This study demonstrates a simple strategy for major hepatectomy, achieving a low mortality rate of 2.9% in 104 patients undergoing liver resection for various conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Retrospective analysis of 104 major hepatectomies performed between 1995 and 2002.
  • Patient cohort included 72 malignant tumors and 32 benign diseases, with varying degrees of liver function impairment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a simple strategy for performing major hepatectomy.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of the described surgical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Initial procedures involved hilar ligation for lobectomy and Pringle's maneuver for segmentectomy.
  • From 1997, Chang's needle was utilized in 34 patients for hepatic inflow and outflow blockade.
  • Techniques included extended lobectomies, bisegmentectomies, and left lateral segmentectomies.

Main Results:

  • Overall postoperative mortality was 2.9% (3/104 patients).
  • Significant complications occurred in 11.5% of patients, including bile leaks (2.9%) and abscesses (5.8%).
  • One major bile leak required reconstructive surgery.

Conclusions:

  • The applied strategies for hepatic resection are straightforward.
  • These simple strategies enable the achievement of low mortality rates in major hepatectomy procedures.
