Introduction. Laparoscopic liver resection is considered risky in cirrhotic patients, even if minor surgical trauma of laparoscopy could be useful to prevent deterioration of a compromised liver function. This study aimed to identify the differences in terms of perioperative complications and early outcome in cirrhotic patients undergoing minor hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma with open or laparoscopic technique. Methods. In this retrospective study, 156 cirrhotic patients undergoing liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma were divided into two groups according to type of surgical approach: laparoscopy (LS group: 23 patients) or laparotomy (LT group: 133 patients). Perioperative data, mortality, and length of hospital stay were recorded. Results. Groups were matched for type of resection, median number of nodules, and median diameter of largest lesions. Groups were also homogeneous for preoperative liver and renal function tests. Intraoperative haemoglobin decrease and transfusions of red blood cells and fresh frozen plasma were significantly lower in LS group. MELD score lasted stable after laparoscopic resection, while it increased in laparotomic group. Postoperative liver and renal failure and mortality were all lower in LS group. Conclusions. Lower morbidity and mortality, maintenance of liver function, and shorter hospital stay suggest the safety and benefit of laparoscopic approach.

Objective: To determine the frequency of high MELD score in cirrhotic patients undergoing liver resection due to hepatocellular carcinoma also compare the frequency of mortality in patients with high or low MELD score. Study Design: Cross sectional study Place and Duration: Department of Gastroenterology, Shaikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore. Duration: 6months i.e. 23 12-2017 to 22-06-2018. Methodology: 75 patients were enrolled. Then blood sample was obtained. Reports assessed and MELD score calculated. Scores were labeled as high or low. Patients underwent liver resection according to BCLC. The mortality was noted. All the collected data was entered and analyzed on SPSS version 22. Results: In this study out of total 75 cases 60 were males and 15 females. The mean age of patients was 39.44±9.76 years, male to female ratio was 4:1. Low MELD class was noted in 45 (60%) cases and high MELD class noted in 30(40%) cases. Mortality occurred in 27(36%) cases. Insignificant difference found between the MELD class with mortality. Conclusion: High MELD score was seen in 40% cirrhotic patients undergoing liver resection due to HCC. Post HCC resection, mortality occurred in 36% patients within three months of surgery. No significant association was found between the mortality and MELD score. Keywords: MELD, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Mortality, Cirrhosis

Abstract Background Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) has been progressively developed along the past two decades. Liver surgery was one of the last frontiers reached by minimally invasive surgery. Surgical technique and equipment evolved to overcome technical limitations, making laparoscopic liver resections (LLR) safe and feasible. Surgeons developed skills in a stepwise approach, beginning with low complexity operations for benign diseases and reaching high-complexity surgeries for malignant cases and living donor organ harvesting. Objective s: The aim of the study is to compare short term results of laparoscopic versus open hepatectomy regarding to intra operative details and post-operative management and complications for achieving a safe hepatic resection for treatment of HCC in cirrhotic patients. Patients and Methods In this prospective study, a comparison between laparoscopic resection and open resection was done to compare short-term results between laparoscopic and open liver resection. This study was conducted on 30 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. 15 patients (50%) were treated by laparoscopic liver resection (Group A) while the other 15 patients (50%) were treated by open liver resection (Group B). Results Regarding the demographic data, the presence of past history of medical condition and the preoperative laboratory results, no statistical significance was found. The mean operative time has statistically significant difference between the 2 groups, with decreased operative time in the laparoscopic group (P < 0.001). The mean blood loss has no statistically significant difference relations between the 2 groups, (P = 0.866) with conversion rate of (13.3%) happened in two cases. Conclusion Laparoscopic liver resection is a safe and feasible treatment option for HCC in cirrhotic patient needing minor resection at laparoscopic segments (II, III, IVa,V,VI). Laparoscopic liver resection for HCC has superior short- term and comparable oncological outcomes to open liver resection. LLR should be performed for carefully selected patients and by an expert surgical team.

Huge Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Background: With the current high incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), more patients even with large and huge HCC are considered for liver resection.Methods: Medical records of consecutive adult cirrhotic patients who underwent partial hepatectomy for huge HCC (≥10 cm, huge HCC group) versus small HCC (<5 cm, small HCC group) at Sohag university hospital (January 2016 to December 2020) were analyzed. Both groups were compared regarding postoperative morbidity and risk of mortality following post hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) as defined by the 50-50 criteria (50% mortality occurs among patients who developed increased plasma bilirubin >50 μml/l and reduced prothrombin activity <50% on postoperative day 5 (POD-5).Results: Thirty two patients were enrolled (16 per group), with median age of 56 (range 38-81) years, 22 were males. In correlation with resection of more liver segments in the huge HCC group, post hepatectomy alteration of liver functions (bilirubin rise and reduction of albumin and prothrombin concentration) was significantly pronounced among patients who had resection for huge compared with small HCC (p<0.05). Huge HCC group exhibited significantly worse postoperative complication score (p< 0.05) and needed significantly prologed periods of hospital stay (p<0.05). Concurrent persistence of PHLF and thrombocytopenia until POD-5 occurred in 3 patients (2 with huge HCC and 1 with small HCC). Among those patients, only one from huge HCC group died (mortality 6%) postoperatively.Conclusions: Liver resection provides safe and effective treatment strategy for carefully selected cirrhotic patients with huge HCC.
