Use of indocyanine green-human serum albumin complexes in fluorescence image-guided laparoscopic anatomical liver resection: a case series study (with video). Surg Endosc 2024:10.1007/s00464-024-11295-8. [PMID: 39342539 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-024-11295-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2024] [Accepted: 09/13/2024] [Indexed: 10/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of near-infrared fluorescence-guided laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy (LAH) using a novel indocyanine green (ICG)-human serum albumin complex (HSA) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. METHODS Clinical data of hepatocellular carcinoma patients who underwent ICG-HSA fluorescence-guided LAH at our center from January 2024 to April 2024 were prospectively collected and analyzed. Ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy was used to test the absorption and stability of ICG-HSA complex solutions under different conditions. After determining the optimal ratio, the complex was administered intravenously during surgery to perform negative staining via Glissonean pedicle isolation. LAH was performed along the fluorescence-demarcated boundaries. RESULTS Thirty-one patients were included (24 men; mean age, 54.61 ± 13.54 years). The median maximum tumor diameter was 2.80 (interquartile range [IQR], 2.00-4.00) cm. S8 segmentectomy (22.6%) and right posterior segmentectomy (19.4%) were the most common resections performed. Successful fluorescence negative staining was achieved in all patients using ICG and HSA at a 1:6 molar ratio at room temperature. Mean operation time was 297.58 ± 85.53 min, Median intraoperative blood loss was 100.0 mL (IQR, 50.0-200.0). The median surgical margin distance was 0.90 cm (IQR, 0.40-1.50). The postoperative complication rate was 45.2% (35.5% Clavien-Dindo grade I and 9.7% grade II). The median length of hospital stay was 5.0 days (IQR, 4.0-5.0). CONCLUSION ICG-HSA-assisted LAH is safe and feasible. Compared with free ICG, the novel ICG-HSA complex exhibits better optical properties and in vivo stability, which can improve the accuracy of intraoperative liver segment localization and optimize the anatomical dissection plane. It has the potential to become an ideal fluorescent imaging agent for anatomical hepatectomy.

Anatomic Versus Non-anatomic Liver Resection for Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: A Systematic Review and Patient-Level Meta-Analysis. Ann Surg Oncol 2024:10.1245/s10434-024-16121-y. [PMID: 39251512 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-024-16121-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 08/19/2024] [Indexed: 09/11/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The current standard treatment for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) involves complete liver resection with negative surgical margins and lymphadenectomy, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Debate is ongoing regarding the necessity of systematic anatomic resection (AR). This study aimed to summarize existing literature to determine whether AR leads to better oncologic outcomes than non-AR for patients with resectable ICC. METHODS A systematic literature review (PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar) was performed until December 2023. Only studies comparing the oncologic outcomes of AR and non-AR for ICC using propensity score matching or inverse probability of treatment weighting were considered. A meta-analysis of aggregated data for perioperative variables and a reconstructed patient-level meta-analysis for survival data were performed. RESULTS Five articles were gathered (n = 930 patients after matching: 465 AR/465 non-AR patients). The overall survival (OS) rates were higher in the AR group than in the non-AR group at 1, 3, and 5 years (71.5%, 46.1% and 34.3% vs. 63.6%, 32.9%, and 24.8%, respectively; hazard ratio [HR] 0.74; 95% CI 0.63-0.87; P < 0.001). The same results were observed for the disease-free survival (DFS) rates (58.3%, 33.4%, and 24.5% for AR vs. 45.6%, 23.1%, and 17.4% for non-AR; HR 0.74; 95% CI 0.63-0.86; P < 0.001). The results were confirmed in the two-stage meta-analysis for OS (HR 0.73; P < 0.001) and DFS (HR 0.73; P < 0.001). No differences were observed between the two approaches in terms of operative time, intraoperative blood loss, overall and major morbidity, and hospital length of stay. CONCLUSIONS By pooling the available evidence, the current study demonstrated that AR for ICC patients is associated with better OS and DFS without any negative impact on postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With introduction of "cone unit," which is the smallest resectable anatomical area supplied by a tertiary branch of Glissonean pedicle, more precise subsegmental anatomical resection has been proposed.1 Super-selective intra-arterial ICG staining, delivering ICG and lipiodol mixing to arterial branch using interventional radiology, has