Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of a modified cuff insertion technique named “portal vein branch-sling” (PBS) method for portal vein (PV) anastomoses in rat liver transplantation.MethodsA total of 60 cases of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) using 2-cuff technique in rats were performed in our transplantation center.The PBS technique and conventional methods were used respectively in study and control groups.Time for PV anastomoses,anhepatic phase (AP) and surgery of recipients,successful rate for PV cuff insertion and operation were statistically compared between the different groups.Results35 cases of OLT using PBS technique in rats were assessed.The successful rate of PV cuff insertion was 94.3%,and the time of PV anastomoses using the modified PBS cuff insertion technique was only 1.9 ± 0.7min.The successful rate of operation was 80%with a 21.8±2.2min AP.The study group showed significant differences (P<0.05) compared with conventional group.The survival rate in the first week was 85.8% with no statistical difference (P>0.05).ConclusionsThe modified PBS cuff insertion technique for PV anastomoses of OLT has advantages in speed,safety and stabilization,and should be considered as one of the best available PV anastomosis technique for OLT in rats.
