Objective To systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) versus open hepatectomy (OH) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Databases including PubMed, EMbase, MEDLINE, SCI, CNKI, CBM, WanFang Data and The Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2012) were searched to collect the randomized controlled trails (RCTs) and non-RCTs about LH versus OH for HCC. The retrieval time was from inception to August 2012. The studies were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the data were extracted and the quality was evaluated by 2 reviewers independently. Then the meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.1 software. Results A total of 13 non-RCTs involving 701 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: Compared with OH, LH had lesser amount of intraoperative bleeding (MD=?144.09, 95%CI ?194.25 to ?93.94, Plt;0.000 01), shorter hospital stay (MD=?5.48, 95%CI ?7.10 to ?3.85, Plt;0.000 01), and lower postoperative complications (OR=0.43, 95%CI 0.27 to 0.66, P=0.000 1). But there were no differences between the 2 groups in operation time (MD=?0.64, 95%CI ?22.95 to 21.68, P=0.96), perioperative death rate, 3-5 year survival rate, and tumor free survival rate. Conclusion LH is superior to OH in treating HCC for it is associated with smaller wound, lesser operative blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and lower postoperative complications. And it is similar as OH in operation time, perioperative death rate and 3-5 year survival rate. So LH is safe and feasible for treating HCC when its indications are strictly controlled. However, for the quantity and quality limitation of the included studies, this conclusion still requires to be further proved by performing large scale and high quality RCTs. It suggests that doctors should choose a best therapy for HCC patients according to an integrative disease assessment.
目的 探讨白试验在肝切除手术中检测漏胆的价值。方法 笔者所在医院2008年1月至2013年1月期间在肝切除手术中采用白试验联合干纱布擦拭法检测漏胆56例。即在肝切除手术操作末期，用干纱布擦拭法确认无漏胆后，经胆囊管或左右肝管插管注入5%无菌脂肪乳剂10～30mL，同时用手阻断远端胆总管。观察肝切除手术创面的白色液体渗出情况，对渗出白色液体处予以间断缝合。重复操作，至断面无白色液体渗出为止。结果 56例患者经术中检测，发现漏胆17例（漏胆检出率为30.4%），每例发现漏胆1～6处（平均2.9处），术中均予以确切缝合以关闭漏胆处，且重复试验操作，证实均再无漏胆。术后发生漏胆2例（3.6%），经相应治疗后痊愈出院。全部患者出院后均随访3～6个月（平均3.8个月），无膈下积液或膈下感染病例发生。结论 术中白试验能够发现漏胆的精确部位，不会污染肝切除手术创面，并能够无限次地重复试验，值得临床推广。
ObjectiveTo explore the curative effect of precise hepatectomy techniques in hepatolithus. MethodsTotally 132 patients underwent precise hepatectomy and 52 patients underwent irregular hepatectomy were retrospectively analyzed, and the intraoperative and postoperative indexes such as operation time, blood loss, postoperative complications, hospitalization time, clearance rate of calculus, and cost of hospitalization were analyzed. ResultsCompared with the patients in irregular hepatectomy group, although the operative time was longer in precise hepatectomy group 〔(364.6±57.8) min vs. (292.9±44.7) min, Plt;0.001〕, but the patients in precise hepatectomy group had less blood loss 〔(558.3±90.6) ml vs. (726.7±88.7) ml, Plt;0.001〕, less postoperative complications (11.4% vs. 23.1%，P=0.004 3), and higher clearance rate of calculus (89.4% vs. 73.1%, P=0.005 5). Thus, the patients in precise hepatectomy group had shorter hospital stay 〔(22.9±4.4) d vs. (28.8±3.5) d, Plt;0.001〕 and less cost of hospitalization 〔(1.8±0.7)×104 yuan vs. (2.1±0.9)×104 yuan, P=0.016 5〕. Conclusion Precise hepatectomy is better than irregular hepatectomy in treatment for hepatolithus.
