Experience summary of combined liver and kidney procurement from pediatric organ donation / 器官移植

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of combined liver and kidney procurement from pediatric organ donation. Methods Clinical data of 6 pediatric donors undergoing combined liver and kidney procurement in the First People's Hospital of Foshan from October 2011 to December 2016 were collected and relevant clinical experience was summarized. Results According to the diagnostic criteria for brain death (for children) established by Brain Injury Evaluation Quality Control Center of National Health and Family Planning Commission, 6 pediatric donors received combined liver and kidney procurement for organ donation under the status of brain death. Modified liver-kidney perfusion was performed by external iliac arterial intubation using No.7 suction catheter, or arteria iliaca communis intubation using 24 F catheter for the perfusion of portal vein and abdominal aorta, thoracic aorta occlusion. The operation time was 55-60 min. A total of 6 liver grafts and 12 renal grafts were harvested, which were successfully applied in clinical liver and renal transplantation. No primary nonfunction was observed in the liver or renal grafts. Conclusions Timely assessment of brain death, rigorous and cautious measures for organ maintenance and modified techniques for combined liver and kidney procurement play a key role in the success of combined liver and kidney procurement from pediatric organ donation.

group was significantly longer than that in the low MELD score group (P <0.05).And there was no significant difference in the length of hospital stay,mortality during hospitalization,incidence of early complications, follow-up time and overall survival rate between two groups (all in P >0.05).The peak level of aspartate aminotransferase (AST)in the high MELD score group was significantly higher compared with that in the low MELD score group (P <0.05 ).The incidence of bile leakage,abdominal abscess and liver dysfunction significantly differed between two groups (all in P <0.05 ).Conclusions It is a safe and short-term efficacious approach to perform liver transplantation with organs obtained from Chinese donation after citizens’ death in patients with high MELD score liver recipients.

Application of fast perfusion through abdominal aorta and portal vein in combined liver and kidney procurement from organ donation / 器官移植

Objective To summarize the feasibility and safety of fast perfusion through abdominal aorta and portal vein in combined liver and kidney procurement from organ donation. Methods Clinical data of 43 donors of donation after cardiac death (DCD)undergoing combined liver and kidney procurement in the First People’s Hospital of Foshan from September 201 1 to June 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. Among the 43 donors,15 cases were China DCD donor category Ⅰ (donor after brain death) (C-Ⅰ),1 case was category Ⅱ (donor after cardiac death) (C-Ⅱ)and 27 cases were categoryⅢ(C-Ⅲ). Combined abdominal aorta and portal vein perfusion with fast cannulation were performed. Results The time from abdomen incision to abdominal aorta cannulation was 1.5-2.0 min. Forty-three livers and eighty-six kidneys were procured from 43 donors. The warm ischemia time (WIT)was 0 for C-Ⅰ donors,and was 3-21 min for the other donors (mean:10 min). Two liver grafts were discarded for major injury of the porta hepatis and severe fatty liver respectively. Eighteen kidney grafts were discarded for kidney stones, kidney atrophy, high level of preoperative serum creatinine,severe renal atherosclerosis,renal microvessel thrombosis,multiple renal cyst, kidney traumatic rupture,etc. The total discard rate of donor organs was 16%. Conclusions Fast perfusion through abdominal aorta and portal vein is a simple and safe method in combined procurement liver and kidney from organ donation.

Laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy: a report on 40 patients / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Objective To investigate the practicability and safety of laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy.Method 40 patients with space occupying lesions in the liver underwent laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy between Jan.2008 and Mar.2012.The diagnoses were hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (n=13),recurrent HCC (n =1 ),cholangiocarcinoma ( n =1 ),metastatic cancer ( n=6),hepatolithiasis (n=10),hemangioma (n=7),FNH (n=1) and liver cell adenoma (n =1).Intraoperative ultrasound was routinely performed to locate lesions and intrahepatic structures.Selective hemihepatic vascular occlusion was applied during resection. High frequency cautery,CUSA and Ligasure were used to transect liver parenchyma. Hemolocks were applied when large blood vessels and bile ducts were encountered.Endo-GIA was used if necessary.The operations included right hemihepatectomy (n =3),left hemihepatectomy (n =10),resections of segment Ⅴ and Ⅵ (n=5),segment Ⅴ (n=3),segment Ⅵ (n =4),and segment Ⅳb (n =1).Result34 hepatectomics were performed laparoscopically.6 patients were converted to open surgery.There was no perioperative death. The operating time was 250.21±50.94 min,and intraoperative blood loss was 420.20± 120.10 ml.Bile leakage was diagnosed in 2 patients after operation.Conclusion With careful patient selection,and improvement in surgical technique and apparatus,laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy has become safe and practicable.The operation has the advantages of minimal invasion and rapid recovery. It can be regarded as a standard procedure for selected benign and malignant lesions.

A prospective study of unilateral placement of plastic stents for Bismuth type Ⅳ hilar cholangiocarcinoma / 中国普通外科杂志

Objective To explore the clinical effects of unilateral placement of plastic stents by ERCP for nonresectable Bismuth type IV hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods A prospective study was conducted in 42 patients with nonresectable Bismuth type IV hilar cholangiocarcinoma,who had unilateral insertion of plastic stents in the recent 4 years,All of the patients had successful insertion of single plastic stent by ERCP manipulation.Early results (less than 30 days) of procedure-related complications,mortality,long-term results (greater than 30 days) and survival were observed.Results All of the 42 patients had successful drainage.Mean total bilirubin value decreased from (332.3?163.4)?mol/L to (30.6?18.5)?mol/L,and complete resolution of jaundice was achieved in 61.9% (26/42)of the patients.Early comlications included papilla bleeding due to EST in 4 of 42 patients (9.5%) and acute cholangitis in 10 of 42 patients (23.8%).No procedure-related death occurred.All of the patients needed to have their stents replaced periodically,and the median duration up to the first stent replacement was 65 d,and without significant differences between the two groups in stent insertion to the left and right hepatic duct.Median duration of stent patency was 5.15 months,and median patient survival was 6.5 months,but also no significant differences were found between the two groups.Conclusions Unilateral plastic stent insertion is safe and feasible,can achieve adequate drainage for relatively long time,and can improve life quality and survival for patients with nonresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
