However, it remains challenging because of the necessity to prevent long-term complications. The aim of this study was to analyze the evolution of transplanted patients with more than one year of follow up. Between November 1992 and November 2001, 238 patients underwent 264 liver transplantations. A total of 143 patients with more than one year of follow up were included. The median age of patients +/- SD was 5.41 years +/- 5.26 (r: 0.58-21.7 years). All children received primary immunosuppression with cyclosporine. The indications for liver replacement were: fulminant hepatic failure (n: 50), biliary atresia (n: 38), cirrhosis (n: 37), chronic cholestasis (n: 13) and miscellaneous (n: 5). The indications for liver re-transplantation were: biliary cirrhosis (n: 7), hepatic artery thrombosis (n: 4) and chronic rejection (n: 3). Reduced-size liver allografts were used in ...

Untreated baboons died after 9.2 +/- 4.0 SD days. When FK 506 was given orally for 90 days, survival with the optimum dose was 74.6 +/- 28.9 days; this allowed maximum credit for each individual animal of 90 days. A 3-day course of intramuscular FK 506 started on postoperative day 4 allowed 1- to 2-month survival. Delayed rejection in these baboons as well as in those treated daily for 90 days with FK could sometimes be reversed temporarily with a second 3-day course. The doses required for a good therapeutic effect were 10 times greater in baboons than in dogs, a finding that may reflect a species difference of lymphocyte sensitivity to this drug. FK appeared to be relatively nontoxic in subhuman primates, and it remains a promising drug for clinical trial.

Research paper thumbnail of Liver resection for noncolorectal nonneuro-endocrine hepatic metastases

There were 120 first, 14 second and 6 third liver resections. Primary tumors were: breast cancer (n = 34), leiomyosarcoma (n = 20), pancreatic cancer (n = 16), renal cell carcinoma (n = 13), melanoma (n = 9), gastric cancer (n = 9), lung cancer (n = 6) and adrenal cancer (n = 6) and miscellaneous tumors (n = 14). Extrahepatic tumor manifestation (including synchronous primary tumors) was found in 69/140 cases (49%); 61 of 120 patients with a first liver resection had extrahepatic tumor (51%). In the 120 first liver resections, 82 (68%) R0, 13 (11%) R1 and 25 (21%) R2 excisions were possible. Median survival after first liver resection was 20 months; after R0 resection a median survival of 28 months and after R1/2 resection of 8 months was achieved. The 5-year survival rate was 16% for the total group, 24% in patients with R0 resection and 0% for R1/2 resections. After a second liver resection (n = 14) there was a median survival of 28 months (5-year-survival-rate of 21%) for all patients and of 41 months (5-year survival rate 38%) after R0 resection. Morbidity and mortality after the first liver resection were 32.5% and 5.8%, respectively. In patients without extrahepatic tumor at the time of the first liver resection a median survival of 32 months (5-year survival rate 25%) and 7 months was achieved after R0 resection and R1/2 resection, respectively. In case of extrahepatic tumor the median survival was 24 months (5-year survival rate 23%) for R0 resection compared to 8 months after R1/2 resection. These data suggest that not the presence of extrahepatic tumor but rather the possibility of a R0 resection is most decisive for the prognosis after liver resection. We conclude that patients with liver metastases of non-colorectal, non-neuroendocrine tumors may benefit from liver resection. Similar to colorectal metastases, a second or third liver resection can be worthwhile in selected cases. Even in more unfavorable tumor entities, several cases of long-term survival were observed after surgical therapy. Therefore, the indication for liver resection should be considered carefully in every single case.

The construction of a surgical risk scale (ERQ) for pediatric surgery should be based on a common language, by using a small number of easy to collect and reproduce variables. The objectives of this study were to construct an ERQ for pediatric patients and to analyze the surgical performance. We retrospectively analyzed 105 primary surgical procedures under general anesthesia performed by liver transplantation service at Hospital Garrahan, between 29/6/08 and 25/3/10. Newborn patients were not considered. The ERQ was built by adding patient risk factors (PRL): weight (< o > 10 kg), co-morbidities (coagulopathy-obesity-diabetes) and life support; and the magnitude level of the surgical procedure (SPL): surgical time and requirement of blood transfusions. The surgical performance was considered as a relation bet...
