 136 developed OSSI (10.0%). We found that ERCP exposure before PD (EEBPD) was significantly associated with an increased incidence rate of post-operative pancreas fistula (POPF) [24.2% (23/95) vs. 14.9% (189/1,270), risk ratio (RR) =1.63, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.11-2.38, P=0.015]. Hypertension, a higher level of preoperative low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and creatinine (Cr) were associated with elevated risks of post-operative OSSI [adjusted odds ratio (Adj-OR) (95% CI) were 1.59 (1.09-2.32), 1.70 (1.16-2.51), 1.99 (1.36-2.92)], whereas a preoperatively higher level of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) would decrease the risk [Adj-OR (95% CI), 0.62 (0.42-0.91)]. Remarkably, EEBPD would significantly increase and more than double the OSSI risk [Adj-OR (95% CI), 2.56 (1.46-4.47)] especially if it was within 14 days before surgery (Spearman =-0.698, P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS ERCP, as an independent risk factor, significantly increased the risk of post-operative OSSI after PD if it is performed within 14 days prior to surgery. Our findings would assist clinical decision-making, and improve OSSI control and prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Though preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) has been suggested to be linked with increased perioperative morbidity it is still practiced commonly. We studied the association of PBD and positive biliary culture with surgical site infection and also analysed the common pathogens and their antibiotic sensitivity spectrum. METHODS Prospectively maintained data of patients who underwent various pancreatobiliary surgeries from 2017 to 2019 was analysed. Patients whose intraoperative bile culture reports were available were included in the study. Various factors associated with surgical site infection (SSI), microbial spectrum of bile culture and their sensitivity pattern were analysed. RESULTS Out of 68 patients whose bile culture report were available, PBD was done in 65% (n = 44). Among patients with infected bile (n = 51), biliary stent was present in 78.4% (n = 40). On univariate analysis, the factors associated with SSI were low albumin level (<3.5 mg%), long operative time (>6 h), duration of abdominal drain (>4 days), length of hospital stay, intraoperative bile spillage and infected bile. However, on multivariate analysis, only presence of drain for >4 days (p = 0.04) and positive bile culture (p = 0.02) was linked with increased risk of SSI. Most common organism isolated was E coli (73.2%), with 100% sensitivity to Colistin and Tigecycline shown by gram negative isolates. CONCLUSION Preoperative biliary stenting alone did not increase the risk of SSI, but the positive bile culture correlated with SSI irrespective of PBD. Most biliary pathogens were resistant to commonly used antibiotics and intraoperative bile culture will aid in providing appropriate antibiotic coverage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The benefit of preoperative biliary stenting in the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is controversially debated. Data from recent meta-analyses favor primary surgery for the majority of resectable pancreatic cancers. Regardless of this evidence, preoperative biliary stenting via endoscopy (EBS) is commonly performed, often before involvement of a surgeon. The goal of this study was to elucidate the association of bile duct stenting, microbiological dislocation of gut flora to the biliary compartment, and major postoperative complications. METHODS Patient data was derived from a prospectively maintained database including all pancreatic resections between January 2006 and December 2014. Patients receiving pancreaticoduodenectomy for malignant disease in the head of the pancreas with prior EBS were included. Microbiological data were obtained through conventional culture from intraoperative bile duct swabs. RESULTS Two hundred ninety-eight patients were enrolled in this study. Severe postoperative complications were associated with stent colonization: Postoperative pancreatic fistula type C occurred more frequently in E. coli-colonized patients (sample estimated odds ratio (OR) = 4.07), and the rate of lymphatic fistula was elevated in Enterococcus-colonized patients (OR = 3.25). Longer stenting duration (> 16 days) was associated with the prevalence of these bacteria. CONCLUSION Major surgical complications following pancreaticoduodenectomy, including severe pancreatic fistula, are associated with bacterobilia after EBS. The indication for bile duct stenting should be evaluated in a multidisciplinary setting.

