ABSTRACT
Se describe el caso clínico de una paciente de 29 años de edad con gestación de 24 semanas y antecedentes de hipertensión arterial crónica, que acudió al Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital Ginecoobstétrico Docente Tamara Bunke Bider de Santiago de Cuba, por presentar cifras tensionales elevadas, cefalea, epigastralgia y vómitos. Se diagnosticó una preeclampsia sobreañadida y, por los signos de agravamiento, se decidió efectuar laparotomía. Se halló hemoperitoneo y una rotura en lóbulo derecho hepático, de modo que se realizó taponamiento hepático, que luego se retiró. La paciente requirió cuidados intensivos en el Hospital Provincial Docente Clinicoquirúrgico Saturnino Lora Torres y la evaluación de un equipo multidisciplinario debido a la aparición de complicaciones: síndrome de insuficiencia respiratoria aguda, absceso de pared abdominal, absceso hepático y presunta trombosis ileofemoral. La evolución fue favorable y egresó viva.
The case report of a 29 year-old patient is described with a pregnancy of 24 weeks and a history of chronic hypertension, so that she went to the emergency Department of Tamara Bunke Bider Teaching Gynecological and Obstetrical Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, due to her high values, migraine, epigastralgia and vomits. A overadded preeclampsia was diagnosed and, because of the worsening signs, it was decided to make a laparotomy. A hemoperitoneo and a rupture in hepatic right lobe were found, thus, a hepatic tamponing was carried out which was then retired. The patient required intensive cares in Saturnino Lora Torres Teaching Clinical-Surgical Provincial Hospital and the evaluation of a multidisciplinary team due to the emergence of complications: acute respiratory failure syndrome, abdominal wall abscess, hepatic abscess and presumed ileofemoral thrombosis. Her clinical course was favorable and she was discharged alive.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of microwave ablation assistant therapy in severe traumatic liver rup -ture.Methods The clinical data of 42 patients with severe traumatic liver rupture treated by microwave ablation in Fuling central hospital from October 2012 to June 2016 were retrospectively analyzed .The treatment effect ,operation time ,intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complications were observed .Results Among the 42 patients,simple microwave ablation hemostasis was performed in 11 cases,microwave ablation hemostasis and deep mattress suture in 13 cases and microwave ablation hemostasis debridement plus partial hepatectomy in 18 ca-ses.Forty cases were cured .During perioperative period ,3 cases of bile leakage occurred ,massive ascites was found in 2 cases,massive pleu-ral effusion was found in 4 cases,incision infection was found in 2 cases,transient mild hemoglobinuria occurred in 3 cases.After treatment, the patients recovered to normal without postoperative bleeding ,gastrointestinal leakage ,liver failure or other complications .During the follow-up of at least 2 months,massive pleural effusion occurred in 3 cases,liver abscess in 2 cases,no deaths more.Conclusion Microwave abla-tion assisted treatment of severe traumatic liver rupture is a relatively safe and effective method ,it can reduce operation time and intraoperative bleeding and be used in clinical practice .
