Laparoscopic right hepatectomy (LRH) offers improved outcomes compared to open right hepatectomy (ORH) in selected patients, including reduced blood loss and shorter hospital stays. Further research is needed to confirm its role in major liver resections.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Surgical oncology

Background:

  • Safety of major liver resections via laparoscopy remains under investigation.
  • Laparoscopic major liver resections are increasingly adopted but require further safety validation.
  • Comparative data on laparoscopic versus open liver resections are limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare outcomes of laparoscopic right hepatectomy (LRH) with open right hepatectomy (ORH).
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of LRH versus ORH.
  • To determine if laparoscopy offers advantages for major liver resections.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective comparison of patients undergoing LRH versus ORH.
  • Patient groups matched for key demographic and clinical characteristics (age, BMI, liver disease, tumor size, ASA score).

  • Comparison of surgical metrics (operating time, blood loss) and postsurgical outcomes (morbidity, hospital stay).

    • Main Results:

    • Seventy-two patients analyzed (22 LRH, 50 ORH).
    • LRH demonstrated significantly less blood loss (P = .038) and shorter mean hospital stay (P = .009).
    • General morbidity was lower after laparoscopy (P = .04), with no significant differences in specific morbidity or complication severity.

    Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic right hepatectomy shows improved surgical and postsurgical outcomes in selected patients.
    • This study provides initial evidence supporting laparoscopy's advantage in major liver resections.
    • Prospective randomized trials with larger cohorts are necessary to solidify the role of laparoscopy in major liver surgery.
