TLDR
A definition and grading of severity of posthepatectomy liver failure is proposed, which can be used in future studies to allow objective and accurate comparisons of operative interventions in the field of hepatic surgery.

Evolution of surgical treatment for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma: a single-center 34-year review of 574 consecutive resections.

TL;DR: Surgical treatment of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma has been evolving steadily, with expanded surgical indication, decreased mortality, and increased survival, with lymph node metastasis was the strongest prognostic indicator.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of abnormal liver function tests

TL;DR: The interpretation of the routinely performed liver tests along with the indications and utility of quantitative tests are discussed, including the Model for End Stage Liver Disease rather than any single parameter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physiological and biochemical basis of clinical liver function tests: a review

TL;DR: Because of the complexity of liver function, one single test does not represent overall liver function and quantitative liver function tests should be used to determine whether a safe resection can be performed.
Journal ArticleDOI

How much remnant is enough in liver resection

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to identify the limits for a safe liver resection in patients with normal liver and injured liver (cirrhosis, cholestasis, steatosis and post-chemotherapy liver injury) and to investigate the different risk factors related to the occurrence of PHLF.

Transection of the oesophagus for bleeding oesophageal varices

TL;DR: Emergency ligation of bleeding oesophageal varices using the Milnes Walker technique was performed in 38 patients, and in patients with good preoperative liver function this rose to 71% and the simple scoring system for grading the severity of disturbance of liver function was found to be of value in predicting the outcome of surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

A model to predict survival in patients with end‐stage liver disease

TL;DR: The MELD scale is a reliable measure of mortality risk in patients with end‐stage liver disease and suitable for use as a disease severity index to determine organ allocation priorities in patient groups with a broader range of disease severity and etiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Postoperative pancreatic fistula: an international study group (ISGPF) definition.

TL;DR: In this article, an international panel of pancreatic surgeons, working in well-known, high-volume centers, reviewed the literature on the topic and worked together to develop a simple, objective, reliable, and easy-to-apply definition of postoperative pancreatic fistula, graded primarily on clinical impact.

Special article Postoperative pancreatic fistula: An international study group (ISGPF) definition

TL;DR: The present definition and clinical grading of POPF should allow realistic comparisons of surgical experiences in the future when new techniques, new operations, or new pharmacologic agents that may impact surgical treatment of pancreatic disorders are addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A model to predict poor survival in patients undergoing transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts.

TL;DR: This Mayo TIPS model may predict early death following elective TIPS for either prevention of variceal rebleeding or for treatment of refractory ascites, superior to both the Child‐Pugh classification and the Child-Pugh score in predicting survival.
