Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging modalities in the diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis of sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy.
James A Toft,William J. Hadden,Jerome M. Laurence,Vincent W. T. Lam,Lawrence Yuen,Anna Janssen,Henry Pleass +6 more
TL;DR: All modalities, except for PET, are equivalent within 95% confidence intervals for the diagnosis of PDAC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Significant elevations of serum lipase not caused by pancreatitis: a systematic review
TL;DR: Clinicians should utilize this knowledge in the interpretation and management of patients who have lipase levels over three times as high as the ULN, remaining vigilant for an alternative diagnosis to pancreatitis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Percutaneous vs. endoscopic pre-operative biliary drainage in hilar cholangiocarcinoma – a systematic review and meta-analysis
Ahmer Hameed,Ahmer Hameed,Tony C. Y. Pang,Tony C. Y. Pang,Judy Chiou,Henry Pleass,Henry Pleass,Vincent W. T. Lam,Vincent W. T. Lam,Michael J. Hollands,Michael J. Hollands,Emma Johnston,Arthur J. Richardson,Arthur J. Richardson,Lawrence Yuen,Lawrence Yuen +15 more
TL;DR: EBD may be associated with more immediate procedure-related complications, although it is certainly not inferior compared to PTBD in the long term, and portal vein embolization in patients undergoing drainage is not inferior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laparoscopic or open cholecystectomy in cirrhosis: a systematic review of outcomes and meta-analysis of randomized trials
Jerome M. Laurence,Jerome M. Laurence,Peter Duy Tran,Arthur J. Richardson,Arthur J. Richardson,Henry Pleass,Henry Pleass,Vincent W. T. Lam,Vincent W. T. Lam +8 more
TL;DR: There was a reduction in the overall incidences of postoperative complications and infectious complications and a shorter length of hospital stay in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and LC appears to be associated with shorter operative time, reduced complication rates and reduced length ofospital stay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incomplete Ablation After Radiofrequency Ablation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Analysis of Risk Factors and Prognostic Factors
Vincent W. T. Lam,Kelvin K. Ng,Kenneth S. H. Chok,Tan To Cheung,Jimmy Yuen,Helen Tung,Wai Kuen Tso,Sheung Tat Fan,Ronnie T.P. Poon +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that incomplete ablation after RFA of HCC was associated with tumor size >3 cm, and it is suggested that aggressive further treatment of tumors with complete ablation aiming at complete tumor response improves overall survival.
