Summary
Laparoscopic hepatic resection offers a viable treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with poor liver function. This minimally invasive approach requires careful attention to potential complications like air embolism and hepatic vein injury.
Area of Science:
- Hepatobiliary surgery
- Minimally invasive surgical techniques
- Hepatocellular carcinoma management
Background:
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosis has improved, but resectability rates remain low due to advanced liver disease.
- Patients with poor liver function present significant challenges for surgical treatment of HCC.
