Abstract
PURPOSE The effects of subcuticular sutures on postoperative and cosmetic outcomes in patients who underwent liver resection have not been well studied. Here, we investigated the advantages of subcuticular suture compared to skin stapler regarding open liver resection. METHODS We assessed 342 patients who underwent liver resection at Nara Medical University between 2008 and 2015. They were divided into two groups: subcuticular suture and staple groups. Baseline characteristics and perioperative outcomes were retrospectively compared using one-to-one propensity score matching analysis. RESULTS In this period, 179 patients underwent skin closure with subcuticular sutures and 163 patients underwent skin closure with staples. After propensity matching, 85 pairs of cases were matched. The incidence of wound infection was similar in the two groups (3.5% in the subcuticular suture group and 9.4% in the staple group; p = 0.119). The length of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the subcuticular suture group than in the staple group (10 days vs 15 days; p < 0.001). In addition, the rate of patients who were discharged within 7 days after surgery was statistically higher in the subcuticular group (21.1% vs 3.5%, p = 0.001). Hypertrophic scar 6 months after surgery was significantly less frequent in the subcuticular group (9.4% vs 25.9%, p = 0.010). CONCLUSION Subcuticular sutures might be advantageous for liver surgery reducing length of hospital stay and proportion of hypertrophic scar.

Effect and Safety of Prophylactic Parecoxib for Pain Control of Transarterial Chemoembolization in Liver Cancer: A Single-Center, Parallel-Group, Randomized Trial. J Am Coll Radiol 2021; 19:61-70. [PMID: 34736908 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacr.2021.09.029] [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: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 09/24/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pain is one of the most common side effects of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. The goal of this study is to compare the analgesic effect among celecoxib, parecoxib, and oxycodone in patients undergoing TACE. METHODS This prospective study was a randomized, paralleled trial in which 213 patients were enrolled. Patients were assigned at the ratio of 1:1:1 to receive celecoxib, parecoxib, or controlled-release oxycodone 1 hour before TACE (T0) and once every 12 hours for 2 days after TACE. Pain scores, pain intensity, and adverse events in each time interval were evaluated and compared among the 3 groups. RESULTS The mean pain score 12 hours after T0 in the parecoxib group (2.8) was lower than that in the celecoxib (4.4; P = .001) and oxycodone groups (4.2; P = .005). The number of patients suffering severe pain was 10 (14.7%) in the parecoxib, 25 (36.8%) in the celecoxib, and 23 (32.9%) in the oxycodone groups (P = .009). Twelve hours after T0, the incidence of grade 3 vomiting in the parecoxib group (2.9%) was significantly lower than that in the oxycodone group (17.1%; P = .006). In the multivariate analysis, nonparecoxib prophylactic analgesia (odds ratio [OR], 4.620; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.877-11.370; P = .001) as well as embolization of the gallbladder (OR, 8.666; 95% CI, 2.402-31.262; P = .001) and normal liver parenchyma (OR, 3.278; 95% CI, 1.409-7.627; P = .006) were the independent factors of severe pain intensity 12 hours after T0. CONCLUSION Parecoxib is superior to oxycodone and celecoxib for pain control with fewer adverse events. Therefore, we recommend parecoxib as a priority strategy for TACE-related pain control.

In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation of Core-Shell Mesoporous Silica as a Promising Water-Insoluble Drug Delivery System: Improving the Dissolution Rate and Bioavailability of Celecoxib With Needle-Like Crystallinity. J Pharm Sci 2019; 108:3225-3232.

Abstract
The objective of our study was to prepare mesoporous silica nanoparticles with a core-shell structure (CSMSNs) and improve the dissolution and bioavailability of celecoxib (Cxb), a water-insoluble drug, by changing its needle-like crystal form. CSMSNs are prepared by a core-shell segmentation self-assembly method. The SBET and Vt of CSMSNs were 890.65 m2/g and 1.23 cm3/g, respectively. Cxb was incorporated into CSMSNs by the solvent evaporation method. The gastrointestinal irritancy of the CSMSNs was evaluated by a gastric mucosa irritation test. In vitro dissolution and in vivo pharmacokinetic tests were carried out to study the improvement in the dissolution behavior and oral bioavailability of Cxb. In conclusion, gastric mucosa irritation study indicated the good biocompatibility of CSMSNs. The cumulative dissolution of CSMSNs-Cxb is 86.2% within 60 min in SIF solution, which may be ascribed to the crystal form change caused by control of the nanochannel for CSMSNs. Moreover, CSMSNs could enhance the 9.9-fold AUC of Cxb. The cumulative dissolution and bioavailability of Cxb were both significantly enhanced by CSMSNs. CSMSNs with a core-shell structure are suitable as a carrier for a poorly water-soluble drug (Cxb).

