- Guidelines for the Treatment of Hepatocellular Adenoma in the Era of Molecular Biology: An Experience-Based Surgeons' Perspective(2021) HERMAN, Paulo; FONSECA, Gilton Marques; KRUGER, Jaime Arthur Pirola; JEISMANN, Vagner Birk; COELHO, Fabricio FerreiraBackground Hepatocellular adenoma (HA) is a rare benign liver tumor with increasing incidence affecting young women. In the last years, much has changed in diagnosis, classification, and treatment, due to the identification of different molecular subtypes. With the evolving knowledge, especially on molecular characteristics of the disease, we are far from a consensus of how to deal with such a multifaceted benign disease Methods In the last 20 years, we have treated 134 patients with HA with a mean age of 28 years, being 126 women. Fifty patients had a history of abdominal pain and 13 patients had an acute episode of pain due to rupture and bleeding. Until 2009, adenomas larger than 4 cm in diameter were resected, regardless of gender. From 2010 to 2016, only adenomas larger than 5 cm were referred for surgical treatment. Since 2016, resection was indicated in all female patients with non-steatotic adenomas larger than 5 cm and all adenomas in men. Results and Discussion One hundred twenty-four patients were submitted to resection, being in 21 major resections. Since 2010, 74% of resections were done laparoscopically. Patients with ruptured adenomas were treated with transarterial embolization. Morbidity rate was 8.1% with no mortality. Authors discuss point-by-point all the aspects and presentations of the disease and the best approach. We proposed a therapeutic guideline based on the best available evidence and in our experience. Conclusions Due to the complexity of the disease, the treatment of HA is one the best examples of an individualized approach.
- DOES THE DROP IN PORTAL PRESSURE AFTER ESOPHAGOGASTRIC DEVASCULARIZATION AND SPLENECTOMY INFLUENCE THE VARIATION OF VARICEAL CALIBERS AND THE REBLEEDING RATES IN SCHISTOSOMIASIS IN LATE FOLLOW-UP?(2021) SILVA-NETO, Walter de Biase; QUIRESE, Claudemiro; MOURA, Eduardo Guimaraes Horneaux de; COELHO, Fabricio Ferreira; HERMAN, PauloBackground: The treatment of choice for patients with schistosomiasis with previous episode of varices is bleeding esophagogastric devascularization and splenectomy (EGDS) in association with postoperative endoscopic therapy. However, studies have shown varices recurrence especially after long-term follow-up. Aim: To assess the impact on behavior of esophageal varices and bleeding recurrence after post-operative endoscopic treatment of patients submitted to EGDS. Methods: Thirty-six patients submitted to EGDS were followed for more than five years. They were divided into two groups, according to the portal pressure drop, more or less than 30%, and compared with the behavior of esophageal varices and the rate of bleeding recurrence. Results: A significant reduction on the early and late post-operative varices caliber when compared the pre-operative data was observed despite an increase in diameter during follow-up that was controlled by endoscopic therapy. Conclusion: The drop in portal pressure did not significantly influence the variation of variceal calibers when comparing pre-operative and early or late post-operative diameters. The comparison between the portal pressure drop and the rebleeding rates was also not significant.
- The impact of venous resection in pancreatoduodectomy A systematic review and meta-analysis(2021) PINHEIRO FILHO, Joao Emilio Lemos; TUSTUMI, Francisco; COELHO, Fabricio Ferreira; SILVEIRA JUNIOR, Sergio; HONORIO, Fernanda Cavalcanti Cabral; HENRIQUES, Alexandre Cruz; DIAS, Andre Roncon; WAISBERG, JaquesBackground: Vein resection pancreatoduodenectomy (VRPD) may be performed in selected pancreatic cancer patients. However, the main risks and benefits related to VRPD remain controversial. Objective: This review aimed to evaluate the risks and survival benefits that the VRPD may add when compared with standard pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing VRPD and PD were performed. Results: VRPD was associated with a higher risk for postoperative mortality (risk difference: -0.01; 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.02 to -0.00) and complications (risk difference: -0.05; 95% CI -0.09 to -0.01) than PD. The length of hospital stay was not different between the groups (mean difference [MD]: -0.65; 95% CI -2.11 to 0.81). In the VRPD, the operating time was 69 minutes higher on average (MD: -69.09; 95% CI -88.4 to -49.78), with a higher blood loss rate (MD: -314.04; 95% CI -423.86 to -195.22). In the overall survival evaluation, the hazard ratio for mortality during follow-up on the group of VRPD was higher compared to the PD group (hazard ratio: 1.13; 95% CI 1.03-1.23). Conclusion: VRPD is associated with a higher risk of short-term complications and mortality and a lower probability of survival than PD. Knowing the risks and potential benefits of surgery can help clinicians to properly manage pancreatic cancer patients with venous invasion. The decision for surgery with major venous resection should be shared with the patients after they are informed of the risks and prognosis.
