To study the influence of infectious complications on the outcomes of orthotopic liver transplantation. Materials and methods . The methodology involved analyzing the outcomes of 159 orthotopic transplantations of full postmortem liver for 2013–2022. Surgical complications were classified according to Clavien-Dindo (2004). Special attention was paid to microbiological examination of biological fluids with determination of the pathogen species and susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. Determination of isolated cultures and sensitivity to antibacterial agents was carried out using automatic analyzers. Sensitivity and resistance to antimicrobials were determined according to the recommendations of the European Committee (EUCAST, www.eucast.org). Results . At present, 78 of 141 recipients are alive. After discharge, 42 died of various causes within 4–124 months. In-hospital mortality was 9.9% after primary liver transplantations and 38.9% after retransplantations. Recently, K. pneumoniae (18.8%), E. coli (18.7%), C. albicans (9.7%) have dominated the pathogen spectrum. In microbiological examination, after primary transplantation, pathogens were more often isolated from the wound discharge, after retransplantation – from the biliary system. Conclusion . Infectious complications remain a significant cause of unsatisfactory outcomes of liver transplantation. The greatest negative prognostic role belongs to biliary infection caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens in combination with insufficient arterial blood supply of the transplant.","PeriodicalId":36549,"journal":{"name":"Annals of HPB Surgery","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136237426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To study the reasons for stone migration from the gallbladder into the main bile ducts after endoscopic lithoextraction and to develop methods for preventing recurrent mechanical jaundice before performing the cholecystectomy.

Delayed cholecystectomy was recommended for 328 patients with calculous cholecystitis and mechanical jaundice after endoscopic papillosphincterotomy, lithoextraction and restoration of adequate bile outflow. 23 patients were readmitted to hospital with recurrent mechanical jaundice caused by recurrent choledocholithiasis. All patients underwent duodenoscopy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiography and lithoextraction within 12 hours after admission. The size of the gallstones, the diameter of the cystic duct, the level of its insertion into the common hepatic duct, and the length of the previously performed papillotomy were considered as possible causes of recurrent choledocholithiasis.

The study involved analysis of correlation between infections associated with health care and main risk factors, including contamination of different loci and preservation solution. Results . The incidence of healthcare-associated infections accounted for 22.2%. The cumulative incidence of donor organ and recipient contamination was 9.85%. Transmission of infection occurred in 29% of cases. Sepsis developed in 8% of all recipients with healthcare-associated infection. The mortality rate was 70% in cases of sepsis. After liver transplantation, in-hospital mortality was 9.3%. Urgent transplantation was required in 10.7% of observations. Univariate regression analysis shows the highest risk contribution to healthcare-associated infection for the MELD score, contamination of preservation solution with multidrug-resistant flora, severe early graft dysfunction, blood loss, and warm ischemia time. Conclusion . Contamination of preservation solution increases the risk of bacterial complications associated with liver transplantation. The resistance profile affects the development time, structure and outcome of these complications.

The patients had pancreatojejunostomosis formed with the wound surface of the pancreatic head and duct, and duodenojejunostomosis with the lower horizontal part of the duodenum. The first patient had no complications in the postoperative period. After 6 months, the patient showed improvement in the external secretory function of the pancreas, with absence of pain syndrome. The second patient developed gastrointestinal bleeding on day 10 and underwent endoscopic hemostasis. In 1.5, the esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed patent anastomosis, without signs of inflammation. The applied variant of surgery enables pancreatic juice to be secreted as close to anatomical and physiological conditions as possible.

The authors considered the main types of surgical interventions to be performed in this pathology. It is noted that in the middle of the 20th century, the direct portacaval anastomosis gained the widest acceptance of all the proposed types of vascular anastomoses. A number of surgeons considered it a classical method of treatment in portal hypertension. Thereafter, the indirect portacaval anastomosis proved to have the best outcomes. The advantage of portacaval anastomoses in comparison with other modifications of surgeries was substantiated by a significant decrease in portal pressure and disappearance of oesophageal varices after developing the anastomosis. Surgical treatment of patients with liver cirrhosis and portal system thrombosis reasonably requires closer attention of doctors in various fields.

To evaluate the immediate and long-term results of two-stage liver resection performed by means of ALPPS technique. Materials and methods . The retrospective analysis involved 7 patients (mean age 62 years) with intact liver parenchyma volume (Future Liver Remnant, FLR) <25%. All patients underwent ALPPS from 2014 to 2021. Both stages of ALPPS were performed in the traditional way. The increment of intact parenchyma on days 6–8 after stage I was evaluated by CT volumetry. The main operative characteristics, incidence of postoperative complications according to Clavien-Dindo and ISGLS, time without progression and life expectancy were analyzed. Results . The median duration of ALPPS stage I was 250 min, median blood loss was 600 ml, and stage II – 210 min and 300 ml, correspondingly. The median FLR before and after ALPPS stage I was 15.3% and 31.6%. The median FLR hypertrophy after ALPPS stage I accounted for 123%. The median interval between stage I and II of ALPPS was 10 days. All patients underwent R0 resection. The incidence of postoperative complications after ALPPS stage I was 14.3% (Clavien–Dindo I), after stage II – 57.1% (Clavien–Dindo III–V). The mortality rate within 90 days after ALPPS stage II accounted for 14.3%. Median follow-up was 25 months. The median time without progression in 6 patients operated for colorectal cancer metastases was 6 months, the median life expectancy was 31 months. The patient who underwent ALPPS for hepatocellular carcinoma is alive, no signs of disease progression have been detected. Conclusion . ALPPS provides a rapid and more than two-fold growth in FLR and increases the likelihood of R0 resection in patients with initially unresectable primary and secondary liver tumors. However, the immediate results of ALPPS are unsatisfactory. The indications for surgery are extremely controversial due to the development of drug therapies, ablation techniques and radiotherapy.","PeriodicalId":36549,"journal":{"name":"Annals of HPB Surgery","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136237277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
