Estimation of Steatosis on Liver Transplants by Intraoperative Spectrometry
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
240 participants
Jan 14, 2022
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal is to have a small spectrometer (pocket size) , reliable and rapid tool that can be used during liver harvesting, which enables macrosteatosis to be evaluated reproducibly and selectively, at any time. This tool must be minimally invasive, inexpensive and without significantly impacting the general organization of multi-organ harvesting. In the operating room, the surgeon will perform an intraoperative spectrometer scan (five scans on the left lobe) before clamping the aorta. The surgeon will not be informed of the results of the spectrometer, and will carry out (or not) the biopsy. The spectrometers' results will be compared with definitive histological findings.
