ABSTRACT
Objective To systematically evaluate the role of laparoscopic living donor hepatectomy in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).Methods A systematic literature search was conducted on Medline-Pubmed,Embase,Cochrane Library to find studies on laparoscopic living donor hepatectomy for LDLT.All extracted data were analyzed using the RevMan 5 software.Results Ten studies with a total of 1 059 participants were included in this analysis.Laparoscopic donor hepatecomy (LDH) was associated with significantly less intraoperative blood loss [SMD =-0.39,95％ CI (-0.73,-0.05),P ＜ 0.05],lower peak level of postoperative total bilirubin [SMD =-0.24,95％ CI (-0.47,-0.01),P ＜ 0.05]and longer operative time [SMD =0.50,95％ CI (0.04,0.96),P ＜0.05] when compared with those operated with open surgery.On subgroup analyses,hospitalization stay decreased in patients who underwent LDLT with grafts obtained by complete living donor hepatectomy (LDH) and left lateral sectionectomy (both P ＜ 0.05).LDH was comparable to open surgery in donor complication rates and in-hospital cost (P ＞ 0.05).There were no differences on the harvested liver graft size,ischemic time,recipient postoperative liver function and complications between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Laparoscopic hepatectomy in living donor is a safe procedure for graft-harvesting,which improved the clinical outcomes of the donor,liver graft and recipient in LDLT.It has also the advantages of reduced blood loss,low peak levels of postoperative total bilirubin and short hospitalization stay.
ABSTRACT
Objective Analyse the causes,diagnosis and treatment for delayed hemorrhage after distal radical gastrectomy.Methods Retrospective study on 45 patients combined with intro-abdominal hemorrhage after distal radical gastrectomy from January 2008 to June 2013.Results Thirteen patients combined with delayed hemorrhage in these 45 patients,all of 13 patients had intro-abdominal hemorrhage in 1week to 4 weeks after operation.And 5 of the 13 patiens were intermittent intro-abdominal hemorrhage 1 week after operation,these patients were demonstrated the blood come from gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm fracture by CT and DSA examine,and they were cured by interventional embolization.Other 8 patients were marginal ulcer hemorrhage diagnosed by gastroscope,and they stoped bleeding with the help of gastroscope.Conclusions The causes of delayed hemorrhage after distal radical gastrectomy were complicated,and CT,DSA and endoscope can use for diagnosis.What was more,interventional embolization and endoscope were helpful for curing the intro-abdominal hemorrhage,avoiding re-operation.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Subsequent to liver transplantation, pulmonary infection and new drug resistant strain frequently appear due to complex pathophysiological changes and abuse of antibiotics.OBJECTIVE: To collect the clinical data of 6 cases who underwent liver transplantation, and analyze the prevention and treatment measures of pulmonary infection after liver transplantation.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Retrospective case analysis, performed in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery,First People's Hospital of Guangzhou between January and December 2004.PARTICIPANTS: Six cases that underwent liver transplantation and received treatment in the First People's Hospital of Guangzhou were recruited in the present study. All 6 cases underwent selective homologous whole liver transplantation, 5cases underwent modified orthotopic piggyback liver transplantation, and only 1 underwent classical orthotopic liver transplantation.METHODS: The clinical data of the 6 cases were retrospectively analyzed. After transplantation, basic disinfection,isolation, infection-protection measures should be taken. In addition, etiological information was collected. Chest X-ray was underwent to know the lung at the early stage. Aseptic manipulating was strictly performed during sputum aspiration.Gastrointestinal decompression and non-obstructed drainage were maintained to prevent aspiration. Moreover, preventive anti-infective treatment against the bacteria, fungi, and viruses was performed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pulmonary infection and curative effects subsequent to liver transplantation.RESULTS: Of the 6 cases, 5 presented with pulmonary infection, including 1 at 4-11 days after transplantation and 1 at 1day after transplantation. One case died of respiratory failure. The remaining 5 cases were cured after standardized anti-infection, respiratory therapy, sputum aspiration, and nutritional support.CONCLUSION: Application of effective antibiotics, aseptic operation in sputum aspiration, and unobstructed respiratory tract drainage are important measures for treating pulmonary infection subsequent to liver transplantation.