been proved feasibility especially for complicated anatomy.2-6 It was difficult to uniformly mix water-soluble ICG with lipophilic lipiodol, rendering to inconsistency development of liver segment between angiography and laparoscopy. Nano-ICG is a uniform mixing of ICG and lipiodol.7 We demonstrated an exclusive "two-step" method to perform LAR for cranial S7 via super-selective intra-arterial nano-ICG staining guidance. METHODS A 70-year-old male was admitted. CT scan showed tumor was located in cranial S7 with 2.1*1.9 cm. Preoperative AFP was 4.66 ng/ml and PIVKA-II was 2332 mAU/ml. The liver function was Child-Pugh class A and ICG-15R was 7.8%. Given that tumor was confined to cranial S7, precise anatomical sub-segmentectomy was warranted. This study was approved by the West China Hospital, Sichuan University Ethics Committee (approval number: 2023-2327). RESULTS The operation was performed "two step." "First step" was super-selective intra-arterial nano-ICG embolization in intervention room, while "second step" was performed in operation room. ICG demarcation line was clearly identified even after 7 hr. After full mobilization of right hemiliver, we performed transparenchymal approach to find and clamp pedicle of cranial S7 under fluorescence guidance. Operation time was 150 min with 20 ml of blood loss with uneventful course. CONCLUSIONS Although LAR of S7 remains challenging, super-selective intra-arterial nano-ICG positive staining guidance might be a feasible and safe option.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited anatomic resections (LARs), such as segmentectomies, performed using a fully laparoscopic approach, have gained popularity for liver malignancies. However, the oncologic efficacy of laparoscopic LARs (Lap-LARs) needs further investigation. This cohort study evaluated the oncologic outcomes of Lap-LAR for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM). METHODS At a Japanese referral center, 112 patients underwent Lap-LAR using the Glissonean approach and indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence navigation. Recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), time to interventional failure (TIF), and time to surgical failure (TSF) were assessed. RESULTS Among the 112 patients (median age, 74 years [range, 66-80 years]; 80 men [71.4 %]), Lap-LAR showed promising results. The median operative time was 348 min (range, 280-460 min), and the median blood loss was 190 mL (range, 95.5-452.0 mL). The median error between the estimated and actual liver volumes was 2 % (1.2-4.8 %). Complications greater than Clavien-Dindo 3a were observed in 11.6 % of the patients. The 5-year RFS, OS, and TIF rates for HCC were 45.1 % ± 7.9 %, 73.1 % ± 6.7 %, and 74.2 % ± 6 .6 %, respectively. The 5-year RFS, OS, and TSF rates for CRLM were 36.8 % ± 8.7 %, 60.1 % ± 13.3 %, and 63.6 % ± 10.4 %, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Lap-LAR showed favorable oncologic outcomes for HCC and CRLM. Its precise technique makes it a promising therapeutic option for liver malignancies. Further comparisons with conventional approaches are warranted.

Abstract
To analyze the feasibility and clinical effect of novel intraoperative navigation of real-time virtual sonography (RVS) combined with indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent imaging technology in anatomical liver resection (ALR) for hepatocellular carcinoma. The clinical data of 41 patients who underwent ALR using RVS intraoperative navigation combined with ICG fluorescent imaging technology in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of Peking University International Hospital from January 2020 to May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. RVS was applied to guide the surgical plane through fusing real-time intraoperative ultrasound images with corresponding preoperative CT or MRI images. Operation methods, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, operative margin, hospital stay and postoperative complications were analyzed. The 1-year overall survival rate and tumor-free survival rate of patients were followed up by outpatient review or telephone calls. ALR surgery was performed on each of 41 patients. There were no deaths during perioperative period and postoperative complications occurred in 7 cases (17.1%). The postoperative pathological examinations demonstrated all cases of hepatocellular carcinoma and negative operative margins. The 41 patients were followed up for 12 to 20 months, with a median follow-up time of 14 months. The overall survival rate 1 year after surgery was 100.0% (41/41), 3 patients (7.3%) experienced tumor recurrence, and the tumor-free survival rate of 1 year after surgery was 92.7% (38/41). In conclusion, novel intraoperative navigation of RVS combined with ICG fluorescent imaging technology is safe and feasible in anatomical segmental hepatectomy of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
