Objective To evaluate different clinical effects of three inflow occlusion methods in hepatectomy including pringle maneuver （Pringle group），selective portal venous exclusion （SPVE group）， and Glissonean pedicle exclusion （SGSE group）. Methods The clinical data of patients underwent the liver resection with the above liver inflow occlusion methods were retrospectively analyzed. The operation time， inflow occlusion time， amount of intraop-erative blood loss， transfusion rate， and postoperative hepatic function and complication rate were compared for each group. Results There were not significant difference of preoperative conditions，operation time， inflow occlusion time，tumor character， postoperative liver function， hospital time，and ICU time （P＞0.05）. The amount of intraoperative blood loss and rate of blood transfusion of SGSE group were significantly less （lower） than those Pringle group and SPVEgroup （P＜0.05）. In addition to the first day after operation， the AST and ALT at other time point of SPVE group and SGSE group were improved than that Pringle group （P＜0.05）， while TBIL at the third and fifth day after operation ofPringle group were improved （P＜0.05）. The complication rates of SPVE group and SGSE group were significantly lowerthan that of Pringle group （P＜0.05）. Conclusions In the similar operatin time and inflow occlusion time，Glissonean pedicle exclusion method can control the intraoperative blood loss and blood transfusion better，and can promote the patientrecovery. Besides， the inflow occlusion methods should be selected based on the practical condition of patients.
ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between perioperative blood transfusion and hepatic postoperative infection. MethodsOne hundred and thirty patients undergoing hepatic operation were analyzed retrospectively on the relation of perioperative blood transfusion with postoperative infective morbidity and mortality in the period 1989-1999. The patients were divided into blood transfused group and nontransfused group. The major or minor hepatectomy was performed in 53 patients with hepatic malignancy and benign diseases. ResultsIn the blood transfused group, the infective morbidity and perioperative mortality rate was 38.5% and 16.7% respectively, significantly higher than those in nontransfused group (11.5% and 3.8% respectively), P＜0.05. The total lymphocyte count was lower in transfused group than that in nontransfused group. The postoperative antibiotics used time and length of hospital stay were (9.7±4.2) days and (18.7±13.1) days respectively in transfused group than those in nontransfused group (5.3±2.3) days and (12.7±5.2) days respectively. ConclusionThe results suggest that hepatic postoperative infective morbidity and mortality are related with perioperative blood transfusion. Any strategy to reduce blood loss in liver surgery and decrease blood transfusion would be helpful to lower postoperative infective morbidity.
ObjectiveTo summarize the experiences of precise liver resection for giant complex hepatic neoplasm. MethodsFifty-two cases of giant complex hepatic neoplasms were resected using precise liver resection techniques from April 2008 to August 2009. Hepatic functional reserve and liver imaging were evaluated before operation. Appropriate surgical approach, halfhepatic blood flow occlusion, new technique of liver resection, and intraoperative ultrasonography were applied during operation. ResultsThe mean operative time, halfhepatic blood occlusion time, blood loss, recovery of alanine aminotransferase, and total bilirubin were 350 min (210－440 min), 43 min (8－57 min), 370 ml (250－1 150 ml), 10 d (7－14 d), and 4.5 d (3－10 d), respectively. Only 6 patients had mild bile leakage. No liver failure and other major complications emerged, and no death happened. ConclusionPrecise liver resection is a safe and effective approach for giant complex hepatic neoplasm.