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

Early Warning Models to Estimate the 30-Day Mortality Risk After Stent Placement for Patients with Malignant Biliary Obstruction. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol 2019; 42:1751-1759. [PMID: 31482338 DOI: 10.1007/s00270-019-02331-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2019] [Revised: 08/23/2019] [Accepted: 08/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To develop, validate, and compare early warning models of the 30-day mortality risk for patients with malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) undergoing percutaneous transhepatic biliary stent placement (PTBS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 2013 and October 2018, this multicenter retrospective study included 299 patients with MBOs who underwent PTBS. The training set consisted of 166 patients from four cohorts, and another two independent cohorts were allocated as external validation sets A and B with 75 patients and 58 patients, respectively. A logistic model and an artificial neural network (ANN) model were developed to predict the risk of 30-day mortality after PTBS. The predictive performance of these two models was validated internally and externally. RESULTS The ANN model had higher values of area under the curve than the logistic model in the training set (0.819 vs 0.797), especially in the validation sets A (0.802 vs 0.714) and B (0.732 vs 0.568). Both models had high accuracy in the three sets (75.9-83.1%). Along with a high specificity, the ANN model improved the sensitivity. The net reclassification improvement and integrated discrimination improvement also demonstrated that the ANN model led to improvements in predictive ability compared with the logistic model. CONCLUSIONS Early warning models were proposed to predict the risk of 30-day mortality after PTBS in patients with MBO. The ANN model has higher accuracy and better generalizability than the logistic model.

An analysis of early postoperative complications following biliary reconstruction of major bile duct injuries using the Modified Accordion and Anatomic, Timing Of and Mechanism classifications. Surg Open Sci 2019; 1:2-6. [PMID: 32754686 PMCID: PMC7391892 DOI: 10.1016/j.sopen.2019.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2018] [Revised: 01/09/2019] [Accepted: 01/30/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Few studies have reported patient outcome after surgical repair of bile duct injury using a standardized, validated classification system. This is the first analysis to investigate the correlation between the Anatomic, Timing Of and Mechanism classification of bile duct injury and severity of postoperative complications classified using the Modified Accordion Grading System. Methods Patients undergoing index hepaticojejunostomy repair of bile duct injury in laparoscopic cholecystectomy at a tertiary referral center from 1993-2018 were included. Patient demographics, geographic distance from referral center, time to referral, Anatomic, Timing Of and Mechanism classification and highest Modified Accordion Grade complication were retrieved from a prospective database. The primary outcome was determined using correlation statistics to assess the relationship between level of injury and severity of postoperative complication. Results One hundred and twenty-eight patients were included. There was no correlation between level of injury and severity of postoperative complication (rs(128) = –0.113, P = .203). Seventy (54.7%) patients had an injury less than 2 cm from the hepatic duct bifurcation and 52% of patients developed a postoperative complication, most mild to moderate in severity. Geographic distance resulted in substantial delays in referral (P < .001) but did not affect complication rate (P = .523). Conclusion In this prospective analysis the short-term complication rate was higher than previous retrospective reports, but the distribution of the severity of complications and spectrum of injury type were similar. There was no correlation between severity of injury and postoperative complications. Geographic distance from referral center resulted in substantial differences in referral delay but had no statistically significant effect on outcome.

Abstract
Background and objective Although pre-operative biliary drainage (PBD) is frequently performed in patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), its impact on patient survival is unclear. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of PBD on overall survival of patients with extra-hepatic CCA. Methods This was a retrospective study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare data. Patients who underwent biliary drainage within 3 months prior to and/or after diagnosis of CCA were included in the PBD cohort. Patients who did not receive biliary drainage were included in the non-PBD cohort. Cox proportional hazard regression was used to determine independent predictors of survival. Results Of 3862 patients with extra-hepatic CCA, 433 (11.2%) underwent curative surgical resection, with a median survival of 14 months (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 10–21 months) in the PBD cohort (n = 126) vs 31 months (95% CI, 26–39 months) in the non-PBD cohort (n = 307) (P < 0.001), during the median follow-up duration for the surgical cohort of 26 months (range, 1–60 months). Among the 433 patients, 126 (29.1%) underwent PBD and had significantly higher Charlson comorbidity index and advanced SEER stage than those without PBD before surgery. On multivariable analysis in patients who underwent curative surgical resection, after adjusting patient demographics, tumor characteristics, Charlson comorbidity index, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, PBD was significantly associated with shortened survival time (hazard ratio, 2.35; 95% CI, 1.34–4.10; P = 0.003). Conclusions PBD appears negative impact on long-term survival in patients with potentially resectable CCA and should be avoided if possible.

