Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim: To study structural disorders of the liver depending on the duration of subhepatic cholestasis in patients of different age groups. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods: 50 obstructive jaundice patients were subdivided into two groups. Group I (n = 25) consisted of young (18-44-year-old) and middle-aged patients (45-59-year-old), while the Group II (n = 25) included elderly (60-74-year-old) and senile patients (75-90-year-old). RESULTS Results: We performed morphological and morphometric studies of 50 liver biopsy specimens taken from patients of different age groups with different duration of obstructive jaundice: less than 7 days, 7-14 days, 14-21 days, 21-28 days, and over 28 days. CONCLUSION Conclusions: In patients of the Groups I and II, pathological hepatic changes in the early stages of mechanical jaundice were manifested in the form of he-patocyte dystrophy and hepatitis development. In the Group I patients, manifestations of steatohepatitis, fibrosis and initial signs of liver cirrhosis were noted in the late stages of subhepatic cholestasis. In addition to the above-mentioned changes, Group II patients, in the late stages of mechanical jaundice, presented signs of severe fibrosis and well-shaped liver cirrhosis. Taking into account the above morphological changes in the liver with different duration of subhepatic cholestasis, we consider reasonable to decompress bile ducts in patients of older age groups at earlier stages of mechanical jaundice compared to young and middle-aged patients, thus preventing post-decompression liver dysfunction and the subsequent development of biliary cirrhosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the USA. Although management strategies have evolved, there are continued controversies about the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and pretreatment biliary drainage (PBD) in patients with resectable and potentially resectable disease. AIMS We aimed to characterize the practice trends and outcomes for NAC and PBD. METHODS A single-center cohort study was performed. Electronic medical records were reviewed between 2011 and 2019, and 140 patients who had pancreaticoduodenectomy for PDAC were included. Diagnosis, treatment, and outcome data were captured. RESULTS There were no statistically significant temporal trends relating to the use of chemotherapy and PBD. Overall, 41% of patients received NAC and had improved survival, independent of other factors. Of the 71% who received PBD, only 40% had appropriate indications; 30% experienced postprocedure complications, and 34% required reintervention. Factors associated with the application of PBD included preoperative jaundice (OR 70.5, 95% CI 21.4-306.6) and evaluation by non-tertiary therapeutic endoscopists (OR 3.9, 95% CI 1.3-13.6). PBD was associated with a 12-day delay in surgery among those who did not receive NAC (p = 0.005), but there were no differences in surgical complications or mortality. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that (1) NAC may confer a survival benefit and (2) PBD should be reserved for individuals with jaundice requiring NAC. Implementation of guidelines by North American gastroenterology societies, multidisciplinary treatment models, and delivery of care at high-volume tertiary centers may help optimize management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) on outcomes of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in patients with biliary obstruction. METHODS We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, and Web of Science from database inception to 11 March 2021. We used the ROBINS-I tool and Cochrane risk of bias tool 2.0 to assess the risk of bias. The data were statistically analyzed using the RevMan software (Version 5.4). RESULTS In all, 43 studies, including 23,076 patients, were analyzed, of which 13,922 patients were treated with PBD and 9154 were treated with no preoperative biliary drainage (NPBD). The morbidity , infection morbidity , and postoperative pancreatic fistulae (POPF) in patients undergoing PBD, were significantly higher than those in patients undergoing NPBD. Further, PBD may lead to a significantly worse 2- and 3-year overall survival (OS) rates . In subgroup meta-analysis, the differences in morbidity, POPF, and OS outcomes lost significance between the PBD and NPBD groups when the mean total serum bilirubin (TSB) concentration was below 15 mg/dl. CONCLUSIONS Routine PBD still cannot be recommended because it showed no beneficial effect on postoperative outcomes. However, in patients with < 15 mg/dl TSB concentration, PBD tends to be a better choice.

