Graft Inflow Modulation by Splenic Artery Ligation for Portal Hyper Perfusion does not Decrease Rates of Early Allograft Dysfunction in Adult Live Donor Liver Transplantation: A Randomized Control Trial.

Objective: The primary objective was to compare the rates of early allograft dysfunction (EAD) in patients undergoing elective adult live donor liver transplantation (ALDLT) with and without graft portal inflow modulation (GIM) for portal hyper-perfusion. The secondary objectives were to compare time to normalization of bilirubin and International Normalized Ratio (INR), day 14 ascitic output more than 1liter, small-for-size syndrome (SFSS), intensive care unit / high dependency unit and total hospital stay, and 90 day morbidity and mortality.

Background: GIM can prevent EAD in ALDLT patients with portal hyper-perfusion.

e-GLR Score Predicts Early Graft Loss in Adult Live-Donor Liver Transplantation.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze risk factors and develop a predictive model for early allograft loss due to early graft dysfunction (EGD) in adult live-donor liver transplantation (LDLT).

Methods: Data of patients who underwent LDLT from 2011 to 2019 were reviewed for EGD, associated factors, and outcomes. A homogeneous group of 387 patients was analyzed: random cohort A (n = 274) for primary analysis and random cohort B (n = 113) for validation.

Cystic artery pseudoaneurysm-a rare complication of acute cholecystitis: review of literature.

Objective: To acquaint with the presentation and management of the cystic artery aneurysm by enriching the reviewed literature with our own experience.

Background: Cystic artery pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon entity with varied clinical presentation. Inflammation and trauma are associated with most of the cases.

Large adrenal tumours mimicking hepatic malignancy: the role of concurrent adrenalectomy and anterior approach hepatectomy.

Background: Large right adrenal tumours may invade the liver and mimic primary hepatic malignancy, presenting diagnostic and management challenges. The 'anterior approach hepatectomy' (AAH) using hanging manoeuvre may be safe for resection of such tumours.

Methods: Prospectively maintained database was analysed to identify the large tumours of adreno-hepatic region subjected to hepatectomy.

Outcomes in Super Obese Patients Undergoing One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass or Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Introduction: The data on the role of OAGB in super obese patients and its direct comparison with LSG in super obese patients is scarce.

Objectives: To compare weight loss, impact on comorbidities and nutritional parameters between LSG and OAGB in super obese patients.

Methods: Prospectively collected data of 75 matched patients with BMI > 50, who underwent either laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), was analyzed retrospectively.

Evaluation of Epworth Sleepiness Scale to Predict Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Morbidly Obese Patients and Increasing Its Utility.

Introduction: Studies have shown that Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) is not a good tool to predict obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, data regarding the accuracy of ESS in the prediction of OSA among morbidly obese patients are scarce.

Methods: The study involved a retrospective review of the charts of the consecutive patients who underwent bariatric surgery at a tertiary care teaching hospital.
