Öğe Acinetobacter Infection in a Liver Transplantation Intensive Care Unit(Elsevier Science Inc, 2013) Otan, E.; Aydin, C.; Usta, S.; Kutluturk, K.; Kayaalp, C.; Yilmaz, S.Objective. Despite the advances in surgical technique and postoperative care, infectious complications are associated with high mortality rates. Acinetobacter species are emerging as a leading worldwide nosocomial pathogen in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. This study was designed to evaluate the results of the patients who developed Acinetobacter infection in the ICU after liver transplantation. Methods. We retrospectively analyzed 220 patients who had undergone liver transplantation between August 2011 and August 2012. Among the 55 positive culture results with clinical signs of infection, Acinetobacter was the single infectious agent for 10 of them, who were included in the study. Results. The mean age of the patients was 43.1 +/- 11.79 years with a male dominance (70%, n = 7). Eighty percent of the patients underwent living donor liver transplantations (n = 8). Mean Model for End-stage Liver Disease score was 28.5 +/- 14.99. Graft dysfunction was present in 50% (n = 5), all of whom had a history of preoperative hospitalization (100%, n = 10). Forty percent (n = 4) of patients had a history of diabetes mellitus and 60% were subject to extended mechanical ventilation. Mean platelet count was 20.32 +/- 8.1 x 10(9)/mL. The majority of the patients had multiple culture-positive sites (90%, n = 9). Positive culture results for Acinetobacter species included bloodstream (n = 8), drain fluid (n = 5), sputum (n = 3), paracenthesis material (n = 3), and catheter (n = 1). The mean period of postoperative positive culture results was 12.7 +/- 9.5 days. Mortality was 90% (n = 9). Conclusion. Acinetobacter infections in the ICU after liver transplantation were asociated with a high mortality presenting with thrombocytopenia.Öğe Biliary Complications in 106 Consecutive Duct-to-Duct Biliary Reconstruction in Right-Lobe Living Donor Liver Transplantation Performed in 1 Year in a Single Center: A New Surgical Technique(Elsevier Science Inc, 2011) Kirimlioglu, V.; Tatli, F.; Ince, V.; Aydin, C.; Ersan, V.; Ara, C.; Aladag, M.Objective. Biliary complications remain a major source of morbidity after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Of 109 consecutive right lobe (RL)-LDLTs performed in 1 year in our institution, we present the biliary complications among 106 patients who underwent a new duct-to-duct anastomosis technique known as University of Inonu. Methods. Of 153 liver transplantations performed in 1 year from January to December of 2008, 128 were LDLTs including 109 RL-LDLTs. The others were left or left lateral grafts. All RL-LDLT patients were adults, all of whom except three included a duct-to-duct anastomosis. Results. All, but three, biliary reconstructions were completed with a surgical technique, so called UI, in which 6-0 prolene sutures were used. Nine bile leaks were seen in 106 recipients (8.49%) performed in a duct-to-duct fashion in a time period of 1 to 4 weeks. Seventeen patients (16.03%) posed bile duct stricture (BDS). Five patients had both. Although endoscopic stent placement and percutaneous balloon dilatation, 4 patients continued to suffer from BDS on whom a permanent access hepatico-jejunostomy (PAHJ) procedures were performed. Conclusion. We recommend a duct-to-duct biliary reconstruction because of its de facto advantages over other types of anastomosis provided the native duct is not diseased. After almost 2 years, the bile tract complication rate was 22.64%.Öğe Circumferential Fence With the Use of Polyethylene Terephthalate (Dacron) Vascular Graft for All-in-One Hepatic Venous Reconstruction in Right-Lobe Living-Donor Liver Transplantation(Elsevier Science Inc, 2015) Ara, C.; Akbulut, S.; Ince, V.; Aydin, C.; Gonultas, F.; Kayaalp, C.; Unal, B.Integration of hepatic vein tributaries with a diameter >= 5 mm into the drainage system in right-lobe living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is of vital importance for graft function. Recently, the most commonly emphasized hepatic venous reconstruction model is the all-in-one reconstruction model. In the final stage of this model that aims to form a common large opening, allogeneic vascular grafts are almost always used to construct a circumferential fence. To date, no other study has reported the use of polyethylene terephthalate (Dacron) vascular graft as a circumferential fence in LDLT. We