Objective To develop hepatic surgical planning software for hepatic operation on deciding the rational operational scheme and simulating procedures before the operation to accomplish the precise liver resection and decrease the operational risk. Methods3D-econstruction of liver was restored from spiral computed tomography (CT) data by using LiVirtue software. The liver and its anatomic structures were reconstructed to illuminate the location of the tumor and its related vessels to design a rational operational scheme. The virtul results, such as liver volume, hepatic sections, anatomy of portal vein and hepatic veins or possible operation plans, were compared with the actual situations during the operations. Results3D models of liver, tumor and their relative vessels were reconstructed successfully. Preoperative planning and intra-perative navigation based on the models ensured the safety of liver resection in our 32 cases of right lobe tumors. This preoperative simulation allowed surgeons to dissect the liver with reduced complications. These models could be also viewed and manipulated on personal computers.ConclusionThe LiVirtue is very helpful in the hepatic surgery, for clearly disclosing hepatic structures, rationally deciding operation schemes, virtually simulating the operations. This preoperative estimation from 3D model of liver benefits a lot to complicated liver resection.
Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features, postoperative survival and prognostic influencing factors of male patients with hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC）. Methods The clinicopathological features and the follow-up data of 155 male HCC patients who received hepatectomy from Jan. 1995 to Dec. 2002 were retrospectively analyzed and the prognostic influencing factors were defined by uni- and multi-variate analysis. Results Compared with 24 female patients at the same period, males were about six-year older and both of their hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and liver cirrhosis positive rates were higher (P＜0.05)， but there were no significant differences of the other clinicopathological parameters between the male group and the female group. Multivariate analysis showed that Edmondson-Steiner grade and portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) were two independent prognostic influencing factors of both the overall survival and the tumor-free postoperative survival of male patients with HCC, while satellite nodule and tumor size only influenced the overall survival. Conclusion The main clinicopathological features and the postoperative survival of male HCC patients were similar than those of female’s. Tumor differentiation and biological behaviors were major factors affecting postoperative survival of male patients with HCC.
Objective To discuss the effective surgical treatment of intrahepatic lithiasis combined with high hepatic duct strictures. MethodsTwo hundreds and sixteen cases of intrahepatic lithiasis and high hepatic duct strictures treated in this hospital from January 1993 to October 2002 were analysed retrospectively.ResultsOne hundred and eightythree cases underwent different selective operation by selected time; 33 cases complicated with acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis underwent emergency were performed single biliary drainage, in which 30 cases were reoperated. The operative procedure were: hepatic lobectomy,high cholangiotomy and plastic repair,exposure of hepatic duct of the 2nd and the 3rd order,and plastic repair with own patch and choledochojejunostomy.Two hundreds and six cases were cured,the curative rate was 95.4%; 8 cases improved (3.7%), and 2 cases died (0.9%).Conclusion The best effective surgical treatment of intrahpatic lithiasis is hepatic lobectomy. Exposure of hepatic duct of the 2nd and the 3rd order is a satisfactory to release the hepatic duct strictures and to clear the intrahepatic lithiasis. For patients with normal extrahepatic bile duct and Oddi’s function, plastic repair of bile duct with own patch is possible to keep the normal form and function. Cholangioscopy may play an important role in the treatment of intrahepatic tract lithiasis during operation.

Objective To study the effect of recombinant growth hormone (rhGH) on improvement of liver function and liver regeneration in animal and patients after hepatectomy. Methods The liver cirrhosis model of SD species mouse was set up, then the mouse were randomly divided into experiment group and control group, then 30%-40% liver of all the models were resected, rhGH was used by hypodermic injection (0.2-0.4ml/100g) in experimental group, and the equal dose of N.S. were given in control group every day. Then liver function, arterial blood ketone body ratio(AKBR), and the regenerated liver/body weight ratio (RL/W) were determined, histopathology of the cirrhosis with microscope and electron microscope and the mitotic index (MI) of liver cell on 7, 14 and 28th day after operation were observed. Clinically,39 hepatectomized patients were randomly divided into experiment group and control group, liver function, PA， Glu, RI and AKBR were measured preoperatively and on 1, 7,14th day after operation. Postoperative clinical course were also compared between the two groups. Results In the animal experiment group, as compared with the control group, AKBR was obviously higher (P＜0.01), seruim level of total protein and PA were increased faster (P＜0.05), and RL/W was higher. The mitotic index of liver cell was increased faster on 14th day, the numbers of regenerated liver cell with double nucleus and rough endoplasmic reticulum were higher in 14 and 28th day. In the clinical experiment group, as compared with the control group, serum total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were lower on 7 and 14th postoperative day (P＜0.05). Serum albumin, PA, Glu, RI and AKBR were higher on 7, 14th postoperative day (P＜0.05). Conclusion Both experimental and clinical study show that the rhGH can promote liver regeneration and improve liver function after hepatectomy.
