ABO incompatibility is the most common cause of donor rejection during initial screening adult patients with end-stage liver disease for living transplantation (LDLT). A paired exchange program was initiated to cope this problem without ABO-incompatible LDLT. We present our results from first 6 years LDLT program. Between July 2003 and June 2009, 1351 procedures, including 16 exchanges 7 were performed at institution. Initial donor-recipient incompatibilities included B incompatibilities, 1...
Extremely elderly patients who present with complicated gallstone disease are less likely to undergo definitive treatment. The use of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in older is by comorbid conditions that concomitant advanced age and may increase postoperative complications the frequency conversion open surgery. We aimed evaluate results LC (older than 80 years).We retrospectively analyzed 302 underwent for acute cholecystitis between January 2011 December 2013. Total were divided into...
Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSC) can be an alternative surgical technique for difficult cholecystectomies. Surgeons performing LSC sometimes leave the posterior wall of gallbladder (GB) to shorten operation time and avoid liver injury. However, leaving inflamed GB is a major concern. In this study, we evaluated clinical outcomes standard laparoscopic (SLC), LSC, removing only anterior (LSCA).We retrospectively reviewed medical records cholecystectomies performed between January...
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the standard management for acute cholecystitis. Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) may be an alternative interim strategy before surgery in elderly patients with comorbidities. This study was designed to evaluate safety and efficacy of PTGBD (>60 years) cholecystitis.We reviewed consecutive diagnosed cholecystitis between January 2009 December 2013. Group I included who underwent PTGBD, group II did not undergo LC.All 116 (72.7 ± 7.1...
Diagnosis and staging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is critical because the variety treatment methods prognosis. [18F]fludeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([18F]FDG-PET/CT) has been suggested as a diagnostic modality in HCC. The purpose this study to evaluate accuracy FDG-PET for HCC after surgical resection histological confirmation.We retrospectively collected data 56 patients that underwent before March 2011-May 2017, all whom were suitable by conventional...
The incidence of clinically significant right hepatic vein (RHV) stenosis after adult living donor liver transplantation has been higher than expected. In this study, an assessment the risk factors for development RHV in context was undertaken. Hepatic anatomy, surgical techniques, and 1 year were evaluated retrospectively 225 recipients lobe grafts. These patients underwent independent reconstruction, which facilitated by application computed tomography morphometry computational simulation...
This study was intended to describe in detail the surgical technique and long-term outcome of autologous portal vein (PV) Y-graft interposition for adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). We assessed 841 patients who underwent right lobe LDLT from January 2002 December 2007 with respect reconstruction double-graft PVs. PV anatomy livers classified as type I 796 (94.6%), II 15 (1.8%), III 30 (3.6%). Seven grafts all had double orifices. Autologous used 31 patients, complications...
We describe an epidermoid cyst arising from accessory spleen of the pancreas. A 56‑year‑old female with iron deficiency anemia presented dizziness. During clinical workup, a 2x4 cm‑sized mass was incidentally detected in tail pancreas computed tomography (CT) scan. Under diagnosis pancreatic cystic malignant tumor, distal pancreatectomy carried out. Grossly, lesion composed solid and portion. Microscopic analysis revealed that portion intrapancreatic cyst. An is extremely rare hence...
Recent findings have suggested the clinical utility of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in patients treated with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF).To assess whether routine mycophenolic acid (MPA) TDM is beneficial and how to utilize it.A series short-term prospective studies on for MPA and/or tacrolimus was performed at a large-volume center.The 673 adult liver transplants were divided into four groups based immunosuppressive regimens as monotherapy (n = 369), tacrolimus-MMF therapy 270),...
Primary liver sarcomatoid carcinoma (SC) is a rare and aggressive tumor exhibiting rapid growth high recurrence rate following resection. To date, there have been no reports of primary SC occurring simultaneously with hepatocellular (HCC). This the case report 54-year-old man cirrhosis due to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection alcoholic hepatitis. The abdominal computed tomography magnetic resonance imaging revealed two distinct hepatic masses in background esophageal varices. Following...
Adult liver transplantation (LT) recipients occasionally show serious acute cardiopulmonary dysfunction, requiring intensive care. We have assessed the feasibility of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in adult LT facing pulmonary failure and refractory to conventional mechanical ventilation concurrent nitric oxide gas inhalation.From January 2008 June 2009, 9 required ECMO due pneumonia (n=5) respiratory distress syndrome (n=4). Mean age was 52.6 ± 5.9 years mean model for...
BACKGROUND Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is more common in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) than the general population. Diagnosing RCC ADPKD challenging due to presence of multiple renal cysts, often leading delays and difficulties distinguishing from cyst infection or hemorrhage. AIM To analyze prevalence characterize clinical features undergoing simultaneous bilateral native nephrectomy. METHODS Between May 2017 April 2024, 19 hemodialysis awaiting...
Cholecystectomy is the gold standard treatment for gallbladder disease. As life expectancy increases, awareness of cholecystitis in elderly changes. The safety and feasibility cholecystectomy octogenarians have been proven many studies. Surgical should be considered even nonagenarians. In this study, we aimed to assess outcomes nonagenarians with acute cholecystitis.A total 393 patients aged 80 89 years (352 octogenarians) 90 99 (41 nonagenarians) diagnosed underwent between March 2012 June...
Laparoscopic liver resection has become an increasingly popular operation but is still in relatively limited use. Here we evaluate the intermediate-term results of laparoscopic resection.Fifty-seven patients with HCC underwent at Asan Medical Center. Data for all resections were recorded and analyzed retrospectively. Patient gender, age, preoperative laboratory data, presence cirrhosis, blood loss, hospital stay length, pathology report, tumor site size, type, margin, morbidity mortality...
Purpose: The 7th edition UICC/AJCC TNM classification for gastric cancer has several changes from the previous edition. Especially, of number lymph node metastases (LNM) is reorganized. According to new system, N stage was categorized N0 (no LNM), N1 (1∼2 N2 (3∼6 N3 (7 or more LNM). aim our study compare prognostic significance (7th) with old (6th). Methods: From 2000 2005 a total 425 patients who underwent curative resections D2 and 15 nodes retrieved were studied retrospectively. Results:...
Ultrasonography is a simple and noninvasive examination that can be easily performed after renal transplantation because of the lack toxicity. The resistive index (RI) was measured using Doppler ultrasound at 7 days postoperatively in patients who underwent transplantation. study aimed to determine risk graft loss premature death within 1 year transplantation.This conducted from January 2011 October 2017 involved 97 Chosun University Hospital, Kwangju, Korea. Brain-dead donors were selected....
Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignant tumor affecting eyes in adults. Nearly half of all uveal tumors metastasize; yet, there are currently no effective treatments for metastatic melanoma. At time diagnosis, less than 4% patients with have detectable disease. disseminates hematogenously, site metastasis being liver (93%), followed by lung (24%) and bone (16%).A 57-year-old woman was diagnosed a dysplastic nevus on her eyelid, which histologically confirmed as after...
