Area of Science:

  • Pediatric surgery
  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Surgical oncology

Context:

  • Liver resections in children present unique surgical challenges.
  • A significant change in surgical tactics, technique, and anesthesia occurred in 1990.
  • This study compares outcomes before and after this pivotal change.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the impact of modified surgical techniques and anesthesia on pediatric liver resection outcomes.
  • To compare mortality and survival rates between two distinct surgical periods.
  • To assess the effectiveness of current liver resection methods in managing pediatric liver tumors.

Summary:

  • 34 major liver resections were performed between 1986-1993 in children.
  • The study divided patients into two groups based on surgical period (1986-1989 vs. 1990-1993).

  • Outcomes including operative mortality, early/late deaths, and survival rates were analyzed, showing significant improvement in the second period.

    • Impact:

    • Operative mortality decreased from 25% to 0%.
    • Early mortality decreased from 25% to 4.5%.
    • Patient survival increased from 33% to 86.5%, with a notable improvement in survival for malignant tumors (15% to 83% without relapse).
