To compare early patency and outcomes of single outflow (SOT) and double outflow (DOT) reconstruction in right lobe living donor liver transplantation (RtLDLT) in a multicenter open-labelled randomized controlled trial. ⋯ SOT has better early neoMHV patency than DOT and may be associated with better early survival.

To characterize the association between type of fellowship training and patient outcomes following hepatopancreatic (HP) surgery across different surgeon career stages using a national representative cohort of Medicare beneficiaries. ⋯ Achievement of TO following an HP procedure was higher among surgeons who had completed a dedicated HPB fellowship, especially during early and middle career stages. Further efforts should be made to enhance HP surgery exposure and training for CGSO fellows interested in a career in HPB surgery.

The present study aimed to assess the efficacy of this approach and establish the criteria that identify LAPC patients who may achieve survival benefits from RRCIA. ⋯ This study suggests that RRCIA appears to be effective and associated with improved outcomes for LAPC patients with favorable response to systemic treatment. LAPC patients Should have at least 8 cycles of systemic treatment and CA19-9 normalization to be considered for RRCIA.
