AI Article Synopsis

  • Intermittent compression of the hepatoduodenal ligament during liver surgery can lead to ischemia-reperfusion injury, affecting both local and distant tissues and influencing surgical outcomes based on the duration of blood flow interruption.
  • An animal study on 12 Beagle dogs investigated the effects of the Baron/Pringle maneuver, revealing significant histological changes in the liver and small intestine after clamping for three 15-minute intervals with 30-minute reperfusion.
  • Liver function tests showed elevated GPT levels as the earliest marker, with increases in GOT and LDH also noted, indicating that the third 15-minute compression was excessive for optimal liver function.

Article Abstract

Intermittent compression of the structures of the hepatoduodenal ligament, is often performed during liver surgery. As a result, changes in hepatic blood supply and consequent reperfusion induced tissue damages will develop. Ischemia-reperfusion injury, which occur in local and distant regions, influence outcome of hepatic surgery, and it is in close correlation with the duration of hypoxia during the intervention. In animal model the effect of Baron/Pringle manoeuvre was investigated in terms of changes in liver function tests and histology. The study was carried out on 12 Beagle dogs, clamping of the hepatoduodenal ligament for 3×15 minutes then half an hour reperfusion was performed followed by blood and tissue sampling. Significant histological changes were observed both in the liver as well as the small intestine. In terms of liver function changes, GPT elevation occurred the earliest, GOT and LDH were also increased at the end of the 30 minutes reperfusion. In this animal model, the third 15 minutes compression turned out to be too long. Elevation in GPT levels was the most sensitive marker.

Background: Although T2 gallbladder cancer (GBC) incidentally diagnosed after cholecystectomy requires additional resection, the surgical approaches are technically difficult due to inflammatory adhesion or fibrosis around the hepatoduodenal ligament and gallbladder bed. In this study, we sought to compare the surgical and oncologic outcomes of open and minimally invasive reoperation for postoperatively diagnosed T2 GBC.

Study Design: Patients who underwent open (n = 110) and laparoscopic (n = 38) reoperation for T2 GBC between November 2004 and October 2022 at five tertiary referral centers were included in this multicenter retrospective cohort study.

Background: Gallbladder cancer is a rare disease with poor prognosis, for which surgical resection is considered the only curative treatment. The widespread adoption of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for benign biliary diseases has led to an increased incidence of postoperatively diagnosed gallbladder cancer. Several studies have proposed that tumors exceeding stage T2 require additional resection.

Fluorescent cholangiography (FC) with indocyanine green (ICG) is an alternative to intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) for visualizing the biliary tract during surgery. This pilot study assessed the feasibility of ICG-FC using inguinal nodal injection in patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal cancer surgery. Under sonographic guidance, ICG was injected into inguinal nodes bilaterally (each side 2.

Replaced unclassified right hepatic artery arising from the celiac trunk: A case report.

Anatomical variations in hepatic arteries are both common and diverse. According to the classic classification systems, a replaced right hepatic artery typically originates from the superior mesenteric artery, supplying blood to the right liver lobe in the absence of the right branch of the proper hepatic artery. This article reports 2 cases of a rare variation, a replaced right hepatic artery arising directly from the celiac trunk.

Article Synopsis
  • * The patient's imaging tests revealed extensive periportal calcifications and hyperintense masses in the bile duct and lymph nodes, suggesting tumor presence and possible metastasis.
  • * An endoscopic biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of mucinous carcinoma, which was associated with lymphatic vessel involvement and multiple lymph node metastases, with calcification thought to relate to the tumor's mucin production.
