RESUMO

Therapeutic decision-making for advanced GIST liver metastases is challenging due to limited clinical evidence. This case study aims to demonstrate the survival benefit of resection in non-responsive cases. A 40-year-old male presented with abdominal pain, weight loss, altered general status, massive hepatomegaly, and intermittent melaena. He was diagnosed with stage IV GIST with the primary tumor in the ileal loop and multiple gigantic synchronous bilobar liver metastases. Despite 31 months of tyrosine-kinase inhibitor therapy post-primary tumor resection, the disease remained unresponsive. The patient was admitted to our tertiary center with significant hepatomegaly. A two-stage debulking liver resection was performed after a multidisciplinary team decision. The first operation debulked the left hemiliver through a non-anatomical ultrasound-guided resection of segments 2, 3, and 4. The second operation (7 weeks later) debulked the right hemiliver through a right posterior sectionectomy involving segments 5 and 8. Despite receiving a second line of tyrosine-kinase inhibitor therapy after surgery, the disease progressed both within and outside the liver. However, the patient survived for 55 months, with a postoperative survival benefit of 25 months. In conclusion, this case emphasizes the significant survival benefit achieved through a complex two-stage debulking liver resection for giant liver metastases, even in cases where systemic therapy fails.

RESUMO

This technical paper introduces a novel organ preservation system based on isochoric (constant volume) supercooling. The system is designed to enhance the stability of the metastable supercooling state, offering potential long-term preservation of large biological organs at subfreezing temperatures without the need for cryoprotectant additives. Detailed technical designs and usage protocols are provided for researchers interested in exploring this field. The paper also presents a control system based on the thermodynamics of isochoric freezing, utilizing pressure monitoring for process control. Sham experiments were performed using whole pig liver sourced from a local food supplier to evaluate the system's ability to sustain supercooling without ice nucleation for extended periods. The results demonstrated sustained supercooling without ice nucleation in pig liver tissue for 24 and 48 h. These findings suggest the potential of this technology for large-volume, cryoprotectant-free organ preservation with real-time control over the preservation process. The simplicity of the isochoric supercooling device and the design details provided in the paper are expected to serve as encouragement for other researchers in the field to pursue further research on isochoric supercooling. However, final evidence that these preserved organs can be successfully transplanted is still lacking.

RESUMO

We present the case of a 54-year-old female patient, diagnosed with stage IV rectal cancer, with multiple (12) synchronous liver metastases, the largest of 10 cm in diameter, bilobar distributed. The operative management consisted in simultaneous ultra-low robotic anterior resection with coloanal anastomosis (protected by ileostomy) and multiple ultrasound-guided non-anatomical liver resections (in open approach). The patient was unable to follow neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy due to the systemic side effects. The intrahepatic disease presented 2 episodes of recurrence, sanctioned by ultrasound-guided non-anatomical parenchyma sparing liver resections. In total 32 liver metastases were addressed (31 resected and 1 radiofrequency ablated). The patient presented 1 episode of lung recurrence, sanctioned by right superior lobectomy and lymphadenectomy for a singular metastasis. The patient died with disease progression both intra-, and extrahepatically after 34 months post first surgical intervention.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Given its size and location, the liver is the third most injured organ by abdominal trauma. Thanks to recent advances, it is unanimously accepted that the non-operative management is the current mainstay of treatment for hemodynamically stable patients. However, those patients with hemodynamic instability that generally present with severe liver trauma associated with major vascular lesions will require surgical management. Moreover, an associated injury of the main bile ducts makes surgery compulsory even in the case of hemodynamic stability, thereby imposing therapeutic challenges in the tertiary referral hepato-bilio-pancreatic centers' setting. CASE SUMMARY: We present the case of a 38-year-old male patient with The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma grade V liver injury and an associated right branch of portal vein and common bile duct avulsion, due to a crush polytrauma. The patient was referred to the nearest emergency hospital and because of the hemorrhagic shock, damage control surgery was performed by means of ligation of the right portal vein branch and right hepatic artery, and hemostatic packing. Afterwards, the patient was referred immediately to our tertiary hepato-bilio-pancreatic center. We performed depacking, a right hepatectomy and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. On the 9th postoperative day, the patient developed a high output anastomotic bile leak that required a redo of the cholangiojejunostomy. The postoperative period was marked by a surgical incision site of incomplete evisceration that was managed non-operatively by negative wound pressure. The follow-up was optimal, with no complications at 55 mo. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the current case clearly supports that a favorable outcome in severe liver trauma with associated vascular and biliary injuries is achieved thru proper therapeutic management, conducted in a tertiary referral hepato-bilio-pancreatic center, where a stepwise and complex surgical approach is mandatory.

