RESUMO
RESUMEN La enfermedad de Caroli es un trastorno congénito causado por malformación de la placa ductal. Se manifiesta con litiasis intrahepática y colangitis recurrente, habitualmente en personas jóvenes. Los hallazgos imagenológicos incluyen dilatación multifocal y segmentaria de los conductos biliares intrahepáticos. El colangiocarcinoma puede aparecer como complicación a largo plazo debido a la inflamación crónica de los conductos, por lo que debe estar siempre presente dentro de los posibles diagnósticos diferenciales. Se describe el caso infrecuente de una mujer de 52 años que presentó un cuadro de obstrucción biliar poscolecistectomía laparoscópica y requirió en su tratamiento quirúrgico la resección de los segmentos hepáticos II y III por enfermedad de Caroli, con buena evolución.
ABSTRACT Caroli's disease is a congenital disorder caused by a defect of the ductal plate. The clinical picture includes intrahepatic duct lithiasis and recurrent cholangitis usually in young people. The imaging tests reveal the presence of multifocal and segmental dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts. Cholangiocarcinoma can develop as a long-term complication of chronic bile duct inflammation and should always be considered as a differential diagnosis. We describe a rare case of a 52-year-old woman who presented with bile duct obstruction after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and required resection of liver segments II and III due to Caroli's disease with a favorable outcome.
RESUMO
Acetaminophen is a commonly used analgesic and antipyretic drug, which has experienced an increase in its consumption in recent years in our environment. There has also been an increase in the number of accidental and intentional overdoses that were treated by the health system. Its toxicity is dose-dependent and can cause fulminant liver failure, becoming one of the main reasons for liver transplantation in English-speaking countries. The case of a 28-year-old woman with a history of major depression and five previous suicide attempts, who deliberately ingested a significant amount of paracetamol tablets, is here presented. She developed fulminant liver failure and metabolic acidosis, for which she underwent an emergency liver transplant due to the severity of her condition, from which she evolved favorably. The decision to perform a liver transplant in serious cases like this and under a condition of severe psychiatric vulnerability is challenging and must be carefully considered. This particular case illustrates the importance of multidisciplinary care including psychiatric evaluation in patients with acetaminophen poisoning.
El paracetamol es una droga analgésica y antipirética comúnmente utilizada, que ha experimentado un aumento en su consumo en los últimos años en nuestro medio. También se ha observado un incremento en el número de sobredosis accidentales e intencionales que fueron atendidas por el sistema de salud. Su toxicidad es dosis dependiente y puede causar falla hepática fulminante, convirtiéndose en una de las principales razones de trasplante hepático en países angloparlantes. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 28 años con antecedentes de depresión mayor y cinco intentos de suicidio previos, quien ingirió deliberadamente una cantidad significativa de comprimidos de paracetamol. Desarrolló una falla hepática fulminante y acidosis metabólica, por lo que fue sometida a un trasplante hepático de emergencia debido a la gravedad de su condición evolucionando favorablemente. La decisión de realizar un trasplante hepático en casos graves como este y bajo una condición de vulnerabilidad psiquiátrica grave, es un desafío y debe considerarse cuidadosamente. Este caso en particular ilustra la importancia de la atención multidisciplinaria incluyendo la evaluación psiquiátrica en pacientes con intoxicación por paracetamol.

We present the case of forty-four-year-old woman with autosomal dominant Polycystic liver disease (PLD) without kidney disease diagnosed for 18 years ago. She experienced progressive abdominal distension and malnutrition over the previous twelve months. The patient had no other comorbidities. Physical examination revealed an 8 cm hepatomegaly in the right hypochondrium region. Liver function analysis was normal. CT scan showed multiple liver cysts with smooth and regular walls, predominantly in the right lobe which was considered as type III according to Gigot´s classification. Due to the significant hepatomegaly, conventional surgery was performed. Exploration showed multiple cysts of varying sizes on the liver surface, with diffuse involvement of the right hemiliver. Standard right lobe mobilization was technically not possible. Fenestration was performed in dominant superficial cysts, to allow access to the deeper cysts and liver parenchyma. A right hepatectomy was carried up using ultrasound devices and ultrasonic aspirator. And the biggest cysts located in the surface of left hepatic lobe were surgically unroofed. No surgical complications occurred, and the patient was discharged 5 days after the intervention.
RESUMO
RESUMEN El colangiocarcinoma es una neoplasia infrecuente que, debido a su localización anatómica, plantea una dificultad técnica para su resolución quirúrgica. La cirugía en el colangiocarcinoma perihiliar sigue siendo el único tratamiento curativo con el que se consiguen las mejores tasas de supervivencia a los 5 años. La invasión de la vena porta conlleva la necesidad de asociar una resección portal y su correspondiente reconstrucción. Sin embargo, la invasión tumoral de la vena porta es, en la mayoría de los casos, un hallazgo intraoperatorio, por lo que es importante contar con opciones para eventuales reconstrucciones vasculares. A continuación presentamos un caso de resolución quirúrgica de colangiocarcinoma perihiliar con identificación intraoperatoria de compromiso portal.
