RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Situs inversus totalis is a rare anatomical variation of both the thoracic and the abdominal organs. Common bile duct strictures can be caused by malignant and benign diseases as well. 7-18% of the latter ones are 'malignant masquerade' cases, as pre-operative differentiation is difficult. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 68y male patient with known situs inversus totalis and a recent onset of obstructive jaundice caused by a malignant behaving common bile duct stricture. Technically difficult endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, brush cytology, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic ultrasound, and percutaneous transhepatic drainage with stent implantation were performed for proper diagnosis. Cholecystectomy, common bile duct resection with hilar lymphadenectomy, and hepatico-jejunostomy have been performed following multidisciplinary consultation. The final histology report did not confirm any clear malignancy, the patient is doing well. CONCLUSION: In situs inversus patients, both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures can lead to various difficulties. Benign biliary strictures are frequently misdiagnosed preoperatively as cholangiocellular carcinoma. Surgery is usually unavoidable, involving a significant risk of complications. The co-existence of these two difficult diagnostic and therapeutic features made our case challenging.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Post-transplantation portal hypertension has severe complications, such as esophageal varix bleeding, therapy refractory ascites, extreme splenomegaly, and graft dysfunction. The aim of our study was to analyze the effectiveness of the therapeutic strategies and how to visualize the procedure. METHODS: A retrospective study involving liver transplantation patients from the Semmelweis University Department of Transplantation and Surgery was performed between 2005 and 2015. The prevalence, etiology, and leading complications of the condition were determined. The applied interventions' effects on the patients' ascites volume, splenic volume, and the occurrence of variceal bleeding were determined. Mean portal blood flow velocity and congestion index values were calculated using Doppler ultrasonography. RESULTS: The prevalence of post-transplantation portal hypertension requiring intervention was 2.8%. The most common etiology of the disease was portal anastomotic stenosis. The most common complications were esophageal varix bleeding and therapy refractory ascites. The patients' ascites volume decreased significantly (2923.3 ± 1893.2 mL vs. 423.3 ± 634.3 mL; P < .05), their splenic volume decreased markedly. After the interventions, only one case of recurrent variceal bleeding was reported. The calculated Doppler parameters were altered in the opposite direction in cases of pre-hepatic versus intra- or post-hepatic portal hypertension. After the interventions, these parameters shifted towards the physiologic ranges. CONCLUSION: The interventions performed in our clinic were effective in most cases. The patients' ascites volume, splenic volume, and the prevalence of variceal bleeding decreased after the treatment. Doppler ultrasonography has proved to be a valuable imaging modality in the diagnosis and the follow-up of post-transplantation portal hypertension.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound combines the advantages of native ultrasound and other contrast-enhanced imaging modalities. In selected cases it can be preferable to computerized tomographic scan among kidney transplant recipients. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study involving patients of Semmelweis University Department of Transplantation and Surgery who underwent contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination from 2011 to 2015. During this period, 251 examinations were performed, including 45 on kidney transplant patients. A Toshiba Aplio XU ultrasound device was used, and 1-1.5 mL contrast agent (Sonovue) was administered intravenously for each patient. The indications of these evaluations can be divided into 3 groups: characterization of circumscribed kidney lesions, control after radiofrequency ablation therapy, and examination of graft perfusion. RESULTS: Fully 93% of the examinations were conclusive. In the 1st group of the 37 cases where tumor-suspect lesions were investigated, 13 examinations suggested the presence of a space-occupying lesion. Of those 13 cases, 2 patients had a negative biopsy, nephrectomy was performed in 11 cases, and histologic evaluation verified a tumor in 8 samples. In the 2nd group, the ablation control examination detected a residual tumor in none of the 6 cases. Finally, in 1 of the 2 grafts where the circulation was investigated, blood flow was satisfactory, and in the other it was low. CONCLUSIONS: The contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination was conclusive in most cases. The applied contrast material is not nephrotoxic, and the method uses nonionizing radiation. These features make contrast-enhanced ultrasound highly suitable for the examination of kidney transplant patients.