Accurate minimally invasive anatomic liver (sub)segmentectomy (MIAS) is technically demanding and not yet standardized, and its surgical outcomes are undefined. To study the impact of the minimally invasive approach on perioperative outcomes of anatomic liver (sub)segmentectomy (AS), we retrospectively studied and compared perioperative outcomes of 99 open AS (OAS) and 112 MIAS (laparoscopic 77, robotic 35) cases using the extrahepatic Glissonean approach, based on the 1:1 propensity score matched analyses. After matching (71:71), MIAS was superior to OAS in terms of blood loss (p < 0.0001), maximum postoperative serum total bilirubin (p < 0.0001), C-reactive protein (p = 0.034) levels, R0 resection rate (p = 0.021), bile leak (p = 0.049), and length of hospital stay (p < 0.0001). The matched robotic and laparoscopic AS groups (30:30) had comparable outcomes in terms of operative time, blood loss, transfusion, open conversion, postoperative morbidity and mortality, R0 resection, and hospital stay, although the rate of Pringle maneuver application (p = 0.0002) and the postoperative aspartate aminotransferase level (p = 0.002) were higher in the robotic group. Comparing the matched posterosuperior (sub)segmentectomy cases or unmatched repeat hepatectomy cases between MIAS and OAS, we observed significantly less blood loss and shorter hospital stays in MIAS. Robotic AS yielded comparable outcomes with laparoscopic AS in the posterosuperior (sub)segmentectomy and repeat hepatectomy settings, despite the worse tumor and procedural backgrounds in robotic AS. In conclusion, various types of MIAS standardized by the extrahepatic Glissonean approach were feasible and safe with more favorable perioperative outcomes than those of OAS. Although robotic AS had almost comparable outcomes with laparoscopic AS, robotics may serve to decrease the surgical difficulty of MIAS in selected patients undergoing posterosuperior (sub)segmentectomy and repeat hepatectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The introduction into the clinical practice of the navigator nurse (NaNu) to address the task of counseling and short term follow-up help the effective implementation of the fast track protocol. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of the standardization of the NaNu's role in patients undergoing liver surgery. METHODS Patients undergoing elective liver surgery for all diagnosis and approach, from 2015, received counseling and postoperative follow-up by NaNu and constituted the study group (n = 890). This group was compared with the control group (n = 712) including patients treated in the era before the implementation of the NaNu role (2011-2014). Outcome was evaluated in terms of discrepancy between functional recovery and discharge, number of ER accesses, number of readmissions. RESULTS Preoperative characteristics of patients and disease, as well as type of resection and postoperative outcomes were similar between the two groups. The proportion of laparoscopic cases was higher in the study group (51.2% vs. 32% in the control). Time for discharge, interval between functional recovery and discharge, number of ER accesses and number of readmissions were reduced in the study group. Benign diagnosis, absence of complications, laparoscopic approach and presence of NaNu were independent predictors of shorter length of stay. The positive effect of NaNu's activation was recorded in patients with complications and undergoing open surgery. CONCLUSION The implementation of NaNu's role has allowed to us optimize the level of healthcare service offered to patients. The wider benefit was offered in the setting of complex patients.

Abstract
The paracaval portion (PC) of the caudate lobe is a small area of the liver located in front of the inferior vena cava. Conventional right hemihepatectomy (RH) along the Rex-Cantlie line involves resection of not only the anterior and posterior sections but also the PC behind the middle hepatic vein (MHV). However, to preserve the future liver remnant volume as much as possible, PC-preserving RH may be beneficial in selected patients. We injected an indocyanine green (ICG) solution in the PC portal branch under intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) guidance and performed an RH preserving the fluorescently visible PC in a patient with liver metastasis. The patient was a 47-year-old male with a 24 ×10 cm metastatic hepatic tumor from sigmoid colon cancer. CT volumetry revealed that the left hemiliver excluding the caudate lobe was 55%, and the caudate lobe was 5.3%. Before hepatic transection, the ICG solution was injected into the PC portal branch under IOUS guidance. During hepatic transection, the PC was identified as a fluorescent area behind the MHV using a near-infrared imaging system. Thus, the anatomical right-side boundary of the caudate lobe was clearly found. Following RH, the PC was preserved as a fluorescently visible area. The patient had an uneventful recovery. RH preserving the fluorescently visible PC of the liver is a feasible procedure.

