Restarting LDLT During COVID-19: Early Results After Restructuring.

Introduction: Living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has been mostly suspended and deceased-donor living transplantation activity has been considerably reduced because of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We modified our protocols and procedures in line with COVID-19 guidelines. Since the restructuring, we have performed 20 LDLTs.

Long-Term Functional Outcome After Pancreatoduodenectomy for Periampullary Carcinoma With Morphological Correlation.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the long-term functional outcome (exocrine and endocrine) and morphological changes in remnant pancreas after pancreatoduodenectomy and its clinical impact.

Methods: Periampullary carcinoma patients with minimum follow-up of 2 years and without recurrence were included (N = 102). Exocrine insufficiency includes clinical steatorrhea and fecal elastase-1 (FE-1) levels; endocrine insufficiency, glucose levels and glycated hemoglobin; and morphological changes, main pancreatic duct (MPD) diameter and thickness of remnant pancreas.

The technique of laparoscopic hepatic bisegmentectomy with regional lymphadenectomy for gallbladder cancer.

Background: Laparoscopic hepatic bisegmentectomy (s4b and s5) with regional lymphadenectomy (LHBRL) for patients with gallbladder cancer (GBC) is rarely reported.

Aims: The aim of the study was to describe the technique of LHBRL in patients with GBC and to present our initial experience.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on twenty patients with GBC who were considered for LHBRL by the described technique.

Laparoscopic excision of the choledochal cyst in adult patients: An experience.

Background: Laparoscopic choledochal cyst excision (LCCE) in adult patients is not common.

Aims: The aim is to report our experience of LCCE in adult patients.

Patients And Methods: This study includes a retrospective review of twenty adult patients (age >18 years) with choledochal cyst (CC) who underwent LCCE by a single surgical team from February 2011 to April 2016.

Utilization of Gastric Conduit in the Management of Combined Corrosive Esophageal and Stomach Stricture.

Background: Corrosive stricture of esophagus may be associated with variable involvement of stomach. We analyzed the outcome of gastric conduit used in the management of corrosive esophageal stricture with concomitant antro-pyloric stricture.

Study Design: Among 101 esophageal replacements performed, 53 patients had combined esophagus and stomach strictures.