The Effect of Preoperative Biliary Drainage with or without Pancreatic Stenting on Complications after Pancreatoduodenectomy: A Retrospective Cohort Study. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:5572395. [PMID: 33997014 PMCID: PMC8105100 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5572395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2021] [Revised: 04/10/2021] [Accepted: 04/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Background The necessity of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) prior to pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is still controversial. However, in some settings, PBD with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure is recommended as a preferred management. Meanwhile, pancreatic duct stenting in the drainage procedure is rarely performed for selected indications, and its associated complications after PD remain quite unknown. Methods A retrospective observational longitudinal cohort study was performed on patients who underwent PBD and PD from a prospectively maintained database at the National Cancer Center from March of 2015 to July of 2019. Patients who underwent biliary stenting alone, biliary and pancreatic stenting, were distributed into two study cohort groups, and their records were scrutinized for the incidence of postoperative complications. Results A total of 83 patients who underwent successful PD after biliary drainage were identified. 29 patients underwent nasobiliary drainage (ENBD)/plastic or metal bile duct stenting (BS) and pancreatic duct stenting (PS group), and 54 patients underwent only ENBD/BS, without pancreatic duct stenting (NPS group). No differences were found between the two groups with respect to in-hospital time, overall complication rate, respective rate of serious (grade 3 or higher) complication rate, bile anastomotic leakage, bleeding, abdominal infection, surgical wound infection, organ dysfunction, and pancreatic anastomotic leakage. Postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction rates differed significantly, which occurred in 3 (5.56%) cases in the NPS group, compared with 6 (20.7%) cases in the PS group (P = 0.06). In the univariate and multivariate regression model analysis, pancreatic duct stenting was correlated with higher rates of gastrointestinal dysfunction [odds ratio (OR) = 4.25, P = 0.0472]. Conclusion Our data suggested that PBD and pancreatic duct stenting prior to pancreatoduodenectomy would increase the risk of postoperative delayed gastric emptying, while the overall incidence of postoperative complications and other complications, such as pancreatic leakage and bile duct leakage, showed no statistical difference.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have documented increased complications following pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients who undergo preoperative biliary stenting (PBS). However, in the modern era, the vast majority of patients with jaundice are stented. We hypothesized that there is no difference in short-term postoperative outcomes between PBS and no PBS in patient with obstructive jaundice undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODS We performed an analysis using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) participant use file (2014-2017). Patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and required stenting were excluded from the analysis. A propensity-matched analysis was performed to select obstructive jaundice patients who underwent PBS and those who did not with similar characteristics prior to pancreaticoduodenectomy. Short-term postoperative outcome measures included superficial surgical site infection (S-SSI), deep surgical site infection (D-SSI), hospital length of stay (LOS), postoperative pancreatic fistula (POF), hospital readmission, minor morbidity (Clavien-Dindo I-II), major morbidity (Clavien-Dindo III, IV, V), and 30-day mortality. RESULTS A total of 5851 patients with obstructive jaundice underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy without neoadjuvant chemotherapy. 81.6% underwent PBS. Based on the propensity-matched analysis, 927 patients who received PBS and 927 patients who did not were selected for comparing the outcomes between the two groups. There was no significant difference in outcome measures between the two groups with respect to S-SSI (OR 1.30 , 95% CI = 0.94-1.80, p = 0.12), D-SSI (OR 1.07, 95% CI = 0.81-1.41, p = 0.62), POF (OR 1.11, 95% CI = 0.87-1.42, p = 0.40), hospital readmission (OR 0.99, 95% CI = 0.77-1.27, p = 0.94), minor morbidity (OR 0.91, 95% CI = 0.76-1.11, p = 0.36), major morbidity (OR 0.84, 95% CI = 0.67-1.06, p = 0.14), and 30-day mortality (OR 1.05, 95% CI = 0.57-1.95, p = 0.87). Patients who underwent PBS were more likely to have shorter LOS (RR 0.87, 95% CI = 0.81-0.93, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Contrary to previously reported studies, there was no increased risk of short-term postoperative outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy between PBS and N-PBS in a propensity-matched analysis. Preoperative biliary stenting is safe and does not need to be avoided before surgical intervention in patients who present with obstructive jaundice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biliary stenting leads to antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) microorganism retrievement in bile cultures. However, the impact of intraoperative bile colonizations on post-pancreaticoduodenectomy complications remains unclear. Aims of our study were to characterize the bile flora of stented patients in comparison with postoperative cultures and to analyze whether patterns of drug resistance affected postoperative outcomes. METHODS We analyzed records from stent-bearing pancreaticoduodenectomy patients at 3 European centers. Intra- and postoperative cultures were compared and classified as multidrug sensitive (MDS), multidrug resistant (MDR), and extensively drug resistant (XDR). Thirty-day complications were graded according to international standards. RESULTS Out of 270 patients, intraoperative cultures were positive in 219 (81.1%) cases. In 36.7%, MDS species were isolated; in 35.9%, MDR; and in 8.5%, XDR species. A solid correspondence between the species isolated intra- and postoperatively (p < 0.001) was observed. Intraoperative MDR/XDR isolation was associated with an increased rate of surgical (p = 0.043) and infectious complications (p = 0.030), but not severe complication rate (p = 0.973). Postoperative MDR/XDR isolation was associated with higher risk of major complications (45.6% vs. 15.8%, p < 0.001), postoperative pancreatic fistula (p < 0.001), and post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (p = 0.002). By multivariate analysis, intraoperative AMR isolation was associated with high likelihood of postoperative AMR infections. However, only in 43/121 cases, intraoperative MDR/XDR microorganisms turned into the occurrence of postoperative infections. CONCLUSION Intraoperative AMR isolates do not translate into severe outcomes, despite being significantly associated with surgical and infectious complications.