RESUMO

This study was motivated by the increasing interest in finding ways to preserve organs in a supercooled state for transplantation. Previous research with small volumes suggests that the isochoric (constant volume) thermodynamic state enhances the stability of supercooled solutions. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of storing a large organ, such as the pig liver, in a metastable isochoric supercooled state for clinically relevant durations. To achieve this, we designed a new isochoric technology that employs a system consisting of two domains separated by an interior boundary that can transfer heat and pressure, but not mass. The liver is preserved in one of these domains in a solution with an intracellular composition, which is in osmotic equilibrium with the liver. Pressure is used to monitor the thermodynamic state of the isochoric chamber. In this feasibility study, two pig livers were preserved in the device in an isochoric supercooled state at -2°C. The experiments were terminated voluntarily, one after 24 h and the other after 48 h of supercooling preservation. Pressure measurements indicated that the livers did not freeze during the isochoric supercooling preservation. This is the first proof that organs as large as the pig liver can remain supercooled for extended periods of time in an isotonic solution in an isochoric system, despite an increased probability of ice nucleation with larger volumes. To serve as controls and to test the ability of pressure monitoring to detect freezing in the isochoric chamber, an experiment was designed in which two pig livers were frozen at -2°C for 24 h and the pressure monitored. Histological examination with H&E stains revealed that the supercooled liver maintained a normal appearance, even after 48 h of supercooling, while tissues in livers frozen to -2°C were severely disrupted by freezing after 24 h.

RESUMO

Liver resection for malignant tumors should respect oncological margins while ensuring safety and improving the quality of life, therefore tumor staging, underlying liver disease and performance status should all be attentively assessed in the decision process. The concept of parenchyma-sparing liver surgery is nowadays used as an alternative to major hepatectomies to address deeply located lesions with intricate topography by means of complex multiplanar parenchyma-sparing liver resections, preferably under the guidance of intraoperative ultrasound. Regenerative liver surgery evolved as a liver growth induction method to increase resectability by stimulating the hypertrophy of the parenchyma intended to remain after resection (referred to as future liver remnant), achievable by portal vein embolization and liver venous deprivation as interventional approaches, and portal vein ligation and associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy as surgical techniques. Interestingly, although both strategies have the same conceptual origin, they eventually became caught in the never-ending parenchyma-sparing liver surgery vs. regenerative liver surgery debate. However, these strategies are both valid and must both be mastered and used to increase resectability. In our opinion, we consider parenchyma-sparing liver surgery along with techniques of complex liver resection and intraoperative ultrasound guidance the preferred strategy to treat liver tumors. In addition, liver volume-manipulating regenerative surgery should be employed when resectability needs to be extended beyond the possibilities of parenchyma-sparing liver surgery.

