The New Ropanasuri Journal of Surgery
Introduction. Chronic rejection, a complication after pediatric living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), is challenging to treat as management generally requires retransplantation. However, retransplantation is avoided because of rejection risks, longer operating time, higher mortality, and lower survival rates. Immunosuppressant therapy has potential as an option for nonsurgical treatment. Everolimus, a mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (mTOR inhibitors), is a well-known immunosuppressant in treating chronic rejection of LDLT. However, studies in the pediatric field remain minimum.
Method. The discussion was based on evidence found from studies found through a systematic literature search. These three studies showed permanent liver function improvement after …

Seroma As A Biological Tissue Expander On Post-Mastectomy Reconstruction: A Case Report, Ahmad Kurnia, Fatahillah Muazdhani
The New Ropanasuri Journal of Surgery
Introduction. Previous studies have reported that patient satisfaction with breast cancer management is related to the success of breast reconstruction. The tissue expander used in breast reconstruction today has several disadvantages: the high cost, the nature of the foreign body, and the risk of failure. Seroma has the potential as a natural tissue developer in post-mastectomy reconstruction. This case report aims to describe the technique, results, advantages, and limitations of post-mastectomy breast reconstruction using a seroma as a natural tissue expander that has never been done before.
Case Presentation. A 37-year-old woman was diagnosed with stage IIIA non-special type (NST) …
