Introduction: There are still debates regarding using portal vein (PV) from liver with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) for vascular reconstruction. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and patency of PV venous graft from an explanted liver with HCC for the reconstruction of the hepatic veins tributaries or PV in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and to see if it has any risk on recurrence of HCC.
Patient And Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on 81 patients with HCC who underwent LDLT from April 2004 to July 2022.
The pathogenesis of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) differs according to whether prior treatment with interferon (IFN) vs. direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) was administered. Cyclo- oxygenase-2 (COX-2), yes-associated protein 1 (YAP), and transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) play a crucial role in hepatocarcinogenesis.

The study aimed to identify the impact of different clinicopathological factors on long-term survival following PD for PAAC.
Patients And Methods: This study is a retrospective cohort study for the patients who underwent PD for pathologically proven PAAC from January 2010 to January 2019.
Background: Total tumor volume (TTV) can provide a simplified parameter in describing the tumor burden by incorporating the size and number of tumor nodules into one continuous variable. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prognostic value of TTV in resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: Patients who underwent liver resection for HCC between 2012 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.
BACKGROUND The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) is a laboratory-based scoring system for assessing the severity of liver disease. Since 16 December 2006, MELD-based organ allocation for liver transplantation (LT) has been established in Germany to prioritize the sickest patients. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of using different laboratories on the calculated MELD score, despite the use of mandatory round-robin testing for comparable of inter-laboratory results.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the beneficial values of Transoesophageal Doppler TED in intraoperative fluid guidance versus standard clinical monitoring parameters in infants undergoing Kasai operation.
Methods: Forty infants scheduled for Kasai procedure were randomly allocated into two groups (Doppler and clinical group).
