Prognostic impact of the Bismuth-Corlette classification: Higher rates of local unresectability in stage IIIb hilar cholangiocarcinoma
ConclusionsWhen hilar cholangiocarcinoma is preoperatively staged as BC IIIb, surgeons should anticipate higher rates of locally unresectable disease, likely involving the right hepatic artery. (Source: Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Diseases International)

Benefits and limitations of middle bile duct segmental resection for extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
ConclusionsBDR was comparable in prognosis to PD in middle bile duct cancer. Less invasiveness and lower morbidity of BDR justified this technique for selected patients in a poor general condition. (Source: Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Diseases International)

Human microbiome is a diagnostic biomarker in hepatocellular carcinoma
ConclusionsThe human microbiome is valuable to the diagnosis of HCC and provides a novel strategy for targeted therapy of HCC. The human microbiome may be widely used in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis for multiple system diseases or cancers in the future. (Source: Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Diseases International)

Risk factors for delayed hemorrhage after endoscopic sphincterotomy
ConclusionsThe incidence of post-EST delayed hemorrhage was 1.62% in our study. Intraoperative bleeding and directional deviation of incision are independent risk factors for post-EST delayed hemorrhage. (Source: Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Diseases International)

Cholecystoenteric fistula with and without gallstone ileus: A case series
ConclusionsThere is no consensus on the best treatment modality for a CEF, as the treatment outcome is mostly dependent on the surgeon's expertise and the patient's condition. Not all CEFs are accompanied by gallstone ileus. For such case, the main purpose is to resolve the intestinal obstruction and, unless necessary, avoidance of the gallbladder area.
