Advancing hepatic augmentation for safer hepatic surgery: insights into portal and hepatic vein embolization strategies ➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjs/zn… 🏥 Evolution from PVL → combined embolization marks major progress in liver surgery & understanding of regeneration - Goal of augmentation is preventing liver failure, not just hitting volumetric targets - KGR is a strong predictor of outcomes, guiding postoperative risk - Dual embolization (PVE+HVE) shows promise for better hypertrophy & survival, but more RCTs (e.g. DRAGON 2) are needed before replacing PVE.

What happens when you merge two high volume centers for #pancreas #surgery? Birth of @amsterdamumc ❌❌❌ 😃 500 vs 500 Whipples (pre-vs post merger) ✅ 30-day mortality: 2.0 to 0.4%, P=0.02 ✅ failure-to-rescue: 4.9 to 1.1%, P=0.04 ✅ major morbidity: 41 to 35%, P=0.037 ✅ POPF grade C: 2.4 to 0.8%, P=0.044 ✅ PPH grade B/C: 8.0 to 4.6%, P=0.027 Outcomes improved for both centers.

September 16, 1977, Andreas Gruentzig performed the 1st coronary angioplasty in Zurich. Below is the story, told by the 1st patient himself, Adolph Bachman, and his doctor, Bernhard Meier. This was the birth, not just of interventional cardiology, but a whole new branch of medicine, where the body's circulatory system could serve as a "highway" to deliver therapy without open surgery. #AngioHistory

Risk factors and mitigating measures associated with bile duct injury during cholecystectomy: meta-analysis ➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjsope… This meta-analysis examined risk factors and preventive measures for bile duct injury (BDI) following cholecystectomy. The results, based on 31 studies involving over 6.5 million surgeries, identified male sex and acute cholecystitis as significant risk factors. The study suggests that preoperative risk stratification could help improve decision-making and potentially reduce the risk of BDI. 👏👏👏Rowan Burns , Katie L Connor , Rachel V Guest , Chris C Johnston , @ewenharrison , @ProfW_edinsurg , @Asherief #SoMe4Surgery #MedTwitter #SurgEd #Surgery @BJSAcademy @BJSurgery @young_bjs @juliomayol @JJEarnshaw @OUPMedicine #some4hpb #some4tpl @hpb_so #cholecystectomy
