A single-institution review of 157 patients presenting with benign and malignant tumors of the ampulla of Vater حسب Azar, Riad

"…For ampullary adenocarcinoma postoperative survival rates are rising. Recent series report 5-year postoperative survival rates of 53–68%.7 Successful endoscopic removal of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, in situ tumors, and focal T1 cancers has been reported, but is not widely practiced.8, 9 and 10 For patients with slow-growing benign tumors, endoscopic resection is an attractive alternative with decreased cost and morbidity.11 and 12 Endoscopic papillectomy has a recurrence rate of 30% with 13.9% of endoscopically treated patients subsequently undergoing follow-up surgery. …"

Total and segmental liver volume variations حسب Abdalla, Eddie

"…Liver volume is measured with CT before living-donor liver transplantation or major hepatic resection in patients with and without chronic liver disease.3., 4., 5., 6., 7., 8., 9. and 10. This reproducible, noninvasive procedure is necessary because significant interpatient variation is believed to exist in the relative contributions of the hepatic segments to TLV.11 CT volumetry accurately predicts TLV on the basis of body surface area or body weight,12 which may achieve the true goal of preoperative CT volumetry of the liver, that is to estimate the individual patient's hepatic metabolic demands after resection or transplantation.7 Complications associated with technical aspects of liver surgery are decreasing, and focus has concurrently shifted to analysis of postoperative complications after major hepatic resection and liver transplantation on the basis of liver remnant volume and graft volume.3., 4., 6., 7., 8. and 13. …"
