Critical evaluation of long-term results of malignant hepatic tumors treated by means curative laparoscopic hepatectomy

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 30 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT Background: Laparoscopic hepatectomy has presented great importance for treating malignant hepatic lesions. Aim: To evaluate its impact in relation to overall survival or disease free of the patients operated due different hepatic malignant tumors. Methods: Thirty-four laparoscopic hepatectom...

Use of fibrinogen and thrombin sponge in pediatric split liver transplantation

Acta cir. bras; 32 (8), 2017
Abstract Purpose: To analyze the use of this sponge in pediatric patients undergoing split-liver transplantation. Methods: Retrospective study, including 35 pediatric patients undergoing split-liver transplantation, divided into two groups according to the use of the sponge: 18 patients in Group A (n...

Does mesenchymal stem cell improve the liver regeneration after the 70% hepatectomy?

Acta cir. bras; 32 (7), 2017
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the effects of mesenchymal stem cells on liver regeneration in rats following a 70% hepatectomy. Methods: Forty rats were subjected to 70% hepatectomy and then ~106 mesenchymal stem cells (test group), or saline solution (control group), were infused into their livers via ...

Transection of the hepatic parenchyma associated or not with the contralateral portal vein branch ligature and its effect in liver regeneration

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 15 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective To analyze the influence of portal vein ligation in hepatic regeneration by immunohistochemical criteria. Methods Ten pigs divided into two groups of five animals underwent hepatectomy in two stages, and the groups were differentiated by ligation or not of the left portal vein trib...

Open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted hepatectomy in resection of liver tumors: a non-systematic review

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 30 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Introduction: Several factors have made hepatectomy an increasingly safe surgery and new drugs allowed surgical treatment for patients who initially were not candidates for resection. Lesions often require resection, which can be performed by open, laparoscopic, or robotic assisted hepatectomy....

Functional and cellular evaluation of the liver after low-power laser stimulation during surgery

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 30 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Background: Partial hepatectomy is a surgical intervention of the liver that can trigger its regenerative process, where the residual lobes deflagrate a compensatory hyperplasia, causing its restoration almost to the original volume. Nevertheless, depending on the extent of liver damage its reg...

Lycopene and resveratrol pretreatment did not interfere with the liver of hepatectomized rats

Acta cir. bras; 32 (3), 2017
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the effects of lycopene and resveratrol pretreatment on hepatic hyperplasia in partially hepatectomized rats. Methods: The lycopene group and the resveratrol group received 40 mg/kg/day of lycopene or resveratrol, respectively (dissolved in olive oil or in saline soluti...

Right Hepatic Lobe Resection and Thrombocytopenia

Ann. hepatol; 16 (1), 2017
Abstract: Thrombocytopenia has previously been reported after right lobe resection for organ donation. The mechanism(s) of low platelets after right hepatectomy is unclear and several hypotheses have been proposed including a decrease in thrombopoietin, and hepatic insufficiency resulting in relative por...

Complications of Liver Resection in Geriatric Patients

Ann. hepatol; 16 (1), 2017
Abstract: Introduction and aims. Liver resection is the treatment of choice for many primary and secondary liver diseases. Most studies in the elderly have reported resection of primary and secondary liver tumors, especially hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal metastatic cancer. However, over the l...

Pediatric liver transplantation with ex-situ liver transection and the application of the human fibrinogen and thrombin sponge in the wound area

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 29 (4), 2016
ABSTRACT Background: Surgical strategy to increase the number of liver transplants in the pediatric population is the ex-situ liver transection (reduction or split). However, it is associated with complications such as hemorrhage and leaks. The human fibrinogen and thrombin sponge is useful for improvin...
