View clinical trials related to Liver Damage.
Filter by:The frequency of laparoscopic bariatric surgery is increasing day by day. In these surgeries, the liver masses are also found to be significantly larger due to the high Body Mass Index scores. It is known that the application of a diet called liver shrinkage protein diet which is applied preoperatively is a method that contributes to the comfort of the surgeon during surgery by reducing the size of the liver. The large size of the liver narrows the field of view of the surgeon in operation and decreases the comfort of surgery. One of the most important points that the surgeon must solve during surgery is the exclusion of the left lobe of the liver. The most commonly used types of liver retractors today; Nathanson retractor, Snowden-Window retractor, Snake retractor, Fan retractor, LIvac retractor and many other retractors. Some of these retractors require an additional incision under xiphoid, which may lead to an injury risk. The installation of these retractors also increases the operation time and requires additional time. Numerous studies have shown that retractors, which are used to rule out liver left lobe during surgery, cause liver damage. However, in order to reveal His angle in the esophageal-gastric composition, hepatic left lobe exclusion is mandatory. Therefore, it is necessary to determine and use the retractor type which causes the least damage between the liver retractors. In our study, it was aimed to reveal three types of liver retractors in our hospital in different cases and to reveal the type of trocar that causes the least amount of liver damage.
This prospective randomized study aims to determine the influence of the use of local hemostatic on the incidence of local complications derived from the edge of transection: biliary fistula or bleeding, after scheduled hepatic resection.
Collect the details about hepatic dysfunctional patients induced by various etiology who have a usage of Glycyrrhizic Acid, then arrange and analyse the data to evaluate the clinical curative effect of glycyrrhizic acid.
This is a study comparing a technique of continuous circulation to the liver as a means of preventing liver damage during transportation to the transplant hospital. This new technique of Machine Perfusion (MP) will be compared to the standard technique where the liver is maintained in a bag of solution on ice without circulation. The investigators will evaluate and compare the outcomes of the transplants with the new technique to the standard technique. There will be 24 MP patient's in the study. The investigators have previously used this technique with success in 20 human liver transplant patients. The investigators think there will be a benefit in terms of less damage to and better function of the donor liver which will result in faster recovery for the patients. This protective effect may allow us to successfully transplant more patients and prevent people from dying while waiting for a liver transplant.
