    Intraperitoneal septic complications after hepatectomy (IPSCH) occurred in 12.8% of patients. Early diagnosis via subphrenic drainage culture and secure hemostasis are key to reducing IPSCH incidence and improving outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Surgical Infections
    • Postoperative Complications

    Background:

    • Hepatic resections are complex procedures with potential for serious complications.
    • Intraperitoneal septic complications after hepatectomy (IPSCH) represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify perioperative risk factors for IPSCH.
    • To evaluate factors influencing the outcome of IPSCH.
    • To propose strategies for reducing IPSCH incidence and improving patient outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 149 elective hepatic resections performed between 1973 and 1984.
    • Identification of perioperative variables associated with IPSCH development.
    • Comparison of outcomes between patients with and without IPSCH, and analysis of trends over time.

    Main Results:

    • Nineteen patients (12.8%) developed IPSCH, with 13 deaths due to liver failure.
    • Risk factors for IPSCH included right/extended right lobectomy, age >65, operation time >5 hours, blood loss >3000g, and postoperative bleeding requiring reoperation.
    • Improved outcomes since 1981 correlated with opportunistic pathogens and earlier diagnosis via subphrenic drainage culture, with lower bilirubin levels in survivors.

    Conclusions:

    • Secure hemostasis and minimizing tissue devitalization during hepatectomy are crucial for reducing IPSCH incidence.
    • Routine culture of subphrenic drainage is recommended for earlier diagnosis and improved management of IPSCH.
    • Proactive surgical techniques and vigilant postoperative monitoring are essential for managing patients undergoing hepatic resection.
