- Living donor liver transplantation in children: Should the adult donor be operated on by an adult or pediatric surgeon? Experience of a single pediatric center(2014) ANDRADE, Wagner de Castro; VELHOTE, Manoel Carlos Prieto; AYOUB, Ali Ahman; SILVA, Marcos Marques; GIBELLI, Nelson Elias M.; TANNURI, Ana Cristina A.; SANTOS, Maria Merces; PINHO-APEZZATO, Maria Lucia; BARROS, Fabio de; MOREIRA, Daniel Rangel; MIYATANI, Helena T.; PEREIRA, Raimundo Renato; TANNURI, UenisBackground/Purpose: Living donor liver transplantation has become a cornerstone for the treatment of children with end-stage hepatic dysfunction, especially within populations or countries with low rates of organ utilization from deceased donors. The objective is to report our experience with 185 living donors operated on by a team pediatric surgeons in a tertiary center for pediatric liver transplantation. Methods: Retrospective analysis of medical records of donors of hepatic grafts for transplant undergoing surgery between June 1998 and March 2013. Results: Over the last 14 years, 185 liver transplants were performed in pediatric recipients of grafts from living donors. Among the donors, 166 left lateral segments (89.7%), 18 left lobes without the caudate lobe (9.7%) and 1 right lobe (0.5%) were harvested. The donor age ranged from 16 to 53 years, and the weight ranged from 47 to 106 kg. In 10 donors, an additional graft of the donor inferior mesenteric vein was harvested to substitute for a hypoplastic recipient portal vein. The transfusion of blood products was required in 15 donors (8.1%). The mean hospital stay was 5 days. No deaths occurred, but complications were identified in 23 patients (12.4%): 9 patients experienced abdominal pain and severe gastrointestinal symptoms and 3 patients required reoperations. Eight donors presented with minor bile leaks that were treated conservatively, and 3 patients developed extra-peritoneal infections (1 wound collection, 1 phlebitis and 1 pneumonia). Eight grafts (4.3%) showed primary dysfunction resulting in recipient death (3 cases of fulminant hepatitis, 1 patient with metabolic disease, 1 patient with Alagille syndrome and 3 cases of biliary atresia in infants under 1 year old). There was no relation between donor complications and primary graft dysfunction (P = 0.6). Conclusions: Living donor transplantation is safe for the donor and presents a low morbidity. The donor surgery may be performed by a team of trained pediatric surgeons.
bookPart Anomalias da diferenciação sexual(2020) ANDRADE, Wagner de Castro- Living Related Donor Liver Transplantation in Children(2011) TANNURI, A. C. A.; GIBELLI, N. E. M.; RICARDI, L. R. S.; SANTOS, M. M.; MAKSOUD-FILHO, J. G.; PINHO-APEZZATO, M. L.; SILVA, M. M.; VELHOTE, M. C. P.; AYOUB, A. A. R.; ANDRADE, W. C.; LEAL, A. J.; MIYATANI, H. T.; TANNURI, U.Objective. The objective of this study was to report our experience with pediatric orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) with living related donors. Methods. We performed a retrospective chart analysis of 121 living related donor liver transplantations (LRDLT) from June 1998 to June 2010. Results. Indications were biliary atresia (BA; n = 81), primary sclerosing cholangitis (n = 5), alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (n = 4); cholestasis (n = 9), fulminant hepatic failure (n = 8), autoimmune hepatitis (n = 2), Alagille syndrome (n = 4), hepatoblastoma (n = 3), tyrosinemia (n = 2), and congenital hepatic fibrosis (n = 3). The age of the recipients ranged from 7-174 months (median, 22) and the weights ranged from 6-58 kg (median, 10). Forty-nine children (40.5%) weighed <= 10 kg. The grafts included the left lateral segment (n = 108), the left lobe (n = 12), and the right lobe (n = 1). The donors included 71 mothers, 45 fathers, 2 uncles, 1 grandmother, 1 grandfather, and 1 sister with a median age of 29 years (range, 16-53 ys) and a median weight of 68 kg (range, 47-106). Sixteen patients (12.9%) required retransplantation, most commonly due to hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT; n = 13; 10.7%). The other complications were biliary stenosis (n = 25; 20.6%), portal vein thrombosis (PVT; n = 11; 9.1%), portal vein stenosis (n = 5; 4.1%), hepatic vein stenosis (n = 6; 4.9%), and lymphoproliferative disorders (n = 8; 6.6%). The ultimate survival rate of recipients was 90.3% after 1 year and 75.8% after 3 years. Causes of early death within 1 month were HAT (n = 6), PVT (n = 2), severe graft dysfunction (n = 1), sepsis (n = 1), and intraoperative death in children with acute liver failure (n = 2). Causes of late deaths included lymphoproliferative disease (n = 3), chronic rejection (n = 2), biliary complications (n = 3), and recurrent disease (n = 3; hepatoblastoma and primary sclerosing cholangitis). Conclusions. Despite the heightened possibility of complications (mainly vascular), LRDLT represented a good alternative to transplantation from cadaveric donors in pediatric populations. It was associated with a high survival ratio.
- Rex Shunt for Acute Portal Vein Thrombosis After Pediatric Liver Transplantation in Children With Biliary Atresia(2011) GIBELLI, N. E. M.; TANNURI, A. C. A.; TANNURI, U.; SANTOS, M. M.; PINHO-APEZZATO, M. L.; MAKSOUD-FILHO, J. G.; VELHOTE, M. C. P.; AYOUB, A. A. R.; SILVA, M. M.; ANDRADE, W. C.Background/Purpose. Posttransplantation portal vein thrombosis (PVT) can have severe health consequences, and portal hypertension and other consequences of the long-term privation of portal inflow to the graft may be hazardous, especially in young children. The Rex shunt has been used successfully to treat PVT patients since 1998. In 2007, we started to perform this surgery in patients with idiopathic PVT and late posttransplantation PVT. Herein we have reported our experience with this technique in acute posttransplantation PVT. Methods. Three patients of ages 12, 15, and 18 months underwent cadaveric (n = 1) or living donor (n = 2) orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). All patients had biliary atresia with portal vein hypoplasia; they developed acute PVT on the first postoperative day. They underwent a mesenteric-portal surgical shunt (Rex shunt) using a left internal jugular vein autograft (n = 2) or cadaveric iliac vein graft (n = 1) on the first postoperative day. Results. The 8-month follow-up has confirmed shunt patency by postoperative Doppler ultrasound. There have been no biliary complications to date. Conclusions. The mesenteric-portal shunt (Rex shunt) using an autograft of the left internal jugular or a cadaveric vein graft should be considered for children with acute PVT after OLT. These children usually have small portal veins; reanastomosis is often unsuccessful. In addition, this technique has the advantage to avoid manipulation of the hepatic hilum and biliary anastomosis. Although this study was based on a limited experience, we concluded that this technique is feasible, with great benefits to and low risks for these patients.
- Transmission of clear cell tumor in a graft liver from cadaveric donor: Case report(2012) BACKES, Ariane N.; TANNURI, Ana Cristina A.; MELLO, Evandro Sobroza de; GIBELLI, Nelson Elias M.; ANDRADE, Wagner de Castro; TANNURI, UenisNeoplasms in children after organ transplantation are related to the type and intensity of immunosuppression and the donorrecipient serostatus, especially in relation to the EpsteinBarr virus. The patient was a two-yr-old female child with biliary atresia who underwent a liver transplantation from a female cadaver donor. Two adults received kidney transplants from the same donor. Nine months after transplantation, one of the adult recipients developed an urothelial tumor in the kidney graft. Imaging tests were repeated monthly in the liver-transplanted child and revealed no abnormalities. However, one yr and two months after the transplantation, the patient developed episodes of fever. At that time, imaging and liver biopsy showed a clear cell tumor of urothelial origin in the graft and the disease was limited to the liver. The patient underwent liver retransplantation, and she is currently free of tumor recurrence. Although rare, the occurrence of tumors in the post-transplant period from cadaver donors, without previously diagnosed tumors, is one of the many problems encountered in the complex world of organ transplantation.
