    Hepatic hilum variations and their clinical considerations in the liver: a systematic review and meta-analysis
    (MDPI, 2024-05-18) Valenzuela Fuenzalida, Juan José; Pena Santibañez, Fernanda; Vergara Salinas, Ayline; Meneses Caroca, Trinidad; Rojo Gonzalez, Javiera; Orellana-Donoso, Mathias; Nova Baeza, Pablo; Suazo Santibañez, Alejandra; Suazo Santibañez, Juan; Gutierrez Espinoza, Héctor
    Background: The liver has a region called the hepatic hilum (HH) where structures enter and exit: anteriorly, the left and right hepatic ducts; posteriorly, the portal vein; and between these, the left and right hepatic arteries. The objective of this review is to know how variants in structures of the hepatic hilum are associated with clinical alterations of the liver. Methods: The databases Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, CINAHL, and LILACS were researched until January 2024. The methodological quality was evaluated with an assurance tool for anatomical studies (AQUA). The pooled prevalence was estimated using a random effects model. Results: A total of six studies met the selection criteria established in this study for meta-analysis. The prevalence of hepatic hilus variants was 9% (CI = 5% to 13%), and the heterogeneity was 83%. The other studies were analyzed descriptively and with their respective clinical considerations in the presence of the variant, such as the high incidence of the Michels type III variant; among the portal vein variants, the type III variant of the Cheng classification stands out and in biliary anatomy, and the IIIa variant stands out according to the Choi classification. Conclusions: This review allowed us to know in detail the anatomical variants of HH; the structure with which the greatest care should be taken is the hepatic artery because of the probability of metastatic processes due to increased blood distribution in the hepatic lobules. Finally, we believe that new anatomical and clinical studies are needed to improve our knowledge of the relationship between HH variants and liver alterations or surgeries.

    The association between anatomical variants of musculoskeletal structures and nerve compressions of the lower limb: a systematic review and meta-analysis
    (MDPI, 2024-03-26) Valenzuela Fuenzalida, Juan José; Inostroza Wegner, Alfredo; Osorio Muñoz, Francisca; Milos Brandenberg, Daniel; Santana Machuca, Andrés; Nova Baeza, Pablo; Orellana-Donoso, Mathias; Bruna Mejias, Alejandro; Iwanaga, Joe; Sanchis Gimeno, Juan; Gutierrez Espinoza, Héctor
    Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the main anatomical variants and morphofunctional alterations in the lower limb that compress surrounding nervous structures in the gluteal region, thigh region, and leg and foot region. Methods: We searched the Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, CINAHL, and LILACS databases from their inception up to October 2023. An assurance tool for anatomical studies (AQUA) was used to evaluate methodological quality, and the Joanna Briggs Institute assessment tool for case reports was also used. Forest plots were generated to assess the prevalence of variants of the gluteal region, thigh, and leg. Results: According to the forest plot of the gluteal region, the prevalence was 0.18 (0.14–0.23), with a heterogeneity of 93.52%. For the thigh region, the forest plot presented a prevalence of 0.10 (0.03–0.17) and a heterogeneity of 91.18%. The forest plot of the leg region was based on seven studies, which presented a prevalence of 0.01 (0.01–0.01) and a heterogeneity of 96.18%. Conclusions: This review and meta-analysis showed that, in studies that analyzed nerve compressions, the prevalence was low in the thigh and leg regions, while in the gluteal region, it was slightly higher. This is mainly due to the PM region and its different variants. We believe that it is important to analyze all the variant regions defined in this study and that surgeons treating the lower limb should be attentive to these possible scenarios so that they can anticipate possible surgical situations and thus avoid surgical complications.
