ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate laparoscopic hepatectomy for the treatment of primary liver cancer. Methods Nine patients with primary liver cancers at segment Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅴ, Ⅵ and at the edge of the liver underwent laparoscopic partial hepatectomy with hand-assist devices, harmonic scalpel, and Endo-GIA. Results All operations were successful including resection of tumors involving both Ⅱ and Ⅲ segments, and irregular segmentectomy, and 2 cases with additional laparoscopic splenectomy. Surgery lasted for 80~145 min. Intraoperative bleeding was 150~700 ml, with no postoperative complications. Patients were followed-up for 5~25 months with intrahepatic tumor recurrence on 3rd, 4th and 13rd month in one each respectively. Conclusion Hand-assisted laparoscopic partial hepatectomy is a safe and feasible approach for primary liver cancer in clinically selected patients.
