Summary

Laparoscopic liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) offers improved postoperative outcomes, including reduced bleeding and shorter hospital stays, without compromising oncologic results compared to open surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Limited evidence exists on the safety and benefits of laparoscopic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
  • Previous studies often focused on minor, nonanatomic liver resections.
  • This study compares outcomes of laparoscopic versus open liver resections for HCC, emphasizing anatomic resections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic liver resection versus open resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
  • To evaluate operative, postoperative, and oncologic outcomes in a series of anatomic liver resections for HCC.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective pair-matched study comparing 42 patients undergoing laparoscopic HCC resection with those undergoing open laparotomy.
  • Matching criteria included sex, age, ASA score, liver disease severity, tumor size, and resection type.
  • Outcomes assessed included operative time, blood loss, transfusion rates, postoperative complications, hospital stay, surgical margins, recurrence, and survival.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic resection showed significantly less bleeding (364.3 vs. 723.7 ml) and a shorter hospital stay (6.7 vs. 9.6 days).
  • Postoperative ascites was less frequent after laparoscopic resections (7.1% vs. 26.1%).
  • No significant differences were observed in transfusion rates, general morbidity, surgical margins, local recurrence, or overall survival rates between the groups.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic liver resection for selected HCC patients provides superior postoperative outcomes without adverse oncologic effects.
  • Further prospective studies are needed to validate these findings and support broader adoption of the technique.