Abstract
Major hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HP) surgeries are complex procedures associated with a high incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) and are commonly performed in patients with cancer in Japan. This study was performed to investigate the risk factors for SSI, including incisional and organ/space SSI, in HP surgery. The following procedures were included in the study: hepatectomy with and without biliary tract resection, pancreatectomy [pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), others], and open cholecystectomy. In total, 735 patients were analyzed. The incidence of SSI was 17.8% (incisional, 5.2%; organ/space, 15.5%; both 2.9%). The highest incidence of SSI was observed in patients who underwent hepatectomy with biliary tract resection (39.1%), followed by pancreatectomy (PD, 28.8%; others, 29.8%). Almost all SSIs after these three procedures were classified as organ/space (39.1%, 25.0%, and 27.7%, respectively), and these procedures were risk factors for not only total SSI but also organ/space SSI in the multivariate analysis. An American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of ≥3 was a risk factor for incisional SSI. Preoperative biliary drainage, prolonged surgery, concomitant surgery, and massive intraoperative bleeding were associated with SSI. In conclusion, the main type of SSI was organ/space SSI after HP surgery, and different risk factors were identified between organ/space and incisional SSI. Procedure-related factors and preoperative biliary drainage were independent risk factors for SSI. To prevent SSI, the indication for preoperative biliary drainage should be carefully evaluated in patients undergoing HP surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) can relieve symptoms of cholestasis, but carries risk of procedural complications. Metal stents have wider lumens and longer patency, although plastic stents (PS) remain in use. We reviewed the outcomes after PBD in patients with cholestasis. METHODS Patients with symptomatic cholestasis who were likely to wait for over 2 weeks before surgery and were thus treated with PBD between January 2011 and May 2015 were included. Patients were evaluated for stenting-related complications, time interval to surgery, resection rate, improvement in bilirubin level and surgical complications. RESULTS Forty patients underwent PBD by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Of these, 36 patients received the placement of PS, one received a metal stent and the remaining three required percutaneous drainage due to unsuccessful biliary cannulation. Serum bilirubin declined from 172 μmol/L (baseline) to 14 μmol/L at 30 days (P < 0.0001). Median time interval from ERCP to surgery in all patients was 5 weeks (range 2-36 weeks). Preoperative stenting-related complications occurred in seven patients after a median of 3 weeks (range 1-6 weeks). Median time to surgery was similar in patients with and without stenting-related complications (5 weeks vs 4 weeks, respectively, P = 0.33). Surgery was completed in 32 (80%) patients, with a post-Whipple complication rate of 53%. CONCLUSIONS PBD using mostly PS was effective in reducing bilirubin levels and did not detrimentally affect time interval to surgery. Median time interval to stenting-related complication occurred after 3 weeks, suggesting PS may be most useful for short-term PBD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goals of this study were to characterize bacterial communities within fecal samples, pancreatic fluid, bile, and jejunal contents from patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and to identify associations between microbiome profiles and clinical variables. METHODS Fluid was collected from the pancreas, common bile duct, and proximal jejunum from 50 PD patients. Postoperative fecal samples were also collected. The microbial burden within samples was quantified with droplet digital polymerase chain reaction. Bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequences were amplified, sequenced, and analyzed. Data from fecal samples were compared with publicly available data obtained from volunteers. RESULTS Droplet digital polymerase chain reaction confirmed the presence of bacteria in all sample types, including pancreatic fluid. Relative to samples from the American Gut Project, fecal samples from PD patients were enriched with Klebsiella and Bacteroides and were depleted of anaerobic taxa (eg, Roseburia and Faecalibacterium). Similar patterns were observed within PD pancreas, bile, and jejunal samples. Postoperative fecal samples from patients with a pancreatic fistula contained increased abundance of Klebsiella and decreased abundance of commensal anaerobes, for example, Ruminococcus. CONCLUSIONS This study confirms the presence of altered bacterial populations within samples from PD patients. Future research must validate these findings and may evaluate targeted microbiome modifications to improve outcomes in PD patients.

