An T, Wang Y, Liu L, Wang Y, Deng L, Wu M. Effect of Pringle maneuver on prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases after liver resection: a meta-analysis. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2024; 409:53. [PMID: 38316643 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-024-03248-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Pringle maneuver (PM) is a double-edged sword in liver resection, which is beneficial in reducing blood loss but also causes ischemia-reperfusion injury which may stimulate the outgrowth of micrometastases. The impact of PM on tumor recurrence remains controversial. This study aimed to assess whether PM has effect on the prognosis of colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) after hepatectomy. METHODS PubMed and the Cochrane Library databases were searched. The PM is defined as the portal triad clamping for several minutes, followed by several minutes of reperfusion, repeated as needed. Prolonged PM was defined as continuous clamping ≥ 20 min or ≥ 3 cycles for maximally 15-min intermittent ischemia. RESULTS Eleven studies encompassing 4054 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled hazard ratio (HR) did not show significant differences between PM and non-PM groups for disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 0.91, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.76-1.11, P = 0.36) and overall survival (HR = 1.03, 95% CI 0.76-1.39, P = 0.87). Subgroup analysis revealed that prolonged PM has adverse impact on DFS (HR 1.75, 95% CI = 1.28-2.40, P = 0.0005). However, non-prolonged PM is a protective factor for DFS (HR 0.82, 95% CI = 0.73-0.92, P = 0.001). CONCLUSION These findings suggested that prolonged PM may have an adverse impact on the DFS of patients with CRLM and non-prolonged PM is a protective factor for DFS. Further prospective multicenter studies are warranted.

Abstract
Hepatic pedicle clamping reduces intraoperative blood loss and the need for transfusion, but its long-term effect on survival and recurrence remains controversial. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of the Pringle maneuver (PM) on long-term oncological outcomes in patients with primary or metastatic liver malignancies who underwent liver resection. Literature was searched in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Medline (via PubMed), and Web of Science databases. Survival was measured as the survival rate or as a continuous endpoint. Pooled estimates were represented as odds ratios (ORs) using the Mantel–Haenszel test with a random-effects model. The literature search retrieved 435 studies. One RCT and 18 NRS, including 7480 patients who underwent liver resection with the PM (4309 cases) or without the PM (3171 cases) were included. The PM did not decrease the 1-year overall survival rate (OR 0.86; 95% CI 0.67–1.09; P = 0.22) or the 3- and 5-year overall survival rates. The PM did not decrease the 1-year recurrence-free survival rate (OR 1.06; 95% CI 0.75–1.50; P = 0.75) or the 3- and 5-year recurrence-free survival rates. There is no evidence that the Pringle maneuver has a negative effect on recurrence-free or overall survival rates.

Prognostic Impact of Pedicle Clamping during Liver Resection for Colorectal Metastases. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 13:cancers13010072. [PMID: 33383844 PMCID: PMC7795154 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13010072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2020] [Revised: 12/23/2020] [Accepted: 12/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Pedicle clamping (PC) during liver resection for colorectal metastases (CRLM) is used to reduce blood loss and allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT). The effect on long-term oncologic outcomes is still under debate. A retrospective analysis of the impact of PC on ABT-demand regarding overall (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in 336 patients undergoing curative resection for CRLM was carried out. Survival analysis was performed by both univariate and multivariate methods and propensity-score (PS) matching. PC was employed in 75 patients (22%). No increased postoperative morbidity was monitored. While the overall ABT-rate was comparable (35% vs. 37%, p = 0.786), a reduced demand for more than two ABT-units was observed (p = 0.046). PC-patients had better median OS (78 vs. 47 months, p = 0.005) and RFS (36 vs. 23 months, p = 0.006). Multivariate analysis revealed PC as an independent prognostic factor for OS (HR = 0.60; p = 0.009) and RFS (HR = 0.67; p = 0.017). For PC-patients, 1:2 PS-matching (N = 174) showed no differences in the overall ABT-rate compared to no-PC-patients (35% vs. 40%, p = 0.619), but a trend towards reduced transfusion requirement (>2 ABT-units: 9% vs. 21%, p = 0.052; >4 ABT-units: 2% vs. 11%, p = 0.037) and better survival (OS: 78 vs. 44 months, p = 0.088; RFS: 36 vs. 24 months; p = 0.029). Favorable long-term outcomes and lower rates of increased transfusion demand were observed in patients with PC undergoing resection for CRLM. Further prospective evaluation of potential oncologic benefits of PC in these patients may be meaningful.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatectomy remains an important curative treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Intermittent Pringle maneuver (IPM) is commonly applied during hepatectomy for control of bleeding. Whether the ischemia/reperfusion injury brought by IPM adversely affects the operative outcomes is controversial. This study aims to examine whether the application of IPM during hepatectomy affects the long-term outcomes. METHODS Two randomized controlled trials (RCT) have been carried out previously to evaluate the short-term outcomes of IPM. The present study represented a post hoc analysis on the HCC patients from the first RCT and all patients from the second RCT, and the long-term outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS There were 88 patients each in the IPM group and the no-Pringle-maneuver (NPM) group. The patient demographics, type and extent of liver resection and histopathological findings were comparable between the two groups. The 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival in the IPM and NPM groups was 92.0%, 82.0%, 72.1% and 93.2%, 68.8%, 58.1%, respectively (P = 0.030). The 1-, 3-, 5-year disease-free survival in the IPM and NPM groups was 73.6%, 56.2%, 49.7% and 71.6%, 49.4%, 40.3%, respectively (P = 0.366). On multivariable analysis, IPM was a favorable factor for overall survival (P = 0.035). Subgroup analysis showed that a clamp time of 16-30 min (P = 0.024) and cirrhotic patients with IPM (P = 0.009) had better overall survival. CONCLUSION IPM provided a better overall survival after hepatectomy for patients with HCC. Such survival benefit was noted in cirrhotic patients, and the beneficial duration of clamp was 16-30 min. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT00730743 and NCT01759901 ( http://www.clinicaltrials.gov ).

