Accuracy of Hepatobiliary Scintigraphy after Liver Transplantation and Liver Resection

Accuracy of Hepatobiliary Scintigraphy after Liver Transplantation and Liver Resection

Background and Aims. Biliary complications are the most frequent complications after common liver surgeries. In this study, accuracy of hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) and impact of hyperbilirubinemia were evaluated. Methods. Between November 2007 and February 2016, 131 patients underwent hepatobiliary scintigraphy after having liver surgery. 39 patients with 42 scans after LTX (n = 13) or hep...

Monitoring Hepatocyte Dysfunction and Biliary Complication After Liver Transplantation Using Quantitative Hepatobiliary Scintigraphy

The significance of hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) for hepatic graft function assessment was established mostly on retrospective studies and was not widely recognized due to the lack of quantitative data and variation in accuracy. This prospective study was performed to investigate the effectiveness of quantitative HBS for assessing hepatocyte dysfunction and biliary complication in liver tra...

Liver Regeneration in Rats after Liver Resection and Small-for-size Liver Transplantation from Living Donors

Preoperative assessment of postoperative remnant liver function using hepatobiliary scintigraphy.

UNLABELLED Hepatic resection is the therapy of choice for malignant and symptomatic benign hepatobiliary tumors. The concept of remnant liver volume (RLV) has been introduced and can be assessed with CT. However, inhomogeneous liver function distribution and a lack of correlation between morphologic hypertrophy and functional recovery fuelled the enthusiasm for functional imaging. The aim of th...

Surgical management of hepatocellular carcinoma. Liver resection and liver transplantation.

Although remarkable progress has been made in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma HCC, local control is still the most important consideration. Liver resection is and will continue to be the first-line therapeutic modality for local control of a primary HCC, including cases with intrahepatic metastases. For a large HCC, or multiple HCCs with vascular invasion, aggressive liver resection m...