Abstract
Applying indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence in surgery has created a new dimension of navigation surgery to advance in various disciplines. The research in this field is nascent and fragmented, necessitating academic efforts to gain a comprehensive understanding. The present review aims to integrate diverse perspectives and recent advances in its application in gastrointestinal surgery. The relevant articles were selected by using the appropriate keyword search in PubMed. The angiography and cholangiography property of ICG fluorescence is helpful in various hepatobiliary disorders. In gastroesophageal and colorectal surgery, the lymphangiography and angiography property of ICG is applied to evaluate bowel vascularity and guide lymphadenectomy. The lack of objective parameters to assess ICG fluorescence has been the primary limitation when ICG is used to evaluate bowel perfusion. The optimum dose and timing of ICG administration need to be standardized in some new application areas in gastrointestinal surgery. Binding tumor-specific ligands with fluorophores can potentially widen the fluorescence application to detect primary and metastatic gastrointestinal tumors. The narrative review outlines prior contributions, limitations, and research opportunities for future studies across gastrointestinal sub-specialty. The findings of the present review would be helpful for scholars and practitioners to explore and progress in this exciting domain of gastrointestinal surgery.

Abstract
Background The principle of hepatoblastoma (HB) treatment is complete resection. The removal of tumor-bearing section(s) or hemiliver is widely accepted. However, neither the standardized anterior approach for right hepatectomy nor parenchymal sparing anatomical liver resection has been described for HB. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical course of two pediatric HB patients who underwent extended right hepatectomy using the anterior approach with the liver hanging maneuver and one who underwent parenchymal sparing anatomical liver resection of S4 apical+S8 ventral/dorsal+S7. The critical aspects of surgical techniques are described in detail. Results In all three patients, R0 resection was achieved without complications and are currently alive without recurrence after an average follow-up of 23 months. Intraoperative cardiac hemodynamics were stable, even in a trisomy 18 patient with cardiac disease. Conclusions Our findings suggest that these innovative techniques established in adults are safe and feasible for HB in children. These techniques also allow optimal anatomical liver resection to accomplish curative surgery while maintaining the functional reserve of the remnant liver.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anatomic resection (AR) is a surgical method for treating hepatocellular carcinoma, and identifying intersegmental planes between segments 5 (S5) and 8 (S8) remains challenging. This study aims to find reliable intersegmental veins (IVs) between them as anatomical landmarks using 3D reconstruction analysis. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 57 patients who underwent multidetector-row CT scans from September 2021 to January 2023. The portal vein watershed of S5 and S8 and hepatic veins were reconstructed using 3D reconstruction analysis software. We counted and analyzed the IVs running within the intersegmental plane between S5 and S8, examined their features, and analyzed the location of the junctions between IVs and middle hepatic veins (MHVs). RESULTS Among the 57 patients, 43 patients (75.4%) had IVs between S5 and S8. Most patients (81.4%) had a single IV joining the MHV, while 13.9% had two IVs, one joining the MHV and the other joining the right hepatic vein (RHV). The majority of IV-MHV junctions were found in the lower part of the MHVs. The most clearly identifiable junctions between the IVs and MHVs occurred slightly below the midpoint of the horizontal planes of the second hepatic portal and the center of the gallbladder bed. CONCLUSION Our study identified IVs between S5 and S8 in the liver as potential anatomical landmarks during AR for hepatocellular carcinoma surgery. We found three types of IVs and provided insights on how to locate their junctions with MHVs for easier surgical navigation. However, individual anatomical variations must be considered, and preoperative 3D reconstruction and personalized surgical planning are crucial for success. More research with larger sample sizes is needed to validate our findings and establish the clinical significance of these IVs as landmarks for AR.

