Laparoscopic liver resection of segment seven: A case report and review of surgical techniques.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Laparoscopic liver resection of segment seven (LLR-S7) is a technically challenging procedure due to its anatomical location and difficult accessibility. Herein, we present our experience with LLR-S7, and demonstrate a literature review regarding surgical techniques.

Presentation of case

A 28-year-old female was diagnosed with rectosigmoid cancer and synchronous liver metastases at the segment three (S3) and S7, which were treated with laparoscopic procedure. After the completely mobilization of the right lobe, the Glissonean pedicle of S7 (G7) was intrahepatically transected. The right hepatic vein was exposed to identify the venous branch of S7 (V7). Finally the liver parenchyma between RHV and dissection line was divided.

Discussion

Various laparoscopic approaches for S7 have been reported including the Glissonian approach from the hilum, the intrahepatic Glissonean approach, the caudate lobe first approach, and the lateral approach from intercostal ports. To perform LLR-S7 safely, it is important to understand the advantage of each technique including the trocar placement and approaches to S7 by laparoscopy.

Conclusion

We present our experience of LLR-S7 for the tumor located at the top of S7, successfully performed with the intrahepatic Glissonean approach. LLR-S7 can be performed safely with advanced laparoscopic techniques and sufficient knowledge on various approaches for S7.

Laparoscopic resection of a primary diaphragmatic schwannoma: a case report and literature review.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Schwannomas are nerve sheath tumors that commonly originate from the stomach and small intestine. A primary schwannoma of the diaphragm is rare and does not show any symptoms until it grows to a certain size. Hence, it is extremely rare that it was found at a size that allowed resection under videoscopic surgery. CASE PRESENTATION:A 77-year-old woman was referred to our department for surgical treatment of a tumor located near the gastric fornix. She underwent a routine esophagogastroduodenoscopy 2 years and 7 months prior to the referral. It was suspected that she had a submucosal tumor measuring 10 mm, located in the fornix, and was then referred to her previous physician. During her follow-up, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) revealed that the cystic structure had continued to grow toward the gastric wall, and she was then referred to the endoscopy division of our hospital. She continued to be followed-up, and it was noted that the tumor was gradually increasing in size. Therefore, she requested surgical resection, and was finally referred to our division. Since the tumor was rather small, we planned a laparoscopic surgery. An initial examination during the operation revealed that the tumor was located on the left diaphragm. Since the tumor was relatively small and visibility was good, we decided to continue with the laparoscopic surgery. Partial diaphragmectomy with complete inclusion of the tumor was performed, and the defect of the diaphragm was directly closed by a running suture. Pathological examination revealed a benign schwannoma that had originated from the diaphragm. To support our findings, we also reviewed the scientific literature on diaphragmatic schwannoma cases reported up to April 2020. CONCLUSIONS:In this extremely rare case, we successfully resected the diaphragmatic schwannoma using laparoscopic surgery.

New surgical technique of laparoscopic resection of adenomyosis under real-time intraoperative ultrasound elastography guidance: A case report.

Project description:Detecting adenomyosis in the myometrium is a challenge since it is infiltrative with ill-defined margins and can be often confused with uterine fibroids. However, recent advances, such as ultrasound elastography, have enabled its detection in the myometrium, thereby facilitating its accurate diagnosis. We report our experience of performing complete laparoscopic resection of adenomyosis under real-time ultrasound elastography guidance in a 32-year-old woman who underwent laparoscopic adenomyomectomy following severe dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual bleeding. Real-time ultrasound elastography was also utilized intraoperatively to detect residual adenomyosis. Complete adenomyosis resection and uterine reconstruction were achieved. Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging was conducted to confirm successful uterine reconstruction. The patient recovered rapidly with no complications. Intraoperative elastography-guided laparoscopic adenomyomectomy was feasible and effective in completely removing adenomyotic lesions.

Laparoscopic resection of retroperitoneal intra-psoas muscle schwannoma: A case report and extensive literature review.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Soft tissue tumors of Schwann cells in either the peripheral or cranial nerves are known as schwannomas or also as neurilemmomas. Limited data exists regarding psoas muscle schwannoma in the literature. Therefore, we have done an extensive literature review and found a total number of 46 cases of intra-psoas schwannoma including our case, which are summarized in this article along with reporting our new case. PRESENTATION OF CASE:We report a very rare case of primary left intra-psoas muscle schwannoma in a 39-year-old Saudi gentleman, smoker with an unremarkable medical and surgical history. The patient presented to the emergency department with exacerbated chronic lower abdominal pain since almost 2 years. After conforming the diagnosis, the patient was admitted electively and underwent uneventful laparoscopic hand-assisted resection. DISCUSSION:Schwannomas are neurogenic tumors which known to be solitary, benign, well circumscribed, encapsulated, and slow-growing tumors. Multiple imaging modalities are used to detect such a tumor. Although there is no consensus on the best surgical approach, endoscopic mini-laparotomy, laparoscopy (anterior [as in our case] or lateral), and robotic resection were reported with good outcomes. CONCLUSION:Retroperitoneal schwannoma and intra-psoas muscle variant are a rare entity, with slow growing rate and risk of malignant transformation. Therefore, high index of suspicion, good follow-up, and large-cohort studies are encouraged.

