Point-of-care ultrasound in the diagnosis of hepatic gas gangrene.
J Ultrasound
January 2025
Argentinian Critical Care Ultrasonography Association (ASARUC), Buenos Aires, Argentina.
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.

SC Chirurgia Generale e Oncologica, Ospedale Mauriziano, Torino, Italia.
Background: Concerns have been expressed about the feasibility of laparoscopic right hepatectomy (Lap-RH) after portal vein occlusion (PVO), because of its technical difficulty. The aim of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of lap-RH after PVO.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from high-volume HPB centers was performed.
Unveiling the mystery of hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma: A unique case report with literature review.

Department of Hepatobiliary Pancreatic and Splenic Surgery Ward Ⅰ, The Affiliated ChuZhou Hospital of Anhui Medical University (The First People's Hospital of Chuzhou), ChuZhou, China.
Hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma is a rare mesenchymal liver tumor within the perivascular epithelioid cell tumor family, known for its uncertain malignancy and potential for aggressive behavior. Clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and imaging results lack specificity, making pathological examination critical for definitive diagnosis. This case report presents a 61-year-old male patient with a single tumor in the right liver lobe, measuring approximately 101 mm × 99 mm.

Xenotransplantation
January 2025
Department of Surgery, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
Advancements in xenotransplantation intersecting with modern machine perfusion technology offer promising solutions to patients with liver failure providing a valuable bridge to transplantation and extending graft viability beyond current limitations. Patients facing acute or acute chronic liver failure, post-hepatectomy liver failure, or fulminant hepatic failure often require urgent liver transplants which are severely limited by organ shortage, emphasizing the importance of effective bridging approaches. Machine perfusion is now increasingly used to test and use genetically engineered porcine livers in translational studies, addressing the limitations and costs of non-human primate models.

Department of Surgery, Fujita Health University Okazaki Medical Center, 1 Gotanda, Harisaki-cho, Okazaki 444-0827, Aichi, Japan.
In Japan, the hinotori™ surgical robot system (Medicaroid Corporation, Kobe, Japan) was approved for gastrointestinal surgeries in October 2022. This report details our initial experience performing liver resection using the hinotori™ system. Ten patients, who were assessed as cases that would benefit from the robot-assisted procedure, underwent liver resections using the hinotori™ system at Fujita Health University, Okazaki Medical Center, between August 2023 and October 2024.
