Thelessonhereisthatarterialbleedingfromaliverinjurycannot easilybefixedbypackingalone.
Thatistrueandthereforemanycentersroutinelyperformangiographyandembolization—as
needed—inallpatientsundergoingperihepaticpacking.However,perihepaticpackingusually
stops bleeding from low pressure venous injuries and is the preferred method especially for surgeonsnotexperiencedinliversurgery.Andthekeyisalways:packearly!Ari
In complex liver injuries,suture ligationof thebleeding source is the key to achieving a good outcome for patients. Similarly, resectional debridement minimizes the amount of necrotic liver tissue that might serve as a source of bile leaks and infections. Packing liver injuries
frequently serves as damage control in patients who are hypothermicand coagulopathic. It isnotamistaketo then get the surgeonswhohavethemostexperiencewithliversurgeryinvolved inre-exploration.Orshipout!
Bleedingthatyoucannotstopbypackingandsutureligationisrarein livertrauma; however,itdoes occur. Thereisa commonmisconception that the hepatic artery may be ligated when bleeding does not stop; I have even heard chief residents teach thisto their juniors. Historically, occlusion of the common hepatic artery has been described, because collateral flow is maintained throughthe gastroduodenal artery, thereby bleedingcanbeslowedorstoppedwithoutcompletelyabolishingarterial inflow. This sounds great in theory but every time I have seen the
commonhepaticarteryinjuredandnotreconstructed,theoutcome wasdismal.
Herearesomegeneralrulesaboutthevascularsupplyoftheliver intrauma:
Vascular inflow into the liver cannot be occluded with impunity in trauma,neitherontheportalvenous,noronthearterialside.
Completeocclusionofthecommonhepaticarterymaywellresultin postoperative liver failure, intrahepatic cholangiopathy, cholangitis andabscesses.
Completeandsuddenocclusionofportalvenousflowwillresultin massivelivernecrosiswithhemodynamicinstabilityandsepsis.
Indesperatesituations,theportalveincanbeligatedtostopmassivebleeding,butithasabout a50%mortalityrate.Ari
Penetratinglivertrauma
Penetrating liver trauma occurs because the liver is the largest parenchymatousorganandislocatedinthemid-portionofthetorsoinan area which is frequently targeted. Injuries to the parenchyma are only problematic when high-velocity missiles are involved due to the large amountofenergydepositedandtheensuingcavitywithalotofnecrosis.
Usually packing as immediate damage control, hemodynamic resuscitationandthenresectionaldebridementarethewaytogo.
Resectionaldebridementisseldomneeded—mostlyinhigh-velocitygunshotwounds.Ari
Low-velocitygunshotwoundsrarelyresultinproblemsespeciallywhen they penetrate through and through, except for hematomas. The associatedchest trauma,however,shouldnot beunderestimated; while thishasalreadybeenpickedupbythepneumothoraxfoundonthechest X-ray (and treated), remember that gunshot wounds through the liver typicallytraversethediaphragmaswell.
There are three major scares even to the experienced trauma surgeonwhoalsoisanoccasionalliversurgeon:
Hepatic artery and bile duct injuries may cause extensive bleeding and make visualizationof not-pre-dissectedporta hepatis extremelydifficult.
Portal vein injuries may be difficult to visualize and repair, especiallyiftheyarebehindthepancreatichead.(“Idoknowthatit is harder to control bleeding from the back side of the portal vein
thanitistolanda737withanengineonfire.”RichardC.Karl.)
Retrohepaticvenacavainjuriesmayresultinmassivebleedingif theydonotremaincontainedintheretroperitoneum.
For management of these situations you have to have a decent amountofexperiencewiththreemaneuvers.Ifyoudon’t—gethelpearly enough.Ifsuchhelpisnotavailable—callthePriestortheRabbi(orthe Imam—Editors):
Pringlemaneuver:rapidplacementofanumbilicaltapearoundthe porta hepatis to stop vascular inflow and allow the dissection of portalstructures.Limitclampingto15minutesifyoucanandisolate injuredstructuresassoonasyoucan,toavoidglobalischemia.
