Reconsidering the absence of extrapancreatic extension in T staging for pancreatic adenocarcinoma in the AJCC (8th ed) Staging Manual using the National Cancer Database
ConclusionsEPEx was an important prognostic factor in the overall cohort and in differentiating between T stages. This study strongly suggests that staging systems should reinstate EPEx and apply it to all T-stages, especially in T1, where EPEx was absent in 36% of patients.

Liver Anatomy 2.0 Quiz: Test Your Knowledge
AbstractThe liver is one the largest organs in the abdomen and the most frequent site of metastases for gastrointestinal tumors. Surgery on this complex and highly vascularized organ can be associated with high morbidity even in experienced hands. A thorough understanding of liver anatomy is key to approaching liver surgery with confidence and preventing complications. The aim of this quiz is to provide an active learning tool for a comprehensive understanding of liver anatomy and its integration into clinical practice. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

Postoperative Liver Failure: Definitions, Risk factors, Prediction Models and Prevention Strategies
ConclusionGiven the absence of randomized data specifically related to the management of PHLF, current strategies are based on the principles of management of acute liver failure  from any cause. In addition, goal-directed therapy for organ dysfunction, as well as identification and treatment of reversible factors in the postoperative period are critical.

Surgical Planning for “Borderline Resectable” and “Locally Advanced” Pancreatic Cancer During Open Pancreatic Resection
AbstractPancreatic resection for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most complex procedures in abdominal surgery due to the technical and oncological challenges given by its local aggressive growth. The improvement of new multidrug chemotherapy regimens and surgical techniques has increased the caseload of “borderline resectable” (BR) or even “locally advanced” (LA) PDAC candidates for surgical resection. As a result, the increased heterogeneity of surgical scenarios has made it essential to utilize a tailored surgical strategy for each individual case. Notably, the strategy employed to approa ch...
