Abstract:
Safe introduction of laparoscopic partial liver resection (LPLR) requires the selection of appropriate cases not exceeding the surgeon's skills as well as standardization of surgical procedures. After introduction at our institution, 60 LPLR procedures were performed between April 2010 and May 2016. To identify indices for case selection, short-term perioperative parameters were analyzed, including operative time, blood loss, postoperative complications, and postoperative hospital stay. Operative time was significantly shorter in the last 30 cases compared with the first 30 cases (182.5 min vs. 253 min; p＝0.023) and in 16 cases involving the left lobe (S2-4) compared with 44 cases involving the right lobe (S1, S5-8; 148.5 min vs. 246 min; p＝0.004). Blood loss was significantly less (0 mL vs. 50 mL; p＝0.028) and operative time was significantly shorter (185 min vs. 250 min; p＝0.048) in 27 cases with tumor diameter ＜2.5 cm compared with 33 cases with tumor diameter ≥ 2.5 cm. Operative time tended to be longer in 9 cases of multiple-site resection compared with 51 cases of single-site resection (207 min vs. 260 min; p＝0.085). BMI, pathology, and hepatitis virus status showed no significant difference in perioperative short-term results. For the introduction of LPLR, it may be preferable to select cases located in the left lobe with a tumor diameter ＜2.5 cm and to accumulate a certain amount of experience in similar cases first.
