Morbidity and mortality of elderly patients with pancreaticobiliary disease according to age and comprehensive geriatric assessment: A prospective observational study
Mauricio Parrales-Mora, Manel Cremades, David Parés, Rebeca D García, Fernando Pardo, Alba Zárate, Jordi Navinés, Francisco Espin, Joan-Francesc Julian-Ibanez, Esteban Cugat
A prospective observational study has been undertaken, including 140 elderly patients (over 75 years) with benign pancreaticobiliary disease. Patients were divided according to age in the following groups: group 1: 75-79 years old; group 2: 80-84 years old; group 3: 85 years and older. They underwent a comprehensive geriatric assessment with different scales: Barthel Index, Pfeiffer Index, Charlson Index, and Fragility scale, at admission and had been follow-up 90 days after hospital discharge to analyze its influence on morbidity and mortality.
No significant differences were found between age, morbidity and mortality in elderly patients with pancreaticobiliary disease. Comprehensive geriatric scales showed some utility in their association with specific complications.

Challenge and future of liver and pancreatic robotic surgery. Analysis of 64 cases in a specialized unit
Esteban Cugat, Manel Cremades, Jordi Navinés, Carlota Matallana, Alba Zárate, Fernando Pardo, Mar Sendra, Francisco Espin
The results of patients undergoing robotic HBP surgery between April 2018 and October 2020 have been prospectively studied. The data analyzed correspond to demographic data, surgical techniques performed, associated morbidity and mortality.
Robotic HBP surgery is safe and feasible. It is suggested that its use facilitates parenchymal sparing surgery, access to posterior liver segments and anastomosis in pancreatic reconstruction compared to laparoscopic surgery.

Fluorescent cholangiography with direct injection of indocyanine green (ICG) into the gallbladder: a safety method to outline biliary anatomy.
Clara Gené, Fernando Pardo, Francisco Espin, Manel Cremades, Jordi Navinés, Alba Zarate y Esteban Cugat.
A case-controlled study comparing 20 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomies with Near Infrared Cholangiography (NIRC) with direct injection of ICG into the gallbladder to 20 consecutive standard cholecystectomies. NIRC with direct injection of ICG into the gallbladder is a feasible method that is not time-consuming; it does not require a different learning curve from standard laparoscopic cholecystectomies and has no major complications described so far.

Pancreas anastomosis after laparoscopic and robotic pancreatoduodenectomy.
Fernando Pardo, Esteban Cugat, Manel Cremades, Alba Zárate.
A pesar de que a día de hoy la duodenopancreatectomía cefálica laparoscópica y robótica no se realiza en la mayoría de unidades de cirugía hepatobiliopancreática, se trata de una técnica en proyección y que en los próximos años su implementación en determinados casos será incuestionable. La reconstrucción pancreática es una de las partes más demandantes de esta cirugía, y en concreto la anastomosis pancreática. El vídeo muestra la anastomosis pancreático-yeyunal y la anastomosis pancreático-gástrica tanto por laparoscopia como por cirugía robótica. La sistematización del procedimiento permite realizarla de manera segura.

Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent cholangiography in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Simplifying time and dose.
Fernando Pardo, Clara Gené, Jaime López-Sánchez, Alba Zárate, Francisco Espin, Manel Cremades, Jordi Navinés, Christian Herrero, Laura Vidal y Esteban Cugat.
This article aims to analyze and to simplify the optimal dose and time of intravenous indocyanine green (ICG) administration to achieve the identification of the cystic duct and the common bile duct (CBD). The CBD was better visualized in the at induction of anesthesia group (85.4%), in the hours before group (97.1%) (p = 0.002) and in the 1cc group (p = 0.011). When we analyzed the 1 cc group (n = 126) a greater visualization of the CBD was observed in the at induction of anesthesia group (86.7%) and in the hours before group (97.1%) (p = 0.027). Due to its simplicity and reproducibility, we suggest a dose of 2.5 mg administered 2-6 h before the procedure is the optimal. However, ICG administered 30 min prior to the surgery is enough for adequate visualization of biliary structures.
