Cardiovascular collapse after laparoscopic liver biopsy.

چکیده
We describe a unique complication of laparoscopic liver biopsy. The increased intra-abdominal pressure associated with carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum produced haemodynamic stability by tamponading a trochar-induced retroperitoneal haemorrhage. After deflation of the abdomen, release of the tamponade resulted in acute cardiovascular collapse. Other complications associated with laparoscopic surgery are also discussed.

Emergency laparoscopy combined with radiofrequency ablation for hemostasis after percutaneous liver biopsy.
There are no data in the literature on the use of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in emergency laparoscopy as a means of hemostasis after liver biopsy. In this case report we have described a case of a patient with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia and hypervascularised hepatic tumor who developed severe hepatic bleeding after liver biopsy. Innovative, minimally invasive treatment consisted in a lapa...
متن کاملTechnical Note: Facilitating Laparoscopic Liver Biopsy by the Use of a Single-Handed Disposable Core Biopsy Needle
Despite the use of advanced radiological investigations, some liver lesions cannot be definitely diagnosed without a biopsy and histological examination. Laparoscopic Tru-Cut biopsy of the liver lesion is the preferred approach to achieve a good sample for histology. The mechanism of a Tru-Cut biopsy needle needs the use of both hands to load and fire the needle. This restricts the ability of t...
متن کاملTypes of Liver Biopsy
Liver biopsy (LB) is an important procedure in the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases. However, procedures for performing LB vary amongst institutions, and no universal guide‐ lines exist. LB is performed for two main reasons: diagnosis of a liver condition itself, and as an adjunct to an existing surgical procedure. Recently, it has become possible to employ both approaches with minimal...
متن کاملLaparoscopic liver biopsy in the diagnosis of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma: A case report
Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEH) is a rare vascular tumor of the liver, and its definitive diagnosis is completely dependent on histopathological verification. In the present study, we report the case of a patient whose percutaneous liver biopsy failed to reveal a diagnosis of HEH, twice, and who was ultimately diagnosed by laparoscopic liver biopsy. The patient was a 42-year-old ...
متن کاملInhibition of liver protein synthesis during laparoscopic surgery.
Previous studies have indicated that laparoscopic surgery is associated with a decline in liver protein synthesis. In this study, the fractional synthesis rate (FSR) of total liver protein and albumin was measured in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy at different times after commencing the procedure ( n = 8 + 8). Liver biopsy specimens were taken after 15 min of surgery ...
