Summary

Liver tumor management has evolved with newer data supporting various resection techniques. Anatomical resections improve survival, but individualized approaches considering liver function and cirrhosis are crucial for optimal outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Surgical oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Liver resections have increased in recent decades.
  • Newer data necessitates an update on liver tumor management strategies.
  • The IHPBA classification offers a standardized nomenclature for liver resections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and update factors influencing liver tumor management based on recent evidence.
  • To evaluate different surgical techniques and adjunctive therapies for liver tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search (Medline, Embase, Cochrane) from 1983-2008.
  • Analysis of randomized trials, cohort studies, and nonrandomized studies.
  • Evaluation of surgical techniques including pedicle occlusion, transection, anatomical vs. nonanatomical resections, and radiofrequency ablation (RFA).

Main Results:

  • Optimal intermittent pedicle occlusion time is 30 min; liver resections without clamping are feasible.
  • Clamp crushing is superior to newer transection techniques.
  • Anatomical resections are supported by cohort studies for improved outcomes.
  • Nonanatomical and ablative therapies are suitable for patients with cirrhosis and small remnant livers.
  • Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) shows comparable long-term outcomes to surgery for tumors < 5 cm.
  • No randomized trials compare laparoscopic and open surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Surgery remains a key treatment for malignant hepatic neoplasms.
  • Individualized selection between anatomical and nonanatomical resections is vital, considering cirrhosis and remnant liver function.
  • A clear resection margin is essential.
  • RFA is a valuable complementary tool for complex tumors or patients with poor liver function.
  • Laparoscopic ultrasonography aids in staging and RFA procedures.
