Ten-Year Survival after Liver Resection for Breast Metastases: A Single-Center Experience
Conclusion: Liver resection seems to be a safe and effective treatment for metastases from breast cancer, and encouraging long-term survival can be obtained with acceptable risk in selected patients. Tumors less than 5 cm and positive hormone receptor status are the best prognostic factors.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

A Fair Chance for Everyone: Total Tumor Volume as a Selection Tool in Liver Transplantation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Conclusions: TTV ≤115 cm3 may be a useful tool to properly identify the best HCC candidates for LT in a population with a short waiting time on list. TTV gives more patients the opportunity of undergoing LT while maintaining similar rates of tumor recurrence and patient survival.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Multivisceral Resection for Locally Invasive Colorectal Liver Metastases: Outcomes of a Matched Cohort Analysis
Conclusion: In patients presenting with concomitant CRLM and extrahepatic extension where R0 margins can be achieved, this present study supports the rationale to proceed to surgery with comparable morbidity and mortality rates to isolated hepatectomy.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Portal Vein Embolization versus Associated Liver Partition and Portal Vein Ligation for Staged Hepatectomy
Conclusion: It is imperative that the issue of a high mortality rate following ALPPS is immediately resolved before ALPPS can be widely accepted. In addition, comparison studies between PVE and ALPPS must be conducted to elicit proper and appropriate applications of PVE and ALPPS.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

The Practical Management of Chronic Pancreatitis: A Multidisciplinary Symposium Held at the Annual Meeting of the Pancreatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, Manchester 2016
Conclusion: This is a small study likely to be skewed by sampling bias but is thought to be the first multidisciplinary survey of the management of chronic pancreatitis in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The results show a need for comprehensive access to specialist pancreatitis MDT care and there remains substantial variation in management.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Survey Results of the Expert Meeting on Laparoscopic Surgery for Gallbladder Cancer and a Review of Relevant Literature
Conclusions: This survey and literature review revealed that laparoscopic surgery for GBC is performed in highly selected cases. However, the favorable outcomes in the published reports and the positive view of experienced surgeons for this operative procedure suggest a high likelihood that laparoscopic surgery will be more frequently performed for GBC in the future.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)