Abstract
Intermittent hepatic pedicle clamping (HPC) is often performed during hepatectomy. Whether it affects the long-term prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients is still controversial. This study evaluated the impact of HPC in patients with different stages of HCC. The study included 1401 patients who underwent hepatectomy in the primary cohort with 129 AJCC stage IIIB HCC patients; there were 80 AJCC stage IIIB HCC patients in the validation cohort. In each cohort, patients were placed in the long-term HPC (LTHPC) group or the short-term HPC (STHPC) group based on the cut-off time of HPC estimated by the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Although HPC did not show significant effects on the prognosis of stage I–IIIA HCC patients in the primary cohort, 1−, 3−, and 5-year overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates of stage IIIB HCC patients who received LTHPC (HPC time > 12 minutes) were significantly higher than those with STHPC (HPC time ≤ 12 minutes or received no HPC), similar in the validation cohort. Multivariate analysis demonstrated HPC time was an independent protective factor for RFS and OS in stage IIIB HCC patients. Herein, we report that proper HPC improved the postoperative prognosis of stage IIIB HCC patients and served as an independent protective factor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic vascular inflow occlusion (VIO) can be applied during resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) to control intra-operative blood loss, but has been linked to accelerated growth of micrometastases in experimental models. This study aimed to investigate the effects of hepatic VIO on disease-free and overall survival (DFS and OS) in patients following resection for CRLM. METHODS All patients who underwent liver resection for CRLM between January 2006 and September 2015 at our center were analyzed. Hepatic VIO was performed if deemed indicated by the operating surgeon and severe ischemia was defined as ≥20 min continuous or ≥45 min cumulative intermittent VIO. Cox regression analysis was performed to identify predictive factors for DFS and OS. RESULTS A total of 208 patients underwent liver resection for CRLM. VIO was performed in 64 procedures (31%), and fulfilled the definition of severe ischemia in 40 patients. Patients with severe ischemia had inferior DFS (5-year DFS 32% vs. 11%, P < 0.01), and inferior OS (5-year OS 37% vs. 64%, P < 0.01). At multivariate analysis, a high clinical risk score (Hazard ratio (HR) 1.60 (1.08-2.36)) and severe ischemia (HR 1.89 (1.21-2.97)) were independent predictors of worse DFS. Severe ischemia was not an independent predictor of OS. CONCLUSION The present cohort study suggests that prolonged hepatic VIO during liver resection for CRLM was associated with reduced DFS. A patient-tailored approach seems advisable although larger studies should confirm these findings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Portal pedicle clamping (PPC) may impact micro-metastases' growth. This study examined the association between PPC and survival after a hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). METHODS A matched cohort study was conducted on hepatectomies for CRLM at a single institution (2003-2012). Cohorts were selected based on PPC use, with 1:1 matching for age, time period and the Clinical Risk Score. Outcomes were overall and recurrence-free survival (OS and RFS). Cox regression was performed to assess the association between PPC and survival. RESULTS Of 481 hepatectomies, 26.9% used PPC. One hundred and ten pairs of patients were matched in the cohorts. There was no significant difference in OS [hazard ratio (HR) 1.18; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.76-1.83], with a 5-year OS of 57.8% (95%CI: 52.4-63.2%) with PPC versus 62.3% (95%CI: 57.1-67.5%) without. Five-year RFS did not differ (HR 0.98; 95%CI: 0.71-1.35) with 29.7% (95%CI: 24.9-34.5%) with PPC versus 28.0% (95%CI: 23.2-32.8%) without. When adjusting for extent of resection, transfusion, operative time and surgeon, there was no difference in OS (HR 0.91; 95%CI: 0.52-1.60) or RFS (HR: 0.86; 95%CI: 0.57-1.30). CONCLUSIONS PPC was not associated with a significant difference in OS or RFS in a hepatectomy for CRLM. PPC remains a safe technique during hepatectomy.

