This study confirmed overall good QoL in patients undergoing liver resection for benign or malignant tumours, which improved after surgery. Benign diseases were associated with better short- and long-term QoL scores.
Percutaneous liver biopsy (PLB) is a valuable diagnostic tool. Complication rates vary depending on the technique used, experience of the physician, number of passes, bleeding parameters and other factors. Hemorrhage is a common complication after PLB and can present as intraperitoneal bleeding, intrahepatic or subcapsular hematoma, or rarely as hemobilia. Acute pancreatitis is a rare complication of hemobilia. We describe a single case of acute pancreatitis caused by biliary obstruction due to hemobilia following PLB. The obstruction was successfully managed with biliary stent drainage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