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT)for traumatic spleen and liver rupture.Methods We made a retrospective analysis of 140 cases of liver and spleen injury with clinical manifestations confirmed by operation.MSCT examination results and clinical data were compared.Results Of the 140 cases,male patients outnumbered female ones,and the peak age was 10 - 30 years old.The injuries were most commonly attributed to traffic accident and falling.There were 69 (49%)cases of spleen injury,5 1 (36%) cases of liver injury,and 20 (14%)cases of both.Liver and spleen injuries showed on MSCT examination were liver and spleen laceration, hematoma within the liver and spleen as well as hematoma beneath the envelop. Conclusion MSCT has an important diagnostic value for traumatic liver and spleen rupture and thus can guide clinical treatment choice.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the feasibility and clinical effects of laparoscopic operation for liver rupture . Methods A retrospective analysis was made on 62 cases of traumatic rupture of liver in this hospital from June 2012 to April 2014.The techniques of hemostasis included coagulation , hemostasis gauze packing , rupture suture , hepatic artery ligation , and debridement hepatectomy. Results The laparoscopic operation was successfully completed in 56 cases, with a success rate of 90.3%(56/62). Conversion to open surgery was required in 6 cases due to massive hemorrhage and difficult location of lesions , including 2 cases of grade Ⅲliver rupture , 3 cases of grade Ⅳ, and 1 case of grade Ⅴ.Patients with liver rupture of grade Ⅰ and Ⅱwere all operated without conversions to laparotomy .One patient with grade Ⅲwas complicated with biliary leakage .In patients with grade Ⅳ, one was complicated by biliary leakage and another by obstructive jaundice .In patients with grade Ⅴ, one was complicated by systemic multiple organ dysfunction leading to death and another by biliary tract bleeding who was cured by active symptomatic treatment .The complication rate was 8.1%(5/62).The mortality rate was 1.6%(1/62).All the patients were followed up for three months .All the patients recovered well . Conclusion For grade Ⅰ,Ⅱ, andⅢliver rupture , laparoscopic surgery is safe and feasible .But for grade Ⅳand Ⅴpatients, laparoscopic surgery bears high rates of converting to open operation and postoperative complications , so we suggest open surgery as the first choice .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the value of emergency transcatheter arterial embolization in the treat-ment of liver and spleen rupture,in order to provide the reference for clinical therapeutic strategies.Methods In our hospital,58 patients with liver and spleen rupture were selected.Operation time,catheter angiography,embolization of success rate,postoperative survival rates and the postoperative complications were recorded.Then follow-up,patients with sequela of occurrence was recorded.Results Embolizations of 55 cases were successful,3 cases accounted for 94.8%,2 were successful, no embolization failed, the success rate of catheter angiography in the diagnosis was 100.0%.31 cases of arterial embolization for splenic artery,10 cases of hepatic artery,8 cases of right hepatic artery, 2 cases of left hepatic artery.The average operation time was (57.8 ±15.6) min.All the patients were successfully hemostatic,postoperative survival rate was 100.0%for patients.2 cases of postoperative biliary leakage,1 cases with splenic abscess,the incidence of postoperative complications was 5.2%.Recovery of all patients was good,without the occurrence of sequelae.Conclusion Rupture has good clinical efficacy of emergency transcatheter arterial emboliza-tion in treatment of liver and spleen,liver,spleen can be retained in the circumstances,the effective control of hemor-rhage,improve the clinical success rate.
ABSTRACT
We herein present a case of spontaneous rupture of intrahepatic bile duct in a patient with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, which were successfully treated by curative resection. A 60-year-old male patient with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma was decompressed with single percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. Two days after right portal vein embolization, the patient suffered from paralytic ileus with marked abdominal distension. Imaging study revealed that marked fluid collection around the liver and whole abdomen, suggesting intrahepatic bile duct rupture. With abdominal drainage and biliary decompression for 2 weeks, the biliary rupture was controlled. To enhance the safety of right hepatectomy, additional right hepatic vein embolization was performed. The patient underwent routine surgical procedures for right hepatectomy, caudate lobectomy and bile duct resection, and recovered uneventfully and discharged 18 days after surgery. This is the first report of a case of spontaneous rupture of intrahepatic bile duct in a patient with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Liver damage induced by ovarian stimulation has been demonstrated in some cases reported in the literature. However, there has never been a fruitful debate on this topic. The present manuscript tried to fill this gap. We reported a case of a 35-year-old nulliparous woman admitted to our obstetric emergency room for severe pre-eclampsia. She had been subjected to four cycles of controlled ovarian stimulation for intrauterine insemination. At 32 weeks of gestation, she developed severe pre-eclampsia, which led to HELLP syndrome complicated by fatal liver failure. The etiological link between ovarian stimulation and HELLP syndrome is intriguing. Further investigations are needed to understand whether repeated ovarian stimulation may represent a risk factor in pre-eclamptic patients.
