Treatment of the Leakage Site
Although abscess drainage may be sufficient treatment in cases where communication with the gastrointestinal tract is minimal, in most pa­tients, this creates an enterocutaneous fistula and the leakage of enteric fluid should be stopped as well. After gastric surgery, leakage of saliva and gastric juice can usually be prevented by naso­gastric or nasoesophageal drainage. Only in rare cases cervical esophageal diversion is needed.
Attempts to repair the leakage site during surgery are usually ineffective and may actually increase the risk of postoperative complications. Small leaks do not require repair, and large leaks are often caused by ischemia. In these patients, complete resection of the anastomosis and cre­ation of a new conduit should be postponed until later.
There is increasing expertise with endoscopic treatment of upper gastrointestinal (GI) leak­age. Endoscopic clips, fibrin glues, and stents are used frequently, and often successfully [13,
14]. There are, however, no comparative studies
of conservative or endoscopic management of esophagojejunal leakage, and there are no clear recommendations for either treatment [15]. Stent placement in a hemodynamically unstable patient may be difficult, although there seems to be no additional perforation risk [16]. Smaller leaks are usually covered easily, but these leaks probably heal with conservative measures as well. In case of a large leak, the stent may not cover all leak­age, although additional stent-in-stent procedures have been described. There seems to be no dif­ference between self-expanding wall stents and plastic stents, and the choice for these depends on local availability and expertise [15]. Stent dis­location is a rare but threatening event, and stents need to be removed after 4–6 weeks in order to prevent ischemia and necrosis.
In cases where leakage is confirmed by CT, we will always evaluate the endoscopic options. Small leaks (arbitrarily less than 2 cm) are usu­ally treated conservatively with nasogastric suc­tion, but for larger leaks without signs of ischemia stent placement is first choice. Fibrin glue and
endoscopic clips are only used in patients where conservative management was unsuccessful.
Duodenal Stump Leakage
Blowout of the duodenal stump after total gas­trectomy is a serious complication. Bile leakage into the peritoneum causes ascites because of a chemical peritonitis. If bacterial contamination is present, this will soon develop into an infectious peritonitis with severe sepsis. Furthermore, bile will activate pancreatic trypsin, which is even more irritating to the peritoneum. Apart from leukocytosis, elevated bilirubin with mildly el­evated alkaline phosphotase is a prominent labo­ratory finding. Ascites and the infiltration of the duodenal stump will be recognized on CT, and as soon as duodenal stump leakage is diagnosed, general treatment of peritonitis with broad spec­trum antibiotics and fluid replacement would be started. Because of the irritation of the perito­neum, percutaneous drainage alone is often not sufficient to treat the peritonitis. Furthermore, drainage of the leakage site alone will result in a long-lasting enterocutaneous fistula. Surgical irrigation and drainage should be considered in all patients that fail to improve after initial per­cutaneous drainage. During surgery, the aboral jejunojejunal anastomosis can be checked for stenosis, since that might be the reason for the blowout of the duodenal stump. Decompression of the duodenum can be achieved by a retrogade drain from the jejunum into the duodenal stump, fixed with Witzel’s sutures for easy removal after 4–6 weeks. Together with a drain at the failed stump, this will result in a much quicker healing process.
Summary
Treatment of an anastomotic leakage after gas­trectomy requires swift action with antibiotics and hemodynamic support. Detection of the leak­age site by multislice CT is reliable, and it guides immediate percutaneous drainage. Surgical drainage is only needed if radiological drainage

is declined due to interposition of other organs. Small leaks may be managed with nasogastric drainage. For larger leaks, temporary endoscopic
stent placement is a viable option. A treatment al­gorithm is shown in Fig. 16.1.

Five Key Points to Diagnose and Manage Leakage
If signs of abdominal infection are seen post-

biotics and hemodynamic support and order
CT scan with the possibility to drain any leak-
age or abscess.
Percutaneous drainage is preferable if techni-
cally feasible.
Duodenal stump leakage requires surgical
drainage, abdominal irrigation, and decom-
pression of the duodenum.
Small anastomotic leaks can be managed with
percutaneous drainage and nasoesophageal
decompression.
Large anastomotic leaks may require endo-
scopic stent placement.

Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery

Postoperative Hepatic Insuciency

Introduction
With advances in hepatobiliary surgery and peri­operative care, the number of patients undergo­ing major or extended hepatectomy is increasing. In patients for whom these procedures are being considered, the risk of postoperative hepatic in­sufficiency (PHI) should be carefully assessed. PHI is closely associated with a small future liver remnant (FLR) and the quality of the underly­ing liver. Consequences of PHI include nonob­structive jaundice, ascites, coagulopathy, and in­creased susceptibility to complications. Patients with PHI are at high risk of death from liver fail­ure and require prolonged hospitalization. There­fore, assessment of the risk of PHI and preven­tion of PHI are critical for safe performance of major or extended hepatic resection.