RESUMEN

Between March 2008 and March 2011, hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomles were performed on 70 patients. Following the first 26 cases undertaken based on guidelines in the literature, we modified the procedure to avoid barotrauma to the kidney caused by the usual 12-13 mm Hg CO(2) pneumoperitoneum or pneumoretroperitoneum. The perirenal CO(2) pressure, therefore, was decreased to 8 mm Hg from the beginning of the surgery; the operation was performed without using a handport. Our early experience with the modified technique suggested that the safety and duration of the procedure were not affected but the incidence of delayed graft function due to barotrauma was decreased, a cost-effective improvement.

RESUMEN

Among the several vascular variation those concerning the venous system of the kidneys show the most significant variability. They often play an important role when it comes to choosing the kidney to be removed for transplantation. Based on our prior studies, we have surveyed these variations. When performing a laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy owing to the limited field of vision and the restricted possibilities for preparation, preoperative radiologic planning is of utmost importance. We evaluated 55 donors who underwent laparoscopic nephrectomies using the 16-section multidetector-row computed tomography angiography. Among the donors who underwent surgeries we observed circumaortic veins (CAV) in three cases, retroaortic veins in 6 cases, multiple renal veins in 10 cases, and a lumbar vein draining into the left renal vein (RV) in 30 cases. In the 2 cases wherein CAVs were discovered, the team decided to use the other kidney. In 1 case, due to a short right RV, we chose the left kidney. The complex development of the CAV that is sometimes difficult to reconstruct in 3D poses a challenge for both the radiologist and the surgeon.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: The frequency of malignant tumors as a cause of death is increasing among kidney transplant patients. The aim of our study was to characterize kidney tumors occurring in the native kidneys of renal transplanted patients, and to determine their impact on recipient survival. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the 43/3003 (1.43%) renal cell carcinomas (RCC) in the native kidneys of patients transplanted between 1973 and 2010. RESULTS: During this period we diagnosed 293 posttransplant tumors, 14.6% of which were RCC. The male/female ratio was 2.1:1. The mean age of recipients at the time of tumor detection was 52.4 ± 12.1 years. The mean time from transplantation to diagnosis was 72.4 ± 61.6 months. RCC occurred on both sides in similar numbers. Tumors were multifocal in 8 cases. According to TNM staging, RCC was stage I in 38 cases. The histologic type was clear cell (n=27), papillary (n=13), chromophobe (n=2) or sarcomatoid (n=1). Radical nephrectomy was performed in 41 cases. Immunosuppressive management was converted to proliferation signal inhibitors in 27 patients (sirolimus n=19 or everolimus n=8). Fifteeen patients died at a mean survival time of 38.9 ± 62.4 months with 28 patients still alive at a mean follow-up 43.8 ± 35.6 months. Cumulative survival according to the Kaplan-Meier method was 79.2% at 1 year, 66.1% at 5 years, and 59.0% at 10 years. The patient survival rate was better among papillary than clear cell RCC (P=.038). CONCLUSION: RCC was the second most frequent tumor among kidney transplanted patients at our center. The diagnosis established at an early stage in the majority of cases, leading to favorable patient survivals. A regular yearly abdominal ultrasound screening is suggested for early tumor diagnosis.

RESUMEN

A key aspect in planning laparoscopic living-donor nephrectomy is mapping of vascular variations. Lumbar veins and early-branching renal arteries are of utmost importance. To date, 43 candidates including 18 men and 25 women aged 25 to 67 years have been examined at our clinic using 16-section multidetector-row computed tomography angiography. Each examination was double-checked by an experienced radiologist. Of the 43 patients, 31 underwent surgery. In 29 of 31 patients (93.5%), the anatomy observed during surgery was identical to that demonstrated on the preoperative computed tomography scan. In 1 of 2 patients, 2 separate arteries were found at surgery, rather than the prognosticated early-branching arteries. In this patient, conversion to open surgery was necessary. In the other patient, a lumbar vein running into a retroaortic renal vein was discovered. In this patient, a 6-mm length of the joint stem contained the wall of the aorta and the periaortic tissue; thus, technically they were of separate origins. Careful mapping of the anatomy helps to prevent unexpected operative complications that are difficult to manage. Correct interpretation of the data must always be based on agreement between the radiologist and the surgeon.
