H H Thompson, R K Tompkins, W P Longmire

    Annals of Surgery
    |April 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hepatic resection for liver tumors and other conditions had a 10.9% operative mortality. While outcomes varied by diagnosis, resection offered survival benefits for select benign and malignant liver diseases.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Major hepatic resections are complex procedures for diverse liver conditions.
    • Assessing outcomes and survival rates is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes and survival rates of 138 patients undergoing major hepatic resections.
    • To analyze the impact of different liver pathologies on surgical results.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 138 patients who underwent major hepatic resections.
    • Analysis of operative mortality, postoperative complications, and long-term survival.

    Main Results:

    • Overall operative mortality was 10.9% (15 deaths within 30 days).
    • Common complications included intra-abdominal sepsis (17%) and biliary leak (11%).
    • Favorable outcomes were noted for benign lesions; 5-year survival for hepatocellular carcinoma was 38%.

    Conclusions:

    • Hepatic resection is valuable for specific benign conditions, liver trauma, and certain tumors.
    • Survival rates vary significantly based on the underlying liver pathology.
    • Careful patient selection is essential for optimizing outcomes after major liver resections.
