background sivelestat is a neutrophil elastase inhibitor (nei) with positive impact on the respiratory complications in thoracic surgery. based on the findings of a recent study, nei may have a good response for avoiding ischemia reperfusion injury in liver resection. conclusions intravenous nei administration had positive impact on the postoperative inflammatory response and oxygenation while ...

Background. Postoperative failure is a major cause of adverse outcomes in extensive liver resection. Post-resection requires intensive, including extracorporeal, care. Issues correcting warrant novel approaches to prevent severe cases. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis 228 various-extent resections included minor (55.7 %), (26.8 %) extended (17.5 operations for malignant, benign p...

The inflammatory response has been shown to be a major contributor to acute kidney injury. Considering that laparoscopic surgery is beneficial in reducing the inflammatory response, we compared the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury between laparoscopic liver resection and open liver resection. Among 1173 patients who underwent liver resection surgery, 222 of 926 patients who underw...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy in the liver. In very early/early HCC, surgical treatment is the treatment with the best outcomes. Surgical treatment for HCC included liver resection and liver transplantation. Recently, surgical treatment is toward liver transplantation instead of liver resection because disease-free and overall survival rates are better in ...

conclusions atypical irregular tumors should be considered as sos when the patient has received oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. a qualitative imaging modality diagnosis, such as with diffusion-weighted mri, is superior to a morphological diagnosis in focal sos. this imaging modality can prevent unnecessary operations. case presentation a 40-year-old woman with rectal cancer underwent high anter...

UNLABELLED Ovarian cancer is one of the most aggressive gynecological malignancies and most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage of disease. In these cases, the best therapeutic approach in order to provide good control remains an aggressive surgical approach leading to complete R0 resection. The experience provided by performing liver resection for colorectal hepatic metastases in assoc...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to find risk factors for early recurrence (ER) and early death (ED) after liver resection for colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRCLM). METHODS Between May 1990 and December 2011, 279 patients underwent liver resection for CRCLM at Korea University Medical Center. They were assigned to group ER (recurrence within 6 months after liver resection) or group NER...
