Non-Anatomic Resection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma; Comparative Study of Bipolar Radiofrequency Device (Habib 4X) versus Ultrasonic Shear (Harmonic Scalpel)

Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the 5th most common malignancy worldwide with a high prevalence in Nile Delta associated with HCV infection. Anatomical liver resection is poorly tolerated in cirrhotic patients. Various devices are used to control bleeding during parenchymal transection. Of these, Harmonic Scalpel and Habib™ 4x sealer are in common use.

Patients and Methods: This study involved 50 patients with HCC managed by non-anatomical liver resection at the National Liver Institute, Menoufiya University and Gastro-intestinal Surgery Department, Tanta University, Egypt during the period from March 2011 to December 2013. All patients were of child class A, had resectable HCCs and with a good performance status. Patients were randomly divided into 2 equal groups, Group (A) underwent non-anatomical liver resection using Habib™ 4x sealer (RITA Medical Systems Inc, Freemont, California) and Group (B) underwent non-anatomical liver resection using Harmonic Scalpel (Johnson and Johnson Medical, Ethicon, Cincinnati, OH, USA).

Results: The two study groups were matched regarding demographics, clinical presentation, hepatitis virus status, preoperative imaging, laboratory data and previous therapeutic interventions. Three patients (12%) in group (A) required other haemostatic techniques during parenchymal transection, while all patients (100%) in group (B) required these techniques (P<0.0001). The estimated intraoperative blood loss in group (A) was 327.5±184.6 ml vs 662.0±355.7 ml in group (B) (p<0.001). The operative time was 163.2±28.8 min in group (A) vs 188.6±43.0 min in group (B) (P<0.018). Postoperatively, 20 patients (80%) in group (A) needed ICU admission (2.56±2.1 days) vs 23 patients (92%) in group (B) (3.24±2.9 days) (P<0.526). The mean hospital stay was 13.2±4.2 days in group (A) vs 15.3±5.1 days in group (B) (P<0.308). Resection margins were –ve in all patients in group (A) while +ve in 2 patients (8%) in group B. Post-operative liver functions developed marked affection in group (A) in comparison to group (B). In group (A), 3 patients (12%) developed intra-abdominal collections vs 3, 2, 5 and 1 patients developed postoperative intra-abdominal bleeding, bile leakage, intra-abdominal collections and portal vein thrombosis respectively in group (B). The 6-month recurrence rate was 6/25 patients (24%) in group (A) vs 9/25 patients (36%) in group (B) (P<0.452). The 6-months mortality rate was 3/25 patients (12%) in group (A) vs 4/25 patients (16%) in group (B) (P<0.387).

Conclusions: Despite the small sample size, using Habib™ 4x sealer for parenchymal transection in non-anatomical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic patients seems to be superior to Harmonic scalpel

Respuesta de SAGES al Estudio NordICC sobre el beneficio de las colonoscopias de detección

SAGES desea aclarar los resultados del estudio NordICC y colocarlos en contexto de los esfuerzos de varias agencias nacionales para reducir el riesgo de cáncer colorrectal – la segunda causa de muerte por cáncer más frecuente en los Estados Unidos-, mediante la promoción de la detección y tratamiento oportuno de las lesiones.

SAGES Response to NordICC Study Regarding Benefit of Screening Colonoscopies

The NordICC Study recently published in The New England Journal of Medicine and widely reported on by media outlets has raised questions regarding the benefit of screening colonoscopy in lowering the risk of colorectal cancer and cancer-related deaths among otherwise healthy and symptom-free men and women aged 55 to 64. Provocative headlines and commentaries have […]
