Abstract:
Objective To analyze the clinical data of patients with post-hepatectomy haemorrhage (PHH) and to discuss the treatment strategies.Method The clinicopathologic data of patients with PHH between 2005-2014 in the HPB Surgery Ward I,Peking University Cancer Hospital,were studied retrospectively.Results In the study period of 10 years,25 of 1 548 patients who underwent hepatectomy suffered from PHH,and 76％ (19/25) of these patients had underlying liver diseases.The common surgical operations followed by PHH were right hemihepatectomy (11/25),and segment Ⅶ/Ⅷ resection (8/25).The median time for PHH to be diagnosed was 27 h,and the median time from diagnosis of postoperative bleeding to reoperation or intervention was 3.5 h.Using the classification of PHH by the International Study Group of Liver Surgery (ISGLS),there were 1 patient in grade A,16 patients in grade B,and 8 patients in grade C.The perioperative mortality of PHH was 8％ (2/25).The most common bleeding site was from the hepatic artery.Conclusions PHH is a serious complication after liver resection,with low occurrence but high mortality.Most patients with PHH can be managed by conservative treatment.Emergency reoperation is required when instability in vital signs appears.Careful evaluation before operation,strict hemostasis during operation,and close monitoring after operation can effectively reduce the incidence and mortality of PHH.
