The main aims of this study are: 1. - to evaluate post-surgical morbidity and mortality outcomes, following the criteria and the definitions from Claven-Dindo and ISGPS international classifications, of the patients operated by the HPB Surgical Unit. 2. - to evaluate survival and disease-free survival rates of the patients operated by the HPB Surgical Unit due to tumoral cause.
This trial studies how well electronic neurocognitive tools work in screening for mental capability in patients who are undergoing liver surgery. Using electronic neurocognitive screening tools may help to better assess mental impairment.
This phase III trial studies how well thoracic epidural analgesia or four-quadrant transversus abdominus plane block works in reducing pain in patients undergoing liver surgery. It is not yet known whether thoracic epidural analgesia or four-quadrant transversus abdominus plane block may help people to recover more completely and more quickly after surgery.
Pinaverium bromide can be used to treat symptoms related to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional disorders of the biliary tract. In this study, pinaverium bromide was compared with Vitamin C for the facilitation of bile duct and pancreatic duct cannulation in patients. The primary outcome was successful deep bile duct cannulation and pancreatic duct canulation. The second outcome was the major papillary orifice,bile juice flow from the papilla, time to achieve deep bile duct cannulation, fluoroscopy time for deep bile duct cannulation,the appearance of the major and minor papillary orifice, pancreatic juice flow from the papilla, time to achieve deep pancreatic duct cannulation, and fluoroscopy time for deep pancreatic duct cannulation in the pinaverium bromide group versus Vitamin C group.
The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy and safety of the knob-tipped knife and needle knife for precut papillotomy in difficult common bile duct (CBD)cannulation.
Our institution performs therapeutic ERCP (Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography ), Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) and Interventional Endoscopy in around 1000 patients a year. Procedures such as biliary and/or pancreatic sphincterotomy, stents placement (metallic or plastic) and removal for revision, cysts and pseudocysts drainage are conducted in patients suffering from pancreatico-biliary disorders, gastrointestinal disorders and esophageal disorders. The investigators would like to assess prospectively the efficacy and safety of these routine procedures to permit identification of technical details about the procedures or other factors which might be associated with outcome or results. Assessment of these details would help us with problem identification and recommendations to improve health outcomes and quality of life in these patients.
