The role of liver resection (LR) in patients with non-tumoral hepatic disease (NTHD) remains controversial.
OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the indications and outcomes of liver resections in patients with NTHD.
METHODS:
A retrospective analysis in a multicentric data base was performed. Outcome measures were incidence of postoperative cholangitis, infectious and non-infectious complications, hospital stay and overall mortality.
RESULTS:
One hundred and fourteen patients underwent LR due to NTHD from January 2001 to November 2011. Fourteen patients presented complex bile duct injuries (CBDI), 18 intra-hepatic lithiasis (IL), 32 liver hydatid cysts (LHC), 10 polycystic liver disease (PLD), 19 Carolis disease (CD) and 21 other NTHD. Forty seven patients underwent a major hepatectomy and 67 a liver segmentectomy or an atypical liver resection. Thirty four patients (29
