Hand-assisted laparoscopic liver resection improves safety and ease for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surgery. This minimally invasive technique enhances tumor access and bleeding control, offering significant benefits over traditional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic liver resection offers minimally invasive benefits but presents challenges.
  • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) management often requires surgical intervention.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old male with HCC underwent hand-assisted laparoscopic hepatectomy.
  • The procedure involved four 10-mm trocars and a small umbilical incision for hand insertion.
  • Specialized instruments, including a microwave tissue coagulator and ultrasonic dissector, were utilized.

Findings:

  • The hand-assisted approach facilitated tumor access and provided tactile feedback.
  • Total operation time was 162 minutes with minimal blood loss (20 g).
  • The patient experienced an uneventful postoperative course with a 7-day hospital stay.

Implications:

  • Hand-assisted laparoscopic liver resection enhances safety and feasibility for HCC.
  • This technique balances minimally invasive advantages with improved surgical control.
  • Restored tactile sensation aids in managing unexpected intraoperative bleeding.