Definition of PHI
At present, there is no standardized definition of postoperative severe liver dysfunction. The International Study Group of Liver Surgery de­fined posthepatectomy liver failure as “a post­operative acquired deterioration in the ability of the liver to maintain its synthetic, excretory and detoxifying functions, which are characterized by an increased international normalized ratio and concomitant hyperbilirubinemia on or after postoperative day 5” (Table 17.1) [1]. However, these criteria are complex, partly subjective, and difficult to quantify.
In addition, PHI should sensitively predict
postoperative mortality from liver failure. There­fore, the definition of PHI should not include clinical outcomes or ongoing treatment. Among the various definitions of PHI reported in the previous studies, the so-called 50–50 criteria [2] (prothrombin time < 50 % and serum bilirubin
level > 50 μmol/L on postoperative day 5) and
our definition of PHI [3] (peak postoperative total bilirubin level > 7 mg/dL) are simple and promising objective criteria based on studies in­cluding large numbers of patients.
In a multiinstitutional study of 1059 patients
without cirrhosis, receiver operating character­istics curve analyses revealed that a peak total bilirubin level of greater than 7 mg/dL was the most sensitive predictor of death from liver fail­ure, with an area under the curve of 0.982 (95 % CI, 0.964–0.999) and a cutoff value of 7.0 mg/dL (sensitivity, 93.3 %; specificity, 94.3 %; accuracy,

Risk Factors for PHI
Reported risk factors for PHI or liver failure are summarized in Table 17.3.
Among the surgery-related factors, small FLR volume is the most important and modifiable fac­tor for patients undergoing extended resection. A strong correlation between small FLR volume and increased risk of PHI is widely recognized, and various FLR volume criteria have been used to select patients who are at high risk of PHI. The
poorer the quality of the underlying hepatic pa­renchyma, the larger the FLR required; therefore, the minimum FLR volume required should be determined according to the status of the under­lying liver.
At The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, we calculate the estimated total liver volume (TLV) using a formula that relies on the linear correlation between the TLV and body surface area (BSA): TLV (cm3) = − 794.41 + 1267.28 × BSA (m2) [4]. The standardized FLR (sFLR) is then calculated as the ratio of the FLR volume to the estimated TLV. In a large cohort study seeking optimal cutoff values for mini­mum sFLR required, it was estimated that for patients with normal underlying liver, sFLR of at least 20 % is needed to avoid PHI or death from liver failure [5], while for patients who received

extensive chemotherapy (≥ 3 months) before
surgery, sFLR should be at least 30 % [6]. For patients with liver cirrhosis, it was reported that sFLR should be 40 % or more [7]. Current clini­cal evidence regarding the sFLR required is sum­marized in Fig. 17.1.
Another risk factor for PHI is chemotherapy­associated liver damage. Currently, the most common indication for hepatectomy is colorec­tal liver metastases. Because of advances in
effective chemotherapy, the vast majority of pa­tients with colorectal liver metastases are treated with perioperative systemic therapy in combina­tion with surgery. Specific associations between chemotherapy regimens and types of liver injury have been reported. Sinusoidal injury has been associated with oxaliplatin [8, 9], and steatohepa­titis has been linked to irinotecan, particularly in patients with high body mass index [10]. In par­ticular, steatohepatitis after major hepatectomy

has been correlated with high mortality rates [10]. Chemotherapy-associated liver injuries cannot be accurately predicted, but two factors are known to correlate with increased likelihood of chemotherapy-associated complications: lon­ger duration of preoperative chemotherapy and shorter time interval between the cessation of chemotherapy and surgery. In patients who re­ceived chemotherapy for more than 3 months [6], the possibility of hepatic injury should be entertained, and in-depth histopathologic review of the nontumorous liver, volumetry, and laparos­copy should all be considered.
Prevention of PHI
Systematic Volumetry of the “Fully Functioning” Part of the Liver
Volumetry of the liver is essential to assess the risk of PHI. A previous anatomic study revealed that the left lateral bisegments account for only 16 % of the total liver volume (Fig. 17.2) [11]. Thus, routine volumetry using an adequate
2009; b [29] ©Springer Science and Business Media; c [32] ©Wolters Kluwer; d [7] ©John Wiley and Sons 1997)
method is recommended, especially in patients undergoing extended right hepatectomy. FLR volume should be defined as the absolute vol­ume of the “fully functioning” part of the liver, in other words, the part of the liver that will have adequate inflow and outflow after hepatectomy. When a hepatic vein draining a specific part of the liver is deprived, the corresponding part of the liver will be congested and will atrophy be­cause of loss of its normal function [12, 13]. A recent study using indocyanine fluorescent tech­nique revealed that portal uptake function in the venoocclusive part of the liver is approximately 40 % of that in the nonocclusive part of the liver [14]. However, precise estimation of the volume of the area to be congested is difficult without the use of three-dimensional liver simulation techniques (Fig. 17.3) [15, 16]. Therefore, on volumetry for patients undergoing extended right hepatectomy in which the middle hepatic vein will be deprived, segment IV should not be in­cluded in the FLR volume because most of seg­ment IV will be congested and lose its normal function after deprivation of the middle hepatic vein even when part of segment IV is preserved.