Abstract
Background Acute cholangitis (AC) requires the immediate initiation of antibiotic therapy in addition to treatment for biliary obstruction. Against a background of an increasing prevalence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria, the risk factors for the failure of empiric therapy must be defined. Methods Using a pathogen-based approach, 1764 isolates from positive bile duct cultures were retrospectively analyzed to characterize the respective pathogen spectra in two German tertiary centers. Using a patient-based approach, the clinical and laboratory data for 83 patients with AC were assessed to identify risk factors for AC with pathogens resistant to the applied empiric therapy. Results Bile cultures were predominantly polymicrobial, and empiric antibiotic therapies did not cover the full biliary pathogen spectrum in 78% of cases. MDR bacteria were isolated from the bile of 24/83 (29%) patients. The univariate risk factors for biliary MDR bacteria were male sex, nosocomial AC, prior antibiotic exposure and prior biliary stenting, of which biliary stenting was the only independent risk factor according to multivariate analysis (OR = 3.8; 95% CI 1.3–11.0, P = 0.013). Although there were no significant differences in survival or hospital stay in AC patients with and without detected biliary MDR pathogens, the former more often had a concomitant bloodstream infection (58% vs. 24%; P = 0.019), including those involving MDR pathogens or fungi (21% vs. 2%; P = 0.007). Conclusion Patients with biliary stents who develop AC should receive empiric therapy covering enterococci and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae. These patients are at an increased risk for bloodstream infections by MDR pathogens or fungi.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatobiliary surgery with biliodigestive anastomosis (BDA) results in a loss of the sphincter of Oddi with consecutive ascension of bacteria into the bile system which may cause cholangitis in the postoperative course. METHODS Patients who received reconstruction with a BDA after hepatobiliary surgery were analyzed retrospectively for their postoperative course of disease depending on intraoperatively obtained bile cultures and antibiotic prophylaxis. RESULTS Two hundred forty-three patients were included in the analysis, 49.4 % of whom had received endoscopic stenting before the operation. Stenting was significantly associated with the presence of drug-resistant bacteria in the intraoperatively obtained bile sample (p < 0.001, OR = 4.09). Of all patients, 14.4 % developed postoperative cholangitis. This was significantly associated with the postoperative length of stay in the intensive care unit (p = 0.002, OR = 1.035). The highest incidence of postoperative cholangitis was found in patients with cholangiocellular carcinoma (n = 12, p = 0.046, OR = 2.178). Patients were more likely to harbor strains with resistance against the antibiotic that was given intraoperatively. CONCLUSION The risk for the presence of drug-resistant bacteria is increased by preoperative stenting of the common bile duct. Bile culture by intraoperative swabs can be altered by the perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis as it induces microbiological selection in the common bile duct.

Epidemiology and Resistance Patterns of Bacterial and Fungal Colonization of Biliary Plastic Stents: A Prospective Cohort Study. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0155479.

Abstract
Background Plastic stents used for the treatment of biliary obstruction will become occluded over time due to microbial colonization and formation of biofilms. Treatment of stent-associated cholangitis is often not effective because of inappropriate use of antimicrobial agents or antimicrobial resistance. We aimed to assess the current bacterial and fungal etiology of stent-associated biofilms, with particular emphasis on antimicrobial resistance. Methods Patients with biliary strictures requiring endoscopic stent placement were prospectively enrolled. After the retrieval of stents, biofilms were disrupted by sonication, microorganisms were cultured, and isolates were identified by matrix-associated laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry and/or biochemical typing. Finally, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined for various antimicrobial agents. Selected stents were further analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Results Among 120 patients (62.5% males, median age 64 years) with biliary strictures (35% malignant, 65% benign), 113 double pigtail polyurethane and 100 straight polyethylene stents were analyzed after a median indwelling time of 63 days (range, 1–1274 days). The stent occlusion rate was 11.5% and 13%, respectively, being associated with a significantly increased risk of cholangitis (38.5% vs. 9.1%, P<0.001). Ninety-five different bacterial and 13 fungal species were detected; polymicrobial colonization predominated (95.8% vs. 4.2%, P<0.001). Enterococci (79.3%), Enterobacteriaceae (73.7%), and Candida spp. (55.9%) were the leading pathogens. Candida species were more frequent in patients previously receiving prolonged antibiotic therapy (63% vs. 46.7%, P = 0.023). Vancomycin-resistant enterococci accounted for 13.7%, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae with co-resistance to ciprofloxacin accounted for 13.9%, and azole-resistant Candida spp. accounted for 32.9% of the respective isolates. Conclusions Enterococci and Candida species play an important role in the microbial colonization of biliary stents. Therefore, empirical antimicrobial treatment of stent-associated cholangitis should be guided toward enterococci, Enterobacteriaceae, streptococci, anaerobes, and Candida. To determine causative pathogens, an accurate microbiological analysis of the extracted stent(s) may be helpful.

