Abstract
BACKGROUND Major surgery, along with preoperative cholestasis-related complications, are responsible for the increased risk of morbidity and mortality in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA). The aim of the present survey is to provide a snapshot of current preoperative management and optimization strategies in Europe. METHODS 61 European centers, experienced in hepato-biliary surgery completed a 59-questions survey regarding pCCA preoperative management. Centers were stratified according to surgical caseload (<5 and ≥ 5 cases/year) and preoperative management protocols' application. RESULTS The overall case volume consisted of 6333 patients. Multidisciplinary discussion was routinely performed in 91.8% of centers. Most respondents (96.7%) recognized the importance of a well-structured preoperative protocol. The preferred method for biliary drainage was percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (60.7%) while portal vein embolization was the preferred technique for liver hypertrophy (90.2%). Differences in preoperative pathologic confirmation of malignancy (35.8% vs 28.7%; p < 0.001), number of mismanaged referred patients (88.2% vs 50.8%; p < 0.001), biliary drainage (65.1% vs 55.6%; p = 0.015) and liver function evaluation (37.2% vs 5.6%; p = 0.001) were found between centers according to groups' stratification. CONCLUSION The importance of a correct preoperative management is recognized. Nevertheless, the current lack of guidelines leads to wide heterogeneity of behaviors among centers. This survey can provide recommendations to improve pCCA perioperative outcomes.

Abstract
The widespread uptake of different machine perfusion (MP) strategies for liver transplant has been driven by an effort to minimize graft injury. Damage to the cholangiocytes during the liver donation, preservation, or early posttransplant period may result in stricturing of the biliary tree and inadequate biliary drainage. This problem continues to trouble clinicians, and may have catastrophic consequences for the graft and patient. Ischemic injury, as a result of compromised hepatic artery flow, is a well-known cause of biliary strictures, sepsis, and graft failure. However, very similar lesions can appear with a patent hepatic artery and these are known as ischemic type biliary lesions (ITBL) that are attributed to microcirculatory dysfunction rather than main hepatic arterial compromise. Both the warm and cold ischemic period duration appear to influence the onset of ITBL. All of the commonly used MP techniques deliver oxygen to the graft cells, and therefore may minimize the cholangiocyte injury and subsequently reduce the incidence of ITBL. As clinical experience and published evidence grows for these modalities, the impact they have on ITBL rates is important to consider. In this review, the evidence for the three commonly used MP strategies (abdominal normothermic regional perfusion [A-NRP], hypothermic oxygenated perfusion [HOPE], and normothermic machine perfusion [NMP] for ITBL prevention has been critically reviewed. Inconsistencies with ITBL definitions used in trials, coupled with variations in techniques of MP, make interpretation challenging. Overall, the evidence suggests that both HOPE and A-NRP prevent ITBL in donated after circulatory death grafts compared to cold storage. The evidence for ITBL prevention in donor after brain death grafts with any MP technique is weak.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maximizing patient and allograft survival after liver transplant (LT) is important from both a patient care and organ utilization perspective. Although individual studies have addressed the effects of short-term post-LT complications on a limited scale, there has not been a systematic review of the literature formally assessing the potential effects of early complications on long-term outcomes. OBJECTIVES To identify whether short-term complications after LT affect allograft and overall survival, to identify short-term complications of particular clinical interest and significance, and to provide recommendations to improve post-LT graft and patient survival. DATA SOURCES Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Central. METHODS A systematic review following PRISMA guidelines and recommendations using the GRADE approach derived from an international expert panel. RESULTS The literature review and analysis provided show that short-term complications have a large impact on allograft and patient survival after LT. The complications with the strongest effect on survival are acute kidney injury (AKI), biliary complications, and early allograft dysfunction (EAD). CONCLUSION This panel recommends taking measures to reduce the risk and incidence of short-term complications post-LT. Clinicians should pay particular attention to preventing or ameliorating AKI, biliary complications, and EAD (Quality of evidence; Moderate | Grade of Recommendation; Strong).

