objective: to evaluate the effect of fibrin perihepatic packing on controlling liver hemorrhage and liver wound healing. methods: in this animal experimental study, 20 adult male sprague dawley rats, weighing 200-220 g, were included. stab wound injury was created by number 15 scalpel, so that bilateral liver capsules and liver tissue were cut, and acute bleeding was accrued. the animals were d...

context despite advancements in the science of surgery, minimizing bleeding from parenchymal tissue of the liver continues to be one of the challenges surgeons are facing to protect patients’ lives. however, the number of surgeries needing incisions in the liver tissue, e.g. metastatectomy, is constantly increasing. conclusions the excessive blood loss and the long time needed to control the bl...

introduction: hepatic hydatid cyst is caused by echinococcosis granulosis. it is a major health problem in endemic areas. the modern treatment of hydatid cysts of the liver varies from surgical intervention to percutaneous drainage or medical therapy. a high rate of complications following percutaneous drainage, and ineffectiveness of medical therapy have shown not to be the definitive treatmen...

however, history of liver transplantation has started in 1963, but after discovery of anti-rejection drugs such as cyclosporine in 1980s, this method has experienced. from 1984 more than 3000 patients underwent surgery and just 1680 patients in 66 liver transplantation centers have operated in 1988. every patient suffers from severe liver diseases and is in terminal stage of this disease, must ...

BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is common, with surgery as the main curative treatment. The prevalence of chronic liver disease has increased, but knowledge is limited on postoperative mortality in patients with liver disease who undergo CRC surgery. Hence, we examined 30-day mortality after CRC surgery in patients with liver disease compared to those without liver disease. METHODS We used...

background: liver ischemic insults are important sources of liver injuries leading to production of reactive oxygen species (ros) and mediating liver cell injury. glutathione mediated mechanisms are among the most important defense mechanisms of the liver; n-acetylcysteine (nac) provides cysteine for glutathione defense mechanisms. patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at increased risk of li...
