Caprio and Merola: Latin American Contribution to the Development of Liver Surgery
Regarding the history of liver surgery, Latin American pioneers have only occasionally been mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon literature. One of such rare cases was Uruguayan surgeon Gerardo Caprio, who in 1931 published a report about a resection of the left lobe of the liver. This was done during an uneventful period in the development of ideas on this surgical technique, following the remarkable advances made in the last quarter of the 19th Century. The anatomic and liver manipulation concepts used by Caprio had been developed by Merola in reports dating back to 1916 and 1920, which revealed well-grounded disagreements with ...

Low Skeletal Muscle Density Is Associated with Early Death in Patients with Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma Regardless of Subsequent Treatment
Conclusion: A time-dependent effect of skeletal muscle density on OS was found in patients with PHC, regardless of subsequent treatment. Low skeletal muscle density may identify patients at risk for early death.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Is Enhanced One-Stage Hepatectomy a Safe and Feasible Alternative to the Two-Stage Hepatectomy in the Setting of Multiple Bilobar Colorectal Liver Metastases? A Comparative Analysis between Two Pioneering Centers
Conclusions: E-OSH is a safe alternative to TSH for multiple bilobar deep-located CLM. Whenever feasible, E-OSH should even be considered the preferred option because it has excellent safety and oncological outcomes equivalent to completed TSH, without the drop-out risk.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Need of Emergency Surgery in Elderly Patients with Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Survival Analysis during 2009 –2015
Conclusion: Today, emergency surgery is seldom needed in the patients with UGIB. In comparison to the age-matched control population, long-term survival was significantly lower after UGIB in the elderly.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Severity of Diverticulitis Does Not Influence Abdominal Complaints during Long-Term Follow-Up
Conclusion: This retrospective study on patients after operation for diverticulitis shows that in the long term, the severity of the abdominal complaints is influenced neither by the stage of the disease nor by the fact of whether it was performed in an acute or elective setting.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

The Clinical Management of Main Duct Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm of the Pancreas
Conclusion: The management of presumed IPMNs involving the MPD at our Institution is in line with the International Association of Pancreatology 2012 guidelines, revised in 2016. Surgical resection proposed should achieve the complete removal of the tumor with negative margins. Despite a good prognosis in terms of survival of overall resected main duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, follow-up should not be discontinued.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Minimally Invasive versus Open Approach for Right-Sided Colectomy: A Study in 12,006 Patients from the Dutch Surgical Colorectal Audit
Conclusion: In this non-randomized, descriptive study conducted in the Netherlands, open right colectomy seems to have a higher risk for complications and mortality as compared to laparoscopic right colectomy, even after correction for confounding factors.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Comparative Study of Predictive Mortality Scores in Esophagectomy with Three-Field Lymph Node Dissection in Patients with Esophageal Cancer
Conclusion: There is no accurate prognosis score for esophagectomy in patients who undergo high-risk procedures like 3FLD. New scores are needed to predict the mortality after 3FLD with good discriminatory power. Independent factors affect survival and may function as the baseline for obtaining a new accurate mortality score.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)