RESUMO

Background: Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation (ALPPS) has evolved as a treatment strategy for patients with liver tumors who are not amenable for upfront hepatectomy because of an insufficient future liver remnant (FLR). Aim of this study was to test the applicability of ultrasound guided parenchyma sparing surgery to ALPPS concept, by non-anatomically shifting the plane of transection in favor of FLR, resulting in a new technical variant of ALPPS, entitled parenchyma sparing ALPPS (psALPPS). Materials and Methods: Patients who could not safely undergo right trisectionectomy ALPPS because of insufficient FLR were considered eligible for psALPPS, consisting in liver partition through segment 4 using ultrasound guidance. Results: Between April 2017 and April 2021, five patients with median age of 68 years (range: 66-78), four male and one female, underwent psALPPS for colorectal liver metastases (N=2), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (N=2), and hepatocellular carcinoma (N=1). Standardized FLR (sFLR) for segments 2-3 before stage 1 surgery would have been a median of 11.6%. PsALPPS could double the sFLR at stage 1 resulting in an increase of ps-sFLR from a median of 22.7% (at stage 1) to 34.0% (at stage 2) after a median interstage interval of 15 days. All patients tolerated surgery well and no major complications were recorded. Conclusions: Applying the principles of parenchyma sparing surgery to ALPPS offers the advantage to maximize FLR and simultaneously reduce ischemic injury of segment 4 compared to conventional ALPPS. In this way, psALPPS may markedly increase resectability while reducing morbidity.

RESUMO

Background: Surgery for severe liver trauma remains challenging even for HPB surgeons, mainly due the hemodynamical instability, involvement of major vascular and biliary elements, impaired background liver and frequent anatomical variants. In this setting, despite conservative policy, major liver resection is still required in selected cases. Also salvage liver transplantation may be needed. Our study aims to analyze the results after definitive surgery for hepatic injury (HI) in a tertiary HPB center. Methods: Sixty-six patients with HI were admitted and treated in our center between June 2000 and June 2021. The median age was 29 years (mean 35, range 10-76). The male/female ratio was 50/16. According to the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) system, HIs were grade II in one patient (1.5%), grade III in 11 pts (16.7%), grade IV in 25 pts (37.9%), and grade V in 29 pts (43.9%); no patient had grade I or VI HI. Results: Fifty-two pts (78.8%) benefitted from surgery and 14 pts (21.2%) from non-operative treatment (NOT). Perihepatic packing was previously performed in 38 pts (73.1%). Surgery consisted in hepatic resections (HR) in 51 pts (77.3%) and liver transplantation in one patient (1.5%). The rate of major HR was 51.9% (27 HRs). The overall major morbidity and mortality rates were 33.3% (20 pts) and 13.6% (9 pts), respectively. For surgery, the major complication rate was 35.3% (18 pts), while for major and minor HR were 40.7% (11 pts) and 29.2% (7 pts), respectively; the mortality rate was 15.7% (8 pts). After NOT, the major morbidity and mortality rates were 14.3% (2 pts) and 7.1% (1 pt), respectively. Conclusions: Hepatic resections, especially major ones and/or involving vascular and biliary reconstructions, as well as non-operative treatment for severe hepatic injuries, are to be carried out in tertiary HPB centers, thus minimizing the morbidity and mortality rates, while having the liver transplantation as salvage option.

CT contrast portal phase imaging revealed a tumor located at the main biliary confluence, in the proximity of the main portal bifurcation, with no venous or arterial vascular invasion, nor extrahepatic metastases. MRCP diagnosed a Bismuth- Corlette type Klatskin IIIb tumor. For complete assessment of biliary involvement and surgical planning, in addition to the Bismuth-Corlette classification, we took into consideration the presence of infiltration of the bile ducts for segment 1, documented at MRCP. Therefore, a left hepatectomy with en-bloc complete segment 1 resection, along with the main bile ducts and hilar lymphadenectomy, was considered best suited for achieving curative resection in this case. After an uneventful postoperative course, the patient was discharged in the 12th postoperative day. Currently, the patient is disease-free after 84 months. We consider that the long-term recurrence free survival was favored by the complete segment 1 resection. Therefore, for complete assessment of biliary involvement in Klatskin tumor, we recommend that in addition to Bismuth-Corlette classification, infiltration of the bile duct for segment 1 should always be evaluated. If present, the entire segment 1 should be removed for best oncological results.

