Summary

Delayed hepatic resection is a safe and effective treatment for ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), offering comparable outcomes to standard resection. However, inferior tumor rupture increases recurrence risk.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Transcatheter arterial embolization is common for ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but hepatic resection is required for a cure.
  • The study evaluates the efficacy of delayed hepatic resection in patients with ruptured HCC.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the effectiveness and safety of delayed hepatic resection for ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
  • To assess survival rates and recurrence patterns following delayed hepatic resection for ruptured HCC.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 10 patients who underwent delayed hepatic resection for ruptured HCC.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, surgical procedures, tumor characteristics, and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The study included 10 male patients with a mean age of 63 years.
  • Mean interval from rupture to resection was 74 days; liver function was generally normal pre-operatively.
  • 1- and 3-year survival rates were 77% and 48%, respectively; recurrence occurred in 7 patients, particularly with inferior tumor rupture.

Conclusions:

  • Delayed hepatic resection for ruptured HCC is a safe procedure with outcomes comparable to standard HCC resection.
  • Patients with HCC rupturing in an inferior location face a higher risk of tumor dissemination and recurrence.
