Surgical Treatments of Hepatobiliary Cancers

Ganesh Gunasekaran, Yuki Bekki, Vennis Lourdusamy, Myron Schwartz – 21 May 2020 – Hepatobiliary cancers which include hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and biliary tract cancers (i.e., cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma) are associated with significant morbidity and mortality based on the stage of the disease at presentation. With improved screening for hepatobiliary malignancies in patients with risk factors and with widespread use of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, hepatobiliary malignancies, including incidental diagnosis of gallbladder carcinoma, are on the rise.

Use of Skeletal Muscle Index as a Predictor of Wait‐List Mortality in Patients With End‐Stage Liver Disease

Matthew R. Kappus, Kara Wegermann, Erol Bozdogan, Yuval A. Patel, Gemini Janas, Erin Shropshire, Alice Parish, Donna Niedzwiecki, Andrew J. Muir, Mustafa Bashir – 20 May 2020 – The aim of this study is to validate a proposed definition of sarcopenia in predicting wait‐list mortality. We retrospectively evaluated 355 adults (age ≥18 years) with cirrhosis listed for first‐time LT from January 1, 2010, to April 1, 2018 from our center. Demographic, laboratory, and outcome data were collected in conjunction with computed tomography scans performed within 3 months of listing.

LiverLearning®: 2020 Webinar: Hepatitis C: Infection Beyond the Liver

Extrahepatic manifestations of HCV contribute to its increased overall mortality rate in those infected relative to those who aren’t; associated cardiovascular, neoplastic and renal manifestations can contribute significantly to a patient’s truncated lifespan beyond liver-related morbidity. This webinar will address the recognition and the treatment of extrahepatic manifestations of chronic HCV infection. We will utilize a live webinar format that will be recorded for on-demand viewing on Liver Learning ® .Miklos Z. Molnar Dr. Miklos Z.

Safety and Benefit of Transesophageal Echocardiography in Liver Transplant Surgery: A Position Paper From the Society for the Advancement of Transplant Anesthesia (SATA)

Lorenzo De Marchi, Cindy J. Wang, Nikolaos J. Skubas, Rishi Kothari, Jeron Zerillo, Kathirvel Subramaniam, Guy E. Efune, Michelle Y.C. Braunfeld, Susan Mandel – 19 May 2020 – More anesthesiologists are routinely using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) during liver transplant surgery, but the effects on patient outcome are unknown. Transplant anesthesiologists are therefore uncertain if they should undergo additional training and adopt TEE.
