Description
Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers Techniques Of Liver Surgery by Vinay Kumaran MBBS MS M Ch
This book contains the first detailed description of the “W” technique. A safe and reproducible technique for performing the hepatic artery anastomosis in living donor liver transplantation.
Some of the cases depicted in the illustrations are intended to show what is possible in the hands of experienced HPB and transplant surgeons. There is a learning curve and the surgeon making initial forays into surgery of the liver should not take on complex vascular resections in the early years of their exploration of the field.
The book is written by experienced surgeons. It is a sort “Do it Yourself” for surgeons interested in liver surgery. A basic background of the diseases is provided and patient selection is discussed but most of the book is focussed on techniques. Each author takes up an operation and described is one that works for the author.
The operative photographs and illustrations clarify steps of surgery and illustrate difficult situations and way to deal with them. This book contains the first detailed description of the “W Technique”, a safe and easy technique for performing the hepatic artery anastomosis in living donor liver transplantation. This technique, first presented at the International Liver Transplantation Society Meeting in 2014, allows the anastomosis to be performed in a technically simple and reproducible manner even in the presence of considerable luminal disparity without the use of an operating microscope with one of the lowest incidences of hepatic arterial complications in the world.