Abstract
Simple Summary For 657 cases of segment or less repeat liver resection with results of plasma albumin and bilirubin levels and platelet counts before and 3 months after surgery, the indicators were compared before and after surgery. There were 268 open repeat after open and 224 cases laparoscopic repeat after laparoscopic liver resection. The background factors and liver functional indicators before and after surgery, and the changes were compared between both groups. Plasma levels of albumin (p = 0.006) and total bilirubin (p = 0.01) were decreased, and ALBI score (p = 0.001) indicated worse liver function after surgery. Though laparoscopic group had poorer performance status and liver function, changes of the values and overall survivals were similar between both groups. Plasma levels of albumin and bilirubin and ALBI score could be the liver functional indicators for liver functional deterioration after liver resection. The laparoscopic group with poorer conditions showed a similar deterioration of liver function and overall survival to the open group. Abstract Whether albumin and bilirubin levels, platelet counts, ALBI, and ALPlat scores could be useful for the assessment of permanent liver functional deterioration after repeat liver resection was examined, and the deterioration after laparoscopic procedure was evaluated. For 657 patients with liver resection of segment or less in whom results of plasma albumin and bilirubin levels and platelet counts before and 3 months after surgery could be retrieved, liver functional indicators were compared before and after surgery. There were 268 patients who underwent open repeat after previous open liver resection, and 224 patients who underwent laparoscopic repeat after laparoscopic liver resection. The background factors, liver functional indicators before and after surgery and their changes were compared between both groups. Plasma levels of albumin (p = 0.006) and total bilirubin (p = 0.01) were decreased, and ALBI score (p = 0.001) indicated worse liver function after surgery. Laparoscopic group had poorer preoperative performance status and liver function. Changes of liver functional values before and after surgery and overall survivals were similar between laparoscopic and open groups. Plasma levels of albumin and bilirubin and ALBI score could be the indicators for permanent liver functional deterioration after liver resection. Laparoscopic group with poorer conditions showed the similar deterioration of liver function and overall survivals to open group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few series have reported the utility of fast-track protocols (FTP) in minimally invasive liver surgery.
AIM To report the applicability of FTP in minimally invasive liver surgery and to correlate with difficulty scores.
METHODS The series of patients undergoing minimally invasive liver surgery from 2014 was analyzed. Iwate, Southampton and Gayet’s scores were compared as predictors of FTP adherence. Accomplishment of FTP was considered within 24-h, 48-h and 72-h. Multivariate models were performed to define discharge < 24 h, < 72 h, complications and readmissions.
RESULTS From 160 cases, 78 were candidates for FTP, of which 22 (28.2%), 19 (24.4%) and 14 (17.9%) were discharged in < 24-h, 48-h and 72-h, respectively (total = 71.5%). Iwate, Southampton and Gayet’s scores achieved area under the receiver operating characteristic values for < 24-h stay of 0.780, 0.687 and 0.698, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity values for the best score (Iwate) were 87.7% and 66.7%, respectively (cutoff = 5.5). In multivariate models, < 72 h stay and complications revealed body mass index as a risk factor independent from difficulty scores.
CONCLUSION The development of aggressive FTP is feasible and < 24-h stay can be achieved even in moderate and advanced complexity cases. Difficulty scores, including body mass index value, may be useful to predict which cases may adhere to these protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Having little evidence on the real extent of the minimally invasive donor hepatectomy (MIDH), a world survey was conducted aiming to picture the spread of MIDH and to identify geographical, institutional, and individual differences. METHODS A web-based survey was created with 5 sections (general, institutional, surgeon's experience, technical, and spread and dissemination), comprising up to a total of 47 questions. A thorough search was carried out to identify all possible centers and surgeons performing MIDH. RESULTS A global MIDH experience of 2370 cases was collected: 1587 right hepatectomies (RHs; 48.9% pure laparoscopic), 471 left lateral sectionectomies (LLS; 81.1% pure laparoscopic), and 366 left hepatectomies (LHs; 77.6% laparoscopic-assisted). LLS and adult MIDH conversion rates were 5.4% and 3.9%, respectively. Median blood loss was 250 mL (100-600), 100 mL (50-250), and 150 mL (50-500) for RH, LLS, and LH, respectively. Intra- and postoperative transfusion rates were 0.5%, 0%, and 0.3%; and 1.3%, 1.6%, and 0% for RH, LLS, and LH, respectively. Geographically, Asia accounts up to 1730 cases (73% of the global experience, 49.6% pure lap), of which 1374 cases are RH; Europe and Middle East-395 cases-stands out for its experience in left lateral sectionectomy: 289 cases (93% pure lap). Finally, America accounts for 245 cases, using a laparoscopic-assisted technique in 72.6% of the cases (178). CONCLUSIONS This world survey provides evidence and data on the global spread of MIDH and anticipates how in a near future a large-scale adoption of these techniques may be observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Brisbane 2000 Terminology for Liver Anatomy and Resections, based on Couinaud's segments, did not address how to identify segmental borders and anatomic territories of less than one segment. Smaller anatomic resections including segmentectomies and subsegmentectomies, have not been well defined. The advent of minimally invasive liver resection has enhanced the possibilities of more precise resection due to a magnified view and reduced bleeding, and minimally invasive anatomic liver resection (MIALR) is becoming popular gradually. Therefore, there is a need for updating the Brisbane 2000 system, including anatomic segmentectomy or less. An online "Expert Consensus Meeting: Precision Anatomy for Minimally Invasive HBP Surgery (PAM-HBP Surgery Consensus)" was hosted on February 23, 2021. METHODS The Steering Committee invited 34 international experts from around the world. The Expert Committee (EC) selected 12 questions and two future research topics in the terminology session. The EC created seven tentative definitions and five recommendations based on the experts' opinions and the literature review performed by the Research Committee. Two Delphi Rounds finalized those definitions and recommendations. RESULTS This paper presents seven definitions and five recommendations regarding anatomic segmentectomy or less. In addition, two future research topics are discussed. CONCLUSIONS The PAM-HBP Surgery Consensus has presented the Tokyo 2020 Terminology for Liver Anatomy and Resections. The terminology has added definitions of liver anatomy and resections that were not defined in the Brisbane 2000 system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the number of minimally invasive liver resections (MILRs) has been steadily increasing in many institutions, minimally invasive anatomic liver resection (MIALR) remains a complicated procedure that has not been standardized. We present the results of a survey among expert liver surgeons as a benchmark for standardizing MIALR. METHOD We administered this survey to 34 expert liver surgeons who routinely perform MIALR. The survey contained questions on personal experience with liver resection, inflow/outflow control methods, and identification techniques of intersegmental/sectional planes (IPs). RESULTS All 34 participants completed the survey; 24 experts (70%) had more than 11 years of experience with MILR, and over 80% of experts had performed over 100 open resections and MILRs each. Regarding the methods used for laparoscopic or robotic anatomic resection, the Glissonean approach (GA) was a more frequent procedure than the hilar approach (HA). Although hepatic veins were considered essential landmarks, the exposure methods varied. The top three techniques that the experts recommended for identifying IPs were creating a demarcation line, indocyanine green negative staining method, and intraoperative ultrasound. CONCLUSION Minimally invasive anatomic liver resection remains a challenging procedure; however, a certain degree of consensus exists among expert liver surgeons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The anatomical structure around the pancreatic head is very complex and it is important to understand its precise anatomy and corresponding anatomical approach to safely perform minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD). This consensus statement aimed to develop recommendations for elucidating the anatomy and surgical approaches to MIPD. METHODS Studies identified via a comprehensive literature search were classified using the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network method. Delphi voting was conducted after experts had drafted recommendations, with a goal of obtaining >75% consensus. Experts discussed the revised recommendations with the validation committee and an international audience of 384 attendees. Finalized recommendations were made after a second round of online Delphi voting. RESULTS Three clinical questions were addressed, providing six recommendations. All recommendations reached at least a consensus of 75%. Preoperatively evaluating the presence of anatomical variations and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) branching patterns was recommended. Moreover, it was recommended to fully understand the anatomical approach to SMA and intraoperatively confirm the SMA course based on each anatomical landmark before initiating dissection. CONCLUSIONS MIPD experts suggest that surgical trainees perform resection based on precise anatomical landmarks for safe and reliable MIPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The concept of minimally invasive anatomic liver resection (MIALR) is gaining popularity. However, specific technical skills need to be acquired to safely perform MIALR. The "Expert Consensus Meeting: Precision Anatomy for Minimally Invasive HBP Surgery (PAM-HBP Surgery Consensus)" was developed as a special program during the 32nd meeting of the Japanese Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery (JSHBPS). METHODS Thirty-four international experts gathered online for the consensus. A Research Committee performed a comprehensive literature review, classifying studies according to the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network method. Based on the literature review and experts' opinions, tentative recommendations were drafted and circulated among experts using online Delphi Rounds. Finally, formulated recommendations were presented online in the Expert Consensus Meeting of the JSHBPS on February 23rd, 2021. The final recommendations were validated and finalized by the 2nd Delphi Round in May 2021. RESULTS Seven clinical questions were selected, and 22 recommendations were formulated. All recommendations reached more than 85% consensus among experts at the final Delphi Round. CONCLUSIONS The Expert Consensus Meeting for safely performing MIALR has presented a set of clinical guidelines based on available literature and experts' opinions. We expect these guidelines to have a favorable effect on the safe implementation and development of MIALR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical views with high resolution and magnification have enabled us to recognize the precise anatomical structures that can be used as landmarks during minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP). This study aimed to validate the usefulness of anatomy-based approaches for MIDP before and during the Expert Consensus Meeting: Precision Anatomy for Minimally Invasive HBP Surgery (February 24, 2021). METHODS Twenty-five international MIDP experts developed clinical questions regarding surgical anatomy and approaches for MIDP. Studies identified via a comprehensive literature search were classified using Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network methodology. Online Delphi voting was conducted after experts had drafted the recommendations, with the goal of obtaining >75% consensus. Experts discussed the revised recommendations in front of the validation committee and an international audience of 384 attendees. Finalized recommendations were made after a second round of online Delphi voting. RESULTS Four clinical questions were addressed, resulting in 10 recommendations. All recommendations reached at least a 75% consensus among experts. CONCLUSIONS The expert consensus on precision anatomy for MIDP has been presented as a set of recommendations based on available evidence and expert opinions. These recommendations should guide experts and trainees in performing safe MIDP and foster its appropriate dissemination worldwide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the current evidence in the context of clinical prediction model for post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). METHODS A systematic search of the English literature for a period from December 2005 to September 2020 was conducted. Primary outcome was defined using the three common PHLF criteria (50-50 criteria, peak bilirubin>7 mg/dl criteria, and ≥ grade B PHLF criteria by the International Study Group of Liver Surgery). Studies that reported the value of area under receiver operative characteristic curve (AUC) for the occurrence of PHLF were included. RESULTS Twenty eight of 1327 screened articles were eligible for inclusion. Eighteen studies developed the prediction models. The median AUC was found to be 0.79 (0.65-0.933). The parameters related to the amount of future liver remnant volume were most commonly identified as significant predictors for PHLF in statistical analysis (24 studies) and were most frequently incorporated in the prediction models (18 studies). The parameters associated with portal hypertension were significant for predicting PHLF in 16 studies and were adopted in the prediction models in 14 studies. CONCLUSION Parameters related to future liver remnant volume and portal hypertension seem to be facilitating in predicting PHLF.

