METHODS： A total of 411 patients who had undergone hepa- tectomy between December 2006 and December 2011 were ret- rospectively analyzed. The severity of bile leakage was graded according to the ISGLS classification. Twenty-eight pre- and postoperative parameters were analyzed. RESULTS： The overall bile leakage incidence was 10.2% （42/411）. The severity of the leakage was classified according to the IS- GLS classification. Bile leakage was detected early in case of abdominal drainage （11.4% vs 1.9%, P=0.034）. It prolonged the time of hospitalization （16 vs 9 days, P=0.001）. In all patients, wedge resection was associated with a higher incidence of bile leakage in contrast to anatomical resections （25.6% vs 4.1%, P〈0.0001） regardless of the underlying liver disease. Furthermore, total vascular exclusion increased risk of bile leakage （P=0.008）. CONCLUSIONS： Bile leakage as a major issue after hepatic resection is related to the postoperative morbidity and the hospitalization time. It is associated with non-anatomical re- section and a total vascular exclusion.展开更多

Methods: We used the ICG fluorescence during liver transplantations in six cirrhotic patients to help assessing the graft biliary duct perfusion in order to identify the appropriate level to perform the anastomosis. We also used ICG fluorescence also in five patients receiving kidney-pancreas transplantation to evaluate the perfusion levels of the duodenal stump of the pancreas graft. Results: Follow-up period for the patients was 12 months. The perioperative period was uneventful, no biliary complications such as leaks or stenosis were reported after liver transplantation, no complications of the entero-enteric anastomoses occurred after pancreatic transplantation. Conclusions: ICG fluorescence seems to safely provide important objectifiable perfusion information during organ transplantation procedures that can integrate surgeon's expertise. In fact, detecting intra-operatively perfusion defects, it allows real time modifications on technical strategies potentially useful to reduce the feared risk of anastomotic leakage and consequent severe complications.展开更多
