Article Abstract

Liver resections, because of its complexity, present a big challenge for every surgeon. A malignant diseases, which are the most frequent indications for this type of operations, additionally complicate job of the surgeons. Because the flag immunological system, in this type of patients, with reduced reserves of the liver, can have unforeseen postoperative consequence. The bleeding during and after operations presents one of the most difficult problems with liver resections. Introduction of the Pringle maneuver, reduce the risks for this operations to the minimum. The aim of this work at first is to analyze and compare functional parameters of the liver with or without intermittent hepatic pedicle clamping (HPC), for the purpose of the establishing invasivity and justification of its application. A statistical pattern was 30 patients with performed liver resections using intermittent HPC and 30 patients without using intermittent HPC, during liver resections. Results showed that performing liver resections with Pringle manuever do not have negative repercussions on the liver functions with less postoperative complications and postoperative hospital duration.

Point-of-care ultrasound in the diagnosis of hepatic gas gangrene.

J Ultrasound

Hepatic gas gangrene (HGG) is a rare but life-threatening condition typically caused by anaerobic bacteria such as Clostridium perfringens, though Gram-negative bacteria like Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species have also been implicated. Traditionally diagnosed via computed tomography (CT), point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has emerged as a valuable tool in critical care settings for its non-invasive, bedside utility. We report the case of a 51-year-old female with choledochal syndrome secondary to cholangiocarcinoma who developed HGG following left extended hepatectomy and biliary reconstruction.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) associated with major vasculature tumor extension is considered an advanced stage of disease to which palliative radiotherapy or chemotherapy is proposed. Surgical resection associated with chemotherapy or chemoembolization could be an opportunity to improve overall survival and recurrence-free survival in selected cases in a high-volume hepatobiliary center. Moreover, it has been 25 years since Couinaud described the entity of a posterior liver located behind an axial plane crossing the portal bifurcation.

TSC2, a suppressor of mTOR, is inactivated in up to 20% of HBV-associated liver cancer. This subtype of liver cancer is associated with aggressive behavior and early recurrence after hepatectomy. Being the first targeted regimen for advanced liver cancer, sorafenib has limited efficacy in HBV-positive patients.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TACE combined with 125I seeds (TACE-125I) in the treatment of recurrent HCC at complex sites after hepatectomy.

Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of recurrent HCC patients located at complex sites (such as large blood vessels, diaphragm dome, etc.) after hepatectomy from January 2012 to December 2023, all of whom received TACE-125I or TACE therapy.