Abstract
Simple Summary Less morbidity is considered among the advantages of laparoscopic liver resection for HCC patients. However, our previous international, multi-institutional study of laparoscopic repeat liver resection (LRLR) failed to prove it. We hypothesize that these results may be since the study included complex cases performed during the procedure’s developing stage. To examine it, subgroup analysis based on propensity score were performed, defining the proximity of the tumors to major vessels as the complexity. A propensity score matching earned 115 each patient of LRLR and open repeat liver resection (ORLR) without the proximity to major vessels, and the outcomes were compared. With comparable operation time and long-term outcome, less blood loss and less morbidity were shown in LRLR group than ORLR. Even in its worldwide developing stage, LRLR for HCC patients could be beneficial in blood loss and morbidity for the patients with less complexity in surgery. Abstract Less morbidity is considered among the advantages of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) for HCC patients. However, our previous international, multi-institutional, propensity score-based study of emerging laparoscopic repeat liver resection (LRLR) failed to prove this advantage. We hypothesize that these results may be since the study included complex LRLR cases performed during the procedure’s developing stage. To examine it, subgroup analysis based on propensity score were performed, defining the proximity of the tumors to major vessels as the indicator of complex cases. Among 1582 LRLR cases from 42 international high-volume liver surgery centers, 620 cases without the proximity to major vessels (more than 1 cm far from both first–second branches of Glissonian pedicles and major hepatic veins) were selected for this subgroup analysis. A propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed based on their patient characteristics, preoperative liver function, tumor characteristics and surgical procedures. One hundred and fifteen of each patient groups of LRLR and open repeat liver resection (ORLR) were earned, and the outcomes were compared. Backgrounds were well-balanced between LRLR and ORLR groups after matching. With comparable operation time and long-term outcome, less blood loss (283.3±823.0 vs. 603.5±664.9 mL, p = 0.001) and less morbidity (8.7 vs. 18.3 %, p = 0.034) were shown in LRLR group than ORLR. Even in its worldwide developing stage, LRLR for HCC patients could be beneficial in blood loss and morbidity for the patients with less complexity in surgery.

