    Abstract Background: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is a common procedure performed for choledocholithiasis and gallstone pancreatitis. Although a relatively low risk procedure, it is not without its complications. Cases of impacted Dormia baskets during stone retrieval have been reported, but these are usually retrieved surgically during the same setting.
    Case summary: A 40-year-old man presented to our hospital with an episode of epigastric pain and discomfort. He has a prior background of recurrent episodes of pancreatitis of which he underwent prior endoscopic therapy in his home country. Initial investigations revealed a metallic object seen on abdominal x-ray, computer tomographic scan of the abdomen and pelvis, and magnetic resonance imaging of the pancreas. Further evaluation was done with endoscopy, which revealed a retained stone extraction basket from a previous endoscopic retrograde pancreatography, resulting in recurrent episodes of acute chronic pancreatitis. Although the retained foreign body was removed, he subsequently developed further complications of portal vein thrombosis as a result of recurrent acute chronic pancreatitis, which required anticoagulation.
    Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of retrieving any foreign body from the pancreas, especially on the head, to prevent the development of further complications.

    Abstract Pheochromocytomas (PCC) are rare and functional neuroendocrine tumors developing from adrenal chromaffin cells. Predicting malignant behavior especially in the absence of metastasis can be quite challenging even in the era of improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in PCCs. Currently, two histopathological grading systems Pheochromocytoma of the Adrenal Gland Scaled Score (PASS) and Grading of Adrenal Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma (GAPP) score are used in clinical practice, but these are subject to significant interobserver variability. Some of the most useful clinical factors associated with malignancy are large size ([4-5 cm), and genetic features such as presence of SDHB germline mutations. Local invasion is uncommon in PCC and metastasis seen in 10 to 17% but higher in germline mutations and when this occurs management can be challenging. Here, we report on a case with challenges faced by the pathologist and clinicians alike in diagnosis and management of PCC recurrence.

    Abstract Laparoscopic donor right hepatectomy (LDRH) is a technically challenging procedure. There is increasing evidence demonstrating the safety of LDRH in high-volume expert centers. We report our center's experience in implementing an LDRH program in a small- to medium-sized transplantation program.
    Methods: Our center systematically introduced a laparoscopic hepatectomy program in 2006. We started with minor wedge resections followed by major hepatectomies with increasing complexities. In 2017, we performed our first laparoscopic living donor left lateral sectionectomy. Since 2018, we have performed 8 cases of right lobe living donor hepatectomy (laparoscopy-assisted: 4 and pure laparoscopic: 4).
    Results: The median operative time was 418 (298-540) min, whereas the median blood loss was 300 (150-900) mL. Two patients (25%) had surgical drain placed intraoperatively. The median length of stay was 5 (3-8) d, and the median time to return to work was 55 (24-90) d. None of the donors sustained any long-term morbidity or mortality.
    Conclusions: Small- to medium-sized transplant programs face unique challenges in adopting LDRH. Progressive introduction of complex laparoscopic surgery, a mature living donor liver transplantation program, appropriate patient selection, and the invitation of an expert to proctor the LDRH are necessary to ensure success.

    Abstract Background: The volume-outcome relation for complex surgical procedures such as living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) generally favors high volume (HV) centers. It is important for low to medium volume (MV) centers to evaluate their centers' performance against HV centers to allow early detection and correction of potential systemic issues. There is a dearth of national and international comprehensive registries for LDLT that may allow reasonable risk-adjusted comparisons for benchmarking. This study aims to evaluate the LDLT program by comparing our center's performance against HV centers of the Adult-to-Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation cohort.
    Study design: Patient outcomes from a MV transplant center were compared with 11 HV transplant centers from the Adult-to-Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation cohort. Outcomes evaluated included length of hospital stay, same admission mortality, 90-day mortality, and overall survival.
    Results: A total of 1381 patients were analzyed. HV 1 to 4, 6, 8, 9, and 11 centers had a shorter median length of hospital stay compared with the MV center (All Dunnett corrected P values all less than .05). HV 9 and 11 centers had lower same admission mortality compared with the MV center (Dunnett corrected P = .023 and .015). After adjusting for other significant predictors, the MV center had comparable 90-day mortality rates and overall survival rates to all HV centers.
    Conclusion: This benchmarking exercise has demonstrated that the limitation of low institutional case volume can be overcome with a protocol-based framework to implement a safe LDLT program. This framework presented can be adopted for developing programs.