Abstract
Surgical site events, including surgical site infections (SSI), represent a major problem in general surgery. SSI are responsible of nuisance for patients, and can lead to important complications and disability, often needing prolonged postoperative stay with specific treatment and recovery in Intensive Care Units. These justify the higher costs due to SSI. Despite the growing body of evidence concerning SSI in general surgery, literature dealing with SSI after colorectal surgery is scarce, reflecting in suboptimal perception of such a relevant issue by colorectal surgeons and health authorities in Italy, though colorectal surgery is associated with higher rates of SSI. The best strategy for reducing the impact of SSI on costs of care and patients quality of life would be the development of a preventive bundle, similar to that adopted in the US through the colorectal section of the National Surgery Quality Improvement Project of the American College of Surgeons (ACS-NSQIP). This policy has been showed to significantly reduce the rates of SSI. In this scenario, incisional negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is likely to play a pivotal role. We herein reviewed the literature to report on the current status of preventive NPWT on surgical wounds of patients undergoing colorectal procedures with primary wound closure, suggesting evidence-based measures to reduce the impact of SSI, and to contain the costs associated with conventional NPWT devices by means of newer available technologies. Some explicative real life cases are presented.

Abstract
AIM To investigate whether the long-term outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was adversely impacted by intermittent hepatic inflow occlusion (HIO) during hepatic resection. METHODS 1549 HCC patients who underwent hepatic resection between 1998 and 2008 were identified from a prospectively maintained database. Intermittent HIO was performed in 931 patients (HIO group); of which 712 patients had a Pringle maneuver as the mechanism for occlusion (PM group), and 219 patients had selective hemi-hepatic occlusion (SO group). There were 618 patients that underwent partial hepatectomy without occlusion (occlusion-free, OF group). RESULTS The 1-, 3-, and 5- year overall survival (OS) rates were 79%, 59%, and 42% in the HIO group, and 83%, 53%, and 35% in the OF group, respectively. The corresponding recurrence free survival (RFS) rates were 68%, 39%, and 22% in the HIO group, and 74%, 41%, and 18% in the OF group, respectively. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in OS or RFS (P=0.325 and P=0.416). Subgroup analysis showed patients with blood loss over 3000 mL and those requiring transfusion suffered significantly shorter OS and RFS. Blood loss over 3000 mL and blood transfusion were independent risk factors to OS and RFS. CONCLUSIONS The application of intermittent HIO (PM and SO) during hepatic resection did not adversely impact either OS or RFS in patients with HCC. Intermittent HIO is still a valuable tool in hepatic resection, because high intraoperative blood loss resulting in transfusion is associated with a reduction in both OS and RFS.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common clinical challenge. Despite accumulating evidence regarding its mechanisms and potential therapeutic approaches, hepatic I/R is still a leading cause of organ dysfunction, morbidity, and resource utilization, especially in those patients with underlying parenchymal abnormalities. In the oncological setting, there are growing concerns regarding the deleterious impact of I/R injury on the risk of post-surgical tumor recurrence. This review aims at giving the last updates regarding the role of hepatic I/R and liver parenchymal quality injury in the setting of oncological liver surgery, using a "bench-to-bedside" approach. Relevant medical literature was identified by searching PubMed and hand scanning of the reference lists of articles considered for inclusion. Numerous preclinical models have depicted the impact of I/R injury and hepatic parenchymal quality (steatosis, age) on increased cancer growth in the injured liver. Putative pathophysiological mechanisms linking I/R injury and liver cancer recurrence include an increased implantation of circulating cancer cells in the ischemic liver and the upregulation of proliferation and angiogenic factors following the ischemic insult. Although limited, there is growing clinical evidence that I/R injury and liver quality are associated with the risk of post-surgical cancer recurrence. In conclusion, on top of its harmful early impact on organ function, I/R injury is linked to increased tumor growth. Therapeutic strategies tackling I/R injury could not only improve post-surgical organ function, but also allow a reduction in the risk of cancer recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic pedicle clamping (HPC) has been demonstrated to be effective for short-term outcomes during hepatic resection. However, HPC-induced hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury can accelerate the outgrowth of hepatic micrometastases in experimental studies. The conclusive evidence regarding effects of HPC on long-term patient outcomes after hepatic resection for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) has not been determined. METHODS A comprehensive electronic literature search was performed to identify studies evaluating the oncological effects of HPC after hepatic resection for CRLM. The main outcome measures were intrahepatic recurrence (IHR), disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS). A meta-analysis was performed using the random-effects models to compute odds ratio (OR) along with 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS Four studies, with a total of 2,114 patients (73.7% HPC, 26.3% non-HPC), matched the inclusion criteria. Meta-analyses revealed that IHR (OR 0.88; 95% CI 0.69-1.11; P = 0.27), DFS (OR 0.88; 95% CI 0.70-1.10; P = 0.27) and OS (OR 0.99; 95% CI 0.79-1.24; P = 0.90) did not differ significantly between the HPC and non-HPC groups. