Modified right lobe graft with bovine pericardium for middle hepatic vein reconstruction.
Hepatogastroenterology
September 2009
Article Synopsis
- Modified right lobe grafts using bovine pericardium for middle hepatic vein reconstruction are gaining traction in living donor liver transplantation due to a limited number of cadaveric donors in Korea.
- From April 2007, four successful cases demonstrated effective anastomosis of major veins to bovine pericardium post-donor hepatectomy, with all patients showing good recovery and liver function from 3 to 11 months post-surgery.
- Three patients exhibited adequate middle hepatic venous flow without congestion, suggesting that bovine pericardium could serve as a viable alternative for vein reconstruction when cadaveric organs are scarce.
Ante-situm liver resection in recurrent liver metastasis from colorectal cancer.
Hepatogastroenterology
August 2009
Surgical resection of liver metastases from colorectal cancer can offer long-term survival and cure in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer isolated to the liver. We present a case of a recurrent liver metastasis from rectal cancer, managed with ante-situm liver resection under total vascular exclusion and venovenous bypass with hypothermic perfusion. A 58-year-old man, who was diagnosed with liver metastasis from rectal cancer underwent a left lateral sectionectomy in January 2006.
