    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary surgery
    • Surgical oncology
    • Transplantation surgery

    Background:

    • Major hepatic resections are challenging due to complex vascular anatomy and bleeding risks.
    • Certain liver tumors are considered unresectable with conventional surgical approaches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the technique and outcomes of 29 major hepatic resections using complete vascular isolation and hypothermic liver perfusion.
    • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of this technique for previously unresectable liver tumors.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized complete vascular isolation and hypothermic perfusion of the liver during major hepatic resections.
    • Focused on clear visualization and control of major intrahepatic vascular structures.
    • Managed direct neoplastic involvement and tumor thrombi in major vessels.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully performed 29 major hepatic resections, including many previously unresectable tumors.
    • Achieved clear vision and control of hepatic vasculature, facilitating complex dissections.
    • Reported an operative mortality of 10.3% for the series.

    Conclusions:

    • Complete vascular isolation and hypothermic perfusion enable challenging hepatic resections with improved visibility and control.
    • This technique expands the scope of resectable liver tumors, potentially improving outcomes.
    • Combined with adjuvant chemotherapy, this approach may enhance cure rates for hepatic cancer.