Regional techniques for pain management following laparoscopic elective colonic resection: A systematic review.

Project description:IntroductionPain management is an integral part of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) following laparoscopic colonic resection. A variety of regional and neuraxial techniques were proposed, but their efficacy is still controversial. This systematic review evaluates published evidence on analgesic techniques and their impact on postoperative analgesia and recovery for laparoscopic colonic surgery patients.MethodsWe conducted bibliographic research on May 10, 2021, through PubMed, Cochrane database, and Google scholar. We retained meta-analysis and randomized clinical trials. We graded the strength of clinical data and subsequent recommendations according to the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine.ResultsTwelve studies were included. Thoracic epidural analgesia improved postoperative analgesia and bowel function following laparoscopic colectomy. However, it lengthens the hospital stay. Transversus abdominis plane block was as effective as thoracic epidural analgesia concerning pain control but with better postoperative recovery and lower length of hospital stay. Moreover, Lidocaine intravenous infusion improved postoperative pain management and recovery; Quadratus lumborum block provided similar postoperative analgesia and recovery. Finally, wound infiltration reduced postoperative pain without improving recovery of bowel function, and it could be proposed as an alternative to thoracic epidural analgesia.ConclusionsSeveral analgesic techniques have been investigated. We found that abdominal wall blocks were as effective as thoracic epidural analgesia for pain management but with lower hospital stay and better recovery. We registered this review on PROSPERO (ID: CRD42021279228).

Surgical resection of a giant pericardial cyst: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundPericardial cysts are rare congenital mediastinal cysts. They are typically asymptomatic and are often discovered incidentally, although some patients may present with chest pain and dyspnoea. Asymptomatic patients are managed conservatively with multiple modalities, with surgical resection often recommended for symptomatic patients only. The frequency of follow-up imaging has yet to be established.Case summaryWe report a case of a 59-year-old female with a gradually increasing pericardial cyst, first noted 10 years prior as an abnormal cardiac silhouette on routine chest radiography. Further evaluation confirmed the presence of a pericardial cyst compressing the left ventricle with new-onset atrial fibrillation. The patient underwent successful thoracoscopic excision of the pericardial cyst under general anaesthesia. The patient's post-operative course was uneventful, and she was ultimately discharged in stable condition.DiscussionPericardial cysts are typically benign, but complications may arise in the case of compression of adjacent cardiac structures, inflammation, haemorrhage, or rupture of the cyst. Magnetic resonance imaging is considered the better modality for both diagnosis and follow-up of pericardial cysts. This case illustrates the need for long-term clinical follow-up in order to optimize the time for treatment.

Robot-assisted laparoscopic repair of perineal hernia after abdominoperineal resection: A case report and review of the literature.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Perineal hernia is a protrusion of the pelvic floor containing intra-abdominal viscera. The occurrence of postoperative perineal hernia after abdominoperineal resection (APR) is rare, but reports have indicated a recent increase in occurrence following surgical treatment for rectal cancer. This has been attributed to a shift towards extralevator abdominoperineal resection, together with more frequent and long-term use of neoadjuvant therapy. PRESENTATION OF CASE:Here, we report the case of a patient who underwent APR for cancer. Twenty months postoperative, a perineal hernia was detected. The patient was electively scheduled for surgery. Robot-assisted laparoscopy was performed using the da Vinci Surgical System. The perineal hernia was repaired by primary closure with the placement of Symbotex Composite mesh as reinforcement for the pelvic floor. The surgery was performed without any adverse events, and the patient was discharged the day after surgery. Clinical follow-up proceeded at the designated time intervals without difficulties. DISCUSSION:Recurrence rates of perineal hernia remain high, and surgeons face numerous challenges related to poor view, suturing and mesh placement in the deep pelvis. Numerous approaches have been described, but there is still no consensus as to the optimal repair technique for perineal hernia. CONCLUSION:Symptomatic perineal hernias can feasibly be repaired with robot-assisted laparoscopy. Furthermore, suturing and mesh placement require less effort with the robot approach when compared to the open and laparoscopic approaches. These promising findings are demonstrated in the included video.

<i>Ex Vivo</i> Liver Resection and Autotransplantation as Surgical Option for Zone II-III Leiomyosarcoma of IVC: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:We report the first documented case of leiomyosarcoma at zone II-III of inferior vena cava with thrombi in three hepatic veins undergoing ex vivo liver resection and autotransplantation (ELRA) and hepatic veins thrombectomy. A 33-year-old female patient presented with abdominal distention and lower extremities edema. Abdominal wall varicosis and shifting dullness were positive on physical examination. Her liver function was classified as Child-Pugh B and a solid tumor at retro-hepatic vena cava extending to right atrium with thrombi in three hepatic veins were confirmed. The diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma with Budd-Chiari syndrome was highly suspected with preoperative ultrasound, echocardiogram, CT scan, and three-dimensional reconstruction. A zone II-III leiomyosarcoma of IVC origin was confirmed at surgery and ex vivo liver resection and autotransplantation, and hepatic vein thrombectomy with atrial reconstruction were performed under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Operative time, anhepatic time, and CPB time were 12 h, 128 min, and 84 min, respectively. The patients experienced post-operative liver dysfunction and was cured with conservative therapy. Hepatic recurrence two years after surgery was managed with radiofrequency. The patient was alive with liver metastasis three years after surgery. Despite being regarded as an extremely aggressive procedure, ELRA could be considered in the treatment of advanced leiomyosarcoma with Budd-Chiari syndrome and hepatic vein thrombi.