Extended Perioperative Antibiotic Coverage in Conjunction with Intraoperative Bile Cultures Decreases Infectious Complications after Pancreaticoduodenectomy. HPB SURGERY : A WORLD JOURNAL OF HEPATIC, PANCREATIC AND BILIARY SURGERY 2016; 2016:3031749.

Abstract
Background. Bile contamination from the digestive tract is a well-known risk factor for postoperative complications. Despite the literature concerning prevalence of bacterobilia and fungobilia in patients with biliary pathologies, there are no specific recommendations for perioperative antimicrobial coverage for biliary/pancreatic procedures. We evaluated the effect of at least 72 hours of perioperative broad spectrum antibiotic coverage on outcomes of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Materials and Methods. A retrospective review of all patients at Case Medical Center of Case Western Reserve University undergoing PD procedure, from 2006 to 2011, was performed (n = 122). Perioperative data including demographics, comorbidities, biliary instrumentation, antibiotic coverage, culture results, and postoperative outcomes were analyzed. Propensity score matching method was used to match the patients according to duration of antibiotic coverage into two groups: 72 hours (A72) and 24 hours (A24). Results. Longer broad spectrum antibiotic coverage in group A72 resulted in significantly less surgical site infections after PD, compared to routine 24 hours of perioperative antibiotics in group A24. This study did not reveal a statistically significant decrease in postoperative fungal infections in patients receiving preoperative antifungals. Conclusion. Prolonged perioperative antibiotic therapy in conjunction with intraoperative bile cultures decreases the short-term infectious complications of PD, with no significant increase in Clostridium difficile colitis incidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are several studies regarding risk factors affecting surgical site infections (SSIs); nevertheless, there are an insufficient number of studies focusing on risk factors for SSI in hepatobiliary (HPB) surgery. In this study, we aimed to determine risk factors related to HPB surgery. METHODS A total of 1,418 patients were included in this study, all of whom underwent hepatobiliary system surgery in a five-year period between January 2005 and December 2009. Demographic data, patient- and surgery-related risk factors, and laboratory parameters were analyzed retrospectively from a database maintained prospectively. RESULTS The overall incidence of SSI was 3.94% for HPB surgery. In multivariable analysis, blood transfusion (OR: 20.9), the presence of surgical drains (OR: 10.7), a pre-operative hospital stay of more than eight days (OR: 8.1), diabetes mellitus (OR: 6.2), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR: 6.127), inappropriate antimicrobial prophylaxis (OR: 6), obesity (OR: 3.2), the presence of an external-internal biliary drainage catheter (OR: 2), and a direct bilirubin concentrations more than 15 mg/dL (OR: 1.4) were determined as independent risk factors related to SSI. E.coli and Enterococcus spp. were the pathogens isolated most commonly in SSIs. CONCLUSIONS Most of the independent risk factors for hepatobiliary system surgery are similar to those for other general abdominal surgical procedures. The presence of an external-internal biliary drainage catheter and direct bilirubin concentrations higher than 15 mg/dL were found to be specific risk factors for HPB surgery.

