Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the feasibility and practicality of laparoscopic hepatectomy for hepatic hemangioma.
METHODSCandidate for laparoscopic liver resection were 18 cases of hepatic hemangioma from January 2002 to October 2006. The portal bloods stream was blocked by the laparoscope portal blood blocker. The Electric-cautery and ultracision were used for liver transection. Operative procedures included anatomical left hepatectomy in 2 cases, non-anatomical left hepatectomy 1 case, left lobectomy 5 cases, local liver resection 10 cases. Two cases of hepatic hemangioma associated with gallbladder stone were performed cholecystectomy synchronously, 1 case associated with chronic appendicitis were performed appendectomy synchronously.
RESULTSLaparoscopic left liver resection was successfully performed in all 18 cases. The operative duration was (185.4 +/- 55.7) min. The quantity of blood lost during the operation was (416.2 +/- 128.8) ml. The postoperative recovery was smooth and good. No critical complications occurred. The duration for hospitalization was (6.2 +/- 1.0) d.
CONCLUSIONLaparoscope hepatectomy for hepatic hemangioma is safe and feasible.
