Laparoscopic Hepatectomy for Giant Hepatic Hemangioma:Analysis of 23 Cases / 中国微创外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic hepatectomy for giant hepatic hemangioma . Methods We retrospectively evaluated treatment outcomes of 23 cases of giant hepatic hemangioma undergoing laparoscopic hepatectomy from January 2010 to August 2013.The surgery was carried out by using the method of priority block or ligation of the feeding artery of hepatic hemangioma . Results Total laparoscopic hepatectomy was accomplished in 22 patients and a conversion to open surgery was required in 1 patient because of hepatic vein bleeding .There were 8 cases of left lateral segmentectomy , with a mean operative duration of (131 ±36) min, mean blood loss of (105 ±68) ml, and mean postoperative hospital stay of (4.9 ±1.6) d.There was 1 case of left lateral combined Spiegel segmentectomy , with an operative duration of 180 min, blood loss of 200 ml, and postoperative hospital stay of 6 d.There were 4 cases of left hemihepatectomy , with respective operative durations of 210 min, 80 min, 180 min, and 180 min, blood loss of 150 ml, 700 ml, 200 ml, and 100 ml, and postoperative hospital stay of 5 d, 5 d, 6 d, and 6 d.There was 1 case ofⅣ,Ⅴ, andⅧsegmental hepatectomy , with the operative duration of 420 min, blood loss of 1400 ml and postoperative hospital stay of 8 d.There were 2 cases of right hemihepatectomy , with respective operative durations of 240 min and 260 min, blood loss of 800 ml and 400 ml, and postoperative hospital stay of 12 d and 7 d.There were 2 cases of right posterior lobe hepatectomy , with respective operative durations of 180 min and 190 min, blood loss of 200 ml and 400 ml, and postoperative hospital stay of 8 d and 7 d.There were 4 cases of Ⅲ,Ⅵnonanatomical segmental hepatectomy , with respective operative durations of 110 min, 150 min, 120 min, and 120 min, blood loss of 100 ml, 200 ml, 200 ml, and 120 ml, and postoperative hospital stay of 5 d, 6 d, 5 d, and 5 d.No operative death was seen.Postoperative complications occurred in 2 cases, including 1 case of hydrothorax and 1 case of bile leakage.All the patients were followed up for 3 -12 months ( mean, 6 months ) and no recurrence was found . Conclusions Laparoscopic hepatectomy of hepatic hemangioma is safe and feasible .Priority block or ligation of feeding artery of hepatic hemangioma can reduce the blood supply of tumor and be convenient for operation .Application of multiple methods of liver blood inflow occlusion flexibly and proper management of cutting surface of liver can ensure the operation successfully .