Abstract
Purpose: Percutaneous transhepatic primary biliary stenting (PS) is an alternative to the widely used staged procedure (secondary biliary stenting, SS) for treating obstructive jaundice in cancer patients. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of PS and SS, a retrospective analysis was carried out. Materials and Methods: The percutaneous biliary stenting procedures performed between January 2000 and December 2007 at one hepatobiliary center were retrospectively analyzed, comparing the technical success rates, complications, and length of hospitalization of the two procedures. Of 61 patients (mean age 65.5 ± 13.1 years; range 31.1-92.7 years) suffering from obstructive jaundice caused by primary or metastatic tumors, 30 received PS and 31 received SS. The groups were comparable in the anatomical level of the obstruction, stent configuration, or the concurrent presence of cholangitis. Placement of metallic stents required one session for patients in the PS group and an average of 2.6 ± 1.1 sessions for patients in the SS group. Results: The overall technical success rate was 98.4% with 1 (1/61) failed approach to transcend the occlusion in the SS group. The rate of minor complications was 10% in the PS group and 6.5% in the SS group. The corresponding rates of major complications were 23.3% and 54.8%, respectively. SS patients had a higher rate of complications in general (P < 0.05), as well as a higher rate of severe complications in particular (P < 0.05). Procedural mortality was 0% for both the groups. The mean overall length of hospitalization was 7.7 ± 9.6 days for PS and 20.6 ± 19.6 days for SS (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Primary percutaneous biliary stenting of malignant biliary obstructions is as efficacious and safer than a staged procedure with secondary stenting. By virtue of requiring shorter hospital stays, primary stenting is likely to be more cost-effective.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Joint Commission Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) includes performance measures aimed at reducing surgical site infections (SSI). One measure defines approved perioperative antibiotics for general operative procedures. However, there may be a subset of procedures not adequately covered with the use of approved antibiotics. We hypothesized that piperacillin-tazobactam is a more appropriate perioperative antibiotic for pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). METHODS In collaboration with hospital epidemiology and the Division of Infectious Diseases, we retrospectively reviewed records of 34 patients undergoing PD between March and May 2008 who received SCIP-approved perioperative antibiotics and calculated the SSI rate. After changing our perioperative antibiotic to piperacillin-tazobactam, we prospectively reviewed PDs performed between June 2008 and March 2009 and compared the SSI rates before and after the change. RESULTS For 34 patients from March through May 2008, the SSI rate for PD was 32.4 per 100 cases. Common organisms from wound cultures were Enterobacter and Enterococcus (50.0% and 41.7%, respectively), and these were cefoxitin resistant. From June 2008 through March 2009, 106 PDs were performed. During this period, the SSI rate was 6.6 per 100 surgeries, 80% lower than during March through May 2008 (relative risk, 0.204; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.086-0.485; P = .0004). CONCLUSION Use of piperacillin-tazobactam as a perioperative antibiotic in PD may reduce SSI compared with the use of SCIP-approved antibiotics. Continued evaluation of SCIP performance measures in relationship to patient outcomes is integral to sustained quality improvement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) for distal bile duct obstruction may increase post-operative complications. This study examined the effect of PBD on positive bile culture (PBC) rates and complications after biliary bypass or pancreaticoduodenectomy. Bilirubin levels in the non-PBD cohort were also analysed to determine the impact on outcome. METHODS A retrospective case-note analysis from 2005 to the present day was undertaken. Statistical analysis was undertaken using Students's t-test, chi-squared test, receiver operator characteristics, correlation coefficient and relative risk ratios. RESULTS A total of 422 patients were identified undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy or biliary bypass for either benign or malignant distal biliary obstruction. One hundred ninety-six patients had complete data regarding PBD and bile cultures. PBD resulted in a significantly higher relative risk of both infectious complications and positive bile cultures. Overall complication rate was greater in patients undergoing PBD. The major complication rate was equivalent between the two groups. Bilirubin levels in the non-PBD cohort did not correlate or predict length of stay, high-dependency stay, and mortality or complication rate. CONCLUSION There seems to be little value in PBD for patients with distal biliary obstruction other than to defer definitive surgery to a non-emergency setting. For most hepato-pancreato-biliary units, avoidance of PBD will prove logistically difficult.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In pancreatic surgery, preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) leads to bacteribilia. Whether positive bile duct cultures are associated with a higher postoperative morbidity might be related to the resistance of the species isolated from bile. STUDY Intraoperative bile duct cultures were collected from all patients who underwent pancreatic surgery. Postoperative morbidity was analyzed according to the species and the resistance found on bile duct cultures. RESULTS Fifty-five percent (166/301) of patients had PBD, while 45% (135/301) underwent primary operation. PBD was associated with a positive bile duct culture in 87% (144/166) versus 21% (28/135) in patients without PBD (p = 0.001) and polymicrobial infections in 53% (88/166) versus 6% (8/135) (p = 0.001). Postoperative morbidity was 40% (121/301); mortality was 3% (9/301). PBD was not associated with morbidity and mortality, but resistant species on bile duct cultures lead to significantly more postoperative complications, 54% (25/46) versus 38% (96/255) (p = 0.033), with significantly more antibiotic therapies. CONCLUSION PBD is associated with polymicrobial infections with resistant microorganisms, resulting in more postoperative complications. Since PBD cannot always be avoided, surgeons and gastroenterologists must be aware of their institutional surveillance data to identify patients at risk for postoperative complications.

