Ischemic preconditioning attenuates portal venous plasma concentrations of purines following warm liver ischemia in man [PDF]
, 2005 Background/Aims: Degradation of adenine nucleotides to adenosine has been suggested to play a critical role in ischemic preconditioning (IPC). Thus, we questioned in patients undergoing partial hepatectomy whether (i) IPC will increase plasma purine ...

Vitamin E Attenuates the Progression of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Caused by Partial Hepatectomy in Mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) likely involves a 'multiple hit' mechanism. We hypothesized that partial hepatectomy, a procedure performed frequently in patients with NAFLD, would accelerate the progression of disease.C57BL ...

Is preservation of middle hepatic vein tributaries during right hemi-hepatectomy beneficial for live donor liver transplantation? [PDF]
, 2012 Background/Aims: When right hemi-hepatectomy without middle hepatic vein (MHV) is performed in a living donor (LD), MHV tributaries such as V5 and V8 may be preserved during parenchymal transection to preserve liver function and reduce the damage of the ...

Varied application of intercostal trans-diaphragmatic ports for laparoscopic hepatectomy.
PLoS ONE, 2020 BackgroundThe ribcage and diaphragm are mechanical barriers for laparoscopic access during hepatectomy. Here, we introduce the varied application of intercostal trans-diaphragmatic ports during laparoscopic hepatectomy, and describe the management of ...
