Challenges in Using the Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery for Revascularization of the Anterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery: A Microsurgical Anatomic Study.

Background: A bypass is usually required to prevent ischemia during the treatment of anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) aneurysms. The intracranial (IC)-to-IC bypass provides several advantages over the extracranial-to-IC bypass in the posterior fossa. However, there are only 2 case reports about AICA revascularization with the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA).

Complications and outcomes of 890 living liver donor hepatectomies at a single center: risks of saving loved one's life.

Objectives: Living liver donor surgery is a major surgical procedure applied to healthy people with mortality and morbidity risks and does not provide any direct therapeutic advantage to the donor. We retrospectively analyzed the postoperative complication of our living liver donors to figure out the risks of donation.

Material And Methods: Between November, 2006 and December, 2018, a total of 939 living liver donor hepatectomies were performed with no mortality to the living-related donors.
