Laparoscopic versus open parenchymal preserving liver resections in the posterosuperior segments: a case-matched study.

Background: Patients with lesions in the posterosuperior (PS) segments of the liver have been considered poor candidates for laparoscopic liver resection (LLR). This study aims to compare short-term outcomes of LLR and open liver resections (OLR) in the PS segments.

Methods: This multicenter study consisted of all patients who underwent LLR in the PS segments and all patients who underwent OLR in the PS segments between October 2011 and July 2016.

Spontaneous hepatic rupture in a patient with peliosis hepatis: A report of one case.

Introduction: Liver rupture is a serious event that is most commonly due to blunt abdominal trauma. We present a case of peliosis hepatis in a patient admitted for acute pyelonephritis who developed hemoperitoneum due to spontaneous hepatic rupture from this rare liver condition.

Presentation Of Case: We report a 44 year-old woman who presented to our hospital with acute pyelonephrititis and hemoperitoneum due to spontaneous hepatic rupture from peliosis hepatis.

Liver angulometry: a simple method to estimate liver volume and ratios.

Objectives: Volumetry is standard method for evaluating the volumes of the right liver (RL), left liver (LL), left lateral segments (LLS), total liver (TL) and future liver remnant (FLR). The aim of this study was to report a simple technique based on measurements of liver angles (angulometry) that can be used to predict liver ratios.

Methods: Fifty computed tomography (CT) scans obtained in subjects with normal liver were studied.