Abstract
Complete surgical resection still remains the only possibility of curing pancreatic cancer, however, only 10% of patients undergo curative surgery. Pancreatic resection currently remains the only method of curing patients, and has a 5-year overall survival rate between 7%-34% compared to a median survival of 3-11 mo for unresected cancer. Pancreatic surgery is a technically demanding procedure requiring highly standardized surgical techniques. Nevertheless, even in experienced hands, perioperative morbidity rates (delayed gastric emptying, pancreatic fistula etc.) are as high as 50%. Different strategies to reduce postoperative morbidity, such as different techniques of gastroenteric reconstruction (pancreatico-jejunostomy vs pancreatico-gastrostomy), intraoperative placement of a pancreatic main duct stent or temporary sealing of the main pancreatic duct with fibrin glue have not led to a significant improvement in clinical outcome. The perioperative application of somatostatin or its analogues may decrease the incidence of pancreatic fistulas in cases with soft pancreatic tissue and a small main pancreatic duct (< 3 mm). The positive effects of external pancreatic main duct drainage and antecolic gastrointestinal reconstruction have been observed to decrease the rate of pancreatic fistulas and delayed gastric emptying, respectively. Currently, the concept of extended radical lymphadenectomy has been found to be associated with higher perioperative morbidity, but without any positive impact on overall survival. However, there is growing evidence that portal vein resections can be performed with acceptable low perioperative morbidity and mortality but does not achieve a cure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infection control is potentially a critical quality indicator but remains incompletely understood, especially in high-acuity gastrointestinal surgery. Our objective was to evaluate the incidence and impact of infections after elective pancreatectomy at the practice level. METHODS All pancreatectomies performed by three pancreatic surgical specialists over an 8-year period (2001-2009) followed standardized perioperative care, including timely antibiotic administration. Infections were defined according to National Surgery Quality Improvement Program criteria, while complication severity was based on Clavien grade. Clinical and economic outcomes were evaluated and predictors of infection identified by regression analysis. RESULTS Of 550 major pancreatic resections, 288 (53%) had some complication, of which 167 (31%) were infectious. Rates of infection differed by type of resection (proximal pancreatectomy > others; P = .029) but not by presence of malignancy. Major infections (Clavien 3-5; n = 62), occurred in 11% of cases. Infection was not the primary cause of death in any patient. Infection was associated with increases in hospital stay, operative times, transfusions, blood loss, intensive care unit use, and readmission (34% vs 12%). Types of infection were as follows: wound infection (14%), infected pancreatic fistula (9%), urinary tract infection (7%), pneumonia (6%), and sepsis (2%). The use of total parenteral nutrition (odds ratio [OR], 7.3), coronary artery disease (OR, 2.1), and perioperative hypotension (OR, 1.6) predicted any infection. Total costs for cases with infection increased grade-for-grade across the Clavien scale, with infection accounting for 38% of the overall cost differential. CONCLUSION Infectious complications occurred frequently, compromising numerous outcomes and increasing costs markedly. These data provide a foundation for understanding the baseline consequences of infection in high-acuity gastrointestinal surgery and offer opportunities for process evaluation and initiatives in infection control at the practice level.

