Textbook outcome as a composite measure of quality in hepaticopancreatic surgery
ConclusionsTO is a composite that can be applied to a national data set to analyze outcome quality. In HS, more complex surgical procedures are associated with a decreased likelihood of TO. In PS, TO are similar regardless of the procedure but less common in obese or morbidly obese patients. (Source: Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences)

Impact of antithrombotic therapy on postpancreatectomy hemorrhage in 7116 patients: A project study by the Japanese Society of Hepato ‐Biliary‐Pancreatic Surgery
ConclusionsThis multicenter study demonstrated that a history of antithrombotic use was a significant risk factor for PPH and mortality. In particular, the resumption of antithrombotic therapy in the early postoperative period should be done with caution. (Source: Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences)

The application of low echo reduction in endoscopic ultrasound ‐guided tissue acquisition for pancreatic mass lesions
Toyonaga and colleagues demonstrate, with accompanying video, the use of low echo reduction, which is a novel endoscopic ultrasound function provided by a new endoscopic ultrasound processor that increases contrast without white-out. Low echo reduction might be useful in improving lesion boundaries and needle visibility during endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition. (Source: Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences)
