Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic middle hepatic vein-guided anatomical hemihepatectomy combined with transhepatic duct lithotomy (MATL) is an approach that can substantially improve stone clearance rates while reducing the rate of postoperative biliary fistula formation, residual stone rates, and rates of recurrence. In this study, we classified left-side hepatolithiasis cases into four subtypes based upon the diseased stone-containing bile duct, the middle hepatic vein, and the right hepatic duct. We then investigated the risk associated with different subtypes and evaluated the safety and efficacy of the MATL procedure. METHODS In total, 372 patients who underwent left hemihepatectomy for left intrahepatic bile duct stones were enrolled. Based on the distribution of the stones, the cases could be divided into four types. The risk of surgical treatment was compared for the four types and the safety, short-term efficacy, and long-term efficacy of the MATL procedure in the four types of left intrahepatic bile duct stones were studied. RESULTS Type II was found to be the most likely to cause intraoperative bleeding while type III was likely to cause biliary tract damage and type IV was associated with the highest stone recurrence rate. The MATL procedure did not increase the risk of surgery and was found to reduce the rate of bile leakage, residual stones, and stone recurrence. CONCLUSION Left-side hepatolithiasis-associated risk classification is feasible and may represent a viable means of improving the safety and feasibility of the MATL procedure.

The feasibility of medial segment graft in pediatric liver transplantation revisited by three-dimensional printing. J Pediatr Surg 2021; 56:1162-1168. [PMID: 33840503 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2021.03.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2021] [Accepted: 03/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The medial segment as a mono-segmental graft was proposed to increase the donor pool for pediatric liver transplantation, but to date, there has been no published case. This study aims to revisit the feasibility of procuring the medial segment graft (MSG) by three-dimensional (3D) printing and ex vivo procedures performed on explanted diseased livers to overcome the gap between theory and clinical implementation. METHODS From October 2004 to December 2016, we retrospectively analyzed preoperative computed tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, and intraoperative cholangiography images of our previous live liver donors and identified the indicated anatomy for the MSG, then materialized by 3D printing models to simulate the engraftment. Furthermore, we practiced the procurement procedures on selected explanted diseased livers. RESULTS Among 291 analyzed livers, 96 livers (33%) met the arterial criteria for MSG, and two-thirds of them had ideal portal branches for reconstruction. The proposed right border of the MSG was the Cantlie's line, and the left edge was the right side of the umbilical fissure. The mean estimated volume of the MSG was 234 ± 54 ml. Besides, we suggest implanting the MSG as an auxiliary partial graft in an inverted vertical position or a standalone graft with right-side rotation in the right subphrenic space. CONCLUSION The procurement of the MSG is feasible based on our results. However, due to the novelty of the procedure, we suggest that the first attempted case of MSG should be implanted as an auxiliary partial graft to maximize patient safety. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Type of study: Case series with no comparison groups EVIDENCE LEVEL: Level IV.