A snapshot of the 2020 conception of anatomic liver resections and their applicability on minimally invasive liver surgery. A preparatory survey for the Expert Consensus Meeting on Precision Anatomy for Minimally Invasive HBP Surgery. J Hepatobiliary Pancreat Sci 2021; 29:41-50.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main aim of this survey was to analyze how liver surgeons perform liver resections and to define their conception of anatomic procedures within the incorporation of minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS). METHODS The survey was distributed among liver surgeons. It mainly focused on personal experience on open and MILS, methods and landmarks, and experience on anatomic resections and Glissonean approach. RESULTS A total of 445 valid answers from 54 countries was obtained. Surgeons performing MILS mainly have below 10 years of experience (81.8% of responders) and one third has never done complex MILS. New techniques, including indocyanine green demarcation are marginally used (<25%). More than 60% of surgeons do not make a full exposure of hepatic veins during MILS, mainly due to the risk of injury or not considering it to be of utility. Although 88% of responders agreed with the concept of anatomic resection as the "resection along the border/watersheds of each order division identified by the portal vein flow", only 55% of surgeons have ever performed MILS Glissonean approaches. CONCLUSIONS Liver anatomy is not a static concept. Anatomic resections need training and precision. Standardization of complex anatomic resections by a minimally invasive approach should be encouraged.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In preparation for the upcoming consensus meeting in Tokyo in 2021, this systematic review aimed to analyze the current available evidence regarding surgical anatomy of the liver, focusing on useful landmarks, strategies and technical tools to perform precise anatomic liver resection (ALR). METHODS A systematic review was conducted on MEDLINE/PubMed for English articles and on Ichushi database for Japanese articles until September 2020. The quality assessment of the articles was performed in accordance with the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN). RESULTS A total of 3169 manuscripts were obtained, 1993 in English and 1176 in Japanese literature. Subsequently, 63 English and 20 Japanese articles were selected and reviewed. The quality assessment of comparative series and case series was revealed to be usually low; only six articles were qualified as high quality. Forty-two articles focused on analyzing intersegmental/sectional planes and their relationship with specific hepatic landmark veins. In 12 articles, the authors aimed to investigate liver surface anatomic structures, while 36 articles aimed to study technological tools and contrast agents for surgical segmentation during ALR. Although Couinaud's classification has remained the cornerstone in daily diagnostic/surgical practices, it does not always portray the realistic liver segmentation and there has been no standardization on which a single strategy should be followed to perform precise ALR. CONCLUSIONS A global consensus should be pursued in order to establish clear guidelines and proper recommendations to perform ALR in the era of minimally invasive surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this systematic review, we aimed to clarify the useful anatomic structures and assess available surgical techniques and strategies required to safely perform minimally invasive anatomic liver resection (MIALR), with a particular focus on the hepatic veins (HVs). METHODS A systematic review was conducted using MEDLINE/PubMed for English articles and Ichushi databases for Japanese articles through September 2020. The quality assessment of the articles was performed in accordance with the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN). RESULTS A total of 3372 studies were obtained, and 59 were selected and reviewed. Due to the limited number of published comparative studies and case series, the degree of evidence from our review was low. Thirty-two articles examined the anatomic landmarks and crucial structures for approaching HVs. Regarding the direction of HV exposure, 32 articles focused on the techniques and advantages of exposing HVs from either the root or the periphery. Ten articles focused on the techniques to perform a segmentectomy 8 in particularly difficult cases of MIALR. In seven articles, bleeding control from HVs was also discussed. CONCLUSIONS This review may help experts reach a consensus regarding the best approach to the management of hepatic veins during MIALR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The dissemination of robotic liver surgery is slow-paced and must face the obstacle of demonstrating advantages over open and laparoscopic (LLS) approaches. Our objective was to show the current position of robotic liver surgery (RLS) worldwide and to identify if improved short-term outcomes are observed, including secondary meta-analyses for type of resection, etiology, and cost analysis. METHODS A PRISMA-based systematic review was performed to identify manuscripts comparing RLS vs open or LLS approaches. Quality analysis was performed using the Newcatle-Ottawa score. Statistical analysis was performed after heterogeneity test and fixed- or random-effect models were chosen accordingly. RESULTS After removing duplications, 2728 RLS cases were identified from the final set of 150 manuscripts. More than 75% of the cases have been performed on malignancies. Meta-analysis from the 38 comparative reports showed that RLS may offer improved short-term outcomes compared to open procedures in most of the variables screened. Compared to LLS, some advantages may be observed in favour of RLS for major resections in terms of operative time, hospital stay and rate of complications. Cost analyses showed an increased cost per procedure of around US$5000. CONCLUSIONS The advantages of RLS still need to be demonstrated although early results are promising. Advantages vs open approach are demonstrated. Compared to laparoscopic surgery, minor perioperative advantages may be observed for major resections although cost analyses are still unfavorable to the robotic approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The laparoscopic approach to liver resection has experienced exponential growth in recent years. However, evidence-based guidelines are needed for its safe future progression. The main aim of our study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic and open liver resections for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). METHODS To identify all the comparative manuscripts between laparoscopic and open liver resections for CRLM, all published English language studies with more than ten cases were screened. In addition to the primary meta-analysis, 3 specific subgroup analyses were performed on patients undergoing minor-only, major-only and synchronous resections. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) methodology and Newcastle-Ottawa Score. RESULTS From the initial 194 manuscripts identified, 21 were meta-analysed, including results from the first randomized trial comparing open and laparoscopic resections of CRLM. Five of these were specific to patients undergoing a synchronous resection (399 cases), while six focused on minor (3 series including 226 cases) and major (3 series including 135 cases) resections, respectively. Thirteen manuscripts compared 2543 cases but could not be assigned to any of the above sub-analyses, so were analysed independently. The majority of short-term outcomes were favourable to the laparoscopic approach with equivalent rates of negative resection margins. No differences were observed between the approaches in overall or disease-free survival at 1, 3 or 5 years. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic liver resection for CRLM offers improved short-term outcomes with comparable long-term outcomes when compared to open approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines for the management of refractory ascites (RA) recommend transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting (TIPS), diuretics, and paracentesis as the main strategies, discouraging use of surgical peritoneovenous shunts (PVSs). However, PVSs, including both Denver (DS) or saphenoperitoneal (SPS) modalities, may still have indications. Herein we report our experience with PVSs in the context of modern surgical and anesthetic management. METHODS In our unit, PVSs are offered to patients with ascites refractory to diuretics in which TIPS are contraindicated. Heart function and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis must be assessed before surgical indication. RESULTS Seven procedures were performed on 5 patients (6-DS, 1-SPS) in 2013. Their mean age was 61 (range, 54-68) years. In 3 patients, the indication was RA without options for liver transplant; 2 patients were on the waiting list for liver transplantation, which were performed to improve renal function and quality of life (QOL). The median hospital stay was 6.5 (range, 3-12) days. All patients were alive after 12 months. One patient died 2 years after the first DS and another later died due to liver insufficiency with patency of the DS. The ascites was well-controlled in 4 of 5 patients at up to 48 months of follow-up. Decreases in diuretics doses, proper weight maintenance, and a dramatic improvement in QOL (measured by a modified Ascites Symptom Inventory-7 [ASI-7] test) were observed after the procedures. CONCLUSION PVSs are useful for the treatment of patients with RA who develop resistance to common therapies, leading to a major improvement in QOL. These surgical procedures should be included in the armamentarium of experienced liver surgeons.

