Objectives: The aim of this retrospective study is to compare and evaluate accuracy of three different approaches of liver volume quantification in living donor transplantations.
Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective study of 60 donors. The total and right lobe liver volumes were analyzed in the portal-venous phase by two independent radiologists who estimated the volumes using manual, semi-automated and automated segmentation methods.
The main purpose of this study was to conduct retrospective clinical analysis of patients with malignant tumor of the periampullary zone who underwent Whipple procedure surgery depending on the pancreatic thickness and pancreatic duct diameter and to assess the development of pancreatic fistulas in the postoperative period. A retrospective review was performed to 108 patients with resectable periampular zone tumors. All patients were divided into two groups depending on the pancreatic thickness, 58 (53.

Methods: Overall, 90 patients undergoing open surgical treatment for liver hydatid cysts were divided into three surgical groups: first group, patients who underwent radical surgery (pericystectomy) followed by albendazole treatment for 2 months following the operation group; second group, patients who underwent radical surgery(pericystectomy) without receiving albendazole after surgery group; third group, patients, who underwent conservative surgery (partial cystectomy) with albendazole treatment after surgery. The clinical outcomes and rate of recurrence were analyzed in follow-up period.
The development of new technologies in medicine lead to creating an optimal treatment methods of cystic liver echinococcosis, based on minimally invasive technologies, such as percutaneous puncture-aspiration echinococcectomy (PAIR) under ultrasound (US) guidance. Aim of this study is to analyze and evaluate the efficiency of PAIR treatment. The study material included a retrospective analysis of 33 patients who underwent PAIR from December 2017 to December 2019.
