A new study compares preoperative embolization techniques for major hepatectomy, showing that sequential hepatic vein embolization (HVE) following portal vein embolization (PVE) is superior to PVE alone.📈 The PVE–HVE approach significantly boosts both future remnant liver volume (35.5% vs. 26.2%) and function (59.5% vs. 25.2%), providing a safer margin for surgery.👍 #SoMe4Surgery #SoMe4HPB #AGSurg @JSHBPS onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ag…

💫Highlights from the @hpbjournal: 🧵 Pancreatic tail anatomy & spleen preservation in robotic LSP 🤖🫀 📊 46 robotic left-sided pancreatectomies with intended spleen preservation 🧠 Pancreatic tail classified into 4 anatomical types (I–IV) 🔍 Key results: • Type IV anatomy strongly associated with spleen preservation failure • Type III/IV → lower spleen preservation (52% vs 91%) • Larger tumors, more blood loss & longer operative time 🎯 Take-home: Preoperative pancreatic tail classification matters. hpbonline.org/article/S1365-…
