Acute liver failure (ALF) is a catastrophic condition that can occur after major resection. The aim of this study was to determine the effects spheroid reservoir bio‐artificial (SRBAL) on survival, serum chemistry, and regeneration in posthepatectomy ALF pigs. Wild‐type large white swine (20 kg‐30 kg) underwent intracranial pressure (ICP) probe placement followed by 85% hepatectomy. Computed tomography (CT) volumetrics were performed measure extent resection, at 48 hours following...
Active antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) that occurs during the amnestic response within first month posttransplant is a rare but devastating cause of early allograft loss after kidney transplant. Prior reports eculizumab treatment for AMR have been in heterogeneous patient groups needing salvage therapy or presenting at varied time points. We investigated role as primary active posttransplant.We performed retrospective observational study consecutive cohort solitary transplant recipients...
The adoption of laparoscopic surgery has significantly transformed surgical practice. However, mastering these techniques requires specialized training. In Saudi Arabia, the level proficiency in skills among General Surgery (GS) trainees is not well-documented. This study aims to assess GS residents' satisfaction with their training, self-appraise proficiency, and objectively evaluate using Fundamentals Laparoscopic (FLS) test. cross-sectional study, approved by Institutional Review Board...
Renal transplantation is the definitive treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It associated better quality of life and patient survival. Nevertheless, these benefits come rising concerns about weight gain metabolic abnormalities, which adversely impact transplant outcomes.The objective this study to estimate incidence in first year post-renal addition assessment potential risk factors resulting outcome graft.We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort all 295 who...
Introduction Organ transplantation is a critical intervention for patients with end-stage organ failure, but misconceptions and knowledge gaps often hinder donation. This study evaluates the acceptability effectiveness of an donation campaign focusing on addressing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods A two-day awareness was conducted shopping mall, featuring four stations providing information various aspects Participants completed self-administered, researcher-developed, questionnaire before...
The first organ transplantation performed in Saudi Arabia was a live-donor kidney transplant 1979. Shortly thereafter, the religious authorities approved concept of brain death and supported broader acceptance donation. Subsequently, tissue solid programs have been initiated throughout Kingdom (KSA), offering kidney, liver, pancreas, lung, heart transplantation.1-3 Nevertheless, deceased-organ donation rates remain low KSA. Several survey-based cross-sectional studies geared toward...
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in the first 6 months after renal transplantation, and there only limited data about UTIs transplantation Saudi Arabia general.A retrospective study from January 2017 to May 2020 with 6-month follow-up.279 transplant recipients were included. Mean age was 43.4 ± 16.0 years, and114 (40.9%) women. stents inserted routinely during removed 35.3 28 days postoperatively. Ninety-seven patients (35%) developed urinary six transplantation. Of those who...
Purpose. To evaluate the impact of early (<3 weeks) versus late (>3 urinary stent removal on tract infections (UTIs) post renal transplantation. Methods. A retrospective study was performed including all adult transplants who were transplanted between January 2017 and May 2020 with a minimum 6-month follow-up at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Results. total 279 kidney recipients included in stratified into 114 group (ESR) 165 (LSR). Mean age 43.4 ± 15.8; women: n:...
Controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) are noninvasive surrogates for hepatic steatosis fibrosis, respectively, could help identify extended criteria donors in transplantation (LT). We aimed to determine the accuracy of CAP/LSM deceased along with post-LT changes.Accuracy preprocurement grade/stage steatosis/fibrosis was determined using biopsy as reference. Transplant outcomes, including primary nonfunction (PNF) early allograft dysfunction, were...
Abstract The best type of biliary anastomosis to use in lower weight pediatric liver transplant recipients is debatable. In this study, we share a single center's experience comparing the rate anastomotic complications based on performed population patients. A retrospective review transplants for weighing <15 kg from 11/2003 till 12/2011 was performed. Patients were grouped into two groups: duct‐to‐duct (d‐d) and Roux‐en‐Y hepaticojejunostomy (h‐j) anastomoses. total 24 patients (12...
Abstract Background and aims Cell‐based therapies for liver disease such as bioartificial rely on a large quantity high quality of hepatocytes. Cold storage was previously shown to be better way preserve the viability functionality hepatocytes during transportation rather than freezing, but this only proved at lower density rat spheroids. The purpose study optimize conditions cold primary porcine hepatocyte Methods Porcine were isolated by three‐step perfusion method; spheroids formed 24...
Parvovirus B19 (PB19) is a single-stranded DNA virus that belongs to the Erythrovirus genus within Parvoviridae family. Clinical presentations associated with PB19 infection vary greatly, depending on infected individual’s age and hematologic immunologic status. The limited data available regarding consensus screening algorithms indications in donors recipients prior kidney transplantation makes diagnosis management challenging. We presented 3 cases of pure red cell aplasia due parvovirus...
Gastrointestinal perforation related to foreign body ingestion is uncommon. Surgical interventions aiming at removal of the offending agent and restoration bowel continuity are sought when perforations occur. Presentation case A 68 year old male presented with epigastric abdominal pain anorexia for 2 days. On examination, he was febrile had localized tenderness. Laboratory investigations revealed marked leucocytosis no other abnormalities. Computed tomography presence a penetrating through...
Abstract Background The supply-demand mismatch between organ donor and patient waiting for transplant has led to the growth of tourism. This type is considered unethical illegal, as it usually performed in poor environments carries a higher risk infectious, vascular, immunological complications. Methods In this single-centered retrospective cohort study, we compared patients who underwent tourism were transplanted locally followed up our hospital from January 2015 December 2018. Result A...
A 53-year-old man underwent a living donor kidney transplantation in the right iliac fossa 25 years prior to presentation. He had been noting an inguinal bugle that became more prominent as day progressed, and it regressed at night. Upon further investigations, ultrasound of allograft revealed moderate-to-severe hydronephrosis. computed tomography scan herniation bladder part transplanted ureter within supravesical/direct space. Lichtenstein-like fashion repair was performed, patient...
Abstract This case report discusses the management of a 46-year-old male patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and high body mass index, who underwent semi-simultaneous procedure involving hand-assisted laparoscopic bilateral nephrectomy to alleviate severe abdominal symptoms prepare for transplantation, all using same incision. is first reported occurrence such in Saudi Arabia. Post-operatively, made successful recovery excellent function no complications.
