    Selective Upper-Body Perfusion Technique for Removal of Renal Cell Carcinoma Extending into the Inferior Vena Cava and Right Atrium

    Invasion of a renal cell carcinoma thrombus into the inferior vena cava and right atrium is infrequent. Reaching and completely excising a tumor from the inferior vena cava is particularly challenging because the liver covers the surgical field. We report the case of a 61-year-old man who underwent surgery for a renal cell carcinoma of the right kidney that extended into the inferior vena cava and right atrium. During dissection of the liver to expose the inferior vena cava, transesophageal echocardiograms revealed right atrial mass migration into the tricuspid valve. On emergency sternotomy, the tumor embolized into the main pulmonary artery. We used a selective upper-body perfusion technique involving moderately hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, cardioplegic arrest, and clamping of the descending aorta, which provided a bloodless surgical field for precise removal of the mass and resulted in minimal blood loss. Our technique might be useful in other patients with tumor thrombus extending into the right atrium because it reduces the need for transfusion and avoids the deleterious effects of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Our case also illustrates the importance of continuous transesophageal echocardiographic monitoring to detect thrombus embolization.

    The role of Intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) and methylene blue tests in reducing bile leakage after living donor hepatectomy

    Aim: Liver transplantation remains the only curative treatment in end stage liver disease. Biliary complications remain the most common major morbidity causes in hepatic resection. We aimed to determine and eliminate the bile leakage in donor hepatectomy of LDLT. Material and methods: This study was conducted retrospective and one center study. The study population included 110 consequential liver donors with major liver resection (more than three segments). The population was divided into three groups for data analyses. Primary study groups included 40 donors subjected to methylene blue test starting in April 2013 and 40 donors subjected to intraoperative cholangiography started in March 2014. Results: A total of 110 liver donors (42.7\% women) were included in the study. Postoperative biliary complications were less in methylene blue and intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) groups. Bile leakage was significantly higher in control group (23.3\%) compared to methylene blue (5\%) and IOC groups (2\%) Average duration of hospital stay and duration of operation were significantly higher in control group compared to methylene blue and IOC groups. Conclusion: In our study we conducted to establish biliary leakage in living donor hepatectomy which intraoperative cholangiography test was used to determine. Many intraoperative methods have been introduced to prevent biliary leakage and development of complications. We have showed that IOC test used in the present study could be easily applied in both living liver donor hepatectomy and other major hepatectomy cases. IOC test reduced postoperative biliary leakage incidence and did not increase incidence of other complications. (C) 2020 Asian Surgical Association and Taiwan Robotic Surgery Association.
