Investigations of robotics and laparoscopy in minimally invasive hepatectomy
Biomedical Technology, 2023 The concept of minimally invasive liver surgery has been widely accepted due to the advantages of fast recovery. Robotic hepatectomy is different from laparoscopic hepatectomy due to its fixed joint instruments, operation mode and magnification.

The influence of liver dysfunction on cyclosporine pharmacokinetics -A comparison between 70 per cent hepatectomy and complete bile duct ligation in dogs- [PDF]
, 1989 The influence of experimentally induced hepatic dysfunction on the pharmacokinetics of Cyclosporine A (CsA) was determined in dogs. The pharmacokinetics of oral (PO) and intravenous (IV) CsA were studied before and after 70 per cent hepatectomy or ...

Appropriate indications for laparoscopic repeat hepatectomy
BMC Surgery, 2023 Background Laparoscopic repeat hepatectomy (LRH) has increased, but appropriate indications for LRH are unclear. This study aimed to clarify appropriate indications for LRH. Methods We retrospectively compared surgical outcomes between open RH (ORH) (n =

Physics-based tissue simulator to model multicellular systems: A study of liver regeneration and hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We present a multiagent-based model that captures the interactions between different types of cells with their microenvironment, and enables the analysis of the emergent global behavior during tissue regeneration and tumor development. Using this model, we are able to reproduce the temporal dynamics of regular healthy cells and cancer cells, as well as

Liver Transplantation, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract End‐ischemic viability testing by normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) represents an effective strategy to recover liver grafts having initially been discarded for liver transplantation (LT). However, its results in the setting of significant (≥30%) macrovesicular steatosis (MaS) have not been specifically assessed.
