Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in abdominal surgery have significantly transformed the field of medicine, offering new hope and improved outcomes for patients. Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgery, have revolutionized traditional surgical approaches. These innovative methods are now being applied to a broader range of procedures, including duodenopancreatectomies, abdominal wall repairs, and various aspects of abdominal surgery.

Beyond minimally invasive techniques, new surgical methods are making a profound impact. Cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), electrochemotherapy, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and others are allowing for the more effective targeting of cancer cells compared to systemic chemotherapy. These advanced techniques have proven particularly beneficial for patients with advanced abdominal cancers, significantly improving survival rates and quality of life.

Overall, these advancements in abdominal surgery not only enhance the efficacy and safety of surgical interventions but also expand the range of conditions that can be successfully treated, offering new hope to patients worldwide.

Backgorund: Textbook outcome (TO) is a composite measure that reflects the most desirable surgical results as a single indicator. The aim of this study was to assess the achievement of TO at a hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery unit in a Spanish tertiary hospital. Methods: We performed a retrospective observational study of all consecutive patients who underwent HPB surgery over a 4-year period. Morbidity according to the Clavien-Dindo classification at 30 days, hospital stay, risk of morbidity and mortality according to the POSSUM, and mortality and readmissions at 90 days were recorded. TO was considered when a patient presented no major complications (≥IIIA), no mortality, no readmission, and no prolonged length of stay (≤75th). Results: 283 patients were included. Morbidity >IIIA was reported in 21.6%, and 5.7% died; the median postoperative stay was 4 days. TO was achieved in 56.2% of patients. Comparing patients who presented TO with those who did not, significant differences were recorded for the type of procedure and the expected risk of morbidity and mortality calculated according to the POSSUM scale. There were significant differences between patients with major resections (TO rates: major hepatectomy (46.3%) and major pancreatectomy (52.5%)) and those with minor resections (TO rates minor hepatectomy (67.7%) and minor pancreatectomy (40.4%)). Conclusions: TO is a useful management tool for assessing postoperative results. Full article