Abstract
Liver transplantation (LT) is a demanding and stressful practice. It requires full dedication and great personal sacrifice. It carries with it a long, difficult learning curve. We present the current situation with one LT team and carried out a critical analysis on the current problems in LT units with regard to access to leadership the future generational changes. An LT team has several similarities with a family-owned company. A generation change planning in liver transplantation may address 3 important aspects: the succession of the leader; establishment and reinforcement of the talent pool; and accessibility to the working group. An LT team is manned by highly qualified personnel. The ideal scenario is when the successor surgeon is accepted by every member in a joint agreement; all the surgeons on the team have the potential to be the next team leader; and the working group presents a high level of personal effort and a motivated attitude. There is an ongoing problem in LT units, however-the growing lack of interest from young surgeons to be part of a transplant team. There are many reasons for this, but it primarily involves the high level of dedication required. The formation of a good transplant team, with a pool of high-quality young surgeons and the realization of a proper generational change, could improve its operation and its results in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The laparoscopic approach to liver resection has experienced exponential growth in recent years; however, its application is still under debate and objective, evidence-based guidelines for its safe future progression are needed. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic and open liver resections for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS To identify all the comparative manuscripts reporting on laparoscopic and open liver resection for HCC, all published English-language studies with more than 10 cases were screened. In addition to the primary meta-analysis, four specific subgroup analyses were performed on patients with Child-Pugh A cirrhosis, resections for solitary tumors, and those undergoing minor and major resections. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) methodology and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS From the initial 361 manuscripts, 28 were included in the meta-analysis. Five of these 28 manuscripts were specific to patients with Child-Pugh A cirrhosis (321 cases), 11 focused on solitary tumors (1003 cases), 16 focused on minor resections (1286 cases), and 3 focused on major resections (164 cases). Three manuscripts compared 1079 cases but could not be assigned to any of the above subanalyses. In general terms, short-term outcomes were favorable when using a laparoscopic approach, especially in minor resections. The only advantage seen with an open approach was reduced operative time during major liver resections. No differences in long-term outcomes were observed between the approaches. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic liver resection for HCC is feasible and offers improved short-term outcomes, with comparable long-term outcomes as the open approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Biliary anastomosis is a frequent area of complications after liver transplantation (LT) and a potential area of "microangiopathy". The concept of a "marginal bile duct" is unexplored. The main aim was to make a preliminary evaluation of the utility of an innovative real-time oxygen microtension (pO2mt) testing device for the assessment of bile duct viability during LT and to correlate these pO2mt values with microvascular tissue quality by histopathology and outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS Observational prospective cohort study with 23 patients. Oxygen microtension measurements were made placing a micropO2 probe in different areas of recipient and donor's bile duct intraoperative. RESULTS Mean pO2mt in the graft bile duct at the level of the anastomosis 103.82 (31-157) mm Hg, being 121.52 (55-174) mm Hg 1.5 cm proximal to the hilar plate (P < 0.001). Mean pO2mt in the recipient's bile duct was 117.87 (62-185) mm Hg, while a value of 137.30 (81-198) mm Hg was observed 1.5 cm distal to the anastomosis (P < 0.001). Cystic duct resection (12 cases) was also related with higher pO2mt values at anastomosis [117.8 (93-157) vs 88.54 (31-124) mm Hg] and distal to anastomosis [135.6 (111-174) vs 106.2 (55-133) mm Hg; P < 0.001]. Patients with 1-, 3-, and 12-month biliary complications had significantly lower pO2mt in the intraoperative measurements. CONCLUSION Our preliminary results show that distal borders of donor and recipient bile ducts may be low-vascularized areas. Tissue pO2mt is significantly higher in areas close to the hilar plate and to the duodenum in donor and recipient's sides, respectively. Bile duct injury and biliary complications are associated with worse tissue pO2mt.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The European Guidelines Meeting on Laparoscopic Liver Surgery was held in Southampton on February 10 and 11, 2017 with the aim of presenting and validating clinical practice guidelines for laparoscopic liver surgery. BACKGROUND The exponential growth of laparoscopic liver surgery in recent years mandates the development of clinical practice guidelines to direct the speciality's continued safe progression and dissemination. METHODS A unique approach to the development of clinical guidelines was adopted. Three well-validated methods were integrated: the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network methodology for the assessment of evidence and development of guideline statements; the Delphi method of establishing expert consensus, and the AGREE II-GRS Instrument for the assessment of the methodological quality and external validation of the final statements. RESULTS Along with the committee chairman, 22 European experts; 7 junior experts and an independent validation committee of 11 international surgeons produced 67 guideline statements for the safe progression and dissemination of laparoscopic liver surgery. Each of the statements reached at least a 95% consensus among the experts and were endorsed by the independent validation committee. CONCLUSION The European Guidelines Meeting for Laparoscopic Liver Surgery has produced a set of clinical practice guidelines that have been independently validated for the safe development and progression of laparoscopic liver surgery. The Southampton Guidelines have amalgamated the available evidence and a wealth of experts' knowledge taking in consideration the relevant stakeholders' opinions and complying with the international methodology standards.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyse the impact of liver resection (LR) in patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) within the Barcelona-Clinic-Liver-Cancer (BCLC)-B stage. METHODS Analysis of patients with BCLC-B HCC treated with LR or transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) between 2007 and 2012 in our hospital. Survival/recurrence analyses were performed by log-rank tests and Cox multivariate models. Further analyses were specifically obtained for the HCC subclassification (B1-2-3-4) proposed recently. RESULTS Eighty patients were treated (44-TACE/36-LR). Number of nodules was [1.8(1.1)], being multinodular in 50% of cases. Although resected patients had a higher hospital stay than those who underwent TACE (14 ± 13 vs 7 ± 6; P = 0.004), the rate and severity of complications was lower measured by Dindo-Clavien scale (P < 0.05). Overall survival was 40% with a median follow-up of 29.5 months (0.07-96.9). Five-years survival rates were 62.9%, 28.1% and 15.4%, respectively (P = 0.004) for B1, B2 and B3-4 stages. Cox model showed that only total bilirubin [OR = 2.055(1.23-3.44)] and BCLC subclassification B3-4 [OR = 2.439(1.04-5.7)] and B2 [OR = 2.79(1.35-5.77)] vs B1 were independent predictors of 5-years-survival. In B1 patients, surgical approach led a significant decrease in 5-years recurrence-rate (25% vs 60%; P = 0.018). In the surgical subgroup analysis, better results were observed if well/moderate differentiation combined with no microvascular-invasion (VI) in 5-years-survival (84.6%; P = 0.001) and -recurrence (23.1%; P = 0.041), respectively. These survival and recurrence trends were remarkable in B1 stages. CONCLUSIONS Management of Intermediate BCLC-B HCC stage should be more complex and include updated criteria regarding B-stage subclassifications, VI and tumour differentiation. Modern surgical resection would offer improved survival benefit with acceptable safety in selected BCLC-B stage patients.

Abstract
Liver resection (LR) for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and chronic liver disease (CLD) poses a high risk of serious postoperative complications and multicentric metachronous lesions requiring repeated treatment. The efficacy of laparoscopic LR (LLR) for such patients has yet to be established. The objective of this study is to test the outcomes of LLR for HCC with the aim of considering potential expansion of the indications for LLR. We performed a systematic review of the pertinent English-language literature. Our search yielded four meta-analyses and 23 comparative studies of LLR for HCC. On the basis of the findings from these studies and our newly conducted meta-analysis, the possibility for expanding the indications for LLR to HCC was examined. The studies show that LLR (vs open) for HCC generally yields better short-term outcomes without compromising long-term outcomes, and that incidences of postoperative ascites and liver failure are decreased with LLR. Several studies show the benefits of LLR for patients with severe CLD and for repeat surgery. Reductions of postoperative ascites and liver failure are among the advantages of LLR. These characteristics of LLR may allow us to expand the indications of LLR to HCC with CLD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver donation is the cornerstone for the expansion of liver transplantation. Although big efforts have been performed to release alternatives for increasing the donor pool, only extended-criteria donors have become a feasible option. METHODS The success of the Spanish Model for organ transplantation is well known. Approximately 5.4% of all the liver transplants (LT) are performed in Spain, with a rate of 22.9 LT per million people (pmp). RESULTS Approximately 70 papers on extended-criteria donors have been reported from Spanish LT teams. Pioneering works in donor steatosis, non-heart-beating donors, donor age-hepatitis C virus, ischemia/reperfusion injury, normothermic extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and donor steatosis-hepatitis C virus are among the main contributions in the field. Considering data from the Spanish National Registry, it can be observed that an accumulation of donor and recipient factors leads to a continuum of risk for liver transplantation. Donors are not "bad" enough to decline a liver offer per se. CONCLUSIONS In Spain, clear efforts should be made to work on more stable and homogeneous criteria for donor acceptance. In this sense, defining a specific Spanish donor risk index would be helpful.

