introduction laparoscopic surgery is still uncommon for major liver resections. the intrahepatic glissonian approach is a fast and secure way to control the hepatic pedicle. case presentation a patient diagnosed with stenosing sigmoid adenocarcinoma (t3 n1 m+) (n+, positive lymph nodes, m+ positive metastatic desease)with synchronous liver metastases in segments 7 (8 mm), 6-7 (6 cm) and 3 (12 m...

abstract liver neoplasm is not an uncommon disease in asian countries. liposarcoma is a rare mesenchymal malignant tumor which usually originates in the retroperitoneum and extremities. from 1973 till now about 10 cases of primary liver liposarcoma have been reported. we present the eleventh case in a young adult female with uncommon presentation. she suffered from a huge mass in the right port...

The role of leukotriene (LT) on liver regeneration after hepatectomy is still unknown. LTB4 stagnates in the liver with obstructive jaundice, because LTB4 is excreted in the bile; therefore, LTB4 may have an effect on liver regeneration after hepatectomy with obstructive jaundice. Release of obstructive jaundice and simultaneous 70% hepatectomy was performed in rats to study the effect of 5-lip...

Abstract Background The surgical indications for liver hemangioma remain unclear. Methods Data from 152 patients with hepatic who underwent hepatectomy between 2004 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. We analyzed characteristics including tumor size, parameters, variables associated Kasabach–Merritt syndrome compared the outcomes of laparoscopic open hepatectomy. Here, we describe technique...

BACKGROUND Although the prognosis after hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastasis with hilar node remetastasis is poor, the role of node dissection for lymphatic remetastasis at repeat hepatectomy for hepatic recurrence is unknown. METHODS Fifty patients who underwent node dissection plus hepatectomy were retrospectively reviewed and divided into three groups: group I, 38 patients with a ne...

Conventional hepatectomy is an effective way to treat hepatocellular carcinoma. However, it is invasive and stressful. The use of laparoscopy in hepatectomy, while technically demanding, reduces surgical invasiveness and stressfulness but still achieves complete resection with adequate margins. Compared with conventional hepatectomy, laparoscopic hepatectomy provides a better chance and situati...

Introduction. Reducing the volume of resected liver parenchyma may lead to lower morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine whether partial preservation of segment IV leads to improved outcomes when undertaking extended right hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Materials and Methods. A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing right-sided hepatectomy for...

BACKGROUND A strategy for accelerating liver regeneration after hepatectomy would offer great benefits in preventing postoperative liver failure and improving surgical outcomes. Transforming growth factor (TGF) β is a potent inhibitor of hepatocyte proliferation. Recently, thrombospondin (TSP) 1 has been identified as a negative regulator of liver regeneration by activation of local TGF-β signa...

The treatment of patients with central liver tumors involving segments 4, 5 and 8 is a difficult clinical problem. These tumors often straddle Cantlie's line and involve parts of both lobes of the liver. The traditional management of such tumors is to perform either an extended right or an extended left hepatectomy. However, extended hepatectomies are associated with greater morbidity and morta...
