Purpose The aims of this study were to assess the risk of early recurrence after liver resection
for colorectal metastases (CRLM) and its prognostic value; identify early recurrence …

Background. In our experience, correction of coagulation defects with plasma transfusion
does not decrease the need for intraoperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusions during liver …

Background Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) has been associated with major blood
loss and the need for blood product transfusions. During the last decade, improved surgical …

Purpose To evaluate the performance, agreement, and efficiency of a fully convolutional
network (FCN) for liver lesion detection and segmentation at CT examinations in patients with …

Background The liver-first approach in patients with synchronous colorectal liver metastases
(CRLM) has gained wide consensus but its role is still to be clarified. We aimed to elucidate …

Objective: This study aims to validate a previously reported recurrence clinical risk score (CRS).
Summary of Background Data: Salvage transplantation after hepatocellular carcinoma (…

Background. Orthotopic liver transplantation has been traditionally associated with major
blood loss and the need for allogenic blood product transfusions. In recent years, …

Motilin is an intestinal peptide that stimulates contraction of gut smooth muscle. The motilin
receptor has not been cloned yet, but motilin-receptor agonists appear to be potent prokinetic …

Background Liver volumetry is a critical component of safe hepatic surgery, in order to minimize
the risk of postoperative liver failure. Liver volumes can be calculated routinely using the …

Objective The purpose of this work was to compare measured and estimated volumetry prior
to liver resection. Methods Data for consecutive patients submitted to major liver resection …
