Background/aims: Anatomic liver resection can be performed without vascular occlusion, but controlling blood loss during liver parenchyma dissection by compression or clamping of vessels in the liver hilus is almost the rule. The aim of this study is to assess the negative consequences of different types of occlusion techniques used during liver parenchyma dissection.
Methodology: From 2001 to 2003, 43 anatomical liver resections were performed in patients with primary and metastatic tumors. Patients were divided into three groups according to the duration and the type of occlusion of incoming blood vessels in the hepatoduodenal ligament (continuous over 20 min, continuous under 20 min, or interrupted blood-vessel occlusion for 5 min after every 20 min of occlusion). Blood level of bilirubin, ALT, AST and prothrombin time were evaluated in the postoperative period.
Results: Within the continuous occlusion group that lasted longer than 20 minutes (37 +/- 14 min) increase in levels of bilirubin and liver enzymes and decrease of prothrombin time were noted as compared to the group with occlusion shorter than 20 minutes and to the group with intermittent occlusion over 20 minutes (34 +/- 5 min).
Conclusions: From results issued, it can be seen that using intermittent occlusion during liver parenchyma dissection lasting longer than 20 minutes causes less ischemic-reperfusion injury in the remaining liver parenchyma than by using continual occlusion.

Primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL) is a lymphoproliferative disorder confined to the liver, with no evidence of lymphomatous involvement in other organs. Here, we report a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)-type PHL in a patient with a long history of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and Sjögren's syndrome (SS). A 78-year-old woman presented with epigastralgia and was found to have a solitary liver tumor by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT).

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes and role of lymphadenectomy in hypervascular intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) quantified using the arterial phase of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT).
Methods: Consecutive patients with mass-forming (MF) or predominantly MF type ICC who underwent surgical resection from 2000 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Using the image of the late arterial phase, CT-vascularity was calculated by dividing the CT value of the tumor (Hounsfield units) with that of the liver parenchyma.

Background: Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) can be challenging due to the difficulty of establishing a retrohepatic tunnel under laparoscopy. Dissecting the third hepatic hilum before parenchymal transection often leads to significant liver mobilization, tumor compression, and bleeding from the short hepatic veins (SHVs). This study introduces a novel technique utilizing the ventral avascular area of the inferior vena cava (IVC), allowing SHVs to be addressed after parenchymal transection, thereby reducing surgical complexity and improving outcomes in in situ LLR.

To establish the extent, distribution and frequency of in-vivo vessel wall [Ga]Ga-PentixaFor uptake and to determine its relationship with calcified atherosclerotic plaque burden (CAP) and cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF). 65 oncological patients undergoing [Ga]Ga-PentixaFor PET/CT were assessed. Radiotracer uptake (target-to-background ratio [TBR]) and CAP burden (including number of CAP sites, calcification circumference and thickness) in seven major vessel segments per patient were determined.

Purpose: To achieve a historical perspective, the chronological changes in primary liver cancer over a 20-year period were investigated at a single institution, focusing on shifts in etiology and the impact on imaging and pathological findings using The Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study of surgically resected primary liver cancer in 680 patients from 2001 to 2020 resulted in 434 patients with 482 nodules being analyzed. Dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography imaging and the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System 2018 classification were employed.