    Abstract Background: Given the complexity of living donor hepatectomy, it is expected that high hospital volume will better outcomes. This study aims to evaluate post-operative outcomes for living donor hepatectomy in a medium volume liver transplant centre and compare to outcomes in high volume centres. Also, it serves as a validation tool for framework of structure-process-outcome model for safe living donor hepatectomy program.
    Methods: 204 donors who underwent donor hepatectomy between June 1996 to September 2019 were reviewed retrospectively and compared to outcomes in high volume centres.
    Results: At 6 months, overall donor morbidity rate was 20/204 (9.8%). Wound complications were most common at 5/204 (2.5%). Majority of complications were either Clavien grade 1 or 2 and only 3 donors had Clavien grade 3 complications. There was zero donor mortality.
    Discussion: Our centre's donor morbidity rate of 9.8% is the one of the lowest reported in the published literature. With increased experience, stringent donor selection and enhanced perioperative care by a multi-disciplinary team, outcomes in a medium volume centre can match the outcomes reported in high volume centres. The framework for quality in terms of structure, process and outcomes is presented which can be adopted for developing programs.

    Abstract Background: Evidence for use of graft from older donors in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has been conflicting. This study aims to clarify the impact of donor age on recipient morbidity and mortality after adult LDLT.
    Methods: A total of 90 live liver donors and recipients who underwent primary adult-to-adult LDLT were divided into three groups according to donor age: donors in 20s (D-20s) group, donors in 30s and 40s (D-30s and 40s) group and donors in 50s & 60s (D-50s and 60s) group. Multivariate analyses were conducted to look for independent risk/prognostic factors. Donor age was analysed as a continuous variable to determine an optimal cut off.
    Results: Overall donor morbidity was 4/90 (4.44%), major donor morbidity was 1/90 (1.11%) and there was no donor mortality. Recipients in the D-20s group had better 1-, 3- and 5-year recipient survival than recipients in the D-50s and 60s group (96%, 91%, 91% versus 73%, 58%, 58%, respectively) (P = 0.020). Donor age was identified to be an independently significant risk factor for increased major complications (P = 0.007) and prognostic factor for reduced overall survival (P = 0.014). The optimal donor age cut off was determined to be 46.5 years old.
    Conclusion: Older donors are associated with poorer recipient outcomes after adult-to-adult LDLT. Usage of liver grafts from older donors should be carefully considered when choosing liver grafts for patients undergoing LDLT.

    Abstract Introduction: Prehabilitation may benefit older patients undergoing major surgeries. Currently, its efficacy has not been conclusively proven. This is a retrospective review of a multimodal prehabilitation programme.
    Methods: Patients aged 65 years and above undergoing major abdominal surgery between May 2015 and December 2019 in the National University Hospital were included in our institutional programme that incorporated aspects of multimodal prehabilitation and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery concepts as 1 holistic perioperative pathway to deal with issues specific to older patients. Physical therapy, nutritional advice and psychosocial support were provided as part of prehabilitation.
    Results: There were 335 patients in the prehabilitation cohort and 256 patients whose records were reviewed as control. No difference in postoperative length of stay (
    Conclusion: The current study found no differences in traditional surgical outcome measures with and without prehabilitation. An increase in patient mobility in the immediate postoperative period was noted with prehabilitation, as well as an association between prehabilitation and increased adherence to postoperative adjuvant therapy. Larger prospective studies will be needed to validate the findings of this retrospective review.