Cattell-Braaschmaneuver:toexposeinjuriestotheportalveinand thepancreaticheadyouhavebeabletorapidlyperformacomplete medialvisceralrotation ontherightsideof theabdomen.The right colonismobilizedandanextendedKochermaneuverperformedto mobilize the duodenum.The root of the small bowel mesentery is mobilizeduptothesuperiormesentericarteryandinferiorborderof the pancreas. Now you may control the portal vein with finger compressionand exposethe inferiorvena cavawhich isfrequently injuredaswell.
Heaneymaneuver:mobilizationoftheportahepatis, therightlobe oftheliver,theinfrahepaticinferiorvenacavaandthesuprahepatic inferiorvenacavatoperformtotalvascular exclusionof theliver in extensivevascularinjuriesoftheliverandthevenacava.
Retrohepaticvenacavainjuries
If a hematoma behind the liver is not expanding, don’t mobilize, justpack.If massivelybleeding,mobilizetherightlobeandthenpack.If unsuccessfuland
youareanexperiencedliversurgeon,attempthepaticvascularisolation(Pringleplusclamping
suprahepatic/infradiaphragmaticvenacavaandinfrahepatic/suprarenalvenacava),exposethe retrohepaticvenacavaandrepair.Ifnot,packandcallforhelp.Atriocavalshuntsare
cumbersome, take too much time and seldom work, except in publications of which there are more than survivors — usually
authoredbymoreauthorsthanreportedcases. I havetreatedonepatient
withananteriorstabwoundsplittingtheliverandtheanteriorwalloftheretrohepaticvenacava,
wherethecavawasalreadyexposed,managedtosutureitandcompletedthe(left)lobectomy, andthepatientsurvived(madeanicecasereport).Ari
Patients with penetrating trauma requiring any of these maneuversarerare…andsoarethesurvivors!
Emergenciesarisingfromhepaticlesions
Atrainedsurgeonknowshowtodoit;aneducatedsurgeon knowswhyyoudoit.
RodneyPeyton
Theseareexceedinglyrarebutitisgoodtoknowthemwell.
‘Ruptured’hepaticcysts
Thisisoneofthemostcommonquestionsbypatientswhohavebeen diagnosedwith incidental hepatic cysts:Willitrupture? Or rather: What happens when it ruptures? The truth is, hepatic cysts almost never rupture.
Soyouwillhearthequestionfromthepatientwithalargeincidentally discovered asymptomatic cyst — whether he/she may continue taking Taekwondoorkick-boxingclasses?Whilesomesurgeonsusescenarios likethesetoscarepeopleintoperformingsurgeryonsimplecysts,Ihave yettoseeahepaticcystrupturefromthepracticeofmartialarts.Iwould avoid fear-mongering along these lines and tell patients they may continueto do everything they have doneinthe past even after having beendiagnosedwithahepaticcyst.
Despite the above, every 5 years or so, I see a patient with acute abdominalpain whoisadmitted witha disintegrated hepaticcyst, some freeabdominalfluid andathinmembranehanging fromtheliveronthe
CT scan. My recommendation: check serology for Echinococcus,
explore the liver laparoscopically, wash out the abdomen, culture the fluid andresect the cyst wall. Because this is an extremely rare
event there are noreliable dataon this versus other approachesbut it savesyoualotofheadaches.Rupturedechinococcalcystsmaypresent inpatientswithanaphylacticshock.IsawitonceinmylifeinSwitzerland whereEchinococcusisendemic.
Liverabscesses
ThediagnosisofanhepaticabscessismadebyultrasoundorCTina patientwithfeversandabdominalpain.Asusualitisworthlookingat
theimagescarefullyasyourresidentsmaycallahepaticabscess what is actually a ‘subphrenic’ or ‘subhepatic’ abscess. Spilled
stones after a previous cholecystectomy, cholecystitis, any source of abdominal infection like appendicitis, deep surgical space infections, visceralperforationsduetodiverticulitisandinflammatoryboweldisease may cause subphrenic and subhepatic abscesses in the peritoneal spacesaboveandbelowtheliverthataretightlysealedoffbythebulge ofliverparenchyma.Athoroughwork-upofthehistoryofthepatientand thelaboratoryandimagingdatashouldguideyoutothediagnosis.
Mosttrueliverabscessesinthewesternworldarepyogenicand amoebic abscesses occur mostly in third world countries. While
amoebic abscesses almost always respond to antibiotic treatment (with metronidazole), pyogenic abscesses are more tricky. While some may simplybe aspiratedwith aneedle underUSguidance,andresolvewith antibiotic therapy, very large ones and especially loculated ones usuallyrequiretranscutaneousinterventionaldrainage.
