Benchmarking Report Guides Infection and Antibiotic Control in Pediatric Appendicitis

Complete liver splitting along the demarcation line induced higher portal vein pressure and more rapid future liver remnant hypertrophy than partial or ectopic liver splitting after portal vein ligation in a rat model. The portal hemodynamic alterations, rather than inflammatory cytokine release, played a significant role in accelerating liver hypertrophy. Extrahepatic organ injury, such as spleen ablation, also impacted portal hemodynamics and liver regeneration.
