    Abstract Hepatobiliary resections are among the most complex and technically challenging surgical procedures. Even though robust evidence showed that complex surgical procedures such as hepatobiliary surgery have better short- and long-term outcomes and lower mortality rate when performed in high-volume centers, the minimal criteria of centers that can perform hepatobiliary activity are not clearly defined. We conducted a retrospective population study of patients who underwent hepatobiliary surgery for malignant disease in a single Italian administrative region (Veneto) from 2010 to 2021 with the aim to investigate the hospitals annual surgical volume for hepatobiliary malignant diseases and the effect of hospital volume on in-hospital, 30- and 90-day postoperative mortality. The centralization process of hepatobiliary surgery in Veneto is rapidly increasing over the past 10 years (rate of performed in highly specialized centers increased from 62% in 2010 to 78% in 2021) and actually it is really established. The crude and adjusted (for age, sex, Charlson Index) mortality rate after hepatobiliary surgery resulted significantly lower in centers with high-volume activity compared to them with low-volume activity. In the Veneto region, the "Hub and Spoke" model led to a progressive centralization of liver and biliary cancer treatment. High surgical volume has been confirmed to be related to better outcomes in terms of mortality rate after hepatobiliary surgical procedures. Further studies are necessary to clearly define the minimal criteria and associated numerical cutoffs that can help define the characteristics of centers that can perform hepatobiliary activities.

    Abstract Hepatosplenic schistosomiasis is a complex clinical condition caused by the complications of chronic infection with Schistosoma species that cause intestinal schistosomiasis. Hepatosplenic schistosomiasis derives from the fibrotic reaction stimulated around parasite eggs that are transported by the mesenteric circulation to the liver, causing periportal fibrosis. Portal hypertension and variceal gastrointestinal bleeding are major complications of hepatosplenic schistosomiasis. The clinical management of hepatosplenic schistosomiasis is not standardised and a parameter that could guide clinical decision making has not yet been identified. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) appears promising for use in hepatosplenic schistosomiasis but is still reported in very few patients. In this Grand Round, we report one patient with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis treated with TIPS, which resulted in regression of oesophageal varices but had to be followed by splenectomy due to persisting severe splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia. We summarise the main challenges in the clinical management of this patient with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis, highlight results of a scoping review of the literature, and evaluate the use of of TIPS in patients with early hepatosplenic schistosomiasis, to improve the prognosis.

    Abstract Objective: Studying liver anatomy can be challenging for medical students and surgical residents due to its complexity. Three-dimensional visualization technology (3DVT) allows for a clearer and more precise view of liver anatomy. We sought to assess how 3DVT can assist students and surgical residents comprehend liver anatomy.
    Design: Data from 5 patients who underwent liver resection for malignancy at our institution between September 2020 and April 2022 were retrospectively reviewed and selected following consensus among the investigators. Participants were required to complete an online survey to investigate their understanding of tumor characteristics and vascular variations based on patients' computed tomography (CT) and 3DVT.
    Setting: The study was carried out at the General and Hepato-Biliary Surgery Department of the University of Verona.
    Participants: Among 32 participants, 13 (40.6%) were medical students, and 19 (59.4%) were surgical residents.
    Results: Among 5 patients with intrahepatic lesions, 4 patients (80.0%) had at least 1 vascular variation. Participants identified number and location of lesions more correctly when evaluating the 3DVT (84.6% and 80.9%, respectively) compared with CT scans (61.1% and 64.8%, respectively) (both p ≤ 0.001). The identification of any vascular variations was more challenging using the CT scans, with only 50.6% of correct answers compared with 3DVT (72.2%) (p < 0.001). Compared with CT scans, 3DVT led to a 23.5%, 16.1%, and 21.6% increase in the correct definition of number and location of lesions, and vascular variations, respectively. 3DVT allowed for a decrease of 50.8 seconds (95% CI 23.6-78.0) in the time needed to answer the questions. All participants agreed on the usefulness of 3DVT in hepatobiliary surgery.
    Conclusions: The 3DVT facilitated a more precise preoperative understanding of liver anatomy, tumor location and characteristics.

    Abstract Background: Recurrent or locally advanced peri-hilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHCC) usually involves the portal vein (PV) leading to significant stenosis. With disease progression, clinical symptoms such as ascites, bleeding, and hepatic insufficiency are usually observed. Little is know about the benefit of PV stenting in relieving the symptoms associated to portal hypertension and allowing anticancer therapies. The aim of this study is to review our experience in PV stenting for PHCC patients.
    Methods: From 2014 to 2022, data from PHCC patients underwent PV stenting at Verona University Hospital, Italy, were reviewed. The indications were: gastrointestinal bleeding from esophagus-gastric varices, ascites not responsive to medical therapy, severe thrombocytopenia, liver insufficiency (hepatic jaundice, coagulopathy, and/or hyperammoniemia), or asymptomatic high-grade PV stenosis. Cavernous transformation and intrahepatic thrombosis in both sides of the liver were considered contraindication. Systematic anticoagulation therapy was not administered.
    Results: Technical success was achieved in all 16 (100 %) patients. The improvement of clinical symptoms were observed in 12 (75 %) patients. Anticancer therapy was administrated in 11 (69 %) patients. 2 (13 %) complications were observed: 1 biliary injury and 1 recurrent cholangitis that required a percutaneous trans-hepatic biliary drainage placement. Stent occlusion for tumor progression occurred in 1 patient and a re-stenting procedure was successfully performed. No case of thrombotic stent occlusion was observed during follow up. The 1-year stent patency was 86 % and the median patency period was 8 months (IQR, 4-12).
    Conclusion: PV stenting is a feasible and safe palliative treatment that improves clinical condition, allow anticancer therapies, and provide a better quality of life.