- A Combined ""Hanging Liver Maneuver"" and ""Intrahepatic Extra-Glissonian Approach"" for Anatomical Right Hepatectomy: Technique Standardization, Results, and Correlation With Portal Pedicle Anatomy(2021) MAKDISSI, Fabio Ferrari; MATTOS, Bruno Vinicius Hortences de; KRUGER, Jaime Arthur Pirola; JEISMANN, Vagner Birk; COELHO, Fabricio Ferreira; HERMAN, PauloBackground: The hanging liver maneuver and intrahepatic extra-Glissonian approach are distinct modalities to facilitate safe anatomical liver resections. This study reports a standardized combination of these techniques focusing on safety, results and correlation with portal pedicle anatomy in oncological patients. Method: Combined hanging liver maneuver and intrahepatic extra-Glissonian approach for anatomic right hepatectomy was described stepwise. Portal pedicle anatomy was correlated with the Glissonian approach failure and complications. Clinical characteristics of patients, perioperative outcomes, short and long-term survival rates were analyzed. Results: Thirty colorectal liver metastases patients submitted to the combined approach were evaluated. Anatomical variations of the right portal pedicle were present in 26.6%. Hanging liver maneuver was feasible in 100%, and Glissonian approach in 96.7% despite portal pedicle variations. Mean operative time was 326 min. Mean blood loss was 507 ml. Mean hospital stay was 8 days. There was no 90-day operative mortality and no significant morbidity. Oncological surgical margins were free. Overall and disease-free 5-year survival were 59 and 37%. Conclusion: Regardless of frequent anatomical variations of the right portal pedicle, the hanging liver maneuver, and intrahepatic extra-Glissonian approach can be combined, being useful for anatomical right hepatectomies in a safe and reproducible way in most patients.
- PROTOCOL FOR LIVER TRANSPLANTATION IN HILAR CHOLANGIOCARCINOMA(2021) ERNANI, Lucas; MARTINO, Rodrigo Bronze de; ANDRAUS, Wellington; FERNANDES, Eduardo de Souza Martins; MELLO, Felipe Pedreira Tavares de; ANDRADE, Ronaldo; PIMENTEL, Leandro Savattone; HADDAD, Luciana Bertocco de Paiva; COELHO, Fabricio Ferreira; HERMAN, Paulo; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Augusto CarneiroBackground: Hilar cholangiocarcinoma represents more than half of all cholangiocarcinoma cases, having poor prognosis and presenting a median overall survival after diagnosis of 12-24 months. In patients who have unresectable tumors with a better prognosis, the proposal to perform liver transplantation emerged for expanding the possibility of free margins by performing total hepatectomy. Aim: To provide a Brazilian protocol for liver transplantation in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Method: The protocol was carried out by two Brazilian institutions which perform a large volume of resections and liver transplantations, based on the study carried out at the Mayo Clinic. The elaboration of the protocol was conducted in four stages. Result: A protocol proposal for this disease is presented, which needs to be validated for clinical use. Conclusion: The development of a liver transplantation protocol for cholangiocarcinoma aims not only to standardize the treatment, but also enable a better assessment of the surgical results in the future.
