    Abstract Liver involvement after abdominal blunt trauma must be expected, and in up to 30% of cases, spleen, kidney, and pancreas injuries may coexist. Whenever hemodynamics conditions do not contraindicate the overcoming of the ancient dogma according to which exploratory laparotomy should be performed after every major abdominal trauma, a CT scan has to clarify the liver lesions so as to determine the optimal management strategy. Except for complete vascular avulsion, no liver trauma grade precludes nonoperative management. Every attempt to treat the injured liver by avoiding a strong surgical approach may be considered. Each time, a nonoperative management (NOM) consisting of a basic "wait and see" attitude combined with systemic support and blood replacement are inadequate. Embolization should be considered to stop the bleeding. Percutaneous drainage of collections, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with papilla sphincterotomy or stent placement and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) may avoid, or at least delay, surgical reconstruction or resection until systemic and hepatic inflammatory remodeling are resolved. The pathophysiological principle sustaining these leanings is based on the opportunity to limit the further release of cell debris fragments acting as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and the following stress response associated with the consequent immune suppression after trauma. The main goal will be a faster recovery combined with limited cell death of the liver through the ischemic events that may directly follow the trauma, exacerbated by hemostatic procedures and surgery, in order to reduce the gross distortion of a regenerated liver.

    Abstract Objectives: Criteria for donation have been expanded to meet the great demand for organ transplant, resulting in different tools and classifications to help physicians to better assess the quality of the transplanted kidney. In this study, we evaluated the use of indocyanine green angiography as an additional tool to evaluate the renal microcirculation and the quality of the potential kidney graft.
    Materials and methods: All kidneys from extended criteria donors or donors after cardiac death available for transplant underwent indocyanine green angiog-raphy before implantation and after reconditioning, when hypothermic perfusion was required. We performed fluorescent angiography with a 10-mm-view laparoscope connected to a high-definition camera system while a solution of indocyanine green and Celsior was injected into the renal artery. We compared fluorescence intensities with postoperative graft function and then analyzed increases in fluorescence intensity before and after hypothermic machine perfusion treatment.
    Results: In transplanted kidneys preserved in traditional cold storage, we found a statistically significant difference in fluorescence intensity values between groups with early graft function and delayed graft function. Fluorescence intensity increased significantly in all perfused kidneys after hypothermic machine perfusion treatment, indicating that intensity was directly proportional to improved renal microcirculation. Among 21 kidneys retrieved for transplant that adhered to the inclusion criteria, 11 were examined histopathologically, with a Karpinski score ranging from 2 to 7. The kidney that scored 7 was immediately discarded. Five underwent hypothermic pulsatile perfusion since they came from donors after cardiac death. Fluorescence intensity increased significantly in all perfused kidneys (4/5 were closest to doubling). Histopathological evaluations and Karpinski scores of the grafts indicated that all 5 were considered suitable for transplant.
    Conclusions: Indocyanine green angiography can be used in the future as an additional useful tool to help physicians to assess graft quality before implantation.

    Abstract Foreign body ingestion in the upper digestive tract is a relatively common emergency. Less than 1% have to be treated surgically. We report the case of a 68-year-old man who ingested a dental prosthesis, probably during a seizure, and thus unknowingly, and presented two days later to the emergency department complaining of a mild dysphagia. A chest radiograph showed the presence of a removable dental prosthesis in the upper esophageal tract. The patient was brought to the operating room where a multidisciplinary equipe was assembled. Two attempts of retrieval with a flexible and a rigid endoscope failed because the removable dental prosthesis was stuck in the right pyriform sinus. Therefore, the surgeon performed an uncommon right cervicotomy and retrieved the foreign body through a right-side esophagotomy. The surgical approach depends on the nature and location of the foreign body. Urgent treatment is required whenever the patient develops dyspnea or dysphagia because of the high risk of inhalation and asphyxia. Removal of any esophageal foreign body has to be performed within 12-24 h. Repeated attempts to retrieve large dental prosthesis using an endoscope may result in esophageal perforation therefore when such risk of complication is too high, a surgical approach becomes inevitable. In our opinion, surgery remains the extrema ratio after a failed endoscopic retrieval attempt but can be lifesaving despite high risk of complications.
