Summary
The posterior intrahepatic approach for liver resection is safe and effective, reducing blood loss and operation time. This method ensures oncological clearance while preserving healthy liver tissue and vital structures.
Area of Science:
- Hepatobiliary surgery
- Surgical oncology
- Minimally invasive techniques
Background:
- Segment-oriented liver resections are crucial for oncological radicality and parenchyma preservation.
- The posterior intrahepatic approach offers an effective method for these complex resections.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the posterior intrahepatic approach for segment-oriented liver resections.
- To assess oncological outcomes and parenchymal preservation using this technique.
Main Methods:
- 102 patients with liver tumors underwent segmental liver resections.
- The posterior intrahepatic approach was used for suprahilar glissonean pedicle control.
- Liver parenchyma was transected using an ultrasonic dissector with intermittent vascular occlusion (IVO).
Main Results:
- Average transection time was 30.14 minutes with an average blood loss of 285.59 ml.
- The postoperative complication rate was 25.49%, with 92.16% of patients achieving R0 resection.
- No cases of liver failure or perioperative death were reported.
Conclusions:
- The posterior intrahepatic approach is a safe and efficient technique for liver segmental resection.
- It effectively reduces intraoperative hemorrhage and expedites liver transection.
- This method ensures adequate tumor clearance while preserving contralateral liver vasculature and biliary drainage.