TherearetwotypesofmistakesIhaveobservedwithliverabscesses: oneistodrageverypatientwithaliverabscessintotheoperatingroom, becauseofthemisguidedconceptthattheworldiswaitingforprofessor­surgeonstosolveallproblems;theotherisnottousesurgicalcommon senseearlyenough—seethecasebelow.
Sometimeswereceiveaconsultationaboutapatientwithanon-resolvingliverabscess:alittle
9Frcatheterhasbeeninsertedbyaradiologistwhoneversawthepatientafterwardsandhas
sinceretired.A9Frdrainishangingfromthepatient’ssidewithoutbeingflushedregularly.Itis
obstructed half of the time and otherwise draining thick pus that has not changed in quality
overthelast10days.Oncethesurgicalservicereceivesaconsultationaboutsuchapatient,it
is good judgment to first recommend upsizing to a 12 or 15Fr catheter, frequent flushing to
address the source of the infection and to consider surgery if things don’t improve after the
lesionhasbeenwelldrained.
Surgeryis not quite indicatedunlessthepatient has reallybeen treated non-surgically. Onthe other hand, there are situations where
surgical drainage of non-resolving hepatic and perihepatic abscesses maysolveaproblemimmediatelythat,if notaddressed —especially in older patients — may cost the patient’s life. Non-resolving perihepatic abscesses nowadays are best addressed through a laparotomy with adequateantibioticcoverage,careful debridementand drainplacement. Theextraperitoneal approaches (plus/minusribresection) belong to the skill set of a different generation of general surgeons and are not practicedanymore.
When a hepatic abscess is drained surgically, I recommend pokingastraightfingerintotheusuallyloculatedcollectiontobreak itupandrefrainfromtearingapart theinnerwallsofthe loculated collections with a curved finger, since this will invariable destroy the Glissonian structures crossing the abscess and cause bile leaks.
Hemobilia
Hemobiliaismostfrequentlyacomplicationofinterventionalradiology procedures and is treated by interventional radiologists as well. As a surgeon you simply have to recognize the entity, know how it is diagnosedandpassitontothe specialtywhofixes it.Mostfrequently,
patients present with stigmata of GI bleeding like melena, anemia and sometimes hemodynamic instability and a recent history of instrumentation of the liver — either by transcutaneous biopsy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiography or even a laparoscopic
cholecystectomy—seethecasebelow.
Doyourememberthelaparoscopiccholecystectomyyoudidinadiabeticpatientafewweeks
ago—theonewithabaked-inchronicallyinflamedgallbladder?Yougotintothewrongplane,
therewassomebleeding from thegallbladderbed,intheendyouasked for theargonbeam
coagulator. Ultimately it stopped. The patient did fine. Afew weeks later he presented with
melena, but a negative colonoscopy and a negative upper GI endoscopy. The
gastroenterologistdidnotvisualizethepapilla,buttheymighthavenotseenanythinganyway,
because hemobilia is intermittent. However, because you are smart, you order a CT arteriogram and there it is: an intrahepatic aneurysmof the righthepatic
artery!
Thepathophysiologyisanarteriobiliaryshuntcausingbleedingintothe biliary system and — therefore — GI bleeding. Embolization of the
pseudo-aneurysm is the treatment of choice. Only in scenarios of
tumors causing arteriobiliary fistulas and the non-availability of an interventional radiologist, is a surgical resection of one liver lobe or surgicalligationofeitherhepaticarteryrequired;thisisrare.
Hepatictumors
Liver tumors may present as an emergency because of intra­abdominal bleeding. The “bleeding hepatic tumor” announced by the emergencyroomcrewfrequentlyturnsouttobeatransferfromanother hospital, because a liver lesion had been transcutaneously biopsied, although imaging with three-phase contrast CTs or MRIs could have established the diagnosis.Tobe fair,thereis a riskof spontaneous
bleeding in adenomas and hepatocellular carcinomas, but it remainsanuncommonpresentation.
