RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Biportal endoscopic spine surgery independently controls two hands, similar to microscopic surgery, and utilizes a broader working space that is not disturbed by retractors under clear-magnified endoscopic vision. These advantages facilitate successful neural decompression and safe transforaminal interbody fusion, even in patients with thoracic spondylotic myelopathy. METHODS: A wide laminectomy and precise total facetectomy, in conjunction with partial pediculotomy, establish a secure transforaminal space for cage insertion. Endplate preparation and cage insertion were performed without retracting the spinal cord under direct endoscopic vision. CONCLUSION: Biportal endoscopic transforaminal thoracic interbody fusion can be a feasible technique for treating thoracic spondylotic myelopathy at the thoracolumbar junction levels.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUNDS: The anatomy of the left hepatic vein (LHV) is variable; thus, it should be considered for graft hepatic vein (GHV) venoplasty for left lateral section (LLS) and left liver grafts. This study assessed the incidence of superficial LHV (sLHV) branches according to LHV anatomy and its usability for GHV venoplasty in pediatric liver transplantation (LT). METHODS: This study consisted of three parts: (1) anatomical classification of LHV variations and the incidence of sLHV branches; (2) morphometric simulative analysis of GHV reconstruction and (3) clinical application based on LHV anatomy. RESULTS: The LHV anatomy of 248 potential LLS graft donors was classified into four types according to the number and location of GHV openings: one single opening (type 1; n = 186 [75.0%]), two large openings (type 2; n = 35 [14.1%]), one large and one small adjacent opening (type 3; n = 14 [5.6%]), and two large widely-separated openings (type 4; n = 13 [5.2%]). An sLHV branch was identified in 87 of 248 (35.1%) donor livers. Morphometric analysis of simulative GHV venoplasty with an sLHV branch increased GHV diameters by 30% in type 1 LLS grafts and 20% in type 2/3 LLS grafts. An analysis of 50 consecutive patients who underwent pediatric LT showed that the 2-year rates of GHV obstruction were 2.0% with LLS grafts and 0% with left liver grafts. CONCLUSIONS: The GHV orifice can be enlarged through LHV anatomy-based unification venoplasty. Unification venoplasty with an sLHV branch provided sufficient enlargement of the GHV orifice.

RESUMEN

The orifice size of the LHV trunk in LLS grafts is often too small for direct anastomosis. Several methods were developed to enlarge the graft and recipient hepatic vein orifices. This study described our surgical techniques to secure hepatic vein reconstruction in infant recipients and analyzed the patency outcomes. Twelve infants undergoing pediatric LDLT were selected during 2-year study period between January 2018 and December 2019. Surgical techniques and vascular complications of graft hepatic vein outflow were analyzed. The mean recipient age was 12.5 ± 4.5 months; mean body weight was 9.4 ± 1.0 Kg; and mean graft-recipient weight ratio was 2.8 ± 0.6%. Primary diseases were biliary atresia in six patients, metabolic diseases in two, hepatoblastoma in two, and acute liver failure in two. Eight LLS grafts were recovered through an open method, and four LLS grafts were recovered through a laparoscopic method. A small superficial LHV branch was present in five of 12 LLS grafts, which was opened to widen the graft hepatic vein orifice. Incision-and-patch venoplasty was performed in 10, unification venoplasty in 1 and no venoplasty in 1. All four LLS grafts recovered through a laparoscopic approach required circumferential vein patch because of very short hepatic vein stump. No patient experienced graft hepatic vein-associated vascular complications during the follow-up period of 19.3 ± 9.3 months. Our surgical techniques with incision-and-patch venoplasty for LLS grafts is beneficial to reduce the risk of hepatic vein outflow obstruction in recipients receiving LLS grafts.

