Published: February 1997

During the ten-year period between 1982-1991 the authors operated in the Institute 12 casualties after perforation and avulsion of the gallbladder, 8 patients on account of injuries of the hepatocholedochus and 15 patients where after injury posttraumatic acute cholecystitis developed. The authors evaluate critically the asset of new diagnostic preoperative procedures for assessment of early indication of surgery. In the surgical tactics they prefer reconstruction procedures which prevent such serious postoperative complications as relapsing cholangitis or stricture with cholestatic affection of the liver [1,3].

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is traditionally associated with hepatic parenchymal diseases, such as acute liver failure and cirrhosis. Its prevalence in non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) patients, extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO), and non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis (NCPF) is less well described. HE in NCPH allows one to study the effect of portosystemic shunting and ammonia without significant hepatic parenchymal injury.

Bilio-biliary anastomosis (BBA) is a critical surgical procedure that is performed with the objective of restoring bile duct continuity. This procedure is often required in cases where there has been an injury to the extrahepatic bile ducts or during liver transplantation. Despite advances in surgical techniques, the healing of BBA remains a significant challenge, with complications such as stricture formation and leakage affecting patient outcomes.

Approximately 10% to 20% of the general population has elevated liver chemistry levels, including aspartate and alanine transaminases. Elevated transaminase levels may be associated with significant underlying liver disease and increased risk of liver-related and all-cause mortality. The most common causes of mildly elevated transaminase levels (two to five times the upper limit of normal) are metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and alcoholic liver disease.
