Does Multiple Bile Duct Anastomosis in Living Donor Liver Transplantation Affect the Postoperative Biliary Complications?
Arikan T.; Emek E.; Bozkurt B.; Mammadov E.; Ceyhan O.; Sahin T.; Tokat Y. (Elsevier USA, 2019)Purpose: The variation of multiple bile ducts in a living donor graft is not infrequent; however, the literature on the impact of the number of bile ducts on postoperative biliary complications is scarce. We investigated ... -
Experience in Liver Transplantation Due to Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis: A Single Center Experience
Purpose: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease of unknown origin. Although the course of PSC is variable, it frequently is progressive, leading to cirrhosis and requiring a liver ... -
Liver Graft Volume Estimation by Manual Volumetry and Software-Aided Interactive Volumetry: Which is Better?
Purpose: Estimation of graft volume is critical in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the accuracy of software-aided automated computer tomography (CT) volumetry in the preoperative ... -
