To define long-term outcome, predictors of survival, and risk of disease recurrence after gut transplantation (GT) in patients with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO). ⋯ GT is life-saving for patients with end-stage CIPO and HPN-associated complications. Long-term survival is achievable with better quality of life and low risk of disease recurrence.

Observational Study
Predicting Acute Pain After Surgery: A Multivariate Analysis.
To identify perioperative practice patterns that predictably impact postoperative pain. ⋯ The presented analysis offers detailed insight into current practice patterns and reveals modifications that can be implemented in today's clinical practice. Our results also suggest that parameters other than those currently studied are relevant for postoperative pain including biological and psychological variables.

Drain Placement After Uncomplicated Hepatic Resection Increases Severe Postoperative Complication Rate: A Japanese Multi-institutional Randomized Controlled Trial (ND-trial).
To assess the clinical impact of a no-drain policy after hepatic resection. ⋯ Drains should not be placed after uncomplicated hepatic resections.

Multicenter Study
Updated Alternative Fistula Risk Score (ua-FRS) to Include Minimally Invasive Pancreatoduodenectomy: Pan-European Validation.
The aim of the study was to validate and optimize the alternative Fistula Risk Score (a-FRS) for patients undergoing minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD) in a large pan-European cohort. ⋯ The updated a-FRS (www.pancreascalculator.com) now includes male sex as a risk factor and is validated for both MIPD and open pancreatoduodenectomy. The increased risk of POPF in laparoscopic MIPD was associated with single-row pancreatojejunostomy, which should therefore be discouraged.
