Retrograde caudate lobectomy offers a new surgical approach for challenging caudate lobe tumors. This technique can make previously unresectable neoplasms treatable, expanding treatment options.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Surgical oncology

Background:

  • Caudate lobe tumors pose unique surgical challenges due to their location.
  • Conventional resection methods may be limited for tumors involving the inferior vena cava (IVC) or those fixed in place.

Observation:

  • A modified retrograde caudate lobectomy technique was performed on 7 patients.
  • Division and ligation of short hepatic veins occurred in the final surgical stage.

Findings:

  • All procedures were successful with no operative mortality.
  • Average operation time was 273 minutes, with an average blood loss of 1114 ml.
  • Postoperative recovery was generally good, with minor complications like pleural effusion and ascites fully resolving.

Implications:

  • Retrograde caudate lobectomy is a viable option for caudate neoplasms adhering to or infiltrating the IVC.
  • This technique can convert non-resectable tumors into resectable ones, broadening surgical indications for liver cancer.
