Several Helicobacter species have recently been isolated from the bile and hepatobiliary systems of murine species, and are well recognized as a pathogen of the hepatobiliary disorder. This study was planned to investigate whether Helicobacter species possess a causative potential for human hepatobiliary disease, especially for hepatobiliary carcinogenesis. Bile and hepatobiliary tissue samples...

Hepatobiliary scintigraphy is a sensitive method for intra & extera hepatic bile leak diagnosis. Bile lead may be seen after hepatobiliary surgery, trauma, inflammatory disease or malignant neoplasms. Although sonography and CT scanning are useful for diagnosis of peritoneal or perihepatic fluid, they cannot prove bile ascites. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy with Tc-99m-IDA agents is a physio...

A-26-year old female patient with chronic Budd-Chiari syndrome due to different underlying blood disorders applied for a two-year followup of the liver with Gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic-acid-(Gd-EOB-DTPA-) enhanced MRI. The liver function tests were raised. Besides showing a progressive hepatosplenomegaly and a cirrhotic liver alteration, the MRI revealed multiple new n...

First introduced in 1992 like a method to replace a damaged hepatic artery during major hepatobiliary surgery, Portal Vein arterialization (PVA) is becoming now a method to rescue the grafts in the field of liver transplantation, when an arterial thrombosis occur, and there are no alternative ways to restore the arterial flow. Moreover there are a lot of experimental studies showing that PVA ha...

We review the estimation of total and individual serum bile acids to detect the presence and nature of hepatobiliary disease. The different methods for measuring serum bile acids are discussed.

PURPOSE To evaluate hepatobiliary phase magnetic resonance imaging with gadobenate dimeglumine for differentiation of benign hypervascular liver lesions from malignant or high-risk lesions. METHODS AND MATERIALS Retrospective assessment was performed of 550 patients with 910 hypervascular lesions (302 focal nodular hyperplasia [FNH], 82 nodular regenerative hyperplasia [NRH], 59 hepatic adeno...

In this report, we present the application of hepatobiliary scintigraphy using Tc-99m mebrofenin in the diagnosis of bronchobiliary fistula caused by a liver hydatid cyst, which penetrated the diaphragm. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy noticeably depicted the leakage of the tracer from the biliary system of the liver to the bronchial tree. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy stands as a robust modality in th...

From the first liver resection by A. Luis in 1886 to modern day liver transplantation, hepatobiliary surgery has witnessed major advancements over the last century. Much of this technical achievement has been attained on the back of progressively improved understanding of the liver anatomy and its potential variant. From Cantlie to Couinaud, many anatomists contributed towards this modern-day u...
