10th Anniversary of ALPPS-Lessons Learned and quo Vadis.

TL;DR: Although ALPPS is now an established 2-stage hepatectomy additional data are warranted to further refine indication and technical aspects, and long-term oncological outcome results are needed to establish the place of ALPPS in patients with initially nonresectable liver tumors.

Classification of surgical complications: a new proposal with evaluation in a cohort of 6336 patients and results of a survey.

TL;DR: The new complication classification appears reliable and may represent a compelling tool for quality assessment in surgery in all parts of the world.

The comprehensive complication index: a novel continuous scale to measure surgical morbidity.

TL;DR: The CCI summarizes all postoperative complications and is more sensitive than existing morbidity endpoints and may serve as a standardized and widely applicable primary endpoint in surgical trials and other interventional fields of medicine.

Right portal vein ligation combined with in situ splitting induces rapid left lateral liver lobe hypertrophy enabling 2-staged extended right hepatic resection in small-for-size settings.

TL;DR: Two-step hepatic resection performing surgical exploration, PVL, and ISS results in a marked and rapid hypertrophy of functional liver tissue and enables curative resection of marginally resectable liver tumors or metastases in patients that might otherwise be regarded as palliative.

Right portal vein ligation combined with in situ splitting induces rapid left lateral liver lobe hypertrophy enabling 2-staged extended right hepatic resection in small-for-size settings.

TL;DR: This procedure may be able to overcome the shortcomings of “conventional” two-stage hepatectomy and result in an increased number of patients who could benefit from surgical treatment despite initially unresectable hepatic malignancies due to too small future liver remnant volume.
