1Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital, Second Military Medical University, Shanghai 200438, China.
Objective:
To study the prevention and treatment of complications after hepatectomy.
Methods:
From January 1998 to December 1999, 1 762 patients with pathologically proven primary liver cancer underwent hepatectomy. The types of resection included lobectomy, segmental resection and local hepatectomy.
Results:
The total complication rate was 4.09% and the total mortality was 0.40%. The rates of intraoperative bleeding, postoperative bleeding, hepatic failure, stockpiling fluid of the pleural cavity, residual fluid under the diaphragm, bile leakage and infection of incision were 0.96%, 0.28%, 0.51%, 1.87%, 0.17%, 0.17% and 0.11% respectively. The mortality of the former three complications were 0.06%, 0.06% and 0.28% respectively.
Conclusions:
The complications can be prevented effectively and the mortality can be decreased markedly after hepatectomy by strict control of the indications, sufficient preoperative preparation, better surgical skills and close observation of postoperative state and comprehensive postoperative treatment.