aimed to present the 1st 4 cases of circumferential fences created with Dacron vascular graft. Four right-lobe grafts weighing 522-1,040 g were used. A polytetrafluoroethylene vascular graft was used for the integration of segment 5 vein and segment 8 vein into the drainage model, whereas a Dacron graft was used to creating a circumferential fence. The patency of hepatic outflow evaluated with the use of multi-detector computerized tomography at postoperative day 7. Venous outflow obstruction was not detected in any cases. This study suggested that owing to its flexible structure the polyethylene terephthalate vascular graft can be an alternative to allogeneic vascular grafts in forming circumferential fence.Öğe Comparison of Harmonic Scalpel Versus Conventional Knot Tying for Transection of Short Hepatic Veins at Liver Transplantation: Prospective Randomized Study(Elsevier Science Inc, 2012) Olmez, A.; Karabulut, K.; Aydin, C.; Kayaalp, C.; Yilmaz, S.The objective of this study was to compare harmonic scalpel for short hepatic vein transection with conventional ligation during recipient hepatectomy with caval preservation. Sixteen patients undergoing elective living donor liver transplantation were randomized into 2 groups. We recorded number, diameter, and location of each short hepatic vein, procedure time, central venous pressure, and degree of liver failure (Child-Pugh and Model for End stage Liver Disease scores). As an end point, we observed the intraoperalive and postoperative bleeding rates of the transected veins. We transected 144 veins of mean diameter of 2.6 +/- 1.8 mm (range, 1-12 mm). Mean number of short hepatic veins in each person was 9 (range, 5-16). Harmonic scalpel was safe for veins with a diameter <= 2 mm; these veins were more prone to bleeding with conventional ligation. Bleeding rate was higher after ligation of veins in the upper half than the lower half of the cava (37% vs 21%; P = .04). Both total and per vessel procedure time did not differ between the groups. No postoperative bleeding complications occurred. Transection of veins with a diameter <= 2 mm by harmonic scalpel was as safe as conventional ligation. Harmonic scalpel transection of small hepatic veins (<= 2 mm) can be even safer than conventional control by knot tying, particularly in narrow areas.Öğe Comparison of Plasmapheresis and Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System Efficacy in Graft Failure After Living Donor Liver Transplantation(Elsevier Science Inc, 2013) Ince, V.; Aydin, C.; Otan, E.; Karabulut, K.; Koc, S.; Kayaalp, C.; Yilmaz, S.Introduction. Liver transplantation may result in graft failure, requiring time and supportive treatment for regeneration of the graft. The aim of this study was to compare the laboratory parameter changes after single-session molecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS) and plasmapheresis procedures among living donor liver transplantation patients experiencing graft failure. Patients and Method. We analyzed retrospectively the results in 45 liver transplantation patients treated with plasmapheresis and/or MARS between June 2011 and July 2012: (plasmapheresis, n = 17; MARS, n = 15; MARS + plasmapheresis, n = 13). When cadaveric donor cases (n = 11) were excluded, the remaining 34 included patients, underwent. MARS (n = 18) or plasmapheresis (n = 16) at the first session. Findings. Both groups were similar in age, sex, and body mass index features. The MARS group displayed significantly higher levels of international normalized ratio, blood urea nitrogen, and Model for End-stage Liver Disease score. The plasmapheresis cohort, displayed significantly higher levels of initial direct bilirubin and gamma glutamyl transferase (P < .05). The plasmapheresis group showed a significant decrease in GGT after treatment (P < .05). Results. An initial MARS session provided significantly greater decrease in renal function associated with graft failure after living donor liver transplantation.Öğe A descriptive analysis of 188 liver transplant patient visits to an Emergency Department(Verduci Publisher, 2012) Turtay, M. G.; Oguzturk, H.; Aydin, C.; Colak, C.; Isik, B.; Yilmaz, S.Background: The aim of the study is to seek the causes of application, the demographic and clinical characteristics of liver transplant patients and to share the experiences of our Emergency Department. Materials and Methods: One hundred eighty-eight Emergency Department visits of ninety patients who underwent liver transplant operations between 2002 and 2009 were evaluated retrospectively. Results: The patients applied to the Emergency Department with the complaints of fever 28.2% and abdominal pain 30.9%. It was detected that the final diagnosis of 52.4% of the patient visits was associated with the gastrointestinal system. It was observed that the most common treatment was drug therapy by 45.2% and that antibiotics treatment was the most applied method in drug treatment. