Surgical removal neoplasm remains most effective treatment option. Partial liver resection an adequate solution patients without cirrhosis or with well-compensated cirrhosis, orthotopic transplantation necessary in early stage HCC on background cirrhosis. Tu...

BACKGROUND Advances in surgical and medical management have greatly improved long-term survival rates in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). As these patients reach adulthood, myocardial dysfunction can occur, leading to cardiac transplantation. METHODS AND RESULTS We reviewed the pretransplantation and posttransplantation courses of 24 patients >18 years old (mean age, 26 years; ra...

A 66-year-old male, who had received renal transplantation 10 years before, was admitted to our hospital with urinary retention. The prostate volume was 169.2 ml. Furthermore, grade 5 vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) was shown in the cystography. Holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) was performed, and percutaneous nephrostomy to the transplanted kidney was performed simultaneously to preven...

Up to 3.2% of patients with testicular germ cell tumours represent with late-relapsing disease. Aggressive surgical resection confers the greatest chance of cure in this patient group. We present the case of a late and extensively relapsed nonseminomatous germ cell tumour with thrombus present along the entire length of the inferior vena cava, as well as in the right hepatic vein. Techniques pr...

Gastrointestinal bleeding caused by peptic ulcer or portal hypertension is a serious complication in liver transplant recipients. However, Gastrointestinal bleeding from hepatic artery origin after liver transplantation is rare. We report duodenal massive bleeding secondary to erosion of hepatic artery after liver transplantation in two patients. This was diagnosed by angiography and treated su...

BILIARY atresia is the most common indication for liver transplants in children, and this disorder is associated with some congenital vascular anomalies. Complex vascular anomalies increase the technical difficulties of the operation and previously resulted in high mortality in these patients. The role of the radiologist is to define the conditions in which transplantation is high risk or contr...

Ureteric stricture is the most common urologic complication following renal transplantation. Initial treatment should consist of endoscopic management, however patients that fail endoscopic management or strictures that are not amendable to endoscopic management are appropriate candidates for open surgical repair. In this manuscript we describe the steps and surgical technique we use to manage ...
