ABSTRACT

METHODS: We present a series of three patients with large hepatocellular adenoma lesions showing a central location, for which the living donor liver transplantation strategy was used as a backup procedure. RESULTS: Hepatocellular adenoma was confirmed by biopsy in all patients. Surgical resection was indicated because of the patients' symptoms and lesion size and growth. All patients had a lesion that was central or in close contact with major vessels. The final decision to proceed with the resection was made intraoperatively. A live donor was prepared for all three patients. Two patients underwent portal vein embolization associated with extended hepatectomy, and a total hepatectomy plus liver transplantation with a living donor was performed in one patient. All patients had good postoperative outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: In the treatment of hepatocellular adenomas for which complex resections are necessary and resectability can only be confirmed intraoperatively, surgical safety can be improved through the use of a living donor backup. Center expertise with living donor liver transplantation is paramount for the success of this approach.

ABSTRACT

Many publications discuss the various strategies for vascular reconstruction (VR) in pediatric LDLT. Having knowledge of alternative techniques is helpful in planning transplants. This article presents three case reports that illustrate some of the alternative techniques for HV, PV, and HA reconstruction in pediatric LDLT. It also reviews the available alternative strategies reported for VR in pediatric LDLT. In the first case, a 13-month-old girl presented a PRETEXT III HB with invasion of the retrohepatic vena cava. An LLS graft HV was anastomosed to a DD iliac vein graft and subsequently implanted in a "standard" fashion in the recipient. In the second case, a 44-month-old boy presented with multifocal HB and portomesenteric thrombosis and the portal inflow was done through a renoportal anastomosis. In the third case, a 22-month-old child with a failed Kasai procedure had extensive HA thrombosis. The HA reconstruction was performed with an interposition of the recipient's IMV graft. The use of alternative techniques for VR in pediatric LDLT is paramount to the success of such a complex procedure. Imaging studies can help transplant surgeons outline surgical strategies and define the best technique to be used in each case.
