Significance of the effective remnant liver volume in major hepatectomies

2005

The aim of this study is to identify the minimum safe amount of effective remnant liver volume (ERLV) in patients undergoing a major hepatectomy. Thirty-eight consecutive major hepatectomies (resection of ≥3 Couinaud segments) performed between July 1999 and March 2004 in which a frozen section liver biopsy was obtained were included. No patient had chronic viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, or cholestasis. The total liver volume (TLV) was calculated using the Vauthey formula, and the postsurgical liver volume (PSLV) was derived by subtracting the estimated volume of liver resected from the TLV. The PSLV minus the percentage of macrovesicular steatosis as nonfunctional liver was defined as the ef…

Comparison of two different techniques of reperfusion in adult orthotopic liver transplantation

2006

: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of two reperfusion techniques on the peri-operative hemodynamic changes and early post-operative graft function of adult patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation. Material and methods: From June 2003 to May 2004, 50 consecutive liver transplants were performed and divided into two groups: group A, 25 patients, portal vein flush with 500 cm3 of Ringer's lactate without vena caval venting. Group B, 25 patients, vena caval venting with no portal vein flush. Donor and recipient characteristics were similar in both groups. Sixty-four different parameters were analyzed, and Pearson's χ2 test and t-test were used for statistical analy…