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis provides persuasive evidence that HPC during hepatic resection for CRLM has no significant adverse oncological outcomes. HPC should be considered an option during parenchymal liver resection from current available evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver resection offers a chance of cure for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hepatic pedicle clamping (HPC) is commonly used to reduce blood loss during hepatectomy. Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury has recently been reported to be a major factor in accelerated tumor growth. We therefore evaluated the effect of intermittent HPC on the prognosis of patients after liver resection. METHODS The clinicopathological features and serum/tissue samples of 386 HCC patients who underwent curative liver resection were prospectively collected. The patients were divided into the HPC group (over 30 min) and the non-HPC group. Disease-free survival and overall survival were analyzed using multivariate analyses, Kaplan-Meier curves, and log-rank tests. Matrix metalloproteinases and E-selectin were measured to study hepatic I/R injury. RESULTS The preoperative clinicopathological data were comparable between the HPC group (n = 224) and the non-HPC group (n = 162). During the study period, 257 of the 386 patients (66.6 %) developed tumor recurrence. The overall tumor recurrence and intrahepatic tumor recurrence rates were not significantly different between the two groups. There were no significant differences between the two groups with respect to the 1-, 3-, and 5-year disease-free and overall survival rates. Similarly, subgroup analyses also showed no marked difference in survival rates for patients with cirrhosis in the two groups. The levels of mRNA in liver tissues and serum concentrations of MMP-2, MMP-9, and E-selectin showed no significant differences between the pre- and post-occlusion periods. CONCLUSIONS Intermittent HPC produced no adverse effect on disease-free and overall survival for patients who underwent liver resection for HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Aminotransferases are commonly used to determine the optimal duration of ischemic intervals during intermittent Pringle maneuver (IPM). However, they might not be responsive enough to detect small differences in hepatocellular damage. Liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) has been suggested as a more sensitive marker. This randomized trial aimed to compare hepatocellular injury reflected by L-FABP in patients undergoing liver resection with IPM using 15 or 30 min ischemic intervals. METHODS Twenty patients undergoing liver surgery were randomly assigned to IPM with 15 (15IPM) or 30 (30IPM) minutes ischemic intervals. Ten patients not requiring IPM (noIPM) served as controls. Primary endpoint was hepatocellular injury during liver surgery reflected by systemic L-FABP plasma levels. Between group comparisons were performed using area under the curve and repeated measures two-way ANOVA. RESULTS The IPM groups had similar characteristics. Aminotransferases did not differ significantly between 15IPM and 30IPM at any time point. L-FABP levels rose up to 1853±708 ng/ml in the 15IPM and 3662±1355 ng/ml in the 30IPM group after finishing liver transection and decreased rapidly thereafter. There were no significant differences between 15IPM and 30IPM in cumulative L-FABP level (p=0.378) or L-FABP level at any time point (p=0.149). Blood loss, remnant liver function and morbidity were comparable. CONCLUSIONS IPM with 15 or 30 min ischemic intervals induced similar hepatocellular injury measured by the sensitive marker L-FABP. The present study confirms the results of earlier trials, suggesting that IPM with 30 min ischemic intervals may be used.

Abstract
Although experience with the laparoscopic approach for liver resection has increased in recent years, it still remains a challenging procedure. One of the manoeuvres to reduce catastrophic haemorrhage is occlusion of hepatic inflow by compression of the hepato-duodenal ligament, the so-called Pringle's manoeuvre. One of the limitations of laparoscopic liver resection is the safe placement of a tape around the hepato-duodenal ligament to facilitate intermittent clamping of the porta-hepatis (Pringle's manoeuvre) prior to hepatic transection. We present a novel, safe and efficient technique that has evolved during this series of laparoscopic liver resections.

Abstract
Allogeneic blood transfusion during liver resection for malignancies has been associated with an increased incidence of different types of complications: infectious complications, tumor recurrence, decreased survival. Even if there is clear evidence of transfusion-induced immunosuppression, it is difficult to demonstrate that transfusion is the only determinant factor that decisively affects the outcome. In any case there are several motivations to reduce the practice of blood transfusion. The advantages and drawbacks of different transfusion alternatives are reviewed here, emphasizing that surgeons and anesthetists who practice in centers with a high volume of liver resections, should be familiar with all the possible alternatives.
