  The Importance of Adhesion Prevention in Hepatobiliary Surgery

  Time-to-interventional failure is an important concept in surgical management of both hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal liver metastases because repeat resection for recurrence could prolong survival in these disease entities. However, repeat hepatectomy is generally technically demanding due to presence of adhesion formed after previous surgery. As such, prevention of adhesion formation is important to secure the safety and curability of repeat hepatectomy. In this talk, Prof. Junichi Shindoh will talk about the efficacy of adhesion barriers and technical tips for safe repeat hepatectomy.

  Non-autologous stump reinforcement after distal pancreatectomy

  Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) occurs in 5-50% of patients after distal pancreatectomy (DP).

  Despite progress in surgical techniques, POPF remains a major source of morbidity and mortality after pancreatic resections, leading to increased hospital stays, healthcare costs, and can be a possible cause of delayed chemotherapy for patients with malignancy.

  However, there is still no consensus about the most effective method of stump closure to prevent POPF.

  In this webinar, Prof. Abraham Fingerhut summarises  the insights gained from a systematic PRISMA-P compliant literature review and meta-analysis of RCTs on non-autologous stump closure after distal pancreatectomy.
