Hepatic vein anatomy related to Laennec's capsule for liver resection
ConclusionsThe existence of the two layers of Laennec's capsule around the hepatic veins was confirmed histologically and they were separable. Identification and decollement of these layers would contribute to establishing safe and feasible anatomic liver resection techniques. (Source: Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences)

Validation study of the JSHBPS nomogram for patients with colorectal liver metastases who underwent hepatic resection in the recent era ‐ a nationwide survey in Japan
ConclusionsThe JSHBPS nomogram remains beneficial for patients undergoing upfront hepatectomy in the recent era but is less effective for patients undergoing hepatectomy after chemotherapy. Patients with a Beppu score ≥ 7 showed high-risk recurrence, and adjuvant chemotherapy should be recommended for these patients. (Source: Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences)

Morbidity of Colectomy During Pancreatoduodenectomy: An Analysis of the Pancreas ‐targeted American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Registry
ConclusionsConcurrent colectomy at the time of pancreatoduodenectomy significantly increased the odds of serious morbidity but did not affect mortality. This should be considered in operative planning, preoperative counseling, and sequencing of cancer-directed treatments. (Source: Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences)

The significance of osteosarcopenia as a predictor of the long ‐term outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatic resection
ConclusionPreoperative osteosarcopenia may be a prognostic factor in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatic resection. Our results suggests that the preoperative maintenance of skeletal muscle and bone density may potentially improve prognosis. (Source: Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences)

Characteristic submucosal alteration in biliary carcinogenesis of pancreaticobiliary maljunction with a focus on inflammasome activation
ConclusionActivated fibroblasts and M2 macrophages in the GB lamina propria may be associated with biliary carcinogenesis of PBM, possibly through inflammasome activation. (Source: Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences)

Comprehensive data of 4,502 patients newly diagnosed with colorectal liver metastasis between 2015 and 2017, and prognostic data of 2,427 patients newly diagnosed with colorectal liver metastasis in 2013 and 2014: Third report of a nationwide survey in Japan
ConclusionAnalysis of the latest nationwide database of patients diagnosed with CRLM revealed changes in patients and oncological characteristics, a transition in treatment strategy, and different independent prognosticators to those reported previously.

Outcome of metal vs plastic stents for biliary obstruction in patients with pancreatic carcinoma undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis

Bridging Therapies for Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma Awaiting Liver Transplantation: A Systematic Review and Meta ‐Analysis on Intention‐to‐Treat Outcomes
ConclusionPatients submitted to bridging procedures, despite having a longer interval on the waiting list, presented better post-LT survival outcomes. Bridging therapies for selected patients at low risk of post-procedural complications and long expected intervals on the waiting list should be encouraged. However, further clinical trials should confirm the survival benefit of bridging therapies in patients with HCC listed for LT. (Source: Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences)
