One-shot side-to-side anastomosis (OSSSA) with stapler for cavo-cavostomy in liver transplantation: the first step towards a fully mechanized liver transplant?

Résumé

Background: In literature, a variety of caval reconstruction techniques for liver transplantation have been reported. The piggyback technique preserves the recipient's caval vein which is directly anastomosed to donor's inferior vena cava (IVC) allowing for the reduction of hemodynamic compromise during liver transplantation. Methods: Herein, we present our standardized step-by-step technique for the realization of a caval one-shot side-to-side anastomosis (OSSSA) using a linear stapler. A Satinsky vascular clamp is placed in a top down direction to realize a longitudinal partial clamping of the recipient IVC. A 1-cm venotomy is then performed on the anterior wall of the recipient IVC to permit the easy introduction of the vascular stapler arm in order to perform the mechanical anastomosis. Portal vein, hepatic artery, and biliary anastomosis are then completed in standard fashion. Conclusions: Compared to the manual one, this mechanical anastomosis permits to reduce operative time, caval and portal vein clamping, warm ischemia time, and visceral congestion. Results: In our opinion, this is a rapid, easy, safe, and reproducible technique to perform the side-to-side cavocaval anastomosis during liver transplantation in selected patients when a manual anastomosis may be technically challenging.
