Surgical hepatology
Our research domain includes all focal and diffuse liver diseases that can be treated by liver transplantation or by liver resection.
The diffuse liver diseases that can be treated by liver transplantation are liver cirrhoses, whether of viral, toxic or metabolic origin, and diseases of the biliary tree such as sclerosing cholangitis. Hepatocellular carcinomas confined to the liver, a complication of chronic liver disease, is a recognised indication for liver transplantation. Among the focal liver diseases are benign liver tumours (adenomas, focal nodular hyperplasias, haemangiomas, primary liver cancers such as hepatocellular carcinomas and cholangiocarcinomas, and liver metastases, in particular of colorectal, breast, and neuroendocrine origin. In addition, some parasitic liver diseases (hydatid kysts and alveolar echinococcosis) can require resection of the liver and are included in our research interests. Research topics The different topics mentioned in the research domains have been the subject of publications (enclosed). At present, the ongoing projects are : In liver transplantation ->Liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma, treatment strategies including liver resection and living-donor liver transplantation. ->An experimental study in liver transplantation with a graft that is small for size: « hepatic function in small-for-size liver transplantation, role of hepatic flow » with Dr C. PASTOR. ->Treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma in the waiting list before liver transplantation. ->Pulmonary diseases associated to cirrhosis, and their impact on liver transplantation (with Dr E SCHIFFER, Dr C. PASTOR, and Prof A. HADENGUE). ->Long-term follow-up of liver transplant recipients : renal function (with Dr I. MORARD and Dr E. GIOSTRA), hepatitis C virus (with Dr F. NEGRO, le Dr I. MORARD and Dr E. GIOSTRA). ->Our group is leading the European study on liver transplantation for Budd-Chiari syndrome (with the , European Liver Transplantation Association). Last, our group has been the initiator or has collaborated in several multicentric studies on immunosuppressants after liver transplantation. In liver resection surgery Our group has published on liver resections for hydatid disease and alveolar echinococcosis, for benign liver tumours, for colorectal and non-colorectal liver metastases and for hepatocellular carcinoma. The development of new medico-surgical strategies for the treatment of synchronous and metachronous colorectal liver metastases is one of the main interests of our group. The histological response of the tumours to chemotherapy and the lesions induced in the non-tumoural liver (with Dr L. RUBBIA-BRANDT) the results of new chemotherapies (with Dr A. ROTH) in association to liver resection have been the subject of several studies. The treatment of benign liver tumours (with Dr Ch. TOSO), of Klatskin¿s tumours (with Dr P. CHARBONNET), of hydatid kysts (with Dr R. CHAUTEMS), of liver trauma and of techniques of vascular exclusion (with Dr T. BERNEY), have been the subject of publications by our group.