Abstract
BACKGROUND With a focus on providing high quality care and reducing facility based expenses there has been an evolution in perioperative care by way of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). ERAS allows for a multidisciplinary and multimodal approach to perioperative care which not only expedites recovery but maximizes patient outcomes. This paradigm shift has been generally accepted by most surgical specialties, including plastic surgery. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of ERAS on outcomes in cosmetic plastic surgery. METHODS A prospective study consisting of phone call questionnaires was designed where patients from two senior plastic surgeons (N.H.R. and J.D.F.) were followed. The treatment group (n = 10) followed an ERAS protocol while the control group (n = 12) followed the traditional recovery after surgery which included narcotic usage. Patients were contacted on postoperative days (POD) 0 through 7+ and surveyed about a number of outcomes measures. RESULTS The ERAS group demonstrated a significant reduction in postoperative pain on POD 0, 1, 2, and 3 (all P < 0.01). There was also statistically less nausea/vomiting, fatigue/drowsiness, constipation, and hindrance on ambulation compared to the control group (all P < 0.05). Significance was achieved for reduction in fatigue/drowsiness on POD 0 and 1 (P < 0.01), as well as ability to ambulate on POD 0 and 3 (P = 0.044). Lastly, opioid use (P < 0.001) and constipation (P = 0.003) were decreased. CONCLUSIONS ERAS protocols have demonstrated their importance within multiple surgical fields, including cosmetic plastic surgery. The utility lies in the ability to expedite patient's recovery while still providing quality care. This study showed a reduction in postoperative complaints by avoiding narcotics without an increase in complications. Our findings signify the importance of ERAS protocols within cosmetic plastic surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4

Significance of bacterial culturing of prophylactic drainage fluid in the early postoperative period after liver resection for predicting the development of surgical site infections. Surg Today 2018; 48:625-631.

Abstract
PURPOSES The relationship between the results of bacterial drainage fluid cultures in the early postoperative period after liver resection and the development of surgical site infections (SSIs) is unclear. We evaluated the diagnostic value of bacterial cultures of drainage fluid obtained on postoperative day (POD) 1 after liver resection. METHODS The cases of all consecutive patients who underwent elective liver resection from January 2014 to December 2016 were analyzed. The association between a positive culture result and the development of SSIs was analyzed. RESULTS A total of 195 consecutive patients were studied. Positive drainage fluid cultures were obtained in 6 patients (3.1%). A multivariate analysis revealed that a positive drainage fluid culture was an independent risk factor for SSIs (odds ratio: 8.04, P = 0.035), and combined resection of the gastrointestinal tract was a risk factor for a positive drainage fluid culture (P = 0.006). Among the patients who did not undergo procedures involving the gastrointestinal tract, there was no association between drainage fluid culture positivity and SSIs. CONCLUSIONS The detection of positive culture results for drainage fluid collected on POD 1 after liver resection was associated with SSIs. However, among patients who did not undergo procedures involving the gastrointestinal tract, it was not a predictor of SSIs.

Does anatomic resection improve the postoperative outcomes of solitary hepatocellular carcinomas located on the liver surface? Surgery 2017; 163:285-290.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether anatomic resection achieves better outcomes than nonanatomic resection in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of anatomic resection and nonanatomic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma located on the liver surface via one-to-one propensity score-matching analysis. METHODS Data from all consecutive patients who underwent liver resection for primary solitary hepatocellular carcinoma at Nara Medical University Hospital, Japan, January 2007- December 2015 were retrieved. Superficial hepatocellular carcinomas were defined as hepatocellular carcinoma that extended to a depth of < 3 cm from the liver surface and measured < 5 cm in diameter. The prognoses of the patients with superficial hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent anatomic resection and nonanatomic resection were compared. RESULTS In this study 23 patients with superficial hepatocellular carcinoma underwent anatomic resection and 70 patients who underwent nonanatomic resection. The recurrence-free survival rate of the patients who underwent anatomic resection was better than that of the patients who underwent nonanatomic resection (P = .006), while no such difference was observed for nonsuperficial hepatocellular carcinoma. After the propensity score-matching procedure, the resected liver volume and operation time were the only background or clinical characteristics to exhibit significant differences between the anatomic resection (n = 20) and nonanatomic resection groups (n = 20). The recurrence-free survivial rate of the patients who underwent anatomic resection was significantly than that of the patients that underwent nonanatomic resections (P = .030), but overall survival did not differ significantly between the groups (P = .182). CONCLUSION Anatomic resection decreases the risk of tumor recurrence and improves recurrence-free survival compared with nonanatomic resection in patients with superficial hepatocellular carcinoma.
