Background: Stenosis of a biliodigestive anastomosis is a rare complication of midand long-term survival after hepatobiliary surgery. First line therapy is endoscopic intervention. Only if this option is not successful or not possible a surgical approach is indicated. Case Report: A 40 year old male patient presented with recurrent episodes of cholangitis after hepaticojejunostomy due to neuroe...

As the natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 Nramp1 (also known as Slc11a1) modulates Kupffer cell (KC) activation, and KC are responsible for the early phase of warm ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) to the liver, we hypothesized that livers of Nramp1(-/-) mice will be protected from early-phase I/R injury compared with livers of Nramp1(+/+) mice. To test our hypothesis, we induced parti...

We report a unique case of primary hepatocellular carcinoma in an ectopic liver rest in the left renal hilum masquerading as a left adrenal tumor. Adrenal tumors have been reported within adrenal rests inside the liver but hepatocellular carcinoma in ectopic liver rests in the adrenal area is an extremely rare entity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report from the Indian s...

Background: Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction is diagnosed at manometry and, after cholecystectomy, non-invasively at quantitative choledochoscintigraphy. Patients may benefit from endoscopic sphincterotomy. Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of choledochoscintigraphy compared with manometry in predicting outcome of sphincterotomy in post cholecystectomy patients with sphincte...

INTRODUCTION A renorrhaphy technique which is effective for hemostasis but does not place undue tension on the branch vessels of the renal sinus remains one of the challenging steps after hilar tumor resection during robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN). The published V-hilar suture (VHS) technique is one option for reconstruction after an RPN involving the hilum. The objective of this video is to...

A lipoma is a benign tumour of mature adipocytes which may appear in various species, including marine and freshwater fish. It usually occurs isolated locations, such as superficial or deep mass, mainly the skin seldom other organs. In non-mammalian vertebrates, there no agreed minimal size for mass to be considered lipoma. This study histologically describes case proposed microlipoma liver Bar...
