Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Biliary Drainage: Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Hepaticogastrostomy in Malignant Biliary Obstruction

Patients with unresectable malignant biliary obstruction often require biliary drainage to decompress the biliary system. Endoscopic Retrograde ...

Obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are rampant in South East Asia. There is paucity of data exploring its' impact on donor suitability for living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). We aimed to describe and examine the factors related to non-utilization of potential donors in our LDLT programme.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and obesity among adult donors are major challenges to living-donor liver transplantation: A single-center experience.

. Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) has gained increasing support over the last few years. The aim of this narrative review is to analyse the published evidence on the use and potential benefits of SILS in hepatic and pancreatic resectional surgery for benign and malignant pathology. . Pubmed and Embase databases were searched using the search terms "single incision laparoscopic", "single port laparoscopic", "liver surgery", and "pancreas surgery". . Twenty relevant manuscripts for liver and 9 for pancreatic SILS resections were identified. With regard to liver surgery, despite the lack of comparative studies with other minimal invasive techniques, outcomes have been acceptable when certain limitations are taken into account. For pancreatic resections, when compared to the conventional laparoscopic approach, SILS produced comparable results with regard to intra- and postoperative parameters, including length of hospitalisation and complications. Similarly, the results were comparable to robotic pancreatectomies, with the exception of the longer operative time reported with the robotic approach. . Despite the limitations, the published evidence supports that SILS is safe and feasible for liver and pancreatic resections when performed by experienced teams in the tertiary setting. However, no substantial benefit has been identified yet, especially compared to other minimal invasive techniques.

The Role of the Single Incision Laparoscopic Approach in Liver and Pancreatic Resectional Surgery.

Achieving critical view of safety (CVS) is vital during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). There is no known study determining use of indocyanine green fluorescence cholangiography (ICGFC) in early identification of CVS during LC. This study aims to compare use of ICGFC in LC against conventional LC in early identification of CVS.

Early identification of the critical view of safety in laparoscopic cholecystectomy using indocyanine green fluorescence cholangiography: A randomised controlled study.

: Supraglottic airway devices have increasingly been used as the airway technique of choice in laparoscopic surgeries. This study compared the efficacy and safety of the Baska Mask with endotracheal tube (ETT) in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.: This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial recruited 60 patients aged 18-75 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists' classifications I to III. The time taken to achieve effective airway, number of attempts, ease of insertion, ventilation parameters, hemodynamics data, and pharyngolaryngeal complications were recorded.: The time taken to achieve effective airway was shorter for the Baska group (26.6 ± 4.7 vs. 47.2 ± 11.8 s; p < 0.001), although the first-time insertion success rate was ≥90% for both groups. The ETT group experienced more pharyngolaryngeal complications, including cough, trauma, spasm, dysphonia, and sore throat, during device insertion and removal and had higher systolic and diastolic blood pressures during intubation (p = 0.001). The Baska Mask achieved significantly lower peak airway pressure (p = 0.024) with stable oropharyngeal leak pressure ≥33 cmHO throughout the surgery.: The Baska Mask is a suitable alternative to endotracheal intubation in selected patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, with shorter insertion times, fewer perioperative complications, and improved ventilatory performance and hemodynamic response.Trial registration: The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03045835), 8 February 2017.
