Small and Stable Pancreatic Cysts Are Reassuring During Surveillance: Results From the PACYFIC Trial Open
Background Pancreatic cysts are increasingly discovered on imaging studies performed for unrelated conditions. Currently, surveillance of these lesions poses a substantial burden on patients, and health care recourses. We hypothesized that…

Venous Resection During Pancreatoduodenectomy for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma—A Multicentre Propensity Score Matching Analysis of the Recurrence After Whipple’s (RAW) Study Open
Background: Pancreatoduodenectomy with venous resection (PDVR) may be performed to achieve tumour clearance in patients with a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with venous involvement. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of PDVR…

Prediction of Severe Acute Pancreatitis at a Very Early Stage of the Disease Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques, Without Laboratory Data or Imaging Tests Open
Objective: To evaluate machine learning models’ performance in predicting acute pancreatitis severity using early-stage variables while excluding laboratory and imaging tests. Summary Background Data: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) affect…

Enhanced Artificial Intelligence Methods for Liver Steatosis Assessment Using Machine Learning and Color Image Processing: Liver Color Project Open
Background The use of livers with significant steatosis is associated with worse transplantation outcomes. Brain death donor liver acceptance is mostly based on subjective surgeon assessment of liver appearance, since steatotic livers acqu…

Patterns, timing and predictors of recurrence following pancreaticoduodenectomy for distal cholangiocarcinoma: An international multicentre retrospective cohort study Open
Two thirds of patients have cancer recurrence following pancreaticoduodenectomy for dCCA, and most recur within three years of surgery. The commonest sites of recurrence are the pancreatic bed, liver and lung. Multiple histological feature…

Minimally invasive robot-assisted and laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy in a pan-European registry a retrospective cohort study Open
Background: International guidelines recommend monitoring the use and outcome of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery (MIPS). However, data from prospective international audits on minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) are lacki…

The role of clinically relevant intra-abdominal collections after pancreaticoduodenectomy Open
Background There is controversial evidence regarding the impact of clinically relevant postoperative intra-abdominal collections (CR-IC) on the clinical course after pancreaticoduodenectomy. C-reactive Protein (CRP) has been validated as a…

Do some patients receive unnecessary parenteral nutrition after pancreatoduodenectomy? Results from an international multicentre study Open
A considerable number of patients who had an uneventful recovery received PN. PN is not without risk, and should be reserved for those who are unable to take an oral diet. PD patients should undergo pre- and postoperative assessment by nut…
View article: Discharge protocol in acute pancreatitis: an international survey and cohort analysis
Discharge protocol in acute pancreatitis: an international survey and cohort analysis Open
There are several overlapping clinical practice guidelines in acute pancreatitis (AP), however, none of them contains suggestions on patient discharge. The Hungarian Pancreatic Study Group (HPSG) has recently developed a laboratory data an…

Postoperative complications after pancreatoduodenectomy for malignancy: results from the Recurrence After Whipple’s (RAW) study Open
Background Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with significant postoperative morbidity. Surgeons should have a sound understanding of the potential complications for consenting and benchmarking purposes. Furthermore, preoperative ide…

Does an extensive diagnostic workup for upfront resectable pancreatic cancer result in a delay which affects survival? Results from an international multicentre study Open
Although a treatment delay may give rise to patient anxiety, our findings would suggest this does not correlate with worse survival. A delay may be necessary to obtain further information and minimize the number of PD patients diagnosed wi…
View article: The additive value of CA19.9 monitoring in a pancreatic cyst surveillance program
The additive value of CA19.9 monitoring in a pancreatic cyst surveillance program Open
Background Surveillance of pancreatic cysts focuses on the detection of (mostly morphologic) features warranting surgery. European guidelines consider elevated CA19.9 as a relative indication for surgery. We aimed to evaluate the role of C…
View article: The role of high serum triglyceride levels on pancreatic necrosis development and related complications
The role of high serum triglyceride levels on pancreatic necrosis development and related complications Open
Background The relevance of elevated serum triglyceride (TG) levels in the early stages of acute pancreatitis (AP) not induced by hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) remains unclear. Our study aims to determine the role of elevated serum TG levels …

Robot-Assisted Versus Laparoscopic Distal Pancreatectomy in Patients with Resectable Pancreatic Cancer: An International, Retrospective, Cohort Study Open
Background Robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy (RDP) is increasingly used as an alternative to laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer but comparative multicenter studies confirming the safet…

Benchmarking of robotic and laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy by using two different methods Open
Background Benchmarking is an important tool for quality comparison and improvement. However, no benchmark values are available for minimally invasive spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, either laparoscopically or robotically assisted…
