    PubMed
    Summary

    This study introduces a new method to estimate liver function after surgery for liver cancer. It uses Indocyanine Green (ICG) testing and hepatic vein catheterization for accurate preoperative assessment, improving surgical safety.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Major liver resections for cancer require accurate assessment of postoperative liver function.
    • Preoperative estimation of hepatic function is crucial for patient safety during major hepatectomies.
    • Existing methods may be insufficient in complex cases like cirrhosis and cancer.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a reliable preoperative method for estimating postoperative liver function.
    • To improve the safety and efficiency of major liver resections in cancer patients.
    • To validate a new segmental liver function test.

    Main Methods:

    • Animal studies (dogs) to correlate remaining liver volume with function.
    • Indocyanine Green (ICG) plasma disappearance and retention rate measurements.

  • Hepatic vein catheterization and segmental ICG extraction rate measurement in clinical cases.

    • Main Results:

    • Established a 1:1 ratio for ICG(K) postop. = ICG(K) preop. x functional remaining rate in dogs.
    • Determined that volumetric ratio alone is insufficient for clinical cases with cirrhosis/cancer.
    • Demonstrated accurate preoperative estimation of postoperative hepatic function using segmental testing.

    Conclusions:

    • A novel segmental liver function test enables accurate preoperative estimation of postoperative hepatic function.
    • This method allows for safer and more efficient major hepatectomies.
    • Improved preoperative assessment enhances surgical outcomes in liver cancer patients.