bookPart Abdome agudo na criança(2019) ANDRADE, Wagner de Castro- Effects of the administration of pentoxifylline and prednisolone on the evolution of portal fibrogenesis secondary to biliary obstruction in growing animals: immunohistochemical analysis of the expression of TGF-BETA; and VEGF(2012) ANDRADE, Wagner de Castro; SILVA, Luiz Fernando Ferraz da; COELHO, Maria Cecilia de Mendonca; TANNURI, Ana Cristina Aoun; ALVES, Venancio Avancini Ferreira; TANNURI, UenisOBJECTIVE: During the neonatal and infancy periods, some chronic liver diseases may lead to progressive hepatic fibrosis, which is a condition that can ultimately result in the loss of organ function and severe portal hypertension necessitating hepatic transplantation. In a previous report, pharmacological interventions were demonstrated to modulate hepatic fibrosis induced by bile duct ligation in young rats. The administration of pentoxifylline or prednisolone, or the combination of both, resulted in reduced fibrogenesis in portal spaces. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the expression of transforming growth factor beta and vascular endothelial growth factor after bile duct ligation in young rats and to assess the effect of those same drugs on cytokine expression. METHODS: In this experimental study, 80 young rats (21 or 22 days old) were submitted either to laparotomy and common bile duct ligation or to sham surgery. The animals were allocated into four groups according to surgical procedure, and the following treatments were administered: (1) common bile duct ligation + distilled water, (2) sham surgery + distilled water, (3) common bile duct ligation + pentoxifylline, or (4) common bile duct ligation + prednisolone. After 30 days, a hepatic fragment was collected from each animal for immunohistochemical analysis using monoclonal antibodies against transforming growth factor beta and vascular endothelial growth factor. Digital morphometric and statistical analyses were performed. RESULTS: The administration of pentoxifylline reduced the transforming growth factor beta-marked area and the amount of transforming growth factor beta expressed in liver tissue. This effect was not observed after the administration of prednisolone. There was a significant reduction in vascular endothelial growth factor expression after the administration of either drug compared with the non-treatment group. CONCLUSIONS: The administration of pentoxifylline to cholestatic young rats resulted in the diminished expression of transforming growth factor beta and vascular endothelial growth factor in liver tissue. The administration of steroids resulted in the diminished expression of vascular endothelial growth factor only. These pathways may be involved in hepatic fibrogenesis in young rats submitted to bile duct ligation and exposed to pentoxifylline or prednisolone.
