IntroductionPatients presenting with cirrhosis and hepatic tumours represent a fragile group that have typically been avoided in early series of laparoscopic liver resection. This study was undertaken to evaluate the results of a laparoscopic hepatectomy in the setting of cirrhosis.
MethodsSubgroup analysis of patients with cirrhosis within a series of 327 patients undergoing a laparoscopic resection...
MethodsAn international database of 1499 laparoscopic liver resections was analysed using multivariate and Kaplan–Meier analysis.
ResultsIn total, 764 stapler hepatectomies (SH) were compared with 735 electrosurgical resections (ER). SH was employed in larger tumours (4.5 versus 3.8 cm; P < 0.003) with decreased operative times (2.6 versus 3.1 h; P < 0.001), blood loss (100 versus 200 cc; P...
We sought to compare the outcomes in patients with hepatic carcinoid tumor metastases treated with open versus laparoscopic liver resection.A retrospective analysis of our liver surgery database was performed. All patients who underwent liver resection for hepatic carcinoid tumor metastases were included. Patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the surgical approach. Patients with concomitant...
The role of socioeconomic factors that affect survival, particularly for hepatocellular cancer (HCC), has yet to be fully analyzed. This study attempts to elucidate those racial and socioeconomic factors that affect differences in survival for patients with HCC.In a retrospective cohort study of 206 patients with HCC diagnosed in an inner-city urban center from 2003 to 2011, outcomes by race (African...
