Summary

Hepatic resection without vascular inflow exclusion is feasible. Total inflow exclusion during liver surgery did not reduce blood loss but increased liver enzyme levels, suggesting it may not be essential.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Liver Transplantation

Background:

  • Hepatic resection is a complex procedure.
  • Managing blood loss and liver function is critical.
  • Vascular inflow exclusion is a technique used to control bleeding during liver surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the necessity of vascular inflow exclusion in hepatic resection.
  • To compare outcomes between hepatic resection with and without vascular inflow exclusion.

Main Methods:

  • Seventy-nine patients undergoing hepatic resection were divided into three groups.
  • Group 1: No hepatic hilar vascular exclusion.
  • Group 2: Unilateral vascular inflow exclusion.
  • Group 3: Total vascular inflow exclusion.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences in blood loss or transfusion requirements were observed between groups.
  • Serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase levels were significantly higher in the total exclusion group (Group 3) on postoperative day 3 compared to the no exclusion group (Group 1).

Conclusions:

  • Vascular inflow exclusion may not be essential for successful hepatic resection.
  • Total inflow exclusion might lead to increased postoperative liver enzyme levels.
