Abstract Background Previous studies report promising outcomes with minimally invasive (MIS) hepatectomy in elderly patients but remain limited by small size. This study aims to comparatively evaluate the demographics and of geriatric undergoing MIS open hepatectomy. Method The 2016–2021 NSQIP database was evaluated comparing ≥75 versus Patient selection were compared using bivariate analysis multivariable modeling (MVR) evaluating factors associated serious complications mortality....
Metastasis in the pancreatic gland is infrequent, representing between 2-5% of tumors that affect this organ. However, secondary lesions clear cell renal carcinoma (CCRC) can occur mainly location and it frequently only site dissemination. Treatment choice resection surgically fit patients, as has been shown improves quality life prognosis substantially. We retrospectively reviewed clinical data patients with resections for metastatic CCRC since there are no reports treatment modality...
Introduction Acute calculous cholecystitis represents one of the most common complications cholelithiasis. While laparoscopic cholecystectomy is standard treatment in mild and moderate forms, need for antibiotic therapy after surgery remains undefined. The aim randomised controlled Cholecystectomy Antibiotic Randomised Trial (CHART) therefore to assess if there are benefits use postoperative antibiotics patients with or acute whom a performed. Methods analysis A single-centre, double-blind,...
The treatment of biliary stenosis after pediatric LDLT is challenging. We describe an innovative technique peripheral IHCJ for the patients with complex in whom percutaneous failed. During surgery, drainage removed and a flexible metal stylet introduced trough tract. Subsequently, most superficial aspect tree recognized by palpation stylet's round tip liver surface. parenchyma then transected until bile duct reached. A side-to-side anastomosis to previous Roux-en-Y limb performed over...
Background: The pancreas is an uncommon site for metastases, accounting 0.25% to 5% of pancreatic tumors, so that solitary metastases are rare. most frequent primary tumor capable metastasizing in the clear cell renal carcinoma (CCRC). Surgical resection remains best therapeutic alternative achieve long-term survival. Our aim present results a multi-center study Argentina due metastases. Methods: Multi-center, retrospective report adult patients operated from July 2010 December 2019, 7 high...
Abstract LT has become the treatment of choice for children with end‐stage liver disease. The scarcity donors and considerable mortality on waiting lists have propelled related living‐donor techniques, especially in small children. This population need smaller good quality grafts are usually candidates to receive a LLS from donor. Many times this still large do not fit receptor's abdomen, so further hyper‐reduction may be required. Despite all advances field, vascular complications occur...
BACKGROUNDIgG4-related disease can manifest diversely, including autoimmune pancreatitis and IgG4-related cholangiopathy.We are reporting a very unusual cause of pancreatic cancer triggered in previously unknown disease. CASE SUMMARYA 75-year-old man was diagnosed with 43 mm × 33 head tumor after consulting for abdominal pain jaundice.A pancreaticoduodenectomy carried out uneventfully, the histopathology report showed an early stage acinar-cell cancer.The patient reconsulted on 30 th...
Background Common bile duct injuries (CBDIs) remains a rare but serious complication in children undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), with an incidence of 0.44%. In severe lesions, major liver resection may be necessary as definitive treatment. The current principles for safe hepatectomy are mainly focused on the parenchyma that after resection. Therefore, one main factors related to posthepatectomy hepatic insufficiency is quantity and quality future remnant (FLR). To achieve...
Pancreatic cancer (PC) has not changed overall survival in recent years despite therapeutic efforts. Surgery with curative intent shown the best long-term oncological results. However, 80%-85% of patients these tumors are unresectable at time diagnosis. In those patients, first attempts minimally invasive or surgical procedures to alleviate symptoms. The addition radiotherapy (RT) standard chemotherapy, ergo chemoradiation, locally advanced pancreatic (LAPC) is still controversial. study...
Hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) is a rare benign liver tumor usually affecting young women with history of prolonged use hormonal contraception. Although the majority asymptomatic, low proportion may have significant complications such as bleeding or malignancy. Despite responding to stimulus, desire for pregnancy in patients small HCA not contraindicated. However, through this work we demonstrate that intensive therapies those used treatment infertility can trigger serious complications.A...
