SIMULTANEOUS VEIN LIGATION

Simultaneous bile duct and portal vein ligation induces faster atrophy/hypertrophy complex than portal vein ligation: role of bile acids

Portal vein ligation (PVL) induces atrophy/hypertrophy complex (AHC). We hypothesised that simultaneous bile duct and portal vein ligation (BPL) might induce proper bile acid (BA) retention to enhance AHC by activating BA-mediated FXR signalling in the intact liver and promoting apoptosis in the ligated liver. We established rat models of 90% BPL and 90% PVL and found that BPL was well-tolerate...

Longterm Results of Penile Vein Ligation for Impotence of Venous Leakage

Abstract The indication for venous surgery in the treatment of erectile dysfunction have been reduced as evidence of unsatisfactory long - term results has emerged. The short and long - term results of venous surgery were assesesd in patients with veno - occlusive dysfunction who were selected in the basis of thorough diagnostic criteria. All of patients in this study were unresponsive to maxi...

Effect of partial portal vein ligation on hepatic regeneration.

To evaluate the effect of portal hypertension and diminished portal venous blood flow to the liver on hepatic regeneration, male rats were subjected to partial portal vein ligation and subsequently to a two-thirds partial hepatectomy. The levels of ornithine decarboxylase activity at 6 h after partial hepatectomy were greater (p less than 0.001) in the rats with prior partial portal vein ligati...

Laparoscopic Liver Partition and Portal Vein Ligation for Staged Hepatectomy

Introduction: Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) has recently been introduced as a feasible strategy that allows complete resection with curative intention in selected patients with otherwise locally unresectable disease due to an insufficient future liver remnant. Minimally invasive surgery has shown several benefits over the open approach in di...
