The long-term outcomes of oral antiviral therapy without hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) in prevention reinfection with after liver transplantation are not known. We aimed to determine the from a large population chronic (CHB) transplant recipients using alone.A total 362 consecutive CHB patients transplanted January 2003 May 2011 were included. None received HBIG. Viral serology, viral load, and biochemistry performed at regular intervals during follow-up.Of patients, 176 (49%), 142...
Background. Duct-to-duct biliary reconstruction is frequently used in right-lobe live-donor liver transplantation (RLDLT), and routine drainage has been recommended. The aim of the present study was to evaluate safety operative outcomes duct-to-duct after RLDLT without drainage. Methods. comprised 41 recipients who had reconstruction. During donor recipient operations, precautions were taken preserve blood supply bile duct. Biliary anastomosis performed with fine Prolene sutures stents or...
Importance Whether stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) as a bridge to liver transplant for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is effective and safe still unknown. Objective To investigate the feasibility of SBRT before deceased donor (DDLT) previously untreated unresectable HCC. Design, Setting, Participants In this phase 2 nonrandomized controlled trial conducted between June 1, 2015, October 18, 2019, 32 eligible patients within UCSF (University California, San Francisco) criteria underwent...
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a cost-effective procedure, but it also associated with substantial postoperative pain. The present study aimed to compare pain relief and functional recovery after TKA among groups that received intravenous corticosteroids, periarticular or combination of both.This randomized, double-blinded clinical trial in local institution Hong Kong recruited 178 patients who underwent primary unilateral TKA. Six these were excluded because changes surgical technique; 4,...
The outcomes of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related after liver transplantation (LT) without immune globulin (HBIG) is not well documented. This study aims to determine the chronic (CHB) patients using an HBIG-free regimen. All biopsies performed 3 months or more LT in consecutive CHB transplanted from 2003 2012 were reviewed. None received HBIG. Results all histologies reviewed cause graft dysfunction. Of 435 during this period, 263 144 patients. Thirty-six positive for surface antigen (HBsAg)...
Abstract: Internal hernia of small bowel is an uncommon but potentially fatal complication liver transplantation. We report on four patients in whom internal occurred after right‐lobe live donor transplantation (LDLT). Three had herniation with volvulus around the Roux‐en‐Y loop whereas other patient through mesenteric window transverse mesocolon hepaticojejunostomy for biliary reconstruction. Based clinical and radiologic findings, early diagnosis was made all cases. All survived following...
<h3>Background</h3> Live donor liver transplantation (LDLT) mandates conversance in anatomy and major hepatectomy. Hepatocellular carcinoma is most reliably treated by <h3>Hypothesis</h3> The outcomes of hepatectomy for hepatocellular are influenced the surgeon's LDLT experience. <h3>Design</h3> We collected prospective cohort study data on patient disease characteristics. <h3>Setting</h3> Tertiary referral center. <h3>Patients</h3> A retrospective was performed 250 patients who underwent...
Familial transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), caused by mutant deposition, is mainly characterized peripheral neuropathy, autonomic dysfunction, and cardiomyopathy. There are few reports among the Chinese population. We previously described TTR mutation (Val30Ala) in first Hong Kong family with ATTR. In this study, we report progress of describe another three unrelated kinships newly diagnosed The second proband presented genetic analysis gene showed alanine-to-serine substitution at amino acid...
Hepatoma Research is an open access journal and focuses on all topics related to hepatoma. The following articles are especially welcome: pathogenesis, clinical examination early diagnosis of hepatoma, complications their preventions treatments, etc.
Background Liver graft with macrovesicular steatosis >60% is considered unsuitable for deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) as previous study showed high risk primary nonfunction (PNF) and loss.We report our outcomes in using severely steatotic grafts due to the shortage of donors. Method We retrospectively analyzed patients' after DDLT from 1991 2013. Macrovesicular steatosis>60% at post perfusion biopsy was defined severe steatosis.Outcomes eg. postoperative complication/PNF...
Aim In the present study, we discuss surgical management, complications and clinical outcomes of patients with renal cell carcinoma ( RCC ) extending into inferior vena cava IVC ), who were treated resection at a teaching hospital from 1997 to 2011. Patients Methods Twelve diagnosed tumour thrombus underwent radical nephrectomy thrombectomy during study period. Results Of 12 (male : female: 1:1), mean age was 65 years (range: 48–82 years). All had good premorbid performance status no distant...