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) median value of hospitalized patients (45.5 U/L) is significantly higher than that of discharged patients (35 U/L) (p = 0.04). From the records of the patients, positive correlations between the length of hospitalization and levels of total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, ALT and fever during the visit were detected (p = 0.001, p < 0.001, p = 0.01, p = 0.01, respectively). Conclusions: Most frequently liver transplant recipients visited the Emergency Departments with the complaints of fever and abdominal pain. The diagnosis was generally associated with gastrointestinal system disorders. The percentage of hospitalization was high and the length of stay at the hospital was long. The treatment of these patients required a multidisciplinary approach and antibiotics constituted the most used drug treatment. Also, fever and liver function tests examined at the time of admittance to the Emergency Department affected the length of hospitalization.Öğe Early Hepatic Artery Thrombosis After Pediatric Living Donor Liver Transplantation(Elsevier Science Inc, 2019) Kutluturk, K.; Sahin, T. T.; Karakas, S.; Unal, B.; Bag, H. G. Gozukara; Akbulut, S.; Aydin, C.Aim. Hepatic artery thrombosis is one of the major complications affecting patient and graft survival after liver transplantation. In this study, we analyzed the factors affecting the development of early hepatic artery thrombosis (eHAT) and its outcomes in pediatric liver transplantation. Methods. A total of 175 pediatric patients underwent living donor liver transplantation between January 2013 and November 2018. Factors affecting eHAT and its outcomes were examined. Results. Nine patients (5.1%) developed eHAT. In multivariate analysis, intraoperative hepatic artery revision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy biliary reconstruction type were statistically significant (all, P < .05). Thrombectomy and reanastomosis was performed in 5 patients. Two of them were successful. In total, 3 retransplantations were performed and all of those patients are still alive. Conclusion. The factors affecting eHAT are still a matter of debate. Intraoperative hepatic artery anastomosis revision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy reconstruction were independent risk factors for development of eHAT. In the present study, the confidence interval of the variables is high, therefore exact determination of the risk factors may not be possible. Early detection and thrombectomy and reanastomosis may be the first treatment of choice to rescue the patient and graft. When it fails, retransplantation must be an alternative. The results of the present study state that at least once a day the vascular anastomosis must be examined by Doppler ultrasonography in the post-transplant first week. It must be repeated when liver enzymes increase. The patients under high risk for eHAT may be followed up closer.Öğe Fistulisation of pyogenic liver abscess into the portal vein and bile ducts(Singapore Medical Assoc, 2011) Aydin, C.; Kayaalp, C.; Kutlu, R.; Yilmaz, S.We report pyogenic liver abscess complicated by fistulisation into the portal vein and bile ducts in a 58-year-old diabetic woman, who was admitted to the hospital with fever, chills and rigors. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography demonstrated a 7-cm multiloculated abscess in segment III, close to the left branch of the portal vein. The abscess was drained under fluoroscopic guidance in a single pass. Pus was aspirated, and diluted water-soluble contrast was injected into the cavity. Early films revealed filling of the cavity. Later, the contrast appeared in the bile ducts and left branch of the portal vein. Radiological intervention was discontinued. Immediate surgery, including left lateral segmentectomy, was performed. The preoperative course was uneventful, except for superficial surgical site infection. We opine that a hepato-venous fistula is an indication for surgical intervention, and that early resection of the fistula can prevent severe septic complications.