Auxiliary Partial Orthotopic Liver Transplant as a Rescue Procedure for Acute Liver Failure with Extra-Small-for-Size Grafts: A Report of 2 Cases.

Auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplant is a complex technique whereby a partial liver graft is transplanted in the orthotopic position, leaving behind a portion of the native liver. In acute liver failure, auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplant serves as a rescue therapy and bridge for the native liver to regenerate. Auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplant was initially considered a technically challenging procedure with inferior results versus orthotopic liver transplant.

An audit of Complicated Choledochal Cysts- 15-years' experience at a tertiary care center.

Purpose: Complicated choledochal cysts (CDC) have a variable presentation, and their management differs from an uncomplicated CDC. They are infrequently reported. We present our 15 years of experience in the management of complicated CDC.

A case series of choledochal cyst with pancreatic divisum: A rare association.

Choledochal cysts (CC) are congenital cystic dilations of the biliary tree usually associated with abnormal pancreaticobiliary ductal junction (APBDJ), but its association with pancreatic divisum has been rarely described. We encountered four cases of CC associated with pancreatic divisum (PD). Three had Type 3 PD and one had Type 1 PD.

Primary Hepatic Choriocarcinoma with Pregnancy: A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge.

Choriocarcinoma occurs mainly in the gonads, but an extragonadal origin has been reported, albeit infrequently. Primary hepatic choriocarcinoma (PHC) is a rare malignancy, with only 11 cases reported. Most cases reported were in males, with none reported in pregnant females.

Is central pancreatectomy an effective alternative to distal pancreatectomy for low-grade pancreatic neck and body tumors: A 20-year single-center propensity score-matched case-control study.

Backgrounds/aims: Central pancreatectomy (CP) is associated with a higher rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), and it is less preferred over distal pancreatectomy (DP). We compared the short- and long-term outcomes between CP and DP for low-grade pancreatic neck and body tumors.

Methods: This was a propensity score-matched case-control study of patients who underwent either CP or DP for low-grade pancreatic neck and body tumors from 2003 to 2020 in a tertiary care unit in southern India.
