Published: June 2021

Purpose: To study the trends, techniques, outcomes and improvisations of liver resections over the study period.

Methods: We analysed prospectively maintained database of patients undergoing liver resections for oncological indications at Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai, India from June 2010 to October 2016.

Results: Five hundred sixteen patients were operated with median age of 55 years and male to female ratio of 1.6:1. Most commonly operated neoplasms were hepatocellular carcinoma (N = 166), cholangiocarcinoma (N = 72) and metastases from colorectal cancer (N = 129). We performed 219 major hepatic resections (≥3 segments) with overall morbidity of 22.9% (N = 118) and mortality of 4.0% (N = 21). Complex hepatectomies were performed in 78 patients. In order to study the time trends, data was divided into pre-liver clinic era and post liver clinic era. Trend analysis showed improvements in complication grade, hospital stay, blood loss, and overall survival status in post liver clinic era. Liver transection in all our patients was carried out without Pringle manoeuvre under normotensive anaesthesia, only 0.7% of our patients had significant transaminitis beyond POD 5.

Conclusion: A dedicated multidisciplinary treatment approach along with standardization of liver resections culminates into optimal treatment outcomes.

Carbon dioxide gas emboli is a potentially fatal complication that occurs more frequently during laparoscopic hepatectomy compared to other laparoscopic surgeries. The patient featured in this report had massive gas embolism confirmed by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) that were associated with episodes of severe hypoxemia, hemodynamic instability, and right ventricular failure requiring conversion to open hepatectomy. Abrupt abdominal decompression resulted in massive hemorrhage from a previously undetected defect in the middle hepatic vein.

Tenofovir vs. Entecavir on the prognosis of hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma patients after liver resection: the role of HBsAg levels.

Clin Transl Gastroenterol

January 2025

Division of Liver Surgery, Department of General Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China.

Background: Our study aimed to explore whether hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels affected the role of nucleot(s)ide analog treatment (entecavir (ETV) and tenofovir (TDF)) in improving the prognosis of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after liver resection.

Methods: A total of 865 HBV-related HCC patients after hepatectomy treated with TDF or ETV were included in our study. Patients were divided into the high HBsAg cohort (n=681) and the low HBsAg cohort (n=184).

Intracellular CIRP promotes liver regeneration via STAT3 signaling pathway activation after partial hepatectomy in mice.

Int J Mol Med

March 2025

National Local Joint Engineering Research Center for Precision Surgery and Regenerative Medicine, Shaanxi Provincial Center for Regenerative Medicine and Surgical Engineering, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, Shaanxi 710061, P.R. China.

Cold‑inducible RNA‑binding protein (CIRP) is a cold shock protein implicated in the regulation of multiple biological processes depending on its cellular localization. However, to the best of our knowledge, the role of CIRP in liver regeneration and injury after hepatectomy has not been investigated. The present study was therefore designed to explore whether CIRP is involved in liver regeneration after hepatectomy and its specific role and underlying molecular mechanism.

Background & Aims: Body composition is an objective assessment reflecting nutritional status and is highly gender different. Surgical resection, the standard treatment for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is an energy-consuming major operation that would affect body composition. However, the impacts of body composition on the post-operative prognosis of HCC are still uncertain.