Öğe Gastric Plication for Obesity: A Systematic Review(Springer, 2013) Kayaalp, C.; Gozeneli, O.; Aydin, C.[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Hepatic Artery Thrombosis-Related Risk Factors After Living Donor Liver Transplantation: Single-Center Experience From Turkey(Elsevier Science Inc, 2013) Unal, B.; Gonultas, F.; Aydin, C.; Otan, E.; Kayaalp, C.; Yilmaz, S.Aim. The purpose of this retrospective study is to evaluate the risk factors hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in a consecutive series from a single center. Materials and Methods. Between January 2010 and May 2012, we performed 278 living donor liver transplantations, including 189 males and 89 females. We compared the risk factors between HAT and non-HAT groups according to the following variables: age, gender, body mass index (BMI), graft weight, use of graft, Child-Pugh and model for end stage liver disease score, level of hemoglobin, blood pressure, operation time, blood transfusion, presence of ascites, international normalized ratio (INR) level, and etiology. Results. Eighteen patients, including 15 males and 3 female, had HAT after the operation (mean age, 45.1 years; age range, 22-60 years). There were no pediatric patients in the HAT group. HAT rate was 6.5% in our series. Graft loss and retransplantation due to HAT was 38.7% in a 2-year period. Biliary leakage was observed in 72 (25.8%) living donor liver transplantations; this rate was higher in patients with HAT (n = 8; 44.4%). The infection rate was 50% (n = 9) in the HAT group and was 32.7% (n = 91) in the non-HAT group. Mean INR value was 2.15 in the HAT group and 1.72 in the non-HAT group. When we compared the groups according to use of graft for anastomosis, biliary lekage, infection, and INR value, the differences were statistically significant (P < .05). Conclusion. Although the results of OLT have improved over the past years, HAT is still associated with substantial morbidity, high incidence of graft failure, and high mortality rates. The most important findings associated with HAT in our series were found as INR levels, bile leakage, and resistant infections. Use of vascular graft for hepatic artery anastomosis was found to increase HAT risk.Öğe Histopathologic Findings of Cholecystectomy Specimens in Patients Who Underwent Donor Hepatectomy for Living Donor Liver Transplantation(Elsevier Science Inc, 2015) Akbulut, S.; Karagul, S.; Ertugrul, I.; Aydin, C.; Yilmaz, M.; Yilmaz, S.Background. The aim of this study was to discuss the macroscopic and microscopic properties of gallbladder specimens obtained from living liver donors. Methods. The study retrospectively analyzed the clinical and histopathological data of 1088 donors who underwent living donor hepatectomy between March 2005 and September 2014 at Inonu University Faculty of Medicine, Liver Transplantation Center. Age, sex, macroscopic, and microscopic properties of the gallbladder (bladder length, diameter, content, and histopathological properties) were recorded by 2 researchers. Results. A total of 1009 donors aged 17 to 66 years (31.1 +/- 9.5) met the inclusion criteria, whereas 79 donors were excluded due to missing data. In total, 587 donors were male (30.5 +/- 9.1 years [16-63 years]) and 422 were female (31.8 +/- 9.8 years [18-66 years]). Preoperative tests revealed Gilbert syndrome in 3 subjects, whereas other donors' biochemical tests were within normal ranges. The macroscopic examination of gallbladders revealed mean gallbladder wall thickness, length, and width of 1.82 +/- 0.8 mm (1-10 mm), 72 +/- 11.4 mm (40-120 mm), and 52.5 +/- 14 mm (15-90 mm), respectively. The microscopic gallbladder examination showed that 740 donors had a normal gallbladder, 193 had chronic cholecystitis (1 donor had antral metaplasia and 1 had intestinal metaplasia), 40 had cholesterolosis (1 donor had both tubular adenoma and intestinal metaplasia), 15 had minimal chronic cholecystitis (1 donor had pyloric metaplasia), 14 had cholelithiasis, 2 had adenomyosis, 2 had muscular hypertrophy, 1 had papillary hyperplasia, 1 had microdiverticulitis, and 1 had mucosal lymphatic ectasia. Conclusion. The results of this study reflect the actual gallbladder pathologies that can be detected in healthy people. Clearer conclusions can be reached about the epidemiological data on gallbladder as the number of living liver donors increases in the future.