Laparoscopic anatomic liver resection.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Liver resection is reputed to be one of the most difficult procedures embraced in laparoscopy. This report shows that with adequate training, anatomical liver resection including major hepatectomies can be performed. METHODS: This is a retrospective study. RESULTS: From 1995 to 2004, among 84 laparoscopic liver resections, 46 (54%) anatomical laparoscopic hepatectomies were performed in our institution by laparoscopy. Nine (20%) patients had benign disease while 37 (80%) had malignant lesions. Among those with malignant lesions, 14 patients had hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 18 had colorectal metastasis (CRM), while 5 had miscellaneous tumours. For benign disease, minor (two Couinaud's segments or less) and major anatomic hepatectomies were performed in five and four patients, respectively. For malignant lesions, minor and major anatomic hepatectomies were performed in 15 and 22 patients, respectively. Overall, conversion to laparotomy was necessary in 7 (15%) patients. Blood transfusion was required in five (10%) patients. One patient died of cerebral infarction 8 days after a massive peroperative haemorrhage. The overall morbidity rate was 34% whatever the type of resection. Three patients required reoperation, either for haemorrhage (n=1) and/or biliary leak (n=2). For CRM (n=18), overall and disease-free survival at 24 months (mean follow-up of 17 months) were 100% and 56%, respectively. For HCC (n=14), overall and disease-free survival at 36 months (mean follow-up of 29 months) were 91% and 65%, respectively. No port site metastasis occurred in patients with malignancy. CONCLUSIONS: After a long training with limited liver resection in superficial segments, laparoscopic anatomical minor and major resections are feasible. Short-term carcinological results seem to be similar to those obtained with laparotomy.

Castleman's disease: Laparoscopic resection of unicentric disease in the hepatic hilum: A case report.

Project description:Introduction and importanceCastleman's disease was first reported by Benjamin Castleman et al., in 1954 and described it as a sporadic lymphoproliferative disorder. The pathophysiology to this day is still unknown, although IL-6 is suspected to play an important role. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging due to its non-specific symptoms, and that imaging cannot clearly distinguish the disease from other processes. High clinical awareness is necessary to reach a diagnosis. If the disease is localized, complete recovery can be achieved through surgery.Case presentationPatient is a 68-year-old woman with a three-month history of recurrent episodes of fever, myalgias, and night sweats. She started to experience lower abdominal pain and presented to the emergency room. A contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography revealed a 5 cm well-circumscribed focal heterogeneously enhancing hyperplastic mass between the portal vein and the inferior vena cava. After successful laparoscopic surgery, the mass was resected, and the patient fully recovered. Unicentric Castleman's disease was the final diagnosis.Discussion and conclusionCastleman's disease is an uncommon pathology with a challenging diagnosis. When approaching an abdominal mass, unicentric Castleman's disease should always be a differential diagnosis, as treatment can be curative with surgical resection. With the advent of laparoscopic and robotic surgery, these techniques can improve patients' outcomes in these rare pathologies, especially when they appear in complex regions.

Successful laparoscopic pheochromocytoma resection in an adult patient with Fontan physiology: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundPheochromocytoma is a rare tumour producing catecholamines and has been more frequently reported than expected in patients with a Fontan physiology.Case summaryThe patient was a 39-year-old woman born with a univentricular atrioventricular connection and pulmonary valve stenosis. A Fontan operation was performed when she was 22 years old. At the age of 38, she was diagnosed with pheochromocytoma. The most serious problem was the increased occurrence of supraventricular arrhythmias, which easily caused heart failure. We decided to perform a laparoscopic resection. Postoperative recovery was good. There were no findings of malignancy and all postoperative catecholamine levels normalized. She was discharged home on the 14th day after the surgery, walking unaided.DiscussionDiagnosis and treatment by tumour resection in the early phase are crucial in patients who undergo the Fontan procedure. However, patients after Fontan surgery have a very low cardiac reserve. Thus, the decision to perform a surgical treatment is a very difficult one to take. In this case, fenestration had been naturally closed. As fenestration provides a consistent source of systemic ventricular preload, we performed transcatheter fenestration dilatation to improve heart failure management before surgical pheochromocytoma removal. Although laparoscopic surgery is generally considered to be less invasive, pneumoperitoneum may interfere with venous return in Fontan physiology patients. There is also a risk of thrombosis via fenestration. Here, we reported the case of a successful laparoscopic pheochromocytoma resection in an adult Fontan patient.