Bleedingofhepaticadenomasismorecommonspecificallyinpregnant women. Bleeding hepatic tumors are nowadays managed by
transcatheter embolization to stop the bleeding. Convince your
interventional radiologist to embolize the bleeding as selectively as
possible and avoid embolizing the entire hemi-liver, because necrosis andintrahepatic cholangiopathy mayensue,which ultimately requires a moreextensiveresectionthaninitiallynecessarytoremovethetumor.It should be rare that tumor bleeding cannot be controlled by an angiographicintervention.
Only after embolization, are a thoughtful imaging work-up and
stagingindicatedtoestablishasurgicaltreatmentplan. Sometimes
anintervalofseveralweeksisrequireduntilthe hepatichematoma has resolved to be able to establish a radiologic diagnosis by MRI. Do not plan elective resectional surgery until the hematoma has completely resolved.Alargecentralhematomacancompresshepaticveinscausing aBudd-Chiari syndrome—operating insuchcircumstances mayprove disastrous!
Ifnointerventionalradiologistisavailable,laparotomyandrapidinflow control of the liver may be necessary. In older, frail patients with comorbidities and limited reserves and a bleeding exophytic hepatocellular carcinoma, I have used a hand-assisted laparoscopic approachandstaplertumorectomytorapidlyremovethebleedingmass.
Should you encounter a bleeding liver tumor causing hemodynamic instability with no local angiographic facilities, no expertise in liver surgery, and no immediate options of rapid transferal—dowhatyouwoulddowithlivertrauma:openupand pack!
Another emergency scenario is the incidentally discovered liver tumor,eitherduringanemergencyexploratorylaparotomyorduring anelectivelaparoscopyorlaparotomy.Youmightask:shouldIexcise
thelesionorperformabiopsy?Ifthelesionissmallandperipheral,itis nomistaketoexciseit,butIwouldn’ttakeanyrisks,sinceitisnoteasyto exclude other lesions in the rest of the liver without cross-sectional imaging by CT or MRI, unless you are avery goodultrasonographer.I wouldstronglyadvise nottoperformadirect biopsyintoatumorvisible ontheliversurface,butifyoudo,thenonlydoitbydrivingacoreneedle through healthy livertissue and then carefully ablating the needle tract afterwards. You just don’t want to spill tumor tissue throughout the
abdomen by performing a biopsy with a needle coming through the abdominal cavity. Nowadays MRI diagnosis of liver tumors both in healthy and diseased livers is excellent and tissue diagnosis is not always necessary to decide on further treatment courses: don’t let anybody talk you intoa biopsy; the work-up should be performed after thesurgeryisover.
Tosumup…
The liver is a quiet organ and doesn’t cause many problems unless chronically ill. Patients with chronic liver disease may present with dramaticemergenciesanditisimportantforsurgeonsandendoscopists tobewellpreparedforthose.Bluntlivertraumacanfrequentlybetreated non-operatively;thisisalsotrueforhepaticstabwoundsandlow-velocity gunshot wounds — unless associated with severe bleeding or other injuries. In emergencies arising with hepaticlesions, itis goodto know whennottooperate.Butisn’tthistrueforanythingelse?
“Liverismynumberonemosthatedfood.Oh,God,Iget sicktalkingaboutit!”

Inflammatoryboweldiseaseandothertypesof colitis

Savethepatient,notthecolon.
JohnC.Goligher
Colitis refers to inflammation of the colon. It might affect the entirecolon oritssegments.Ulcerativecolitisstartsin therectum andmigratesproximallywhereasCrohn’scolitisaffectsanypartof thecolon —aswell astheterminal smallintestine— buttendsto present with generalized colitis. Some patients present acutely with
severedisease,butmoreoftenbothdiseasestatesprogressslowlywith intermittentflaresleadingtotheneedforeventualsurgicaltreatment.
The patient and the gastroenterologists view surgery for inflammatory bowel disease as a failureof medical therapy. Thus,
manyofthesepatientshavespentmuchoftheirlivesattemptingtoavoid surgery at all costs. It is for this reason that most patients with
inflammatory bowel disease are on multiple immunosuppressive medicationsandcanbeseverelydebilitatedbythetimea surgeon isconsultedtoconsideranoperation.Itisimportanttorememberthat:
Crohn’sdisease(CD) is atransmural process, is not curable and thatsurgicaltherapyisaimedatpalliatingthepatient’ssymptoms andcontrollingactiveinfectionsandseveredisease.
Ulcerativecolitisontheotherhand,affectsthemucosaonlyandis
