    Angiomiolipoma epitelioide hepático
    (Elsevier España, 2002) Rotellar, F. (Fernando); Rodriguez-Spiteri, N. (Natalia); Pardo, F. (Fernando); Olea, J. (J.); Toledo, G. (Gemma); Álvarez-Cienfuegos, J. (Javier); Sola, J. (Josu); Gil, A. (Aurora); Cervera, M. (María)
    Abstract: We describe the case of a hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma in a 50-year-old woman with epigastric pain and well-circumscribed 47 mm hepatic mass detected by ultrasonography. Angiomyolipoma is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor of the liver, composed of variable amounts of smooth muscle cells, abnormal blood vessels and adipose tissue. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult. Immunoreactivity with HMB-45 antibody helps to distinguish this tumor from other benign and malignant tumors of the liver.

    Early graft thrombosis after
    (Minerva Medica, 2006) Olea, J. (J.); Fernandez-Alonso, L. (Leopoldo)
    Endovascular repair of aortic aneurysm has become a viable treatment option in selected patients. However, despite the minimally invasive nature ot this treatment a significant incidence of vascular complications has been reported. Here, we report two cases of acute limbs ischemia due to endograft thrombosis in patients treated with aortouni-iliac devices and we review the etiologic factors related with these events and the treatment options. We suggest that the presence of atherosclerotic plaques within the outflow arteries and coexistent infrainguinal arterial occlusive disease (poor runoff) is an underestimated factor in the risk of graft thrombosis, especially in patients treated with aortouni-iliac devices and we advocate the use in the early follow-up surveillance after endovascular repair of aortic aneurysm of noninvasive test such duplex scanning, segmental pressures and ankle-brachial indices to asses the presence or progress of coexistent occlusive disease. We also suggest that some adverse outcomes ascribed to device failure might be more properly charged to inappropriate patient selection

    Comparison Between Two Warm Ischemic Models in Experimental Liver Transplantation in Pigs
    (Elsevier, 2003) Rotellar, F. (Fernando); Espi, A. (A.); Martinez-Regueira, F. (Fernando); Baixauli-Fons, J. (Jorge); Pardo, F. (Fernando); Olea, J. (J.); Álvarez-Cienfuegos, J. (Javier); Hernandez-Lizoain, J.L. (Jose Luis); Diez-Caballero, A. (Alberto); Nwose, P. (P.)
    Experimental models of warm ischemia in liver transplantation have been employed to study the mechanisms and treatment of ischemia reperfusion injury. METHODS: We compared a control group without (group A, n = 10) versus two models of warm ischemia of liver transplants in pigs: namely, occlusion of the hepatic artery and portal vein for 30 minutes (group B, n = 23) and extraction of the liver 60 minutes after cardiac arrest (group C, n = 5). Liver function tests, coagulation studies, and liver biopsies were performed during the first 24 hours post-liver transplant. RESULTS: Clamping of the hepatic vasculature in group B produced a significant liver injury compared with the control group: elevation of the ALT and an abnormal 1-hour post-revascularization biopsy similar to that observed in the cardiac arrest group C. The transaminase levels were lower among group A animals (P <.05). But the hepatic synthetic functions as reflected in the protrombin time (PT) were not affected in group B versus group A. The alteration in PT with respect to the initial value was similar among group A and group B animals, which were significantly less than that in group C (P <.05). CONCLUSIONS: Occlusion of the hepatic artery and portal vein, a simple surgical maneuver, causes moderate damage to a liver graft but less alteration of hepatic synthetic function. Clamping of the hepatic vasculture obtains more long-term survivors after OLT than cardiac arrest.

    Papel de la cirugía en el tratamiento del linfoma gástrico primario
    (Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2000) Rotellar, F. (Fernando); Espi, A. (A.); Martinez-Regueira, F. (Fernando); Rodriguez-Spiteri, N. (Natalia); Baixauli-Fons, J.

    Primary gastric lymphoma's optimum management remains controversial. We reviewed our series of 23 patients with primary gastric lymphoma treated in our hospital between 1976 and 1998 with surgery as main therapy. Ten patients underwent surgical resection alone, whereas 13 also received postoperative adjuvant therapy, depending on the oncologist-haematologist's recommendations. No differences were found between treatments regarding mortality and morbidity. Clinical-histological features and patients, follow-up are analyzed. No patient died because of lymphoma and there wasn't either local or distant recurrence. We consider that surgery remains a valid option for the primary gastric lymphoma treatment. The introduction of combined modalities of radiation therapy and chemotherapy will depend on the final stage, the tumor histological features, and the feasibility of getting a radical resection.

    Cirugía mínimamente invasiva de la hernia inguinal
    (Gobierno de Navarra, Departamento de Salud, 2005) Valenti, V. (Víctor); Pastor, C. (Carlos); Olea, J. (J.); Cuadrado, A. (A.); Diaz-Caballero, A. (A.); Vicens, C. (C.)
    El abordaje mínimamente invasivo de la hernia inguinal presenta ventajas respecto a los abordajes convencionales anteriores en las hernias inguinales bilaterales y recurrentes, si bien los resultados iniciales fueron malos, se sumaron nuevos problemas derivados del abordaje laparoscópico. El objetivo de este artículo es describir la técnica quirúrgica y analizar los resultados preliminares de nuestra serie de 600 hernioplastias totalmente extraperitoneales realizadas en la Clínica Universitaria de Navarra. La complicación intraoperatoria más frecuente (25,7%) fue la apertura accidental del peritoneo. No hubo complicaciones intrabdominales asociadas. En el seguimiento hubo 9 (1,5%) recidivas y 13 reintervenciones. Once (1,8%) pacientes desarrollaron dolor neuropático transitorio en el territorio del fémoro-cutáneo. En nuestra experiencia el abordaje totalmente extraperitoneal es una técnica especialmente indicada en hernias recidivadas y bilaterales. Las ventajas presentes en cuanto a dolor y disconfort postoperatorio, recuperación de la actividad física y laboral, y los buenos resultados en cuanto a recidivas y dolor neuropático nos animan a indicarla no sólo en las hernias inguinales recidivadas o bilaterales sino en las primarias.
