Post-hepatectomy liver failure
➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znag004
🫀 PHLF remains the Achilles’ heel of liver surgery, with high mortality once severe liver failure develops
📊 Risk depends on functional liver remnant, liver quality, extent of resection, and postoperative complications
🔍 No reliable treatment exists, making preoperative assessment and prevention essential
📈 Volumetry, functional testing, and liver augmentation strategies are key before high-risk major hepatectomy

When evaluating patients with neuroendocrine tumors with CT, contrast timing matters. A lot...
Dual-phase imaging is critical. The patient below has a duodenal NET metastatic to the liver. Venous phase images on the left, arterial phase on the right. Which one is more informative...? Same scanner, 30-40 sec difference, I think... @PatrickMcGarrah
If the question is a NET, dual phase imaging rules!

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Professor Harold Ellis CBE FRCS, founding member and former President of BASO. An inspiring teacher, surgeon, and author of Clinical Anatomy, he shaped generations of surgeons. His legacy lives on.

How long should prophylactic antibiotics be used after pancreaticoduodenectomy following biliary drainage?
A new study shows that a 3-day course significantly reduces surgical site infections compared to the standard 24-hour duration, lowering infection rates from 32% to 14%.👍
