    Summary

    Hepatic resection is now a viable option for jaundiced patients, even with bile duct carcinoma or liver disease. Preoperative jaundice relief enables successful surgery with no operative mortality, improving patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary surgery
    • Surgical oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Jaundice in patients with biliary tract or liver malignancies presents significant surgical challenges.
    • Effective management of preoperative jaundice is crucial for improving surgical outcomes in these complex cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of hepatic resection in jaundiced patients with advanced hepatobiliary malignancies.
    • To determine if preoperative jaundice relief impacts operative mortality and postoperative recovery.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of fourteen jaundiced patients undergoing hepatic resection.
    • Preoperative management focused on relieving biliary obstruction and jaundice.
    • Surgical procedures included resection for carcinoma at the hepatic duct bifurcation, primary liver cancer, and congenital bile duct dilation.

    Main Results:

    • No operative mortality was observed in the cohort following successful preoperative jaundice relief.
    • Postoperative recovery was favorable, with absence of jaundice and fever in all patients.
    • Despite surgical success, nine patients experienced tumor recurrence during the follow-up period.

    Conclusions:

    • Hepatic resection is a safe and effective treatment for selected jaundiced patients with hepatobiliary malignancies when jaundice is preoperatively managed.
    • Preoperative jaundice management is key to achieving zero operative mortality in these high-risk surgical candidates.
    • Long-term survival remains a challenge due to tumor recurrence, necessitating further research into adjuvant therapies.
