Laparoscopic Hepatectomy in 27 Cases / 中国微创外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic hepatectomy.Methods A total of 27 patients received laparoscopic hepatectomy by using laparoscopic Peng's multifunctional operative dissector(LPMOD).Among the patients,13 underwent anatomic hepatectomy(resection of the Ⅱ and Ⅲ segments in 3,Ⅴ segment in 1,Ⅵ in 7,Ⅴ and Ⅵ in 1,and Ⅴ,Ⅵ,Ⅶ,and Ⅷ segments in 1),and 14 received partial hepatectomy.Results The laparoscopic hepatectomy was accomplished successfully in all the patients without converting to open surgery.The mean operation time was 35-360 min [mean,(178.0?78.4) min];intraoperative blood loss was 35-1200 ml [mean,(451.7?332.6) ml];and the postoperative hospital stay was 2-14 d [mean,(8.4?3.0) d].No severe complication occurred after the operation.The postoperative pathological examinations showed hepatic hemangioma in 15,focal hyperplasia of the liver in 2,hepatocelluar carcinoma complicated with liver cirrhosis in 6,intrahepatic bile duct stone complicated with hyperplasia of the bile duct in 2,liver(hematoma) fibrosis in 1,and hepatic angiomyolipoma in 1.The patients were followed up for 1-26 months [mean,(7.9?7.4) months] by using B-ultrasonography or CT.No recurrence of hemangioma or carcinoma,tumor implantation at the puncture site,or residual stones in the intrahepatic bile duct was found in this series.Conclusion By using LPMOD,laparoscopic hepatectomy is safe and feasible for selected patients.
