Neue Erkenntnisse über die Anatomie und Funktion der Leber haben dazu geführt, dass heute die chirurgische Resektion die Therapie der Wahl bei Lebermetastasen geworden ist. Obschon Lebermetastasen ein fortgeschrittenes Tumorstadium bedeuten, werden infolge besserer Kenntnisse der Karzinogenese (Mikrometastasen etc.) sowie der prognostischen Risikofaktoren erwiesenermassen die besten Langzeitresultate durch die chirurgische Resektion erzielt. In dieser Studie wurden die Ergebnisse von 109 Resektionen von kolorektalen sowie nicht kolorektalen Lebermetastasen an unserer Klinik während eines Zeitraumes von 59 Monaten zusammengefasst. Vier verschiedene Operationsverfahren (formelle Hemihepatektomie vs Segmentresektion vs atypische Resektion vs Biopsie) wurden untersucht. Die Einhaltung eines Resektionsabstandes von mindestens 10 mm wurde bei Resektionen immer angestrebt. Die kumulierte Morbidität aller Operationsverfahren zusammen betrug 23%. Obwohl die Morbidität bei ausgedehnten Resektionen höher war (Encephalopathie 16% vs 2.3% bei der Segmentresektion, Leberinsuffizienz 23% vs 4.7%), war das Langzeitüberleben gegenüber den limitierten Resektionsverfahren verbessert. Die 60-Tage Mortalität lag bei 2.7%. Patienten nach Resektion von kolorektalen Lebermetastasen hatten eine höhere Ueberlebensrate als diejenigen nach Resektion nicht kolorektaler Metastasen. Unsere Resultate zeigen, dass die Leberresektion heutzutage unter Einhaltung der anatomischen sowie funktionellen Grenzen (inkl. eines adäquaten Resektionsrandes) die einzige, potentiell kurative Therapie von Lebermetastasen darstellt. Trotz erhöhter perioperativer Morbidität ist die ausgedehnte formelle Resektion den limitierten Operationsverfahren bezüglich Langzeitüberleben überlegen. Ein Grund dafür ist die erhöhte Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Mitresektion von präoperativ nicht detektierbaren lokalen Mikrometastasen.

AbstractDiaphragmatic resection may be required beneath the diaphragm in some patients with liver tumors. Laparoscopic diaphragmatic resection is technically difficult to secure in the surgical field and in suturing. We report a case of successful laparoscopic hepatectomy with diaphragmatic resection. A 48-year-old man who underwent laparoscopic partial hepatectomy for liver metastasis of rectal cancer 20 months ago underwent surgery because of a new hepatic lesion that invaded the diaphragm. The patient was placed in the left hemilateral decubitus position. The liver and diaphragm attachment areas were encircled using hanging tape. Liver resection preceded diaphragmatic resection with the hanging tape in place. Two snake retractors were used to secure the surgical field for the inflow of CO2 into the pleural space after diaphragmatic resection. The defective part of the diaphragm was repaired using continuous or interrupted sutures. Both ends of the suture were tied with an absorbable suture clip without ligation. In laparoscopic liver resection with diaphragmatic resection, the range of diaphragmatic resection can be minimized by performing liver resection using the hanging method before diaphragmatic resection. The surgical field can be secured using snake retractors. Suturing with an absorbable suture clip is conveniently feasible.

Background Reports on safety and feasibility of liver resection in patients 80 years and older are very limited.Objective Here, we intend to analyze the perioperative outcomes of liver resections in octogenarians performed at a single tertiary level teaching hospital over a ten years period.Method Retrospective review of the medical records (between 2004 to 2014) of patients of the defined age group was performed. Clinicopathological features, indications, extent of resections, intraoperative parameters, postoperative complications and final outcome were analyzed. Findings were compared with similar studies published in literature.Result Total 19 (11 male, 8 female, maximum age 85 years) patients of the study group underwent liver resection during the defined period. Commonest indication was colorectal liver metastasis (9 patients). One patient had pancreaticodudenectomy for periampullary malignancy four years prior to present with liver metastasis and subsequently had liver resection for recurrence of disease. Except one, all had open surgery. Types of resection ranged from sub segmental to major right (8 patients) and left (1 patient) hepatectomy. Total 3 (27%) out of 11 patients on whom drain was not placed required radiological drainage of abdominal collection. One patient developed liver abscess postoperatively and was also successfully drained under radiological guidance. Only 2 (10.5%) had prolonged Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay and remaining patients were discharged to ward after 24 hrs of observation in high dependency/Intensive care unit. Median hospital stay was 11 days. Postoperative complications were 3 of grade II, 4 of grade IIIa, 1 of IIIb and 2 of IVa. Total 9 patients were discharged to rehabilitation centers and remaining 10 could be discharged home. There was 0% mortality.Conclusion In appropriately selected cases, when performed in specialized tertiary centers excellent perioperative outcomes of liver resections can be achieved even in patients of 80 years of age and above.Kathmandu University Medical Journal Vol.13(1) 2015; 19-23

Objective To compare the short- and long-term outcomes of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) versus liver resection and chemotherapy for liver metastases from gastric cancer. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 50 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy and local treatments for liver metastases (RFA, n = 20; liver resection, n = 20; and chemotherapy, n = 10) from 2008 to 2018. Results The short- and long-term outcomes of each local treatment were evaluated. The median overall survival (OS) after RFA was similar to that after liver resection (20 vs. 20 months, respectively) and longer than that after chemotherapy (20 vs. 10 months, respectively). The 3-year OS and progression-free survival (PFS) rates after RFA were 20% and 10%, respectively, while those in the liver resection group were 23.5% and 23.5%, respectively. The 3-year OS rate after chemotherapy was 10%. The size and number of metastases were prognostic factors for patients with gastric cancer with liver metastasis without statistical significance. Conclusions Among patients with liver metastasis from gastric cancer, OS and PFS were satisfactory and comparable between RFA and liver resection but better than those of chemotherapy. RFA is an appropriate option for patients with gastric cancer who have a solitary liver metastasis measuring ≤3.0 cm.
