Background : The aim of this study to analyze outcomes of laparoscopic hepatectomy done at our centre.
Method : It is a retrospective evaluation of prospectively maintained data from 41 consecutive patients; who underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy for various benign and malignant lesions, between January 2012 upto March 2016.
Result : Out of total 41 patients, 28 were males and 13 females with mean age of 59.3 ± 16.2 years. Cirrhosis was noted in 21.4%(n=9). Twenty five patients (61%) underwent major hepetectomy (Right hepatectomy-31.7%, left hepatectomy–29.3 %) while left lateral sectorectomy in 9 patients (21.9%). Mean blood loss was186.46± 187.22 mL with mean operating time of 242.07±77.7 minutes. Mean ICU stay was 2.58±1.68 days. Majority of resections (70.7%) were performed for malignant lesions (n=29), among which hepatocellular carcinoma accounted for 55.2% (n=16). Eight patients (19.5%) had major complications (Clavien Dindo Grade III to V). Median length of hospital stay was 9 days (range 5-21 days). Resection margins were more than 2 cm in majority(51.7%) of resections for malignancy . only 13.8% (n=4) resections for malignancy achieved less than 1 cm margin.
On multivariate analysis, CTP score (p = 0.049), operating time (p = 0.007) and Clavien-Dindo grade (p=0.049) were found to be statistically significant with hospital stay. We have 2.4% mortality Mean follow up was 20.48± 14.2 months.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic hepatectomy for benign as well as malignant pathology is feasible and safe as there was no major intraoperative adverse events, in experienced centre with skilled surgeon.
