This study highlights the role of intraoperative sonography (IOS) using a high-frequency transducer in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) with modified right-lobe grafts. IOS is pivotal for the real-time assessment of vascular patency and anastomotic integrity, providing crucial insights into hepatic artery, portal vein, and hepatic vein configurations. The technique's high spatial resolution allows for the early detection of potential vascular complications, which are significant predictors of postoperative outcomes. Through detailed illustrations of vascular anastomoses and hemodynamics, this article discusses technical and anatomical considerations of IOS and demonstrates its effectiveness in screening and managing vascular complications in LDLT, thereby enhancing surgical precision and patient safety.
本研究强调了在采用改良右叶移植物的活体肝移植(LDLT)中使用高频探头进行术中超声检查(IOS)的作用。IOS对于实时评估血管通畅性和吻合完整性至关重要,能为肝动脉、门静脉和肝静脉的形态提供关键见解。该技术的高空间分辨率有助于早期发现潜在的血管并发症,而这些并发症是术后结果的重要预测指标。通过对血管吻合和血流动力学的详细图示,本文讨论了IOS的技术和解剖学考量,并展示了其在筛查和处理LDLT血管并发症方面的有效性,从而提高手术精度和患者安全性。
