Postoperative Opioid Use Is Associated with Increased Rates of Grade B/C Pancreatic Fistula After Distal Pancreatectomy
ConclusionEarly postoperative opioid use after distal pancreatectomy was associated with increased odds of CR-POPF. Decreasing perioperative opioid use through enhanced postoperative management is a low-cost and generalizable approach that may reduce rates of CR-POPF after distal pancreatectomy.

Impact of preoperative chemotherapy on perioperative morbidity in combined resection of colon cancer and liver metastases
ConclusionPatients who are deemed to be candidates for preoperative chemotherapy can proceed with planned neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to combined resection of primary colon cancer and sLM as preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy does not appear to be associated with increased postoperative morbidity.

Immunotherapy for Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma-a Large Tertiary Center Experience
ConclusionIn our institutional experience, treatment naivety and pre-treatment AFP>400 ng/mL were associated with objective response. Prospective studies aimed at identifying factors associated with response to immunotherapy will aide patient selection. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

Pain and Opioid Consumption After Laparoscopic Versus Open Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer: A Secondary Analysis of a Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial (LOGICA-Trial)
ConclusionIn this multicenter randomized trial, postoperative pain was comparable between laparoscopic and open gastrectomy. After laparoscopic gastrectomy, this was generally achieved without epidural analgesia and with fewer opioids.Trial RegistrationNCT02248519. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

Instructional Video For Hepaticojejunostomy Anastomosis Ensuring Evenly Spaced Sutures
AbstractObjectiveWe demonstrate a surgical technique involving construction of a hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) anastomosis that ensures even spacing between the sutures regardless of the size of the common bile duct. This is demonstrated via a series of illustrations followed by live demonstration of a HJ anastomosis created during a Whipple procedure.Video DescriptionOverall, this technique results in the creation of a tension-free hepaticojejunostomy anastomosis, that typically does not require stenting, is highly reliable and replicable regardless of the size of the common bile duct. It is also easily reproducible and easy t...
