    Abstract Background: Causes of extrahepatic portal vein obstruction include abdominal surgeries such as pancreaticoduodenectomy. We improved jejunal variceal bleeding due to extrahepatic portal vein occlusion after pancreaticoduodenectomy, by shunting of the testicular vein.
    Case presentation: A 72-year-old man was diagnosed with extrahepatic bile duct cancer and underwent subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy 5 years ago. No postoperative complications occurred, adjuvant chemotherapy using gemcitabine hydrochloride was performed, and the patient remained recurrence-free. One year and 6 months post-operation, extrahepatic portal vein stenosis appeared, but no recurrence was noted. However, 4 years and 6 months later, recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding occurred, and the patient was diagnosed with an extrahepatic portal vein obstruction. Double-balloon enteroscopy showed capillary dilatation and varicose veins in the hepaticojejunostomy region, and venous bleeding from collateral blood vessels was diagnosed. A superior mesenteric vein to the right testicular vein shunt operation was performed, following which the gastrointestinal bleeding disappeared, and the anemia improved. Although transient hepatic encephalopathy occurred, conservative treatment relieved it. Double-balloon enteroscopy confirmed the disappearance of abnormal blood vessels.
    Conclusions: A portosystemic shunt operation using the right testicular vein effectively relieved refractory variceal bleeding around the hepaticojejunostomy site in the jejunum due to an extrahepatic portal vein obstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

    Abstract Background: Cyclic neutropenia is a disease that causes a neutropenic decrease in peripheral blood in a cycle of about 21 days. It is a rare hereditary disorder with an estimated incidence of 0.5-1 cases per million population. The absolute neutrophil count can drop to zero, and neutropenic nadir may last for 3-5 days. This is a rare disease, and there are few reports of abdominal surgery in cyclic neutropenia patients; thus, we report this case of neutrophil count fluctuation and perioperative management.
    Case presentation: A 31-year-old man with cyclic neutropenia was transferred to our hospital complaining of right season rib pain, but no rebound tenderness. His C-reactive protein was elevated (4.37 mg/L) and computed tomography revealed a large number of small stones in the gallbladder body and an incarceration in the gallbladder neck. He was diagnosed with acute cholecystitis. Ideally, surgical intervention should have been performed immediately, but because his neutrophil count was 300/μL, endoscopic naso-gallbladder drainage was performed and he was provided antibiotics until his neutrophil count increased to acceptable levels. Three days after admission, his neutrophil count had increased and laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. For one week after the operation, antibiotics were administered; he had an uneventful postoperative recovery. He was discharged on the seventh postoperative day and provided an oral antibiotic.
    Conclusions: Infection can be serious in patients with cyclic neutropenia, and it is therefore, important to determine the timing of surgery and to apply appropriate perioperative management with drainage and antibiotic administration.

    Abstract The outcome of surgery in patients who have recovered from severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is unknown. Herein, we present a case of an emergency operation for acute pan-peritonitis due to perforation of the descending colon diverticulum in a patient who recovered from severe COVID-19 pneumonia. A 59-year-old man, who had recovered from severe COVID-19 pneumonia ~6 months previously, developed acute pan-peritonitis due to perforation of a diverticulum in the descending colon. Emergency surgery was performed, and the perforation was sutured and closed. He was discharged from the hospital 13 days postoperatively. There was no relapse of COVID-19 during the perioperative period of peritonitis surgery. General perioperative management may, therefore, be sufficient in patients who have recovered from COVID-19.

    Abstract Purpose: Factors affecting the prognosis of repeat hepatectomy for transplantable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after hepatectomy remain unclear. We aimed to clarify the prognostic factors for transplantable hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after hepatectomy.
    Methods: We included 1758 primary and 486 repeat hepatectomies out of 2244 for HCC performed between 2006 and 2017 using the Hiroshima Study Group for Clinical Oncology and Surgery database. We first compared survival rates of primary and repeat hepatectomy patients. Subsequently, prognostic factors were analyzed in patients who underwent a repeat hepatectomy for transplantable hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after hepatectomy (defined as age < 70 years at the time of recurrence and recurrent tumor morphology that meets the Milan criteria).
    Results: The 5-year overall survival rate (OS) after repeat hepatectomy was 63.2%, while the 5-year recurrence-free survival rate (RFS) was 23.7%. RFS demonstrated significant inferiority in the repeat hepatectomy group than in the primary hepatectomy group; however, OS did not present a notable difference between the two cohorts. In the transplantable recurrence group, mALBI grade 2b, max tumor size > 20 mm, and multiple tumors were independent prognostic risk factors for overall survival. Patients with two or more risk factors had a significantly lower survival rate (only 30.6% at 5 years) compared to those with one or fewer risk factors (81.8% at 5 years).
    Conclusions: We identified the risk factors involved in post-hepatectomy survival for patients with transplantable recurrence after hepatectomy. The results are a potential indicator of whether salvage liver transplantation should be considered during repeat hepatectomy.

