Reply to: Impact of preoperative biliary drainage on postoperative outcome after pancreaticoduodenectomy
No full textWe appreciated the Letter by Li et al. regarding our manuscript on the impact of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) on postoperative outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). The manuscript reflects the institutional policy of the jaundice treatment of the patients undergoing PD. Our center is a high volume center, treating patients that had often received a PBD in a country-hospital. In this setting, we believe that the bilirubin cutoff described could be the decision driver for the PBD. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
Surgery for Distal Cholangiocarcinoma
No full textCholangiocarcinoma is a heterogeneous group of neoplasms, which has a rising worldwide incidence. Therefore, it is now a major cause of cancer mortality. Diagnosis, staging, treatment approaches and outcomes differ significantly based on the location of the tumor. Given the challenges of remaining up-to-date in a rapidly expanding field, the aim of this monograph is to provide a comprehensive, fully referenced presentation of the state-of-the-art medical and surgical aspects relevant to the management of cholangiocarcinoma divided by the site of origin (i.e. intrahepatic, hilar and distal). The division of the book into these sections reflects the biological and clinical differences between these tumor types and will permit the authors to address the diagnostic, interventional or treatment issues specific to each tumor type. By presenting all medical and surgical aspects of cholangiocarcinoma in a systematic manner, this monograph will be a ready-to-use instrument for those interested in cholangiocarcinoma, including practicing physicians, residents, fellows and specialists. A list of 66 world-renowned experts contributed to the book, offering the readers the unique opportunity to have a broad perspective on these diseases, practical indications on patient selection and treatment that can be easily applied to both Eastern and Western clinical settings
