Abstract

Resection of hepatocellular carcinoma located in the caudate lobe is challenging because this anatomical location is difficult to approach, especially the caval portion. We performed resection of the caval portion of the caudate lobe using a ventral approach combined with the resection of segment IV, VII, or VIII for hepatocellular carcinoma in 41 patients (extended segmentectomy group). As a control group, 138 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent segmentectomy for IV, VII, or VIII (segmentectomy group) were studied. We compared surgical outcomes, including postoperative morbidity and survival, between the 2 groups. When compared with the segmentectomy group, platelet count was lower (12.8 × 104/µL [range, 2.4-33.8] vs 14.8 × 104/µL [3.2-41.4], P = .085), operation time was significantly longer (442 minutes [range, 184-710] vs 333 minutes [131-810], P < .001), blood loss was significantly greater (579 mL [range, 25-2688] vs 301 mL [10-3887], P = .001), and the percentage of patients with cirrhosis was greater (19 [46.3%] vs 41 [29.7%], P = .059) in the extended segmentectomy group. However, the morbidity rate (48.7% and 33.3%, P = .096) and median overall survival period (5.2 years; [95% confidence interval, 4.6...Continue Reading
