Management of liver trauma by laparoscopy using infrahepatic inferior vena cava partial clamping: A case report.

Liver trauma with hemodynamic instability is extremely dangerous. Exploratory surgery after fluid resuscitation is a potentially effective method to save lives. Although there have been great advances in laparoscopic techniques for hepatectomy, laparoscopy is rarely used for liver trauma.

The safety and feasibility of laparoscopic right posterior sectionectomy vs. open approach: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Laparoscopic right posterior sectionectomy (LRPS) is one of the most technically challenging and potentially hazardous procedures in laparoscopic liver resection. Although some available literature works demonstrated the safety and feasibility of LRPS, these data are limited to reports from a single institution and a small sample size without support from evidence-based medicine. So, we performed a meta-analysis to assess further the safety and feasibility of LRPS by comparing it with open right posterior sectionectomy (ORPS).

Effect of infrahepatic inferior vena cava partial clamping on central venous pressure and intraoperative blood loss during laparoscopic hepatectomy.

Background: Infrahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) clamping is considered to be an effective method to reduce central venous pressure (CVP) and intraoperative bleeding in liver resection. However, its efficacy and safety during laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) remain unclear. We perform this retrospective study to evaluate its efficacy and safety during LH.

ShRNA-mediated BMI-1 gene silencing inhibits gastrointestinal stromal tumor cell telomerase activity and enhances apoptosis.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most frequently occurring mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Telomerase activity is well acknowledged as a critical factor in oncogenesis. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effect of BMI gene silencing on proliferation, apoptosis and telomerase activity in human GIST882 cells.

The reasonable drainage option after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration for the treatment of choledocholithiasis.

Objective: To obtain a reasonable drainage after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) for the treatment of choledocholithiasis.

Methods: Data of 350 consecutive patients who underwent LCBDE in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. All the patients were divided into three groups according to different drainage types after LCBDE, including T-tube group with 116 cases, primary closure (PC) group with 114 cases and stent insertion group with 120 cases.
