What the experts said
The ileocecal region may not be important to preserve in short bowel syndrome and may actually be injurious to the liver.
Administration of a specific bile acid that is more lipophilic and hepatoprotective could be potential therapy for patients with cholestatic liver disease after massive intestinal resection.
In clinical practice, surgeons cannot choose which segment of intestine to remove—they must remove what is dead and would never intentionally remove viable tissue.
Once no-evidence-of-disease status was achieved, the 10-year overall survival among high-risk hepatoblastoma patients was similar to patients who were not high-risk.
There is no threshold for disease burden that precludes aggressive pursuit of no-evidence-of-disease status in children with hepatoblastoma.
The way to achieve esophageal atresia surveillance is to have a formal aerodigestive team.
Proximal small bowel resection results in greater oxidative stress in the liver compared to distal resection, as evidenced by elevated messenger RNA transcripts for tumor necrosis factor alpha, NADPH oxidase, and glutathione synthase.
46 of 50 hepatoblastoma patients underwent resection using adjuvant techniques including total hepatic vascular exclusion, vascular reconstruction, biliary reconstruction, or en-bloc resection and total hepatectomy with transplantation.
82% of hepatoblastoma patients (41 out of 50) achieved no-evidence-of-disease status through aggressive surgical management.
14 high-risk hepatoblastoma patients underwent a median of 2.5 pulmonary metastasectomies (7 for unilateral disease, 7 for bilateral disease) with a median of 4.5 nodules resected.
5 high-risk hepatoblastoma patients relapsed and 3 of them were saved.
The esophageal atresia surveillance survey had a 77% response rate from 181 physicians at 19 institutions.
Only 36% of institutions perform routine upper GI endoscopy in esophageal atresia patients regardless of symptoms, despite evidence showing these patients should be surveilled.
Without proper surveillance, esophageal atresia patients are at risk for esophageal cancer and chronic dysmotility as they survive into adulthood.
