Objective To review the clinical experience and evaluate the results in patients who underwent caudate lobectomy for malignant tumor at caudate lobe of liver. Methods Clinicopathological characteristics of 51 patients who underwent caudate lobectomy because of malignant tumors at caudate lobe of liver in our hospital from May 2007 to December 2013 were reviewed retrospectively, and operative detail, complication rate, and survival rate were described. Results The cancer were resected successfully in 51 patients with malignant tumors at caudate lobe of liver. Thirty patients were performed isolated caudate lobectomy and 21 patients performed combined lobectomy. Of the 51 patients, 9 patients were treated with retrograde caudate lobectomy. The operation time was 180.0-360.0 min, with the average value of 244.0 min. The bleeding volume was 400.0-1 000.0 mL, with the average value of 630.0 mL. In all patients, there was no perioperative death and no postoperative bleeding happened, and 17 patients who suffered from interrelated complications were cured or got better by conservative treatments. Fifty-one patients were followed up for 6-60 months, and the median survival time was 38.0 months. During the follow-up period, 29 patients dead, 21 patients suffered from recurrence, and 12 patients suffered from metastasis. The cumulative survival rates of 1-, 3-, and 5-year were 76.1%, 54.7%, and 31.8% respectively after caudate lobectomy. Conclusion The caudate lobectomy in treatment of malignant tumor at caudate lobe of liver is effective and feasible.
