Laparoscopic transthoracic liver resection.
INTRODUCTION Minimally invasive laparoscopic liver surgery is being performed with increased frequency. Lesions located on the anterior and lateral liver segments are easier to approach through laparoscopy. On the other hand, laparoscopic access to posterior and superior segments is less frequent and technically demanding. AIM Technical description for laparoscopic transthoracic access employ...
متن کاملAn iterative Bayesian approach for liver analysis: tumors validation study
We present a new method and validation study for the nearly automatic segmentation of liver tumors. The method is part of a nearly automatic system for simultaneous segmentation of liver contours, vessels, and tumors from abdominal CTA scans. It repeatedly applies multiresolution, multi-class smoothed Bayesian classification followed by morphological adjustment and active contours refinement. T...
متن کاملCryotherapy for liver tumors.
The curative management of primary and metastatic liver tumors has traditionally relied on surgical resection. Unfortunately, fewer than 10% of newly diagnosed patients have tumors that are considered to be surgically resectable. Limitations that often preclude a safe surgical resection include bilobar or centrally located tumors, insufficient hepatic reserve, cirrhosis, and/or associated comor...
متن کامل[Laparoscopic liver resection for benign liver tumors].
OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility, safety, and outcome of laparoscopic liver resection for benign liver tumors. METHODS Fourteen patients with benign liver tumors, including 11 cases of hepatic hemangioma, 1 case of hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia, 1 case of hepatic granulomatous inflammation, and 1 case of liver cyst with hyaline degeneration and calcification underwent laparoscopic live...
متن کاملLaparoscopic liver resection for posterosuperior tumors using caudal approach and postural changes: A new technical approach
Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) for tumors in the posterosuperior liver [segment (S) 7 and deep S6] is a challenging clinical procedure. This area is located in the bottom of the small subphrenic space (rib cage), with the large and heavy right liver on it when the patient is in the supine position. Thus, LLR of this area is technically demanding because of the handling of the right liver wh...