Abstract
A retrospective cohort multicenter study was conducted to analyze the risk factors for tumor recurrence after liver transplantation (LT) in cirrhotic patients found to have an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) on pathology examination. We also aimed to ascertain whether there existed a subgroup of patients with single tumors ≤2 cm ("very early") in which results after LT can be acceptable. Twenty-nine patients comprised the study group, eight of whom had a "very early" iCCA (four of them incidentals). The risk of tumor recurrence was significantly associated with larger tumor size as well as larger tumor volume, microscopic vascular invasion and poor degree of differentiation. None of the patients in the "very early" iCCA subgroup presented tumor recurrence compared to 36.4% of those with single tumors >2 cm or multinodular tumors, p = 0.02. The 1-, 3- and 5-year actuarial survival of those in the "very early" iCCA subgroup was 100%, 73% and 73%, respectively. The present is the first multicenter attempt to ascertain the risk factors for tumor recurrence in cirrhotic patients found to have an iCCA on pathology examination. Cirrhotic patients with iCCA ≤2 cm achieved excellent 5-year survival, and validation of these findings by other groups may change the current exclusion of such patients from transplant programs.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major health problem that leads to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, being the most frequent indication for liver transplantation in several countries. Unfortunately, HCV re-infects the liver graft almost invariably following reperfusion, with an accelerated history of recurrence, leading to 10%-30% of patients progressing to cirrhosis within 5 years of transplantation. In this sense, some groups have even advocated for not re-transplanting this patients, as lower patient and graft outcomes have been reported. However, the management of HCV recurrence is being optimized and several strategies to reduce post-transplant recurrence could improve outcomes, decrease the rate of re-transplantation and optimize the use of available grafts. Three moments may be the focus of potential actions in order to decrease the impact of viral recurrence: the pre-transplant moment, the transplant environment and the post-transplant management. In the pre-transplant setting, it is not well established if reducing the pre transplant viral load affects the risk for HCV progression after transplant. Obviously, antiviral treatment can render the patient HCV RNA negative post transplant but the long-term benefit has not yet been fully established to justify the cost and clinical risk. In the transplant moment, factors as donor age, cold ischemia time, graft steatosis and ischemia/reperfusion injury may lead to a higher and more aggressive viral recurrence. After the transplant, discussion about immunosuppression and the moment to start the treatment (prophylactic, pre-emptive or once-confirmed) together with new antiviral drugs are of interest. This review aims to help clinicians have a global overview of post-transplant HCV recurrence and strategies to reduce its impact on our patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The widely-accepted treatment outcome for chronic hepatitis C is the sustained viral response (that is, no measurable viral RNA in blood six months after treatment). However, this surrogate outcome (as well as the previously employed biochemical and histologic ones) has never been validated. This situation exists because there are very few randomized clinical trials that have used clinical events (mortality or manifestations of decompensated cirrhosis) as outcomes, because those clinical events only occur after many years of infection. Patients in whom initial therapy fails to produce sustained viral responses do become potential candidates for retreatment; some of these individuals are not candidates for ribavirin or protease inhibitors and consideration could be given to retreatment with interferon alone. OBJECTIVES To assess the benefits and harms of interferon monotherapy retreatment in chronic hepatitis C patients and to validate the currently employed surrogate outcomes in this group of patients. SEARCH METHODS We searched The Cochrane Hepato-Biliary Group Controlled Trials Register, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) in The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Science Citation Index Expanded until 16 August 2012. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomized trials comparing interferon versus placebo or no treatment in chronic hepatitis C nonresponders and relapsers to previous interferon. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS The primary outcomes were mortality (all-cause and hepatic), quality of life, and adverse events. Secondary outcomes were liver-related morbidity, sustained viral responses, biochemical responses, histologic improvements, and costs. We used both fixed-effect and random-effects model meta-analyses, reporting only the former if no difference existed. MAIN RESULTS Seven trials were identified. Two of them were at low risk of bias (the HALT-C and EPIC3 trials) and included 1676 patients. Both of these trials addressed the role of long-term low-dose pegylated interferon therapy in patients with severe fibrosis (demonstrated on liver biopsy) and were designed to assess the clinical outcomes. The remaining five trials included 300 patients and were at high risk of bias. Based on all trials reporting the outcomes, no significant difference was observed in either all-cause mortality (78/843 (9.3%) versus 62/867 (7.2%); risk ratio (RR) 1.30, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.95 to 1.79; 3 trials) or hepatic mortality (41/532 (7.7%) versus 40/552 (7.2%); RR 1.07, 95% CI 0.70 to 1.63; 2 trials); however, when only the two trials at low risk of bias were combined, all-cause mortality was significantly higher in the recipients of the pegylated interferon (78/828 (9.4%) versus 57/848 (6.7%); RR 1.41, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.96) although trial sequential analysis could not exclude the possibility of random error. There was less variceal bleeding in the recipients of the interferon (4/843 (0.5%) versus 18/867 (2.1%); RR 0.24, 95% CI 0.09 to 0.67; 3 trials), although again trial sequential analysis could not exclude the presence of a type I error and the effect could not be confirmed in a random-effects model meta-analysis. No significant differences were seen with regard to the development of ascites, encephalopathy, hepatocellular carcinoma, or the need for liver transplantation. One trial reported quality of life data; the pain score was significantly worse in the recipients of the pegylated interferon. Adverse effects tended to be more common in the interferon recipients; the ones that were significantly more common included hematologic complications, infections, flu-like symptoms, and rash. The recipients of interferon had significantly more sustained viral responses (20/557 (3.6%) versus 1/579 (0.2%); RR 15.38, 95% CI 2.93 to 80.71; 4 trials) and a type I error was excluded by trial sequential analysis. The METAVIR activity score also improved (36/55 (65%) versus 20/46 (43.5%); RR 1.49, 95% CI 1.02 to 2.18; 2 trials). No significant differences were seen with regard to histologic fibrosis assessments. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS The clinical data were limited to patients with histologic evidence of severe fibrosis who were retreated with pegylated interferon. In this scenario, retreatment with interferon did not appear to provide significant clinical benefit and, when only the trials at low risk of bias were considered, retreatment for several years may even have increased all-cause mortality. Such treatment also produced adverse events. On the other hand, the treatment did result in improvement in some surrogate outcomes, namely sustained viral responses and histologic evidence of inflammation. Interferon monotherapy retreatment cannot be recommended for these patients. No clinical data are available for patients with less severe fibrosis. The sustained viral response cannot be used as a surrogate marker for hepatitis C treatment in this clinical setting with low sustained viral response rates and needs to be validated in others in which higher sustained viral response rates are reported.