Öğe The incidence and risk factors for persistent unconsciousness following liver transplantation for acute liver failure(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2019) Sarici, K. B.; Otan, E.; Ince, V; Sahin, T. T.; Karakas, S.; Saglam, K.; Aydin, C.[Abstract Not Available]Öğe INFECTIONS IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT FOLLOWING LIVER TRANSPLANTATION: PROFILE OF A SINGLE CENTER(Federal Research Center Transplantology & Artificial Organs V I Shumakov, 2013) Otan, E.; Usta, S.; Aydin, C.; Karakas, S.; Unal, B.; Mamedov, R.; Kayaalp, C.Introduction. Despite the advances in antibiotherapy and critical care management, infectious complications remain among the leading complications after liver transplantation related with mortality and morbidity. This study analysis the incidence and pattern of infections and possible prognostic factors of infectious complications retrospectively in a single center. Patients and Methods. Results of 30 consecutive patients with a primary liver transplantation history in a single center between August 2011 and August 2012 and a positive culture result in the first month in the ICU were analysed retrospectively. Results. During the first 1 month stay in the ICU postoperatively 30 (13,63%) patients had at least 1 infection. Total number of infections were 68. Mortality rate of the infected patients was 53,3% (n = 16). Among these infections, 25 (36,76%) of them were in deep surgical sites. Eighteen of the 30 patients (60%) were infected with a single microorganism. Eleven patients (36,66%) had a single infection episode. Microorganism were gram negative in 52 (76,47%) of the infections, gram positive in 14 (20,58%) of the infections, rest of the 2 (2,94%) infections were due to Candidiasis. Among the possible risk factors contributing to mortality, there was a statistically signifi cant difference (p < 0,001) between the platelet counts of the mortality and surviving groups of the patients. Conclusion. Infections are among the preventable risk factors for mortality and morbidity after liver transplantation. Our data reveals a signifi cant relation between trombocytopenia and mortality among the infected patients. Further studies focusing on this relation would expose the mechanisms and any possible contribution in clinical management of the patients.Öğe Living Donor Re-transplantation for Repeated Acute Liver Failure(Avicenna Organ Transplant Center, 2018) Ince, V.; Kayaalp, C.; Otan, E.; Ozdemir, F.; Dirican, A.; Toprak, H. I.; Aydin, C.Emergency liver transplantation (LT) for acute liver failure (ALF) is a life-saving treatment. Occurrence of this situation in the same patient twice is very rare. Herein, we describe a patient who underwent two emergency LTs for ALF, both from living donors. When she was 26 years old, she underwent a right lobe living donor LT (LDLT) from her sister for ALF due to use of herbal weight loss medications. The next 3 years were uneventful but another ALF developed during a terminal stage pregnancy (37th week). Despite medical treatment, her liver functions worsened, and the baby was delivered by caesarean section. The second time, her brother was the donor and she recovered after the emergency right lobe re-LDLT. Both patient and baby were well at the 2-month follow-up. As far as we know, there is no reported similar case, and we concluded that LDLT is a paramount treatment option for both primary and secondary ALFs.Öğe Postoperative Pulmonary Complications After Liver Transplantation: Assessment of Risk Factors for Mortality(Elsevier Science Inc, 2015) Aydin, C.; Otan, E.; Akbulut, S.; Karakas, S.; Kayaalp, C.; Karagul, S.; Colak, C.Background. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors related to mortality in liver transplant (LT) patients with post-transplantation pulmonary complications. Method. Patients who underwent liver transplantation in our clinic between January 2010 and January 2012 were retrospectively reviewed for post-transplantation pulmonary complications. Demographic, clinical, radiologic, and postoperative chart data of 153 patients with pulmonary complications were analyzed using an independent samples Student t test, Pearson's chi(2) test, Fisher's exact test, and Yate's corrected chi(2) test. Mortality was analyzed using a multiple logistic regression model. The best-fit breakpoint resulting in a cut-off value for the variables of interest was determined using ROC curves and the Youden index. Results. The 153 patients with pulmonary complication were divided into 2 groups: mortality (n = 53) and survival (n = 100). Univariate analyses showed significant differences between