Abstract:
PURPOSE: Hepatic resection is the treatment of choice for small malignant tumor, intrahepatic cholelithiasis having normal liver function and so on. Partial hepatectomy for liver disease has been performing more commonly than the past. Postoperative mortality and morbidity are decreasing as the operative technique is developed. This report describes a review of our experience for hepatic resection and an analysis of potential risk factors affecting the morbidity and the mortality in a hepatectomy. METHODS: Between Jan. 1997 and Mar. 2001, we performed 112 cases of partial hepatectomy and retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological features of the cases. RESULTS: The most common disease needing hepatic resection was intrahepatic duct stone (46). The mean operative time was 377 minutes. The overall in-hopital mortality and morbidity rates were 6.8% (6/112) and 25% (59/112), respectively. Various postoperative complications developed; 16 wound infections (14.2%), 6 Bile leakage (5.3%), 6 intraabdominal abscess (5.3%), 5 cardiopulmonary complications (4.4%), 2 hepatic failure (1.7%), 2 postoperative bleeding (1.7%). The old had more cardiopulmonary complications. The significant risk factors for perioperative mortality were preoperative serum bilirubin level, alkaline phosphatase, prothrombin time, partial prothrombin time, perioperative transfusion and bleeding. CONCLUSION: This paper presents risk factors of hepatectomy in our hospital. The results state importance of selection of patients and perioperative bleeding managements to reduce of morbidity and mortality of hepatectomy.