RESUMO

Hepatectomy is the only potentially curative treatment of hepatic tumors, but remains challenging in case of multiple, bilobar lesions and those located in the vicinity of the hepatic hilum and hepatic veins. Regenerative liver surgery utilizes the unique ability of the liver to re-grow after tissue loss and vascular deprivation. All concepts subsumed under this term aim to increase the resectability of hepatic tumors by stimulating growth of future liver remnant. Many of these techniques have evolved over the last decades. ALPPS (associated liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy) is an advanced technique combining portal vein ligation and parenchymal transection which gave rise to many variants, all with the common goal of extending resectability. This article reviews techniques currently available for regenerative liver surgery focusing on ALPPS, its mechanisms of liver regeneration, indications, advantages, drawbacks, results and future perspectives.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AIMS: The emergence of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, radically altered the management of GISTs and sparked controversy regarding the role of hepatic resection for metastatic tumors. This study aims to identify whether there is improvement in the overall survival of patients with gastrointestinal liver metastases, undergoing hepatic resection in the context of multimodal treatment strategy, as to those approached only by systemic therapy. Methods: Using a retrospective database, we identified 57 patients treated at our center over a 12-year period: Group A (n=31) underwent hepatic resection alongside systemic therapies, and B (n=26) only systemic therapies. In order to obtain a more robust sample, needed for the survival analysis, we performed a propensity score matching and a bootstrapping selection with Jackknife correction for errors; thus, we created an extended sample of 1000 virtual patients. Results: The overall survival measured in all patients was 47 months (95%CI:34-60); significantly higher for group A (56 months, 95%CI:37-75) compared to group B (38 months, 95%CI:19-56), (p=0.007, Log Rank test). Multivariate analysis identified one risk factor: the presence synchronous liver metastases upon diagnosis of primary. Conclusions: Liver resection following TKI therapy is the current mainstay of treatment strategy for potential cure and prolonged survival, in appropriately selected patients evaluated in an multidisciplinary tumor board.

RESUMO

Background: The need to maximize the use of donor organs and the issue of ischemia-reperfusion injury led to the use of thermoregulated oxygenated machine perfusion that improves the function of liver graft prior to transplantation. Among these methods, the HOPE (hypothermic oxygenated perfusion) protocol shows significant benefits. The aim of the paper is to analyze the early experience in using such procedure in a high-volume liver transplantation center. Methods: Normal liver grafts with cold ischemia time â?¥6 hours, marginal grafts and discarded (beyond ECD criteria) grafts were perfused using HOPE. Our selection criteria for dual HOPE (hepatic artery and portal perfusion) were steatosis, at least 3 associated ECD criteria, and discarded grafts. The main criteria to establish graft improvement were the progressive increase of arterial and portal flows, with lactate under 3 mmol/L or, even if over this value, with a decreasing trend during perfusion. Results: Whole liver grafts harvested from 28 donors between February 2016 and June 2021 benefitted from HOPE: 9 otherwise discarded grafts were assessed and considered not fit for transplantation, while the other 19 were ECD or standard grafts that were subsequently transplanted. Dual HOPE was used in 8 out of the 19 procedures (42.1%). We obtained a significant increase of arterial and portal flow (p=0.005 and p=0.001, respectively). In recipients, significant improvement of AST, ALT, INR and lactate values were recorded (p 0.001, p 0.001, p 0.001, and p=0.05, respectively). The rate of major postoperative complications (Dindo-Clavien grade 3) after LT was 26.3%, while the rate of early graft dysfunction was 15.8%. No PRS or acute rejection was recorded. The postoperative mortality rate was 15.8%. After a median follow-up of 9.3 months (range 2-44), the late major complication rate was 15.8%, without mortality. Conclusion: Machine perfusion is nowadays part of current clinical practice. This way, marginal liver grafts (DCD, ECD-DBD) may be safely used for transplantation improving the outcome, thus effectively enhance the use of a persistent scarce pool of donors. For best results, we believe that both techniques of HOPE (mono and dual HOPE) should be used based on specific selection criteria.

