Assessment of risk of bias in randomized clinical trials in surgery
TL;DR: Meta‐analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) with low risk of bias is considered the highest level of evidence available for evaluating an intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endoscopic sphincterotomy for common bile duct calculi in patients with gall bladder in situ considered unfit for surgery.
TL;DR: In this paper, an endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) was attempted in 106 patients with common bile duct calculi and gall bladders present, who were considered unfit for surgery on the grounds of age and frailty alone (35%) and/or the presence of major medical problems (65%).
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular mechanisms of liver ischemia reperfusion injury: Insights from transgenic knockout models
TL;DR: Evidence from knockout models of liver IRI about the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying liver ischaemia reperfusion injury is reviewed to reduce acute complications in hepatic resection and transplantation, as well as expanding the potential pool of usable donor grafts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of graded steatosis on flow in the hepatic parenchymal microcirculation.
TL;DR: Fatty infiltration reduces hepatic blood flow and parenchymal microcirculation and the latter is more markedly reduced with severe steatosis, which may explain the development of microcirculatory impairment and graft failure after transplantation of fatty livers despite adequate liver blood flow.

Laparoscopic versus open distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer

TL;DR: This review found 12 non-randomised studies that compared laparoscopic versus open distal pancreatectomy in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer at unclear or high risk of bias, and the overall quality of evidence was very low for all reported outcomes.
