Replaced unclassified right hepatic artery arising from the celiac trunk: A case report.

Anatomical variations in hepatic arteries are both common and diverse. According to the classic classification systems, a replaced right hepatic artery typically originates from the superior mesenteric artery, supplying blood to the right liver lobe in the absence of the right branch of the proper hepatic artery. This article reports 2 cases of a rare variation, a replaced right hepatic artery arising directly from the celiac trunk.

Resectional One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass/Mini Gastric Bypass as a Novel Option for Revision of Restrictive Procedures: Preliminary Results.

Background: Revisional surgery is becoming a common and challenging practice in bariatric centers. The aim of this study was to evaluate resectional one anastomosis gastric bypass/mini gastric bypass (R-OAGB/MGB) as a revisional procedure.

Methods: From January 2016 to February 2017, data on 21 consecutive patients undergoing R-OAGB/MGB for weight loss failure after primary restrictive procedures were prospectively collected and analysed.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for mildly obese patients (Body Mass Index of 30 <35 kg/m²): operative outcome and short-term results.

Background: Data concerning laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in mild obesity are under investigation.

Aim/objective: May 2010 to May 2012, 122 consecutive patients with preoperative body mass index (BMI) of 33 ± 2.5 kg/m² (range 30-34.

Multiple biliary hamartomas: magnetic resonance features with histopathologic correlation.

The purpose of this study was to report the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of multiple biliary hamartoma (MBH) and to correlate them with histopathology. MRI features of 11 patients with MBH proven by histology were retrospectively reviewed and correlated to histopathology. MBH presented as multiple, tiny, and uniformly distributed lesions in all cases.

Extracystic biliary carcinoma associated with anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction and cysts.

Anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction with cystic dilatation of the biliary tract is usually associated with carcinoma arising from the cyst wall. We report an extracystic location of biliary carcinoma in the presence of anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction and cysts in a patient with obstruction of the origin of the left hepatic duct who underwent hepatobiliary resection. Cholangiocarcinoma was found to have arisen in a noncystic left hepatic duct, in conjunction with cystic dilatation involving both the cystic and common bile ducts.

Biliary ischemia following embolization of a pseudoaneurysm after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Aim: To report an uncommon consequence of hepatic artery occlusion in the management of a bleeding pseudoaneurysm following pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Imaging: Analysis of a case involving a single patient in which a bleeding pseudoaneurysm of the gastroduodenal arterial stump following pancreaticoduodenectomy was treated by transcatheter arterial embolization.

Case Report: Effective hemostasis necessitated interruption of the hepatic arterial flow and was complicated by biliary ischemia and intrahepatic biloma.

Chondroblastoma of the lumbar spine. Report of two cases and review of the literature.

Chondroblastoma is a benign cartilaginous neoplasm that generally affects the appendicular skeleton. Twenty-six cases of spinal chondroblastoma have been reported in the past 50 years, only six of which were located in the lumbar region. The authors report two cases involving this exceptional location.