ABSTRACT Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare neoplasm and a difficult challenge for the surgeon because of its anatomic location. Surgery remains the only curative option for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma with the best survival rates at 5 years. Portal vein invasion requires portal vein resection and its corresponding reconstruction. However, as portal vein invasion is an intraoperative finding in most cases it is important to count with options for in case vascular reconstructions are needed. We report a case of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma successfully treated with surgery with portal vein invasion identified intraoperatively.
RESUMO
INTRODUCCIÓN: La escasez de donantes para suplir la demanda de trasplantes es un problema Mundial. "Hígados que nadie quiere" (HNQ) define injertos que fueron rechazados numerosas veces por varios centros antes de su aceptación. OBJETIVO: evaluar los resultados en la utilización de "HNQ" en nuestro centro. Fuente de datos CRESI-SINTRA y una base prospectiva, Periodo 2013-2016. MÉTODOS: Estudio retrospectivo, dos grupos pre-determinados: 1. Pacientes que recibieron un órgano más allá del percentilo 75 de mediana de rechazos 2. Resto de los receptores. RESULTADOS: Se realizaron 1325 trasplantes a nivel nacional, con una mediana de rechazos previos al implante de 5 (IQR3-11). 153 fueron realizados en el HEC y la mediana de rechazos fue de 7 (IQR3-18); 55/36% de esos injertos mas allá de p75, ninguno fue usado para falla fulminante. Comparando 1 vs 2 (55 vs 72), no hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la edad (51 años IQR45-60 vs 50 años IQR39-59 p=0.53), incidencia de falla primaria del injerto (RR 0.65 IC95%0.33-1.32 p=0.19), extubacion temprana (RR 1.16 IC95%0.43-3.16p=0.78),o diálisis (RR 1.36 IC95%0.84-2.21 p=0.26); tampoco en la duración de estadía en UTI (4 días IQR3-6 vs 5 días IQR 3-9 p=0.12) u hospitalaria (8 días IQR 6-14 vs 1.5 días IQR 8-17.5 p=0.06), sobrevida del injerto (p=0.51) y del paciente (p=0.59). El MELD del receptor fue la única diferencia (24 IQR22-25 vs 28 IQR25-33 p<0.05: Un tercio de la población de nuestro centro recibió "HNQ" (injertos rechazados previamente 12 veces), con similares resultados. Futuras investigaciones deberían determinar la causa de esos rechazos.
INTRODUCTION: Donor scarcity to supply the demand for transplants is a global problem. "Livers that nobody wants" (LNW) are those grafts that were refused by several centers multiple times before being accepted. OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the results in the use of "LNW" in our center. Data source: CRESI-SINTRA and a prospective database, period 2013-2016. METHODS: Retrospective study in two predetermined groups: 1. Patients who received an organ beyond the 75th percentile of median rejections 2. The rest of recipients. RESULTS: At national level, 1325 transplantations were made, its median refusals prior to implantation being 5 (IQR3-11), of which 153 were made in the HEC and the median refusals were 7 (IQR3-18); out of 55/36% of these grafts beyond the 75th p, none were used in fulminant hepatic failure. In comparing 1 vs 2 groups (55 vs 72), there were no statistically significant differences in age (51 years IQR45-60 vs 50 years IQR39-59 p=0.53), incidence ofdraft primary failure (RR 0.65 IC95%0.33-1.32 p=0.19), early extubation (RR 1.16 IC95%0.43- 3.16p=0.78),or dialysis requirement (RR 1.36 IC95%0.84-2.21 p=0.26); there were no differences either in the ICU stay (4 days IQR3-6 vs 5 days IQR 3-9 p=0.12) or in hospital stay(8 days IQR 6-14 vs 1.5 days IQR 8-17.5 p=0.06), draft survival (p=0.51) and patient survival (p=0.59). The only difference was in the MELD score of the receptor (24 IQR22-25 vs 28 IQR25-33 p<0.05:). A third of the population in our center received LNW (drafts previously refused 12 times) and showed similar results. The cause of these refusals should be determined by future research.

INTRODUCTION: Surgery is the treatment of choice for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCC). Obtaining tumor-free margins (RO resection) has been reported as the only prognostic factor associated with increased survival. The aim of this study was to analyze a consecutive series of patients operated with curative intent over a 14-year period. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study of patients operated with curative intent between 1994 and 2008. Hepatic resection was associated with resection of segment 1, extrahepatic bile duct and lymph node dissection in all cases. RESULTS: 40 patients, 62% male with a mean age of 58.2 years. Jaundice was the most common presenting symptom (70%). Biliary confluence was compromised in 62% oftumors. Thirty-nine patients underwent major hepatectomy with 95% RO resections and 6 associated vascular resections. Postoperative morbidity was 37.5% and mortality 10%. Overall survival and disease-free survival at 1, 3 and 5 years was 88% and 63%, 55% and 34%, and 43% and 24%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The association of major hepatectomy with caudate lobe resection and vascular resection when needed, was associated with 95% tumor-free margin and morbidity and mortality rate according to the standards of the international literature. While it is necessary a greater number of cases, associated vascular resection seems to be a feasible and safe option in the treatment of locally advanced HCC.