- Safety and effectiveness of mycophenolate mofetil associated with tacrolimus for liver transplantation immunosuppression: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials(2021) TUSTUMI, Francisco; MIRANDA NETO, Antonio Afonso de; SILVEIRA JUNIOR, Sergio; FERNANDES, Felipe Alexandre; SILVA, Miller Barreto de Brito e; ERNANI, Lucas; NACIF, Lucas Souto; COELHO, Fabricio Ferreira; ANDRAUS, Wellington; BERNARDO, Wanderley Marques; HERMAN, Paulo; CARNEIRO-D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz AugustoA combination of immunosuppressants may improve outcomes due to the synergistic effect of their different action mechanisms. Currently, there is no consensus regarding the best immunosuppressive protocol after liver transplantation. This review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tacrolimus associated with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in patients undergoing liver transplantation. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials. Eight randomized trials were included. The proportion of patients with at least one adverse event related to the immunosuppression scheme with tacrolimus associated with MMF was 39.9%. The tacrolimus with MMF immunosuppression regimen was superior in preventing acute cellular rejection compared with that of tacrolimus alone (risk difference [RD]=-0.11; p=0.001). The tacrolimus plus MMF regimen showed no difference in the risk of adverse events compared to that of tacrolimus alone (RD=0.7; p=0.66) and cyclosporine plus MMF (RD=-0.7; p=0.37). Patients undergoing liver transplantation who received tacrolimus plus MMF had similar adverse events when compared to patients receiving other evaluated immunosuppressive regimens and had a lower risk of acute rejection than those receiving in the monodrug tacrolimus regimen.

- Infiltrative Tumor Borders in Colorectal Liver Metastasis: Should We Enlarge Margin Size?(2021) JAYME, Vitoria Ramos; FONSECA, Gilton Marques; AMARAL, Isaac Massaud Amim; COELHO, Fabricio Ferreira; KRUGER, Jaime Arthur Pirola; JEISMANN, Vagner Birk; PINHEIRO, Rafael Soares Nunes; MELLO, Evandro Sobroza de; HERMAN, PauloBackground Surgery is the only potentially curative treatment for colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLMs). Despite an improvement in results following resection, recurrence rates remain high. Many histopathological features have been reported as prognostic factors. Infiltrative borders are known to be associated with worse prognosis; however, margin size has never been evaluated together with the type of tumor border. In the present study, we analyzed the prognosis of patients with resected CRLM according to tumor growth pattern (TGP) and whether a larger margin size would bring any prognostic benefit. Patients and Methods Medical records from a prospective database of 645 patients who underwent hepatic resection for CRLM between January 2004 and December 2019 at a single center were reviewed, and 266 patients were included in the analytic cohort. TGP (pushing or infiltrative) was evaluated regarding the impact in overall and disease-free survival. The impact of margin size (<= or > 1 cm) on survival and hepatic recurrence according to TGP was also evaluated. Results TGP was defined as infiltrative in 182 cases (68.4%) and pushing in 84 patients (31.6%). Patients with infiltrative-type border presented worse overall survival and disease-free survival, as well as higher intrahepatic recurrence (p < 0.05). Larger margin size did not impact the prognosis of patients with infiltrative borders. Conclusions Patients with infiltrative-type border present worse prognosis and higher intrahepatic recurrence. Larger margin size (> 1 cm) does not change the prognosis in patients with infiltrative border, showing that tumor biology is the most important factor for survival.
- LAPAROSCOPIC LIVER RESECTION FOR BENIGN TUMORS: THE CURRENT POSITION(2021) HERMAN, Paulo; FONSECA, Gilton Marques; KRUGER, Jaime Arthur Pirola; JEISMANN, Vagner Birk; COELHO, Fabricio FerreiraBACKGROUND: The main indications of the use of laparoscopic liver surgery (LLS), in the early days, were benign liver lesions. As LLS became more popular, indications for malignant diseases outnumbered those for benign ones. This study aims to rule out the indications and results of LLS for the treatment of benign liver tumors. METHODS: Out of 445 LLS performed in a single center, 100 (22.4%) were for benign tumors. The authors discuss the indications for resection and present their perioperative results. RESULTS: In total, 100 patients with benign tumors were evaluated. Specifically, these were as follows: 66 cases of hepatocellular adenomas; 14 cases of biliary mucinous neoplasm; 13 cases of focal nodular hyperplasia; 4 cases of angiomyolipomas; and 3 cases of hemangiomas with a mean size of 7.6 cm (ranging from 3.1 to 19.6 cm). The total morbidity rate was 19%, with 9% classified as Clavien-Dindo grades 3 or 4. No mortality was observed. CONCLUSION: LLS for benign liver tumors is safe and presents excellent results. However, indications for resection are increasingly restricted and should not be performed just because it is a minimally invasive procedure.
