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.

Aim: comparative analysis of peri-operative results of laparoscopic and open liver resections for hepatocellular carcinoma.Matherial and methods. A retrospective analysis included 73 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent liver resection from 2014 to 2019. In patients with liver cirrhosis contraindications were: 2 degree of varicose veins of eosophagus, severe ascites, liver cirrhosis class B and C (Child–Pugh)Results. Average operation time in comparing groups did not differ. Bloodloss (502 ml and 1380 ml), frequancy of complications by Clavien–Dindo (32.6% and 55.5%), duration of post-operative hospital stay (8 days and 13,6 days) were significantly less in the group of patients with laparoscopic liver resection (р < 0.05). In the early postoperative period, 2 (2.7%) patients died due to sepsis and posthepatectomy liver failure. There were no fatal outcomes in the group of laparoscopic liver resections.Conclusion. Laparoscopic liver resections for hepatocellular carcinoma has advantages in terms of prevention intraoperative bloodloss, and allow to reduce perioperative complications and post-operative hospital stay. This is important for rapid recovery of patients and for prompt ongoing of complex treatment.

A prolonged ascitic leak through abdominal drains is a source of postoperative complications and of prolonged postoperative hospital stay after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhotic patients. Therefore we elected to abstain from routine abdominal drainage in the last 14 resections in cirrhotic livers. A significantly smaller number of patients had postoperative complications following liver resections without drainage (7%) than historical controls with abdominal drainage (59%, p < 0.01). The number of complications related to ascites was significantly greater in patients with abdominal drainage (76%) than without (0%, p < 0.001). Postoperative hospital stay was also significantly longer following resections with abdominal drainage (19 ± 4 days) than in patients without (12 ± 1 days, p < 0.01). The long postoperative hospital stay in patients with abdominal drainage was related to ascitic discharge for a mean period of 13 ± 10 days. No clinically significant accumulation of ascites was noted in patients without drainage. A more frequent utilization of hepatic vascular inflow occlusion did not account for the better results in the group of patients without drainage. These results suggest that routine abdominal drainage should not be used following liver resection for HCC in cirrhotic patients. This appears to be another of the technical details improving postoperative results in these patients.

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

In this study, we try to compare the benefit of laparoscopic versus open operative procedures.Patients and Methods. One hundred and sixteen patients underwent laparoscopic liver resection (LR) and another 208 patients went for open liver resection (OR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Patients' selection for open or laparoscopic approach was not randomized.Results. The CLIP score for LR and OR was 0.59 ± 0.75 and 0.86 ± 1.04, respectively, (). The operation time was 156.3 ± 308.2 and 190.9 ± 79.2 min for LR and OR groups, respectively. The necessity for blood transfusion was found in 8 patients (6.9%) and 106 patients (50.9%) for LR and OR groups. Patients resumed full diet on the 2nd and 3rd postoperative day, and the average length of hospital stay was 6 days and 12 days for LR and OR groups. The complication rate and mortality rate were 0% and 6.0%, 2.9% and 30.2% for LR and OR groups, respectively. The 1-yr, 3-yr, and 5-yr survival rate was 87.0%, 70.4%, 62.2% and 83.2%, 76.0%, 71.8% for LR and OR group, respectively, of non-significant difference. From these results, HCC patients accepted laparoscopic or open approach were of no significant differences between their survival rates.

Abstract Aim “Spigelian hernia is uncommon and accounts for only 0.12–2% of all abdominal hernias. It is mandatory to perform surgical correction and in recent years the laparoscopic approach is gaining ground. The authors pretend to demonstrate a video of an outpatient laparoscopic repair of Spigelian hernia.” Material and Methods “53-year-old woman with a left Spigelian hernia referred to laparoscopic repair via intraperitoneal approach.” Results “The patient was submitted to laparoscopic correction with a Ventralex® mesh. The surgery went without any complication and under 30 minutes. A few hours after the surgery, the patient was discharged. In the follow-up appointment, the patient had no complaints or evidence of recurrence.” Conclusions “Spigelian hernias are rare and have a mandatory surgical indication. Traditionally, open surgical repair is most commonly used. However, laparoscopic approach is becoming increasingly popular since it allows faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, and less pain, with no commitment to recurrence. Currently, there are no studies that demonstrate the superiority of a laparoscopic technique (intraperitoneal, TAPP or TEP). The intraperitoneal route is a simple, faster, and easily reproducible approach.”

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 &lt; 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.
