Giant hepatocellular adenoma as cause of severe abdominal pain: a case report

2007

Abstract The authors describe the case of a large hepatocellular adenoma diagnosed in a 30-year old woman who came to us complaining of acute pain in the upper abdominal quadrants. The patient had been taking an oral contraceptive pill for the last ten years. We present the clinical features, the diagnostic work-up and the treatment prescribed.

Optimizing Liver Division Technique for Procuring Left Lateral Segment Grafts: New Anatomical Insights.

2021

Left liver lobe (left lateral segment) grafts (LLG) is currently the most commonly used graft to transplant children (2/3 of cases currently in Europe); it is prepared by liver division (DL) in both living (LD) and deceased donors (DD) settings. Technically speaking, classical DL is through the parenchyma of segment IV - dividing the main left glissonean pedicle left to the main biliary confluence (trans-hilar (TH) approach): historically, this technique was introduced by Bismuth and Pichlmayr in 1988 in DD setting, and applied one year later for the first successful living donor transplantations by Strong (Figure 1).

Ischämietoleranz der Rattenleber durch alpha-Liponsäure

2003

Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) represents a major clinical problem in liver resection and transplantation. The present work investigated the potential of α-lipoic-acid (LA), a well established drug in the therapy of diabetes, to reduce IRI of the rat liver in vivo. Two groups were chosen: one group with injection of 500 μmol α-lipoic acid 15 min before clamping of the left and median liver lobes for 90 min, the other with injection of NaCl 0,9%. Reperfusion was carried out for 1 h and 7 days. The results showed that a-lipoic acid reduced IRI. LDH, α-GST and lipid peroxidation were significantly decreased in the LA-group after 1 h reperfusion indicating less cell death during reperfusion.…
