Surgical Outcomes of Spontaneously Ruptured Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Background: Surgical and oncological outcomes in ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are not well known. The objective of this study was to review and compare survival outcomes and recurrence rates between ruptured and unruptured HCC.

Methods: Data of patients with ruptured HCC who underwent curative surgical resection between January 2000 and December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed.

Changes in left portal vein diameter in live liver donors after right hemihepatectomy for living donor liver transplantation.

Background/aims: To evaluate changes in left portal vein(LPV) diameter and its effect on changes of remnant liver volume(RLV) and splenic volume(SV) in live liver donors after right hemihepatectomy.

Methodology: From November 2008 to May 2009, 92 live liver donors were included. On preoperative, postoperative 1-week and 1-month CT, we measured LPV diameters(LPVB, LPV1W, LPV1M), RLVs(RLVB, RLV1W, RLV1M) and SVs(SVB, SV1W, SV1M).

Choledochal cyst and anomalous pancreaticobiliary ductal union in adults: radiological spectrum and complications.

Choledochal cyst and anomalous pancreaticobiliary ductal union (APBDU) are considered to be embryologically related to each other, and their complications are clinically important. This article illustrates the key imaging features of choledochal cysts and APBDU and their various associated abnormalities and complications. Complications of common bile duct are more common in APBDU with choledochal cyst, and complications of gallbladder are more common in APBDU without choledochal cyst.
