Two-stage total hepatectomy and liver transplantation for acute deterioration of chronic liver disease: A new bridge to transplantation

Recurrence of fatty liver disease following liver transplantation for NAFLD-related cirrhosis: Current status and challenges

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is emerging as a major health problem worldwide. NAFLD is a continuum of disease ranging from mild liver steatosis to severe steatohepatitis, which will ultimately lead to end-stage liver disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. This disorder is considered as a silent liver disease. The metabolic syndrome and its components are accounted as the ...

Pediatric Liver Transplantation for Chronic Liver Disease

The pediatric liver transplant evolved in the 1980s and became established in the 1990s. First successful pediatric liver transplant was performed in 1967 by Prof. Starlz. . There were rapid advances in adult transplantation throughout the 1970s. 1986, when most adult units claimed a 1 year survival rate of 80% average 1 year survival rates in children were only 60% (1). Since then, there have ...

Robotic Liver Resection as a Bridge to Liver Transplantation

BACKGROUND The surgical robotic system is superior to traditional laparoscopy in regards to 3-dimensional images and better instrumentation. Robotic surgery for hepatic resection has not yet been extensively reported. The aim of this article is to report the first known case of liver resection with the use of a robot in France. METHODS A 61-year-old male with hepatitis C liver cirrhosis and h...

Severe Acute Hyperkalemia during Pre-Anhepatic Stage in Cadaveric Orthotopic Liver Transplantation

A serious hazard to patients during orthotopic liver transplantation is hyperkalemia. Although the most frequent and hazardous hyperkalemia occurs immediately after reperfusion of the newly transplanted liver, morbid hyperkalemia could happen in the other phases during orthotopic liver transplantation. However, pre-anhepatic hyperkalemia during orthotopic liver transplantation is rare. This rep...