Abstract
Several advances in genetics, diagnosis and palliation of pancreatic cancer (PC) have occurred in the last decades. A multidisciplinary approach to this disease is therefore recommended. PC is relatively common as it is the fourth leading cause of cancer related mortality. Most patients present with obstructive jaundice, epigastric or back pain, weight loss and anorexia. Despite improvements in diagnostic modalities, the majority of cases are still detected in advanced stages. The only curative treatment for PC remains surgical resection. No more than 20% of patients are candidates for surgery at the time of diagnosis and survival remains quite poor as adjuvant therapies are not very effective. A small percentage of patients with borderline non-resectable PC might benefit from neo-adjuvant chemoradiation therapy enabling them to undergo resection; however, randomized controlled studies are needed to prove the benefits of this strategy. Patients with unresectable PC benefit from palliative interventions such as biliary decompression and celiac plexus block. Further clinical trials to evaluate new chemo and radiation protocols as well as identification of genetic markers for PC are needed to improve the overall survival of patients affected by PC, as the current overall 5-year survival rate of patients affected by PC is still less than 5%. The aim of this article is to review the most recent high quality literature on this topic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES No conclusive evidence exists confirming the role of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) in reversing the physiological disturbances resulting from biliary obstruction to improve outcome. This review examined the impact of PBD and the outcomes after surgery. METHODS A PubMed literature search was undertaken using the keywords preoperative, biliary, and drainage. The primary end points were the effect of PBD on mortality, morbidity, and bile cultures. The secondary outcome measures were PBD and pancreatic leakage, intra-abdominal abscess, sepsis/infectious complications, wound infection, hemorrhage, and bile leak rates. The impact of bile cultures positive for bacteria and the outcomes after surgery were also examined. RESULTS Preoperative biliary drainage significantly increases wound and bile infection rates on meta-analysis (P < 0.0005) using a fixed and random effect model, but no adverse effect on mortality and morbidity was found. A bile culture positive for bacteria negatively impacts on both mortality and morbidity (P < 0.005) after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative biliary drainage significantly increases the rates of bile culture positive for bacteria and the probability of wound infection. Bile cultures positive for bacteria adversely impact mortality and morbidity after surgery in jaundiced patients. Although no evidence has been found by this review that PBD directly increases mortality and morbidity, it is possible that in certain patients, PBD may deleteriously affect outcome by bacterial contamination of the bile.

Preoperative resolution of jaundice following biliary stenting predicts more favourable early survival in resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Ann Surg Oncol 2008; 15:3138-46. [PMID: 18787902 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-008-0148-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 59] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2008] [Revised: 08/12/2008] [Accepted: 08/12/2008] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite the widespread use of endoscopic biliary stenting in patients presenting with potentially resectable pancreatic cancer, there is no general consensus regarding whether this represents a superior management approach over expeditious surgical intervention. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of preoperative biliary stenting and resolution of jaundice on subsequent postoperative survival following resection for pancreatic cancer. METHODS 155 patients undergoing partial pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma between January 1997 and August 2007 were identified from a prospectively maintained database. RESULTS There was no survival difference when comparing patients undergoing preoperative biliary drainage (n = 130) with those who did not (n = 25) (log rank, P = 0.981). When analysing individual prognostic factors as continuous variables in univariate Cox analysis, lower albumin levels (P = 0.016), elevated alkaline phosphatase levels (P = 0.011) and elevated CRP levels (P = 0.021) were associated with poorer overall survival. Multivariable Cox regression demonstrated that both albumin (P = 0.008) and CRP (P = 0.038) remained significant independent predictors of overall survival alongside lymph node ratio (P = 0.018). Although preoperative bilirubin levels were not associated with overall survival when analysed as a continuous variable (Cox, P = 0.786), the presence of jaundice (i.e., bilirubin >35 micromol/l) at the time of surgery was a significant adverse predictor of early survival in patients undergoing preoperative biliary drainage (Breslow-Gehan-Wilcoxon, P = 0.013) and remained a significant predictor of early survival when included in a further Cox analysis with censoring of cases who survived beyond 6 months (Cox, P = 0.017). CONCLUSION These results suggest that the presence of jaundice at the time of resection has an adverse impact on early, but not overall, postoperative survival in pancreatic cancer patients undergoing preoperative biliary drainage.
