Abernethy syndrome as a cause of liver transplantation.

Congenital portosystemic shunts are rare abnormalities in which blood flow from the liver is diverted to the systemic circulation. We would like to present the case of a 48-year-old male, during his neurological follow-up he was diagnosed with a congenital intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. Embolization of the portosystemic communicating veins was attempted on two occasions, but without success.

Multicenter clinical trial for the resection of rectal polyps using a new laparoendoscopic hybrid transanal access device.

Introduction: Complex polyps require the use of advanced endoscopic techniques or minimally invasive surgery for their approach. In rectal polyps it is of special relevance to reach a consensus on the best approach to avoid under- or overtreatment that increases unnecessary morbidity and mortality.

Methods: We describe a prospective, multicenter, pilot clinical trial with a first-in-human medical device.

Diaphragmatic Hernia Post Liver Transplant With Thrombosis of the Hepatic Artery Due to Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome: A Case Report.

Acquired diaphragmatic hernia (ADH) is a rare complication after liver surgery in adult and pediatric patients. In the literature, a few low case series have been reported. Its incidence is estimated to be between 0.

Robotic-like suturing with FlexDex Surgical System® for difficult laparoscopic suture.

The field of laparoscopic surgery has experienced an exponential growth in recent years. Despite great progress in this field, standard laparoscopic tools have not been optimally developed and still has some deficiencies when it comes to mobility and ergonomics. Robotic surgery has attempted to solve these problems by improving the articulation of surgical instruments.