Abstract
The continuing shortage of donors has led to the increasing use of marginal grafts. Surgical techniques such as split, domino, and living donations have not been able to decrease waiting list mortality. Donation after cardiac death (DCD) was the only source of grafts prior to the establishment of brain death criteria in 1968. Thereafter, donation after brain death emerged as the leading source of grafts. The context in which irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions happens was the cornerstone to definite the four categories of DCD by the First International Workshop on DCD held in Maastricht in 1995. Controlled (CDCD) and uncontrolled (UDCD) categories now account for 10%-20% of the donor pool in several countries. Despite initial high rates of primary nonfunction and ischemic-type biliary lesions, refinements in protocols and surgical techniques have led to excellent 1- and 3-year graft survivals of 80% and 70%, respectively with PNF and ITBL rates below 3%. The institution of UDCD and CDCD depends on legal considerations of presumed consent and withdrawal of maneuvers, respectively. The potential for DCD programs is huge; it may be the only real, effective way to increase the grafts pool, both in adult and pediatric populations. Recent advances in perfusion machines will surely optimize this donor pool and allow new therapies for graft resuscitation.

Abstract
Shortage of organs for transplantation has led to the renewed interest in donation after circulatory-determination of death (DCDD). We conducted a retrospective analysis (2001-2009) and a subsequent prospective validation (2010) of liver Maastricht-Category-3-DCDD and donation-after-brain-death (DBD) offers to our program. Accepted and declined offers were compared. Accepted DCDD offers were divided into donors who went on to cardiac arrest and those who did not. Donors who arrested were divided into those producing grafts that were transplanted or remained unused. Descriptive comparisons and regression analyses were performed to assess predictor models of donor cardiac arrest and graft utilization. Variables from the multivariate analysis were prospectively validated. Of 1579 DCDD offers, 621 were accepted, and of these, 400 experienced cardiac arrest after withdrawal of support. Of these, 173 livers were transplanted. In the DCDD group, donor age < 40 years, use of inotropes and absence of gag/cough reflexes were predictors of cardiac arrest. Donor age >50 years, BMI >30, warm ischemia time >25 minutes, ITU stay >7 days and ALT ≥ 4× normal rates were risk factors for not using the graft. These variables had excellent sensitivity and specificity for the prediction of cardiac arrest (AUROC = 0.835) and graft use (AUROC = 0.748) in the 2010 prospective validation. These models can feasibly predict cardiac arrest in potential DCDDs and graft usability, helping to avoid unnecessary recoveries and healthcare expenditure.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to identify peritransplant predictors of early graft survival and posttransplant parameters that could be used to predict early graft outcomes after pediatric liver transplantation (PLT). The response of children to liver dysfunction after liver transplantation (LT) is poor. No data have been reported for early predictors of poor graft survival, which would potentially be valuable for rescuing children at risk after LT. A retrospective cohort study of 422 PLT procedures performed from 2000 to 2010 at a single center was conducted. Multiple peritransplant variables were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses using receiver operating characteristic curves were performed to identify predictors of early graft loss (ie, at 30, 60, and 90 days). The number needed to treat (NNT) was calculated when the risk factors were identified. Comparisons with the Olthoff criteria for early graft dysfunction in adults were performed. The overall 30-, 60-, and 90-day graft survival rates were 93.6%, 92.6%, and 90.7%, respectively. A recipient age of 0 to 2 or 6 to 16 years, acute liver failure, and a posttransplant day 7 serum bilirubin level > 200 μmol/L were risk factors for graft loss in the 3-strata Cox models. The product of the peak aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level, day 2 international normalized ratio (INR) value, and day 7 bilirubin level [with 30-, 60-, and 90-day areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROCs) of 0.774, 0.752, and 0.715, respectively] and a day 7 bilirubin level > 200 μmol/L (with 30-, 60-, and 90-day AUROCs of 0.754, 0.661, and 0.635, respectively) provided excellent prediction rates for early graft loss (30-days for Day-7-bilirubin level > 200) in the pediatric population (sensitivity = 72.7%, specificity = 96.6%, positive predictive value = 95.5%, negative predictive value = 78%). The NNT with early retransplantation when the day 7 bilirubin level was >200 μmol/L was 2.17 (unadjusted) or 2.76 (adjusted for graft survival). In conclusion, 2 scores-the product of the peak AST level, day 2 INR value, and day 7 bilirubin level and a posttransplant day 7 bilirubin level > 200 μmol/L-have been identified as clinically valuable tools with high accuracy for predicting early graft loss. A more aggressive attitude to considering early retransplantation in this group may further improve survival after LT.

Abstract
Liver transplantation has become the treatment of choice for fulminant hepatic failure and end-stage liver diseases. Several factors have been described to be predictors of graft function. Since early graft dysfunction dramatically influences graft and patient outcomes after liver transplantation, prevention of this event is mandatory. Donor-, procurement-, operative- and recipient-related factors influence the development of graft dysfunction. We have presented herein a review of the impact of these factors on graft dysfunction.

Abstract
AIM To identify new markers of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using a proteomic analysis. METHODS Patients with liver cirrhosis of the three most frequent etiologies: hepatitis C virus, hepatitis B virus and alcoholic liver disease, were included in the study. The samples were analysed by 2D-electrophoresis in order to determine the differential protein expression. The proteins were separated according to the charge in immobilized pH 3-10 gradient strips and then by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Proteins of interest were excised, digested with trypsin and the resulting peptides were separated and identified. RESULTS Three differentially expressed apolipoproteins (Apo) were identified based on the protein profile using proteomic techniques: Apo-A1, Apo-A4 and Apo-E. Apo-A4 levels were significantly lower in HCC than in non-HCC patients regardless of etiology (P < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression showed that Apo-A4 and Apo-A1 were the only independent factors related to HCC diagnosis (P < 0.05). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve including both Apo-A4 and Apo-A1 showed an area under the ROC of 0.944 (P < 0.001), a sensitivity of 0.89 and a specificity of 0.81 for diagnosis of HCC. CONCLUSION Apo-A4 and Apo-A1 may be used clinically as biomarkers of HCC with a high sensibility and specificity. These findings may provide additional insights into the mechanism of HCC development and progression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the primary factors that influence the development and consolidation of a pediatric liver transplantation program. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of 100 liver transplantation procedures performed in 84 pediatric patients between May 1990 and November 2007. The male-female ratio was 40:60. Mean (SD) age was 5 years (40 patients were younger than 2 years); cold ischemia time was 7.10 (3.1) hours; surgery time was 5.2 (2.2) hours; and time on the waiting list for transplantation was 75 (range, 1-1012) days. Indications for transplantation included cholestatic disease (43%), acute hepatic failure (AHF; 34%), metabolic disorders (14%), and cirrhosis (9%). Transplanted organs included 3 split grafts, 29 partial grafts, and 8 living-donor grafts. RESULTS Mean graft survival was 70.4%, 59.2%, and 58.1% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. Factors that influenced graft outcome were age younger than 2 years; surgery time more than 6 hours; and AHF vs cholestatic disease, metabolic disorders, and cirrhosis. There were no significant differences in long-term (51% vs 59%) and short-term (71% vs 70%) graft survival between procedures performed in 1990-1998 compared with those performed in 1999-2007; however, there was a higher percentage (P = .005) of recipients at high risk (age younger than 2 years or with AHF) in the later period. All data were consistent with those of the European Liver Transplant Registry 2007. CONCLUSIONS A pediatric liver transplantation program can be established by a group experienced in liver transplantation.

