Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo explore the significance of surgical treatment of HCC originating from caudate lobe.
METHODSFrom 1995 to 2003, caudate lobectomy, including 19 cases of isolated lobectomy and 20 cases of combined lobectomy, were performed in 39 patients with HCC originating from caudate lobe, and the factors that might influence postoperative liver function were compared between the two groups.
RESULTSAll tumors were resected successfully. One patient died of postoperative renal failure. Hydrothorax occurred in 3 patients, ascites in 4 patients, and bile leakage in 1 patient. The survival rates of 1, 3, 5 year were 53%, 50%, 39% respectively.
CONCLUSIONSCaudate lobectomy is a effective method for HCC originating from caudate lobe.