    Abstract Introduction: The importance of a nutrition scoring system, including the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), was reported as an objective tool widely used to assess nutritional status in patients with inflammatory disease, chronic heart failure, and chronic liver disease. However, studies on the relationship between GNRI and the prognosis in patients who have undergone initial hepatectomy have been limited. Thus, we conducted a multi-institutional cohort study to clarify the relationship between GNRI and long-term outcomes for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after such a procedure.
    Methods: Data from 1,494 patients who underwent initial hepatectomy for HCC between 2009 and 2018 was retrospectively collected from a multi-institutional database. The patients were divided into two groups according to GNRI grade (cutoff: 92), and their clinicopathological characteristics and long-term results were compared.
    Results: Of the 1,494 patients, the low-risk group (≥ 92; N = 1,270) was defined as having a normal nutritional status. Meanwhile, low GNRI (< 92; N = 224) were divided into malnutrition as the high-risk group. Multivariate analysis identified seven prognostic factors of poor overall survival (higher tumor markers; α-fetoprotein (AFP) and des-γ-carboxy protein [DCP], higher ICG-R15 levels, larger tumor size, multiple tumors, vascular invasion, and lower GNRI and eight prognostic factors of high recurrence (HCV antibody positive, higher ICG-R15 levels, higher tumor markers such as AFP and DCP, greater bleeding, multiple tumors, vascular invasion, and lower GNRI).
    Conclusions: In patients with HCC, preoperative GNRI predicts poorer overall survival and high recurrence.

    Abstract Background: Goblet cell adenocarcinoma is an extremely rare tumor in which the same cells exhibit both mucinous and neuroendocrine differentiation. It is considered more aggressive compared to conventional carcinoids and more likely to cause metastasis.
    Case presentation: We report a case of goblet cell adenocarcinoma with peritoneal metastases. A 62-year-old man underwent appendectomy for acute appendicitis. Intraoperatively, inflammatory white pus and a small amount of dirty ascites were observed in the lower abdomen with severely inflamed appendix. Histopathological examination of the specimen collected during appendectomy revealed goblet cell adenocarcinoma with a positive surgical margin. One month later, additional ileal resection was planned. Laparoscopic examination revealed disseminated nodules throughout the abdominal cavity. Therefore, the patient underwent resection of the peritoneal nodules. The peritoneal specimens confirmed the histopathological findings. Thus we diagnosed the patient with peritoneal dissemination of appendiceal goblet cell adenocarcinoma.
    Conclusions: In cases wherein white pus is observed during surgery for acute appendicitis, considering the possibility of dissemination, collecting samples for histopathological examination, and initiating early treatment are crucial.

    Abstract Background: Preoperative diagnosis of gallbladder amyloidosis is usually difficult. In our case, the patient exhibited gallbladder dyskinesia, which led us to suspect cholecystic amyloidosis. We were able to safely perform surgery before cholecystitis onset.
    Case presentation: A 59-year-old male patient with a history of multiple myeloma and cardiac amyloidosis presented to our hospital with a chief complaint of epicardial pain. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed an enlarged gallbladder and biliary sludge without any specific imaging findings of cholecystitis. After percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder aspiration (PTGBA), the patient experienced recurrent bile retention and right upper quadrant pain. Flopropione was effective in relieving these symptoms. Based on his symptoms and laboratory findings, we diagnosed the patient with dyskinesia of the gallbladder. Considering his medical history, we suspected that it was caused by amyloidosis of the gallbladder. A laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. The histopathological examination showed amyloid deposits in the gallbladder mucosa, from the intrinsic layer to the submucosa, and in the peripheral nerves of the gallbladder neck. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 5 and has had no recurrence of abdominal pain since then.
    Conclusion: In our case, gallbladder dyskinesia symptoms led us to suspect gallbladder amyloidosis. We safely surgically treated the patient before cholecystitis onset.

    Abstract Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive form of malignant tumor that originates in the pleural mesothelioma and presents as a local disease in the affected hemithorax. Small intestine metastasis is a rare complication. Herein, the case of a patient with jejunal intussusception caused by small intestine metastasis of MPM has been reported. A 72-year-old man with MPM was admitted to our hospital for abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed small intestine intussusception. An emergency surgery was performed, and the tumor and intussusception were located in the upper jejunum. Histopathological examination of the resected jejunum revealed that the tumor was a small intestinal metastasis of the MPM from the chest wall. This case showed that MPM may metastasize to the small intestine, and metastatic tumors may cause intussusception.

    Abstract Background/aim: We previously reported three items that preoperatively predicted complicated appendicitis (body temperature, C-reactive protein, and fluid retention around the appendix). In this study, we aimed to compare other predictors to confirm the usefulness of our predictors with those of previous reports on the items as predictors of complicated appendicitis preoperatively (criteria A which consist of 8 items, criteria B which consist of 7 items).
    Patients and methods: We retrospectively evaluated 417 adult patients who underwent surgery for acute appendicitis between January 2013 and December 2019 and compared our items with criteria A and criteria B according to the results of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), homogeneity, discriminatory ability, and Akaike information criterion (AIC).
    Results: The AUC for the sensitivity to diagnose complicated appendicitis according to according to our criteria, as well as criteria A, and criteria B was 0.823, 0.839, and 0.856, respectively. The discriminatory ability linear trend χ
    Conclusion: Although the criteria B were the best, it was possible to predict complicated appendicitis preoperatively by all criteria. Above all, our criteria have only three items, therefore they have the advantage of making it possible to make decisions quickly with a certain degree of accuracy, regardless of the degree of experience.
