Research topics from publications: Clinical characteristics of pyogenic liver abscess with and without biliary surgery history: a retrospective single-center experience; Textbook outcomes after splenectomy in patients with portal hypertension. Representative work: BACKGROUND & AIMS: Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a common hepatobiliary infection that has been shown to have an increasing incidence, with biliary surgery being identified as a trigger. Our aim was to investigate the clinical characteristics and treatments of PLA patients with and without a history of biliary surgery (BS). METHODS: The study included a total of 353 patients with PLA who received treatment at our hospital between January 2014 and February 2023. These patients were categorized into two groups: the BS group (n = 91) and the non-BS group (n = 262). In the BS group, according to the anastomosis method, they were further divided into bilioenteric anastomoses group (BEA, n = 22) The Textbook Outcome (TO) is a composite outcome measure that integrates commonly utilized independent outcome measures to comprehensively reflect the optimal post-surgical treatment result. It is used to assess the quality of surgeries and has been widely employed in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeries. However, its utility in splenic surgery remains unknown. Patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension are often managed with splenectomy. The objective of this study was to investigate the perioperative textbook outcomes of splenectomy and identify the risk factors associated with achieving textbook outcomes after undergoing splenectomy. The clinical data of 263 patients with portal hy
