Resection of primary solid hepatic tumors.

M A Adson, L H Weiland

    American Journal of Surgery
    |January 1, 1981

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Aggressive surgical management of liver tumors, including primary hepatic malignancies, offers acceptable operative risk and improved survival. This approach is justified for patients with liver cancer, providing significant palliation or enhanced long-term outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Solid hepatic tumors present complex management challenges.
    • Surgical resection is a primary treatment modality for both benign and malignant liver lesions.
    • Understanding outcomes related to tumor characteristics and resection extent is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze surgical management outcomes for 60 solid hepatic tumors.
    • To evaluate the relationship between lesion characteristics, resection extent, operative risk, complications, and survival.
    • To determine the justification for aggressive surgical treatment of primary hepatic malignancies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 60 patients undergoing surgical resection of solid hepatic tumors.

  • Data collected included lesion size (5-29 cm, avg 13 cm), type (46 malignancies, 14 benign), extent of resection (trisegmentectomies, hemihepatectomies, segmentectomies), operative risk, and postoperative outcomes.
  • Survival rates were calculated for patients with malignant lesions.

    • Main Results:

    • Resection extent correlated with tumor size and location.
    • Three postoperative deaths occurred; two were due to unresectable tumor extension.
    • Survival rates at 10, 5, and 3 years for malignant lesions were 33%, 36%, and 65% respectively.

    Conclusions:

    • Aggressive surgical treatment for primary hepatic malignancy is associated with acceptable operative risk.
    • Surgical resection offers significant palliation and improved survival for patients with liver cancer.
    • The study supports the aggressive surgical management of primary hepatic malignancies.
