Abstract Background Malnutrition is not uncommon among the elderly undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) and related to increased complications. Previous studies have shown that Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) predicts outcomes in various populations. Nevertheless, research exploring correlation between GNRI postoperative PD scarce. This study aimed investigate preoperative malnutrition, as measured by GNRI, on patients PD. Materials Methods retrospective analysis enrolled 144...
BACKGROUND Liver transplant (LT) candidates face a heightened risk of infection both pre- and post-transplant, owing to immunosuppressive therapy complications from chronic liver disease. Infections during the pre-transplant period, such as lymphorrhea-induced cellulitis, can cause significant delays in transplantation increase mortality while on waiting list. Lymphorrhea, characterized by substantial lymphatic leakage recurrent skin infections, presents challenge managing patients who are...
The death triad, including coagulopathy, hypothermia, and acidosis, is shown to be a strong predictor of mortality in trauma patients. We aimed investigate whether the inclusion hypotension, defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 60 mmHg, fourth factor triad would comprise tetrad help stratify risk A total 3361 adult patients between 1 January 2009 31 December 2019 were allocated into groups hypotension matters determining outcome who possess 1−3 components compared those without any...
The treatment of common bile duct (CBD) stones with minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is more technical demanding than laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), especially in patients history previous abdominal surgery, cholangitis or cholecystitis. Near-infrared (NIR) cholangiography via systemic biliary tree administration indocyanine green (ICG), which enhances the visualization anatomy, may increase reassurance CBD localization. aim this study was to identify benefit near-infrared for...
Uncontrolled massive bleeding and bowel edema are critical issues during liver transplantation. Temporal intra-abdominal packing with staged biliary reconstruction (SBR) yields acceptable outcomes in deceased donor transplantation; however, data on living transplantation (LDLT) scarce.
BACKGROUND Angioleiomyoma is a rare and benign stromal tumor typically found in subcutaneous tissue. It rarely occurs the gastrointestinal tract. Among reported cases, most common complication was bleeding. Perforation has only been as last few decades. CASE SUMMARY This case report detailed discovery of intestinal angioleiomyoma 47-year-old male presenting with abdominal pain that had persisted for 3 d. After suspecting hollow organ perforation, surgical intervention involving resection...

Several techniques have been developed to reduce blood loss in liver resection. The half-Pringle and Pringle maneuvers are commonly used for inflow control. This study compared the outcomes of different control laparoscopic subsegmentectomy.From October 2010 December 2020, a total 362 resections were performed by single surgeon (C.C. Yong) our institute. We retrospectively enrolled 133 patients who underwent subsegmentectomy during same period. Perioperative long-term analyzed.The divided...