RESUMO

We present the case of a 72-year-old patient with multiple cardiovascular comorbidities, hospitalized in our center for a liver tumor, impossible to biopsy percutaneously. CT examination detected a tumor formation with radiological features of cholangiocarcinoma, located in the upper part of segment I, extending to segments VII, VIII, IV superior and II, invading the right and middle hepatic vein, adherent to the left hepatic vein and to the retrohepatic inferior vena cava. Worth mentioning is the existence of 2 accessory lower right hepatic veins, which allowed us to perform a superior transverse non-anatomical ultrasound resection of the upper I, VII, VIII, IV and II segments, which also involved the right and middle hepatic veins, preserving the left hepatic vein, by detaching the tumor from it, but also from the retrohepatic inferior vena cava. Although the literature still debates the R1 vascular resection for cholangiocarcinoma, we decided to adopt this approach on the hepatic veins. Of note, we consider this policy not applicable for the portal pedicles. By adopting this strategy, the venous drainage of the remaining left hemiliver was ensured by the hepatic vein, and of the right one by the accessory veins. Although resecting tumors located at the hepato-caval confluence involving all hepatic veins is technically difficult, we consider it feasible especially when intraoperative ultrasound is used.

RESUMO

We present the case of a 37-year-old patient with a surgical history of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor with jejunal location, AFIP classification 6a, hospitalized in our center for synchronous liver metastases. The oncological assessment performed after 12 months from surgery for primary tumor, during which Imatinib was administered, reveals stable disease. CT scan showed a single very large centrally located liver metastasis, 14 cm in diameter, involving segments V and VIII IV, IV and VII, compressing the main portal bifurcation, right hepatic vein, umbilical (scizural) vein and left hepatic vein, invading the middle hepatic vein. We considered it feasible to apply the concept of R1 vascular resection, performing a limited, non-anatomical, ultrasound-guided central hepatectomy, allowing detachment of the tumor from the right hepatic vein and from the umbilical vein. Thus, we sacrificed only the ventral portal pedicles of segments V and VIII and partially preserved these segments to avoid the risk of post-resection liver failure.Currently, the patient is disease-free after 53 months, supporting the concept of ultrasound-guided R1 vascular resection, in the context of systemic therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors for metastases of stromal gastrointestinal tumors.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The liver is one of the most frequently injured organs in abdominal trauma. The advancements in diagnosis and interventional therapy shifted the management of liver trauma towards a non-operative management (NOM). Nevertheless, in severe liver injuries (LI), surgical treatment often involving liver resection (LR) and rarely liver transplantation (LT) remains the main option. The present paper analyses a single center experience in a referral HPB center on a series of patients with high-grade liver trauma. METHODS: Forty-five patients with severe LI, that benefitted from NOM (6 pts), LRs (38 pts), and LT (1 pt) performed in our center between June 2000 and June 2019, were included in a combined prospective and retrospective study. The median age of the patients was 29 years (median 33, range 10-76), and the male/female ratio of 33/12. Almost all cases had blunt trauma, except 2 with stab wound (4.4%). RESULTS: LIs classified according to the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) system were 13.3% (grade III), 44.2% (grade IV), and 42.2% (grade V); none were grade I, II or VI. The rate of major LR was 56.4% (22 LRs). The median operative time was 200 minutes (mean 236; range 150-420). The median blood loss was 750 ml (mean 940; range 500-6500). Overall and major complication rates were 100% (45 pts) and 33.3% (15 pts), respectively. Overall mortality rate was 15.6% (7 pts). CONCLUSIONS: Severe liver trauma, often involving complex liver resections, should be managed in a referral HPB center, thus obtaining the best results in terms of morbidity and mortality.
