Background: The Warshaw method as a technique for spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP) carries the risk of splenic infarction following splenic artery ligation. This study introduces a modified Warshaw method, which preserves the splenic artery while sacrificing the splenic vein, and compares its outcomes with the traditional Warshaw method.
Methods: According to the bleeding status during vessel dissection, either the Warshaw method (group W) or the modified Warshaw method (group MW) was used.
Article Synopsis
- LDLT (Living Donor Liver Transplantation) is crucial due to organ shortages, but poses significant risks to donors, especially those donating right lobe grafts.
- A study analyzed 258 LDLT patients, comparing 110 who took Livact granules (containing branched-chain amino acids) to 148 who did not, assessing factors related to donor safety and recovery.
- Results indicated that those in the Livact group had better recovery outcomes, such as lower prothrombin time and higher albumin levels, suggesting Livact can enhance donor safety during recovery after surgery.
Background: Despite advances in surgical techniques, biliary complications are still considered to be a technical "Achilles' heel" of liver transplantation (LT). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of loupe magnification in reducing biliary complications after LT.
Materials And Methods: From April 2017 to February 2022, LT was performed on 307 patients in our center.