RESUMEN

In liver transplantation, a left lateral section (LLS) graft may have an unusual variant left hepatic vein (LHV) anatomy. This study was designed to analyze the incidence of unusual LHV variants and to determine technical methods for effective reconstruction in infant recipients weighing approximately 10 kg or less. The study comprised 3 parts: an LHV variation analysis, a simulation-based design for the technical modification of graft LHV venoplasty, and its clinical application. The LHV anatomy of 300 potential LLS graft donors was classified into 4 types according to the number and location of the hepatic vein openings: (1) a single opening (n = 218 or 72.7%); (2) 2 large adjacent openings (n = 29 or 9.7%); (3) 2 adjacent openings, 1 large and 1 small (n = 34 or 11.3%); and (4) 2 widely spaced openings (n = 19 or 6.3%). Types 2 and 3 required wedged unification venoplasty, and type 4 required additional vein interposition. In a series of 49 cases using LLS grafts, the graft hepatic vein complication rate was 4.5% at 3 years; stenting was necessary for 1 of the 36 type 1 LHV grafts (2.8%) and for 1 of the 13 type 2-4 LHV grafts (7.7%, P = 0.46). A customized interposition-wedged unification venoplasty technique for coping with type 4 vein variations was developed with a simulation-based approach, and it was successfully applied to a 10-month-old male infant receiving an LLS graft with a type 4 LHV. In conclusion, nearly all LHV variations can be effectively managed with customized unification venoplasty. These venoplasty techniques represent beneficial surgical options as part of graft standardization for hepatic vein reconstruction in pediatric living donor liver transplantation.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUNDS/AIMS: Infant-to-infant whole liver transplantation (I2I-WLT) has been rarely performed in Korea. We analyze clinical sequences of our 7 cases of I2I-WLT and present evolution of surgical techniques to prevent PV stenosis. METHODS: A total of 7 cases of I2I-WLT were performed at our institution during last 13 years, which represented 0.1% of our LT volume. Patient perioperative profiles and clinical sequences were analyzed with focusing on portal vein (PV) complications. RESULTS: Donor ages were 6-17 months and graft weights were 140-525 g. Recipient ages were 7-16 months and body weights were 6-10.1 kg and Primary diagnoses were biliary atresia in 6 and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis in 1. The first case underwent PV stenting 2 months after I2I-WLT, and underwent retransplantation 6 years later. The second case underwent intraoperative PV stenting, but died 32 days later. The third case underwent repeated PV dilatation. The fourth, fifth and seventh cases experienced no surgical complications, and PV reconstruction was performed using a side-to-side unification venoplasty technique. The sixth case had poor development of the PV system, so customized PV venoplasty was performed, but PV occlusion requiring PV stenting occurred. Early retransplantation was performed, but scanty PV flow was detected despite no obvious PV stenosis, resulting in graft failure. Serious PV complications developed in 4, but none experienced after adoption of side-to-side unification venoplasty. CONCLUSIONS: As PV size in infant donors and recipients is very small, PV reconstruction in I2I-WLT requires specialized surgical techniques of side-to-side unification venoplasty.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to reinterpret the neurodevelopmental prognostic factors that are associated with birth head injury by performing a long-term follow-up. METHODS: Seventy-three neonates with head injuries were retrospectively analyzed after a duration of 10.0±7.3 years to determine the correlations between perinatal factors, including gender, head circumference, gestational age, body weight, and mode of delivery, and head injury factors from radiologic imaging with social, fine motor, language, and motor developmental quotients. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant difference between perinatal factors and head injury factors with respect to head circumference, body weight, gestational age, mode of delivery, Apgar scores at 1 min, cephalohematoma, subdural hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and hypoxic injury, but no direct correlation by regression analysis was observed between perinatal factors and developmental quotients. Of the head injury factors, falx hemorrhage showed a significant indirect relationship with the language and motor developmental quotients. Mode of delivery, subgaleal hematoma, cephalohematoma, greenstick skull fracture, epidural hemorrhage (EDH), tentorial hemorrhage, brain swelling, and hypoxic injury showed an indirect relationship with social development. CONCLUSION: In terms of perinatal factors and head injury factors, mode of delivery, subgaleal hematoma, cephalohematoma, greenstick skull fracture, EDH, tentorial hemorrhage, falx hemorrhage, brain swelling, and hypoxic injury displayed an indirect relationship with long-term development, and therefore these factors require particular attention for perinatal care.
