Explant portal vein for reconstructing middle hepatic vein in right lobe living donor liver transplantation-outcome analysis.

Background: The aim of the study was to study the four week patency rates of the reconstructed neo middle hepatic vein specifically using the explant portal vein (PV) in right hemiliver live donor liver transplantation (LDLT). We hypothesized that short term patency of the neo-MHV should result in good graft and patient outcomes.

Methods: Pre, intra and post operative variables were prospectively collected for 88 consecutive patients undergoing right hemiliver LDLT from January 2014 to October 2015.

Deceased donor liver transplant: Experience from a public sector hospital in India.

Background: Deceased donor liver transplant (DDLT) is an uncommon procedure in India. We present our experience of DDLT from a public sector teaching hospital.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of all DDLT was performed from April 2012 till September 2016.

Ileostomy site approach for adhesiolysis and laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a hostile abdomen: A novel technique.

Introduction:: Gallstones are an etiological factor in 23%-54% of patients with acute pancreatitis. A small proportion of these patients will also have intestinal complications requiring necrosectomy with diverting loop ileostomy. Later, these patients require cholecystectomy and ileostomy reversal.