Objective To refine the technique of portal inflow occlusion and parenchymal transection for laparoscopic hepatectomy in the porcine model. Methods Ten pigs were used. The portal inflow complete or selective occlusion was carried out with portal triad clamping or dissection and division of the left portal pedicle. The sequential laparoscopic local hepatectomy, left lateral lobectomy, and left medial lobectomy were performed without portal inflow occlusion. Parenchymal transection was performed with harmonic scalpel, LigaSure, microwave dissector, bipolar electrocautery, surgical clips, and endoscopic stapler. The efficacy and safety of different techniques in laparoscopic parenchymal transection of the liver were compared. Results The ischemic liver was darken with complete or selective portal triad clamping. The ischemic demarcation line between left and right lobe was obvious with the dissection and division of the left portal pedicle. There was an applicable scope of each hepatic parenchymal transection apparatus. The optimal combination of different techniques could increase efficacy and reduce hemorrhage in laparoscopic parenchymal transection of the liver. Conclusion Technical refinements of portal inflow occlusion and parenchymal transection in porcine models could provide evidences to clinical appliance of laparoscopic anatomic major hepatectomy.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of intermittent Pringle (IP) and continuous hemi-hepatic vascular inflow occlusion (CHVIO) on the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) complicated with cirrhosis in laparoscopic liver resection (LLR).MethodsRetrospective analysis of consecutive 107 LLR patients with HCC complicated with liver cirrhosis at West China Hospital of Sichuan University between January 2015 and December 2017 was performed. Patients were divided into an IP group and a CHVIO group according to the method of hepatic vascular occlusion, intraoperative and postoperative outcome indicators and short-term prognosis were compared between the two groups.ResultsPatients in the IP group had shorter operative time [(237+90) min vs (285+118) min, P=0.041] and less blood loss [(279+24) mL vs (396+35) mL, P=0.012], without a significant increase in postoperative liver function [including ALT, AST, TBIL, and ALB], postoperative complications, induced flow, 1-year disease-free survival, and1-year survival (P>0.05).ConclusionsIP can reduce the operative time and blood loss in patients with HCC complicated with cirrhosis in LLR, and will not lead to deterioration of liver function, it is a recommended hepatic inflowocclusion method.
ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy and safety of three different modes of blood flow blocking in hepatectomy for primary hepatocellular carcinoma.MethodsThe clinical data of 152 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent hepatectomy and postoperative pathology examination in our department in recent 3 years (2017–2020) were retrospectively analyzed. According to the modes of intraoperative hepatic blood flow occlusion, the patients were divided into three groups: intermittent Pringle method (IPM) group (41 cases), IPM was applied only; hemihepatic group (35 cases), hemihepatic blood flow blocking method was used only; and combined group (76 cases), combined hemihepatic blood flow blocking method and IPM. SPSS software was used to compare the differences of the three groups’ general data, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative liver function indexes. The changes of transaminase levels in the three groups were observed dynamically.ResultsBaseline data of the three groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in operative time, the number of resected liver segments, blood transfusion rate, incidence of complications, and postoperative length of stay among the three groups (all P>0.05). The intraoperative blood loss of the combined group and the IPM group were significantly less than that of the hemihepatic group (P<0.05). There was no difference in blood loss between the combined group and the IPM group (P>0.05). However, the blocking times in the combined group were significantly less than those in the IPM group (P<0.05). The transaminases in the three groups were close to the preoperative level on the fifth day after operation. Conclusions In hepatectomy of primary hepatocellular carcinoma, the three blocking modes are safe and effective. The combined application of hemihepatic blood flow blocking method and intermittent Pringle method can significantly reduce intraoperative blood loss, reduce the number of blocking, and do not aggravate the liver function injury.
【Abstract】 ObjectiveTo review the advances in techniques of hepatic blood occlusion in hepatectomy. Methods The related literatures were reviewed and analysed. ResultsThere were many techniques of hepatic blood occlusion. The most frequently used and studied techniques were hemihepatic vascular occlusion and intermittent hepatic inflow occlusion. Hepatic vascular exclusion was employed when hepatic veins and/or vena cava would be damaged. Total vascular exclusion and other techniques were rarely used. Conclusion To reduce blood loss in hepatectomy and make patient safe, based on the situation of the patient, the technique should be ingeniously selected.
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical application effect of descending hilar plate technology in laparoscopic heminephrectomy for intrahepatic bile duct calculus.MethodsThe clinical data of 40 patients with intrahepatic bile duct calculus who underwent laparoscopic heminephrectomy in our hospital from January 2015 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were grouped according to different surgical procedures, 21 patients with Pringle method of total hepatic vascular exclusion were classified in the control group, and 19 patients with descending hilar plate technology of blood occlusion technology were classified in the observation group. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative hospital stays, liver function recovery, and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the intraoperative bleeding volume and operation time (P>0.05), but the postoperative hospital stays in the observation group shortened (P=0.025). The changes on the ALT, TB, and AST in the observation group was obvious than those of the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant incidence between the two groups in the total incidence of complications (P=0.128).ConclusionsCompared with Pringle method of total hepatic vascular exclusion, descending hilar plate technology in laparoscopic heminephrectomy can fully expose the Glisson pedicles of the left and right livers, and it is convenient to implement hemihepatic blood flow occlusion. It has less damage to healthy side of the liver and quicker liver function recovery, and it can reduce postoperative complications and shorten postoperative hospital stay.
