    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Major hepatic resections in children are complex surgical procedures.
    • Understanding outcomes and complications is crucial for pediatric surgical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present outcomes of 23 major hepatic resections in pediatric patients.
    • To analyze associated injuries and complications in the trauma subgroup.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 23 pediatric cases undergoing major hepatic resection.
    • Analysis of operative outcomes, including mortality, morbidity, and specific complications.

    Main Results:

    • One operative death occurred among 23 cases.

  • Complications were limited to five patients, with no instances of gastrointestinal bleeding, respiratory, renal, or hepatic failure.
  • The trauma group exhibited an unusually low number of associated injuries.

    • Conclusions:

    • Major hepatic resections in children can be performed with low morbidity and mortality.
    • Debridement may suffice for subsegmental liver injuries.
    • Anatomic lobectomy should be considered for severe injuries involving multiple liver segments within a single lobe.
