952 Reducing Length of Stay After Appendectomy for Acute Appendicitis: A Quality Improvement Project Open
Introduction The Royal Wolverhampton Trust was an outlier in the length of stay (LOS) for emergency appendectomies, with only 4.1% of patients discharged within 2 days. This project aimed to reduce LOS to under 2 days by implementing a sta…

Current Practices and Perceptions of Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Guided Liver Surgery: Insights from a Survey of Hepato-pancreato-biliary Surgeons in the United Kingdom Open
Background: Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence-guided surgery (I-FIGS) is increasingly being used in hepato-pancreatico-biliary (HPB) surgery. However, the true benefit of I-FIGS, the optimum dosing, and the timing of ICG administration …

A feasibility randomized controlled trial testing the use of indocyanine green fluorescence image-guidance in liver surgery compared to standard liver surgery alone in reducing microscopic positive tumor margin resection rate with an embedded qualitative study: the I-FIGS study protocol Open
Indocyanine green fluorescence image-guidance (I-FIGS) is gaining global popularity in liver surgery for various applications. However, its true clinical value in reducing microscopic positive margins (R1-resection rate) remains uncertain.…

HPB V09 Pringles manoeuvre- How we do it! Open
Background Minimally invasive liver resection (MILR) is a complex surgical procedure requiring extensive training and expertise. One of the critical challenges in MILR is the control of bleeding from the transection plane. Intraoperative b…

HPB V08 Fluorescence Image Guidance (FIG) in minimally invasive liver surgery- can it help identify deep margins? Open
Background Despite recent advances in imaging modalities and surgical techniques in liver resection, the rate of R1 resection in liver tumours is still high. Currently, liver surgeons plan the type of liver resection based on information g…