- REX SHUNT FOR ACUTE PORTAL VEIN THROMBOSIS AFTER PEDIATRIC LIVER TRANSPLANT IN CHILDREN WITH BILIARY ATRESIA(2013) GIBELLI, Nelson Elias Mendes; ANDRADE, Wagner de Castro; VELHOTE, Manoel Carlos Prieto; AYOUB, Ali Abdul Rahman; SILVA, Marcos Marques da; PINHO-APEZZATO, Maria Lucia de; TANNURI, Ana Cristina Aoun; BARROS, Fabio de; RICARDI, Luis Roberto Schlaich; MOREIRA, Daniel de Albuquerque Rangel; MIYATANI, Helena Thie; PEREIRA, Paulo Renato Alencar; TANNURI, UenisBACKGROUND/PURPOSE: zPost transplant portal vein thrombosis (PVT)can be extremely disastrous, and portal hypertension and other consequences of the long term privation of portal inflow to the graft may be hazardous, especially in the very young children. Since 1998, Rex shunt has been used successfully to treat these patients. In 2007 we started to perform this surgery in patients with idiopathic PVT and late post transplant PVT. We report our experience with this technique in acute post transplant PVT. METHODS: Case report of six patients (age–12–18 months) submitted to cadaveric (1) and living donor (5) liver transplant (LT). All patients had biliary atresia with portal vein hipoplasia and developed acute portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in the first post-operative day. They were submitted to a mesenteric-portal surgical shunt (Rex shunt) with left internal jugular vein autograft (5) and cadaveric iliac vein graft (1) in the first post-operative day. RESULTS: Current follow-up of 12 months. Postoperative Doppler ultrasounds confirmed shunt patency. There were no biliary complications until now. CONCLUSION: The mesenteric-portal shunt (Rex shunt) with left internal jugular vein autograft should be considered in children with acute PVT after liver transplantation. These children usually have small portal veins, and reanastomosis is often unsuccessful. In addition, this technique has the advantage that we do not manipulate the biliary anastomosis and the hepatic hilum, thus avoiding biliary complications. Although this is an initial experience, we conclude that this technique is feasible, with great benefits for these patients and with low risks.
- Videocirurgia na criança: estado da arte. Experiência com 1408 procedimentos no Instituto da Criança "Pedro de Alcântara"(2012) VELHOTE, Manoel Carlos Prieto; TANNURI, Uenis; ANDRADE, Wagner de Castro; MAKSOUD FILHO, João Gilberto; APEZZATO, Maria Lucia do Pinho; TANNURI, Ana Cristina AounThe videosurgery in Pediatric Surgery has a large field of applications unfortunately still underexplored. There are few services that routinely use this techinic , and Brazilian articles published are scarce. The Institute of Children's Hospital of the Faculty of Medicine, University of São Paulo, has been using for fifteen years the videosurgery which is now the first choice of treatment, among other diseases as gastroesophageal reflux, the cholecystolithiasis, the nonpalpable undescended testicles and megaesophagus. In this article we report our experience in laparoscopic pediatric surgery, acquired with 1408 surgical procedures, to present this useful method, and beneficial to a large number of situations and still underused in Pediatric Surgery.
- Which is the best technique for hepatic venous reconstruction in pediatric living-donor liver transplantation? Experience from a single center(2011) TANNURI, Uenis; SANTOS, Maria M.; TANNURI, Ana Cristina A.; GIBELLI, Nelson E.; MOREIRA, Airton; CARNEVALE, Francisco C.; AYOUB, Ali A.; MAKSOUD-FILHO, Joao G.; ANDRADE, Wagner C.; VELHOTE, Manoel C. P.; SILVA, Marcos M.; PINHO-APEZZATO, Maria L.; MIYATANI, Helena T.; GUIMARAES, Raimundo R. N.Background/purpose: The introduction of the piggyback technique for reconstruction of the liver outflow in reduced-size liver transplants for pediatric patients has increased the incidence of hepatic venous outflow block (HVOB). Here, we proposed a new technique for hepatic venous reconstruction in pediatric living-donor liver transplantation. Methods: Three techniques were used: direct anastomosis of the orifice of the donor hepatic veins and the orifice of the recipient hepatic veins (group 1); triangular anastomosis after creating a wide triangular orifice in the recipient inferior vena cava at the confluence of all the hepatic veins (group 2); and a new technique, which is a wide longitudinal anastomosis performed at the anterior wall of the inferior vena cava (group 3). Results: In groups 1 and 2, the incidences of HVOB were 27.7% and 5.7%, respectively. In group 3, no patient presented HVOB (P = .001). No difference was noted between groups 2 and 3. Conclusions: Hepatic venous reconstruction in pediatric living-donor liver transplantation must be preferentially performed by using a wide longitudinal incision at the anterior wall of the recipient inferior vena cava. As an alternative technique, triangulation of the recipient inferior vena cava, including the orifices of the 3 hepatic veins, may be used.