Abstract
AIM To study postoperative complications and mortality after minimally invasive biliary decompression in patients with mechanical jaundice. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospective analysis included 2.072 patients with mechanical jaundice who underwent differential biliary decompression depending on the cause, level of obstruction, severity of jaundice and patient's condition. RESULTS Relief of bilirubinemia and stabilization of the state were achieved in 1696 patients of the main group (98,6%) and in 328 (93.18%) patients of the control group. Mortality was similar in both groups: 8 (0.46%) and 2 (0.56%) patients. The best results were obtained in the main group for in-hospital and post-hospital complications after retrograde interventions (χ2=4.440821; df=0.891435; p<0.05) and post-hospital complications after antegrade interventions (χ2=35.52869; df= 1; p<0.05). CONCLUSION Differentiated approach to minimally invasive biliary decompression is followed by reduced postoperative morbidity.

Abstract
Background In 2010, a multicentre randomized controlled trial reported increased postoperative complications in pancreaticoduodenectomy (pde) patients undergoing preoperative biliary decompression (pbd). We evaluated the effect of that publication on rates of pbd at the population level. Methods This retrospective observational cohort study identified patients undergoing pde for malignancy, 2005-2013, linking them with administrative health care databases covering medical services for a population of 13.5 million. Patients undergoing pbd within 6 weeks before their surgery were identified using physician billing codes and were divided into those undergoing pde before and after article publication, with a 6-month washout period. Chi-square tests were used to compare rates of pbd. Results Of 1997 pde patients identified, 963 underwent surgery before article publication, and 911, after (123 during the washout period). The rate of pbd was 47.5% before publication, and 41.6% after (p = 0.01). The lowest pbd rates occurred immediately after publication, in 2010 and 2011. Similar results were observed when the cohort was restricted to patients seen preoperatively by a gastroenterologist (n = 1412). Conclusions Rates of pbd have declined a small, but significant, amount after randomized trial publication. Persistence of pbd might relate to suboptimal knowledge translation, the role of pbd in diagnosis of periampullary malignancy, and treatment of complications (cholangitis, severe hyperbilirubinemia) or anticipation of delay from diagnosis to surgery. The nadir in pbd rates after article publication and the subsequent rise suggest an element of transience in the effect of article publication on clinical practice. Further investigation into the reasons for persistent pbd is needed.

Abstract
Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) prior to pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) has gained popularity as bridge management to resolve jaundice, but its role is being challenged as it is thought to increase morbidity. To clarify the current recommendations for PBD prior to PD, we reviewed the literature, including all relevant articles published in English up until December, 2015. There is increasing evidence that PBD causes bile infection, which is related to the morbidity of infectious complications. Results of transhepatic drainage are poorer than those of endoscopic stenting, especially in an oncologic setting, although it is still unclear whether metallic stents are superior to nasobiliary drainage. PBD should be avoided whenever possible and performed only in selected cases, such as the emergency setting, an inevitable long delay (>4 weeks) before PD, and jaundice-related anorexia. Seemingly, transhepatic drainage should be reserved for refractory cases if endoscopic drainage is not possible. Further studies comparing endoscopic drainage techniques, such as metallic stents and nasobiliary drainage, are required to assess the most effective technique of PBD. Bile infection should be prevented by adequate antibiotic prophylaxis and treated even in the absence of symptoms, and bile status should be assessed systematically.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. The aim of this meta-analysis is to investigate the role of PBD in the treatment of potentially resectable HCC. METHODS All studies reporting outcomes on patients with PBD vs without PBD were included. A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for studies published between 1980 and 2016. RESULTS Initial search identified 667 articles. Only 9 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in this analysis. No significant differences in mortality were observed between the two groups (RR = 0,935; 95% CI = 0,612 to 1429; p = 0,463). Overall morbidity was significantly higher in PBD group (RR = 1266; 95% CI = 1039 to 1543; p = 0,011). No significant differences in transfusion rate, hospital stay, anastomotic leaks, abdominal collections and operative time, were found. Wound infections were significantly higher in PBD group. CONCLUSIONS PBD seems to be associated with higher postoperative morbidity and increases the risk of wound infections. Further prospective studies are needed to better define the impact of PBD in outcomes after surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
