RESUMO

Background: Deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) is increasing in India and now constitutes nearly one-third of all liver transplantation procedures performed in the country. There is currently no uniform national system of allocation of deceased donor livers. Methods: A national task force consisting of 19 clinicians involved in liver transplantation from across the country was constituted under the aegis of the Liver Transplantation Society of India to develop a consensus document addressing the above issues using a modified Delphi process of consensus development. Results: The National Liver Allocation Policy consensus document includes 46 statements covering all aspects of DDLT, including minimum listing criteria, listing for acute liver failure, DDLT wait-list management, system of prioritisation based on clinical urgency for adults and children, guidelines for allocation of paediatric organs and allocation priorities for liver grafts recovered from public sector hospitals. Conclusion: This document is the first step in the setting up of a nationally consistent policy of deceased donor liver allocation.

RESUMO

Surgical internal drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst can be done into the stomach, duodenum or jejunum depending on the anatomic relation of pseudocyst with hollow viscera. For cystojejunostomy, a Roux-en-Y loop is preferred over loop cystojejunostomy as former is thought to avoid the reflux of jejunal contents into the cyst cavity. This study presents our experience with laparoscopic loop cystojejunostomy showing loop cystojejunostomy for the pseudocyst of the pancreas can be safely performed laparoscopically with simpler technique with no complications including reflux.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is stressing healthcare services to an unprecedented extent. There is anecdotal evidence of reduction in organ donation and transplantation activity across the world. METHODS: The weekly organ donation and liver transplant numbers over a 3-month period (Feb 17, 2020, till May 17, 2020) for the United States, United Kingdom, and India were compared with their previous year's activity. Liver transplant activity in 6 centers from these countries with varying local COVID-19 caseload was also compared. RESULTS: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant contraction in organ donation and liver transplantation in all 3 countries. Peak reduction ranged from 25% in the United States to over 80% in the United Kingdom and India. The reduction was different for deceased donor and living donor liver transplantation and varied between centers within a country. There was early evidence of recovery of deceased donation in the United States and United Kingdom and resumption of living donor liver transplantation activity in India toward the end of the study period. A number of policy changes were undertaken at national and transplant center levels to ensure safe transplantation despite significant redirection of resources to combat the pandemic. CONCLUSIONS: There was a substantial reduction in organ donation and liver transplantation activity across the 3 countries with signs of recovery toward the end of the study period. Multiple factors including COVID-19 severity, stress on resources and influence of regulatory agencies and local factors are responsible for the reduction and recovery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The natural history of portal hypertension due to extrahepatic portal venous obstruction (EHPVO) in the presence of a non-cirrhotic liver is not well understood. AIM: To evaluate the presenting features and the natural history of EHPVO by assessing the bleed patterns prior to definitive management in these patients. METHODS: Two hundred and seven consecutive patients presenting with history of variceal bleeding due to EHPVO were studied prospectively. Clinical, hematological and biochemical features on presentation, and pattern and severity of bleeding prior to institution of endoscopic therapy or surgery were recorded. RESULTS: Ascites was observed in 16% and was invariably transient. Splenomegaly was present in 82%, with hypersplenism in 22%; however, hypersplenism was symptomatic in only 6% of patients. In 127 patients having more than one episode of bleeding, the frequency of bleeding episodes was 0.94/year and transfusion requirment was 1.47 units/year. No fixed pattern of frequency of variceal bleeding was identified. However, number of bleed episodes and transfusion units requirement correlated with each other. The maximum severity of bleeding was between the ages of 12 and 19 years. CONCLUSION: Hypersplenism causing symptoms is rare in EHPVO presenting with variceal bleed.
