- Abstract: Objective To analyze the risk factors affecting liver regeneration after laparoscopic anatomic liver resection(LALR),and to explore the relationship between postoperative liver regeneration and the prognosis of patients.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 156 patients with liver cancer who underwent LALR treatment at the People's Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from January 2021 to December 2023.Three-dimensional liver reconstruction and simulated resection were performed based on CT examination,and the postoperative liver regeneration rate was calculated.The patients were divided into the high regeneration group and the low regeneration group based on the median liver regeneration rate 1 month after surgery,and the univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to analyze the risk factors affecting postoperative liver regeneration.The relationships between post-operative liver regeneration capacity and tumor-free survival rate and overall survival rate of patients were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve.Results Significant difference was observed between the future remnant liver volume(FRLV)1 week after operation and the remnant liver volume(RLV)after operation(P<0.05).The liver regeneration rates 1 month and 3 months after operation were significantly higher than that 1 week after operation(P<0.05).The net growth rate of liver volume 1 week after operation was significantly higher than that 1 month and 3 months after operation(P<0.05).The median liver regeneration rate 1 month after operation was 27.81%.Univariate analysis showed that gender,age,drinking history,combined with liver cirrhosis,preoperative predictional RLV,preoperative predictional standard residual liver volume(SRLV),and postoperative platelet count(PLT)were closely related to liver regeneration after operation(P<0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that combined with liver cirrhosis,and high preoperative predictional RLV and SRLV were the independent factors affecting liver regeneration after operation(P<0.05).The postoperative follow-up showed that the cumulative tumor-free survival rate of the high regeneration group was lower than that of the low regeneration group(61.20%vs.75.28%,Log-rank χ2=3.577,P=0.043),and there was no statistically significant difference in the cumulative overall survival rate between the two groups(74.63%vs.80.89%,Log-rank χ2=1.024,P=0.312).Conclusion For patients with liver cancer undergoing LALR,combined with liver cirrhosis,and high preoperative predictional RLV and SRLV are the independent risk factors influencing early postoperative liver regeneration.Moreover,the higher the patients' postoperative liver regeneration capacity,the lower the tumor-free survival rate.
