PURPOSE To test the hypothesis that liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy can be influenced by the ileum. METHODS Eighteen Wistar rats were distributed into groups of six animals: 1 - ileum resection+ hepatectomy 2/3; 2 - hepatectomy 2/3, and 3 - sham. Anesthesia with ketamine and xylazine i.p., aseptic technique, analgesia with meperidine (10mg/kg s.c.). On day 6, serum ALT, AST, alka...

Introduction: Based on the 2017 systematic review and meta-analysis meso-hepatectomy appears to be safe comparable in both peri-operative long term outcomes while comparing patients undergoing extended hepatectomy. Majority included hepatocellular carcinomas(>95%), cholangiocarcinomas but none have carcinoma(ca) gallbladder(gb). Right hepatectomy after biliary drainage portal vein embolisation ...

To explore the cellular fragility of pancreatic acinar cells in the early stage after partial hepatectomy, we evaluated the subcellular redistribution of lysosomal enzyme, lysosomal fragility in acinar cells, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) discharge from acinar cells and the pancreatic water content in rats 4 days after about 70% hepatectomy. Following hepatectomy, there was redistribution of lyso...

BACKGROUND Despite the increasing number of laparoscopic hepatectomy, there is little published experience. AIM To evaluate the results of a series of hepatectomy completely done with laparoscopic approach. METHODS This is a retrospective study of 61 laparoscopic liver resections. Were studied conversion to open technique; mean age; gender, mortality; complications; type of hepatectomy; sur...

Rats were subjected to laparotomy, or laparotomy and partial hepatectomy, at 0-48 h before administration of water or medium-chain-length triacylglycerol, having been starved post-operatively. Functional hepatectomies were performed at intervals after the intragastric load. Blood ketone-body concentrations after medium-chain triacylglycerol administration and/or functional hepatectomy of these ...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of repeat hepatectomy for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS Thirty-seven patients who underwent a curative repeat hepatectomy in our hospital were retrospectively studied. An extensive database literature search was performed to obtain for all relevant studies. RESULTS In our series, there were no perioperative de...

this report describes a 66-year-old male who had a long history of hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection. he was found hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) 5 months after lamivudine resistance mutation and then received a successful hepatectomy. three years later, hepatitis b envelope antigen seroconversion was achieved and nucleoside analogs were discontinued. after the withdrawn of antiviral treatment,...

BACKGROUND AND AIM The progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) likely involves a 'multiple hit' mechanism. We hypothesized that partial hepatectomy, a procedure performed frequently in patients with NAFLD, would accelerate the progression of disease. METHODS C57BL/6JolaHsd mice were fed a choline-deficient L-amino acid-defined diet (CD-AA) or a choline-sufficient L-amino acid...

To examine the role of the early changes occurring in the liver within the first hours after a partial hepatectomy and in an attempt to demonstrate the involvement of subsequent regulatory mechanisms, the size of the remnant liver was modified at various times and by different surgical techniques. Male Wistar rats were submitted to a two-thirds "temporary partial hepatectomy" produced by a 3-h ...

The robotic surgical system was developed to overcome the disadvantages of conventional laparoscopic surgery. The use of robots in liver surgery was not well evaluated. This article aimed at reviewing robotic partial hepatectomy to conventional laparoscopic or open partial hepatectomy in terms of perioperative, oncologic, and healthcare costs for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Studies were ide...
