Abstract

Purpose

Post-transplant biliary stricture (PBS) is a common and important complication following orthotopic liver transplantation (LT). This study clarified the incidence of PBS and identified its risk factors.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 67 patients who underwent living-donor LT (LDLT) at our institute between June 2010 and July 2022 and analyzed their clinical characteristics, prognosis, and risk factors for PBS.

Results

Of the 67 patients, 26 (38.8%) developed PBS during the observation period. Multivariate analyses revealed the following independent risk factors for PBS formation: increased red cell transfusion volume per body weight (> 0.2 U/kg; hazard ratio [HR], 3.8; P = 0.002), increased portal vein pressure (PVP) at the end of LT (> 16 mmHg; HR, 2.88; P = 0.032), postoperative biliary leakage (HR, 4.58; P = 0.014), and prolonged warm ischemia time (WIT) (> 48 min; HR, 4.53; P = 0.008). In patients with PBS, the cumulative incidence of becoming stent free was significantly higher in patients with a WIT ≤ 48 min than in those with a WIT > 48 min (P = 0.038).

Conclusion

Prolonged WIT is associated with intractable PBS following LDLT.

Op.-Entscheidung bei Divertikulitis: Lebensqualität zählt!

Soll man Menschen, die schon mehrfach schmerzhafte Divertikulitisepisoden durchgemacht haben, eine Op. anbieten? Ein Team aus Helsinki rät, dies von der Lebensqualität abhängig zu machen.

Akute Cholezystitis bei multimorbiden Älteren: Operation nicht sofort ausschließen!

Bei älteren, multimorbiden Menschen mit akuter Cholezystitis wird eine Operation häufig nicht erwogen. Eine Studie aus Philadelphia zeigt nun jedoch, dass auch diese Patientinnen und Patienten von einer chirurgischen Therapie profitieren können.

Was geschehen muss, damit Prähabilitation in die Leitlinien kommt

Eine Prähabilitation vor einem viszeralchirurgischen Eingriff ist Experten zufolge äußerst sinnvoll, dennoch wird sie in Leitlinien derzeit nicht empfohlen. Beim DCK erklärte Prof. Tim Vilz aus Bonn, woran das liegt und was benötigt wird, um die Situation zu ändern.

Thoracic-Outlet-Syndrom nur in Ausnahmefällen operieren!

Das Thoracic-Outlet-Syndrom erfordert nur in ganz bestimmten Fällen ein operatives Vorgehen. Beim DCK wurde vor schwerwiegenden Komplikationen des anspruchsvollen Eingriffs gewarnt.
