Abstract
Objective
The aim of our study was to retrospectively analyze 15 patients’ clinical materials with laparoscopic resection of liver neoplasms.
Methods
From December 2007, a total of 15 patients with liver neoplasms were performed with laparoscopic hepatectomy, and their clinical materials, perioperative dates, postoperative complications, postoperative recovery and short-term curative effects were analyzed and summarized respectively.
Results
Laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) were performed in 15 patients, including 1 case underwent laparoscopic hepatic left lobectomy, 1 case of left lateral hepatectomy, 13 cases of partial liver resection. Fourteen cases of total laparoscopic liver resections for liver neoplasms, 1 case of hand-assisted laparoscopic liver resection of the tumor, there was no conversion to open approach. Of the 15 patients with liver neoplasms, 13 cases of hepatic neoplasms with the maximum diameter was 8 cm × 8 cm × 9 cm, 9 cases of the borderline micro hepatocellular carcinoma (MHCC) with the diameter not more than 2 cm, 3 cases of hepatic benign tumor. The mean operation time was (120 ± 30) min, and the intraoperative average hemorrhage was 100 mL, beginning to eat and get out of bed following 1–2 days of operation. The average postoperative hospitalization was 8 days, WBC, ALT, AST, albumin, bilirubin returned to normal after one week of operation. There were no postoperative complications such as hemorrhage, bile leakage or air embolism etc. Twelve patients with HCC were confirmed by postoperative pathology, 1 case of liver smooth muscle lipoma, 2 case of hepatic hemangioma. By one year of followed-up in 12 cases of HCC, the longest survival was 38 months, and no recurrence or death, 1 year survival rate was 100%.
Conclusion
Among the choice of cases, the advantages of LH for liver neoplasms compared with open surgery were less trauma, faster recovery and less blood loss. it is safe and effective for choosing a reasonable surgical indication, especially for peripheral micro hepatocellular carcinoma.