Abstract
Postoperative Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) values have never been assessed to predict very early (<1 week) death after liver transplantation (OLT). We retrospectively reviewed 275 consecutive OLTs performed in 252 recipients reported in a prospective database. We calculated the MELD score (pre-MELD) and consecutive postoperative MELD (post-MELD) scores computed daily during the first postoperative week and on days 15 and 30 after OLT. Post-MELD scores from nonsurviving recipients displayed on a scatterplot of immediate probability of death were adjusted to the best goodness-of-fit curve, and, finally, depicted graphically as a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Nonsurviving recipients showed higher post-MELD scores: day 1: 23.5 versus 16.6 (P = .05); day 3: 25.1 versus 12.5 (P = .000); day 5: 25.7 versus 11.8 (P = .000); and day 7: 22.1 versus 10.2 (P = .000). Overall comparisons were performed using a time-dependent general linear regression model, revealing higher post-MELD scores for nonsurviving recipients, irrespective of postoperative time (P = .002). The best goodness-of-fit curve was displayed when adjusting to a theoretical exponential regression curve calculated as follows: Probability of dying within the first week (%) = 3.36 x e(0.079 x (post-MELD)) (r = .89; P = .000). The area under the ROC curve was 0.783 (95% confidence interval, 0.630-0.935; P = .001). The model had a positive predictive value of 82.3%, a negative predictive value of 33.1%, and an accuracy of 79.2%. In conclusion, this study corroborated the suggestion that the MELD score may serve as a reliable tool to assess very early death after OLT.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the influence of donor graft steatosis on overall outcome, viral recurrence, and fibrosis progression in orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for hepatitis C virus (HCV) cirrhosis. One hundred twenty patients who underwent OLT for HCV cirrhosis between 1995 and 2005 were included in the study. Donor steatosis was categorized as absent (0%-10%; n = 40), mild (10%-30%; n = 32), moderate (30%-60%; n = 29), or severe (>60%; n = 19). A Cox multivariate analysis for marginal donor variables and a Model for End-Stage Liver Disease index were performed. Fibrosis evolution was analyzed in liver biopsies (fibrosis < 2 or > or =2) 3, 6, and 12 months post-OLT and in the late post-OLT period. Fifty-six grafts were lost (46%). The survival of the grafts was inversely proportional to donor liver steatosis: 82%, 72%, and 72% at 1, 2, and 3 years post-OLT in the absence of steatosis; 73%, 63%, and 58% with mild steatosis; 74%, 62%, and 43% with moderate steatosis; and 62%, 49%, and 42% with severe steatosis (P = 0.012). HCV recurrence was earlier and more frequent in recipients with steatosis > 30% (46% versus 32% at 3 months, P = 0.017; 58% versus 43% at 6 months, P = 0.020; 70% versus 56% at 12 months, P = 0.058; and 95% versus 69% at 3 years post-OLT, P = 0.0001). Graft survival was lower in alcoholic liver disease recipients versus HCV recipients when steatosis was >30% at 3, 6, and 12 months post-OLT (P = 0.042) but not when steatosis was <30% (P = 0.53). A higher fibrosis score was obtained 3 months post-OLT (P = 0.033), 6 months post-OLT (P = 0.306), 12 months post-OLT (P = 0.035), and in the late post-OLT period (P = 0.009). In conclusion, donor graft steatosis influences the outcome of OLT for HCV cirrhosis. HCV recurrence is more frequent and earlier in recipients of moderately and severely steatotic livers. Fibrosis evolution is higher when graft steatosis is >30%. OLT with >30% steatotic donor livers should be precluded in HCV recipients.

Abstract
The Gene Context Tool (GeConT) allows users to visualize the genomic context of a gene or a group of genes and their orthologous relationships within fully sequenced bacterial genomes. The new version of the server incorporates information from the COG, Pfam and KEGG databases, allowing users to have an integrated graphical representation of the function of genes at multiple levels, their phylogenetic distribution and their genomic context. The sequence of any of the genes can be easily retrieved, as well as the 5′ or 3′ regulatory regions, greatly facilitating further types of analysis. GeConT 2 is available at: http://bioinfo.ibt.unam.mx/gecont.

Abstract
The use of marginal liver donors can affect the outcomes of liver transplantation in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. There are no firm conclusions about which donor criteria are important for allocation of high-risk grafts to recipients with HCV cirrhosis. We performed 120 consecutive liver transplantations for HCV infection between 1995 and 2005. Marginal donor criteria were considered to be: age >70 years, macrovesicular steatosis >30%, moderate-to-severe liver preservation injury, high inotropic drug dose (dopamine >15 microg/kg/min; epinephrine, norepinephrine, or dobutamine at any doses), peak serum sodium >155 mEq/L, any hypotensive episode <60 mm Hg and >1 hour, cold ischemia time >12 hours, ICU hospitalization >4 days, bilirubin >2 mg/dL, AST and/or ALT >200 UI/dL. Graft survival with donors showing these marginal criteria was compared with optimal donors using Kaplan-Meier analysis and the log-rank test. Independent predictors of survival were computed with the Cox proportional hazards model. Fifty-six grafts (46%) were lost during follow-up irrespective of the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores of the recipients in each category. Upon univariate analysis, grafts with moderate-to-severe steatosis (P = .012), those with severe liver preservation injury (P = .007) and prolonged cold ischemia time (P = .0001) showed a dismal prognosis at 1, 3, and 5 years. Upon multivariate analysis, fat content (P = .0076; OR = 4.2) and cold ischemia time >12 hours (P = .034; OR = 7.001) were independent predictors of graft survival. Among HCV recipients, marginal liver donors worked similar to those from "good" donors, except for those with fatty livers >30%, especially when combined with a prolonged cold ischemia time.

Abstract
SUMMARY The fact that adjacent genes in bacteria are often functionally related is widely known. GeConT (Gene Context Tool) is a web interface designed to visualize genome context of a gene or a group of genes and their orthologs in all the completely sequenced genomes. The graphical information of GeConT can be used to analyze genome annotation, functional ortholog identification or to verify the genomic context congruence of any set of genes that share a common property.
