Successful use of venous graft from native liver with hepatocellular carcinoma during living donor liver transplantation with no impact on recurrence rate: A retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: There are still debates regarding using portal vein (PV) from liver with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) for vascular reconstruction. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and patency of PV venous graft from an explanted liver with HCC for the reconstruction of the hepatic veins tributaries or PV in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and to see if it has any risk on recurrence of HCC.

Patient And Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on 81 patients with HCC who underwent LDLT from April 2004 to July 2022.

Machine learning improves the accuracy of graft weight prediction in living donor liver transplantation.

Precise graft weight (GW) estimation is essential for planning living donor liver transplantation to select grafts of adequate size for the recipient. This study aimed to investigate whether a machine-learning model can improve the accuracy of GW estimation. Data from 872 consecutive living donors of a left lateral sector, left lobe, or right lobe to adults or children for living-related liver transplantation were collected from January 2011 to December 2019.

Prognostic factors for long-term survival after pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary adenocarcinoma. A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Periampullary adenocarcinoma (PAAC) had a poor prognosis, and pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) remains the only potentially curative treatment. The study aimed to identify the impact of different clinicopathological factors on long-term survival following PD for PAAC.

Patients And Methods: This study is a retrospective cohort study for the patients who underwent PD for pathologically proven PAAC from January 2010 to January 2019.

Predictors of Outcome of Living Donor Liver Transplantation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

The aim of this work is to study the different factors that affect the outcome of living donor liver transplantation for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Between April 2003 to November 2014, 62 patients with liver cirrhosis and HCC underwent living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) in the National Liver Institute, Menoufia University, Egypt. The preoperative, operative, and postoperative data were analyzed.
