Laparoscopic liver resection (LR) offers comparable survival rates to open liver resection (OR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). LR demonstrates reduced blood transfusion rates, shorter hospital stays, and lower complication rates.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant global health concern.
  • Surgical resection remains a primary treatment modality for HCC.
  • Comparing laparoscopic liver resection (LR) with traditional open liver resection (OR) is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the clinical benefits and survival outcomes of laparoscopic liver resection (LR) versus open liver resection (OR) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 116 patients undergoing LR and 208 patients undergoing OR for HCC.
  • Patient selection for each approach was non-randomized.
  • Key outcomes assessed included operative time, blood transfusion, diet resumption, hospital stay, complication rates, mortality, and survival rates.

Main Results:

  • LR group showed significantly lower CLIP scores (P = .016) and reduced need for blood transfusions (6.9% vs 50.9%).
  • Patients undergoing LR experienced faster diet resumption (2nd vs 3rd postoperative day) and shorter hospital stays (6 vs 12 days).
  • LR had lower complication (2.9% vs 30.2%) and mortality rates (0% vs 6.0%) compared to OR, with no significant difference in 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates between the groups.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic liver resection (LR) is a safe and effective alternative to open liver resection (OR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
  • LR offers significant advantages in terms of reduced morbidity and faster recovery without compromising long-term survival.
  • These findings support the wider adoption of LR for suitable HCC patients.
