Multicenter Study
Renoportal Anastomosis during Liver Transplantation in Patients with Portal Vein Thrombosis: First Long-Term Results from a Multicenter Study.
To evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of RPA in a large multicentric series. ⋯ Despite a high rate of PHT-related complications, excellent long-term patient and graft survival could be achieved. RPA could be considered successful in the vast majority of patients. The expanded use of RPA is warranted.

To evaluate the association between postoperative opioid prescription size and patient-reported satisfaction among surgical patients. ⋯ In a large cohort of patients undergoing common surgical procedures, there was no association between opioid prescription size at discharge after surgery and patient satisfaction. This implies that surgeons can provide significantly smaller opioid prescriptions after surgery without negatively affecting patient satisfaction.

To assess the prevalence, magnitude, and disclosure status of industry funding in editorial boards of surgery journals. ⋯ Industry funding to editorial board members of high impact surgery journals is prevalent and underreported. Mechanisms of disclosure for COI are needed at the editorial board level to provide readers full transparency. This would acknowledge this COI of editorial board members, and thereby attempt to potentially further reduce the risk of bias in editorial decisions.

We performed genome-wide expression profiling to develop an exosomal miRNA panel for predicting recurrence following surgery in patients with PDAC. ⋯ We identified a novel, noninvasive exo-miRNA signature that robustly predicts recurrence following surgery in patients with PDAC; highlighting its potential clinical impact for optimized patient selection and improved individualized treatment strategies.
