Abstract
Today, bariatric surgery has become the main therapeutic means to fight against the escalating increase in obesity, worldwide. Besides that, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis has inflated its indication for liver transplantation. Liver transplant surgeons are prone to face more and more patients with such background. Here, we described the first case of liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma in a patient with previous history of biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch. Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch is nowadays an uncommon bariatric surgery but use to be a second stage surgery following sleeve gastrectomy. Liver transplantation can be challenging as such bariatric procedure reshape the digestive anatomy and can also be responsible for malnutrition. Without such complication and in a center specialized in bariatric surgery and liver transplantation, such cases can be successful and should not alarm liver transplant surgeons. In our case, the bariatric anatomy was conserved, and the liver transplantation was successful, without difficulty of the post-operative immunosuppressive treatment. However, long term follow-up showed an exacerbation of the sarcopenia level and establish even more the need for an association of a well-planned physical and nutritional rehabilitation in the peri-operative period in such candidate.
期刊介绍:
To provide to national and regional audiences experiences unique to them or confirming of broader concepts originating in large controlled trials. All aspects of organ, tissue and cell transplantation clinically and experimentally. Transplantation Reports will provide in-depth representation of emerging preclinical, impactful and clinical experiences. -Original basic or clinical science articles that represent initial limited experiences as preliminary reports. -Clinical trials of therapies previously well documented in large trials but now tested in limited, special, ethnic or clinically unique patient populations. -Case studies that confirm prior reports but have occurred in patients displaying unique clinical characteristics such as ethnicities or rarely associated co-morbidities. Transplantation Reports offers these benefits: -Fast and fair peer review -Rapid, article-based publication -Unrivalled visibility and exposure for your research -Immediate, free and permanent access to your paper on Science Direct -Immediately citable using the article DOI
