Concerning the previous anatomical knowledge and requirements of current hepato-pancreato-biliary practice it was our aim to enhance the anatomy knowledge of the caudate lobe biliary drainage. Using the injection-corrosion method we made 27 acrylic porto-biliary casts of proper quality from 30 post-mortem, adult human liver specimens. During the observation under a magnifying glass a portal vas...

Achene morphology of 49 taxa of the genus Centaurea L. was studied in terms of 19 different characteristics. On the basis of the variation in these features, some sections, such as sect. Cyanus with hairy hilum, were separated. Despite various differences, C. leuzeoides and C. gilanica were categorized in the section Psephelloideae, a section with lots of character variations within its species...

Leiomyomas are benign mesenchymal tumors that rarely occur in the kidney. Renal leiomyomas usually occur in the renal cortex or capsule. They are less commonly found in the muscularis propria of the renal pelvis and cortical vascular smooth muscle. In this case report, we present a 41-year-old woman who had right flank pain and detected a mass in the right kidney hilum.

Increasing attention is being paid by cardiothoracic surgeons to performing cardiothoracic surgical procedures through less invasive approaches, including the use of limited skin incisions. A limited incisional approach is described that achieves full access to the entire chest cavity and the hilum, allows the use of standard operative instruments and techniques, permits rapid, easy initiation ...

Background The knowledge of renal artery (RA) and its segmentation is critical before attempting any surgical procedure kidney. RA receives blood supply from various arteries during descent in the embryonic period. As a result, segmental RAs show lot variability site pattern origin as well point entry Aim/objective aim to study variable existing different arrangement structures at hilum. Method...

BACKGROUND Mannitol has been employed to ameliorate renal warm ischemia damage during partial nephrectomy, however, there is limited scientific evidence to support the use of mannitol during partial nephrectomy. The objective of the present study was to investigate the glomerular number after renal warm ischemia, with and without the use of mannitol in a Pig Model. METHODS Twenty-four male pi...