these 2 groups with respect to MELD score (P = .035), duration of mechanical ventilation (P>.001), pneumonia (P = .01), and endotracheal culture results (P = .001). In the multivariate analysis, hemoglobin (P = .03, odds ratio [OR]: 1.239), MELD score (P = .027, OR: 1.064), duration of mechanical ventilation (P = .003, OR: 1.091), and age (P = .042, OR: 1.001) were significant risk factors for mortality. The best-fit breakpoint analysis yielded cut-off values for hemoglobin (>11.2, sensitivity: 50.9%, specificity: 70%), MELD score (>16, sensitivity: 73.6%, specificity: 42%) and duration of mechanical ventilation (>3, sensitivity: 62.3%, specificity: 76%). Conclusion. Advanced age, high hemoglobin level, high MELD score, and long-term mechanical ventilation are significant risk factors for mortality in liver transplant patients with postoperative pulmonary complications.Öğe Preoperative staging of colon cancer patients: ultrasound can be a valuable alternative to computed tomography(Comenius Univ, 2011) Kayaalp, C.; Nessar, G.; Aydin, C.; Ulas, M.; Savkilioglu, M.; Atalay, F.Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the results of ultrasound and CT assessment in preoperative staging of colonic cancer, and to determine whether CT offers any benefits beyond ultrasound. Patients and methods: Sixty-one cases of intraperitoneal colon cancer were assessed by preoperative abdominal ultrasound and CT. The ultrasound and CT findings were assessed for ascites, hepatic and peritoneal metastases, invasion of adjacent organs, and findings of other diseases. Results: The sensitivity rates of CT for liver metastases, adjacent organ invasion, ascites and peritoneal metastases were 81 %, 25 %, 29 % and 20 % respectively, while those of ultrasound were 69 %, 6 %, 43 A and 0 %, respectively. Both methods had similar sensitivity, specificity and accuracy rates regarding the detection of all criteria. Ultrasound was more sensitive for detecting ascites and liver metastasis when compared to peritoneal metastasis and invasion (p<0.05). CT allowed the detection of liver metastasis to be more sensitive when compared to the other three criteria (p<0.05). In addition to ultrasound, CT gave no more additional knowledge indicating the necessity of altering the clinical management in patients. Conclussion: The first-line scanning technique should be the ultrasound and there is no need for CT scan, should no abnormalities be found upon ultrasound examination. CT investigation plays a role in cases where the ultrasound findings are suspicious (Tab. 1, Ref. 16).

Right-lobe living-donor liver transplantation (RLDLT) is an excellent option to reduce donor shortages for adult patients with acute liver failure (ALF). The aim of this study was to evaluate the etiologies and outcomes of 30 consecutive adult patients who underwent emergency RLDLT for ALP. Methods. Between January 2007 and September 2011, we examined data from medical records of patients with ALF who underwent RLDLT. Results. Their mean age was 32.2 +/- 13.05 years. The etiologies of ALP were acute hepatitis B (n = 11; 36.6%), hepatitis A (n = 4; 13.3%), drug intoxication (n = 4; 13.3%), pregnancy (n = 2; 6.7%), hepatitis B with pregnancy (n = 1; 3.3%), mushroom intoxication (n = 1; 3.3%), and unknown (n = 7; 23.3%). The mean hepatic coma grade (Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score) was 34.13 +/- 8.72. The 43 (48.7%) postoperative complications were minor (grades I-II) and 44 (51.3%) were major (grades III-V). Reoperation was required in 14 of 30 (47%) recipients (grades IIIb-IVa). Deaths occurred owing to pulmonary (n = 2), cardiac (n = 1), septic (n = 2), or encephalopathic (n = 4) complications. The mean durations of intensive care unit stay and postoperative hospitalization were 3.2 +/- 2.3 and 29.5 +/- 23 days, respectively. The survival rate was 70%. The mean follow-up duration was 305 days (range, 1-1582). Conclusion. Liver transplantation is potentially the only curative modality, markedly improving the prognosis of patients with ALP. The interval between ALF onset and death is short and crucial because of the rapid, progressive multiorgan failure. Thus, RLDLT should be considered to be a life-saving procedure for adult patients with ALF, requiring quicker access to a deceased-donor liver graft and a short ischemia time.Öğe The risk facotrs of mortality following liver transplantation in acute liver failure: Single center experience(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2019) Sahin, T.; Sarici, K.
