Objective: To analyse outcomes after adult right ex-situ split graft liver transplantations (RSLT) and compare with available outcome benchmarks from whole liver transplantation (WLT).
Summary Background Data: Ex-situ SLT may be a valuable strategy to tackle the increasing graft shortage. Recently established outcome benchmarks in WLT offer a novel reference to perform a comprehensive analysis of results after ex-situ RSLT.
Background: Hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) improves outcomes of marginal liver grafts. However, to date, no preservation solution exists for both static cold storage (SCS) and HOPE.
Methods: After 30 min of asystolic warm ischemia, porcine livers underwent 6 h of SCS followed by 2 h of HOPE.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers wanted to find out how to tell if a redo liver transplant (redo-LT) is successful or not, especially since there aren't many organs available to transplant.
- They looked at data from 22 hospitals from 2010 to 2018, focusing on certain patients who had a better chance of having a good outcome after the surgery.
- They found that while most patients had a high survival rate after 1 year, those who had redo-LT for specific complications did not do as well, showing that some cases are riskier than others.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of ex situ hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) for preserving split liver grafts, comparing it to traditional static cold storage methods.
- Results show that all grafts in the HOPE-Split group were successfully transplanted without any graft loss or recipient deaths over a median follow-up of 7.5 months.
- The HOPE-Split method significantly reduced cold storage time and improved preservation outcomes while maintaining similar safety profiles compared to static methods.
Prophylactic surgery of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) includes total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) to proctocolectomy with ileoanal anastomosis (IAA). Surgical guidelines rely on studies without systematic endoscopic follow-up and treatment. Our aim was to report our experience based on a different approach: therapeutic follow-up, comparing in this setting IRA and IAA in terms of oncological safety and quality of life.
