BackgroundNon-operative management (NOM) is accepted treatment of splenic injury, but this may fail leading to splenectomy. Splenic artery embolization (SAE) improve rate salvage. The purpose determine the cost-utility addition SAE for high-grade injuries.MethodsA analysis was developed compared NOM in patients with blunt injury. Sensitivity completed account uncertainty. Utility outcome qualit...

INTRODUCTION The Page kidney is a rare phenomenon that refers to hypertension resulting from any external compression of a kidney by a hematoma, tumor, lymphocele, or urinoma. The activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is believed to be the main mechanism responsible for development of resistant hypertension in Page kidney. CASE PRESENTATION We reported a patient with chronic ...

Spontaneous, nontraumatic retroperitoneal hemorrhage or Wunderlich syndrome (WS) is a rare but potential life-threatening condition. In most patients a bleeding renal neoplasm is the cause of the retroperitoneal hematoma. The management of this condition includes a conservative approach in the hemodynamically stable patients and active treatment in the unstable patients. Active treatment includ...

Introduction The common hepatic artery is normally a branch of coeliac trunk. It runs forwards and to the right and divides into a hepatic artery proper and a gastroduodenal artery. The hepatic artery proper terminates by dividing into right and left hepatic arteries and the gastroduodenal artery terminates by dividing into superior pancreaticoduodenal artery and right gastroepiploic artery. Th...

Living donor liver transplantation has been associated with severe vascular complications like hepatic artery thrombosis, which commonly involves the hepatic segment 4. Most authors have defined the artery to this segment as the middle hepatic artery. The present study was undertaken to characterize the origin of middle hepatic artery and classify the variations observed in cadaveric livers, an...

The volume flow rate of blood in the portal vein and the hepatic artery was measured using a duplex ultrasound system. Two sections of the hepatic artery were studied; the common hepatic artery where measurements were made just after the bifurcation of the coeliac axis to splenic and hepatic arteries and the hepatic artery itself, where measurements were made just proximal to the porta hepatis ...

INTRODUCTION The anatomical variants of the hepatic artery may have important implications for pancreatic cancer surgery. The aim of our study is to compare the outcome following a pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) in patients with or without a variant hepatic artery arising from superior mesenteric artery. MATERIAL AND METHODS We reviewed 151 patients with periampullary tumoral pathology. All patie...