Abstract
Hepatobiliary resections are among the most complex and technically challenging surgical procedures. Even though robust evidence showed that complex surgical procedures such as hepatobiliary surgery have better short- and long-term outcomes and lower mortality rate when performed in high-volume centers, the minimal criteria of centers that can perform hepatobiliary activity are not clearly defined. We conducted a retrospective population study of patients who underwent hepatobiliary surgery for malignant disease in a single Italian administrative region (Veneto) from 2010 to 2021 with the aim to investigate the hospitals annual surgical volume for hepatobiliary malignant diseases and the effect of hospital volume on in-hospital, 30- and 90-day postoperative mortality. The centralization process of hepatobiliary surgery in Veneto is rapidly increasing over the past 10 years (rate of performed in highly specialized centers increased from 62% in 2010 to 78% in 2021) and actually it is really established. The crude and adjusted (for age, sex, Charlson Index) mortality rate after hepatobiliary surgery resulted significantly lower in centers with high-volume activity compared to them with low-volume activity. In the Veneto region, the "Hub and Spoke" model led to a progressive centralization of liver and biliary cancer treatment. High surgical volume has been confirmed to be related to better outcomes in terms of mortality rate after hepatobiliary surgical procedures. Further studies are necessary to clearly define the minimal criteria and associated numerical cutoffs that can help define the characteristics of centers that can perform hepatobiliary activities.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Knowledge of the clinical liver anatomy has evolved with advanced imaging modalities and laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, precise anatomical resection knowledge has become the standard treatment for primary and secondary liver cancer. Segmentectomy, a parenchymal-preserving approach, is regarded as an option for anatomical resections in patients with impaired liver. Indocyanine green (ICG) staining is a promising method for understanding the anatomical borders of the liver segments. There are two methods of ICG staining (positive and negative), and the superiority of either approach has not been determined to date. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a prospective randomised controlled superiority clinical trial performed in a single centre tertiary hospital in Japan. A comparison between the accuracy of positive and negative ICG staining in guiding laparoscopic anatomical liver resection is planned in this study. Possible candidates are patients with liver malignant tumours in whom laparoscopic monosegmentectomy or subsegmentectomy is planned. Fifty patients will be prospectively allocated into the following two groups: group A, ICG-negative staining group, and group B, ICG-positive staining group. The optimal dose of ICG for positive staining will be determined during the preparation phase. To assess the ability of the ICG fluorescence guidance in anatomical resection, the primary endpoint is the success rate of ICG staining, which consists of a SOS based on three components: superficial demarcation in the liver surface, visualisation of the parenchymal borders and consistency with the preoperative three-dimensional simulation. The secondary endpoints are the evaluation of short-term surgical outcomes and recurrence-free survival. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study was approved by Ageo Central General Hospital Clinical Research Ethical Committee (No: 1044) and it carried out following the Declaration of Helsinki (2013 revision). Informed consent will be taken from the patients before participating. The findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, scientific meetings and conferences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim was to evaluate the short-term results of robot-assisted minimally invasive liver surgery(Robot-assisted liver surgery (RLS)) in elderly patients. METHODS Between November 2019 and July 2022, RLS was performed on 100 consecutive patients. Patients were divided into a middle-aged group (Group1:<75years) and an elderly group(Group2:≧75years). A propensity score matching(PSM) analysis with a ratio of 1:1 was performed. RESULTS After PSM, there were 28 patients in each group. There were no significant differences in clinicopathologic characteristics, type of resection and intraoperative variables. Postoperative complications and length of hospital stay were comparable in Groups 1 and 2. In a comparison between minor and major hepatectomy in Group 2, there were no significant differences in any of the factors. CONCLUSIONS The study showed that RLS for patients over 75years had similar short-term outcomes as for younger patients down to middle-aged, especially the risk of perioperative complications was comparable.

Abstract
Laparoscopic ventral and dorsal segmentectomies 8 are an option for parenchymal-sparing liver resection. However, laparoscopic anatomic posterosuperior liver segment resection is technically demanding because of its deep location and the many variations in the segment 8 Glissonean pedicle (G8). In this study, we describe a hepatic vein-guided approach (HVGA) to overcome these limitations. For ventral segmentectomy 8, liver parenchymal transection was initiated at the ventral side of the middle hepatic vein (MHV) and continued exposing it toward the periphery. The G8 ventral branch (G8vent) was identified on the right side of the MHV. Following G8vent dissection, liver parenchymal transection was completed by connecting the demarcation line and G8vent stump. For dorsal segmentectomy 8, the anterior fissure vein (AFV) was exposed peripherally. The G8 dorsal branch (G8dor) was identified on the right side of the AFV. Following G8dor dissection, the right hepatic vein (RHV) was exposed from the root. Liver parenchymal transection was completed by connecting the demarcation line and RHV. Between April 2016 and December 2022, we performed laparoscopic ventral and dorsal segmentectomy 8 in fourteen patients. No complications (Clavien-Dindo classification, Grade ≥ IIIa) were observed. An HVGA is feasible and useful for standardizing safe laparoscopic ventral and dorsal segmentectomies 8.

Abstract
Surgical techniques and outcomes of minimally invasive anatomic liver resection (AR) using the extrahepatic Glissonian approach for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are undefined. In 327 HCC cases undergoing 185 open (OAR) and 142 minimally invasive (MIAR; 102 laparoscopic and 40 robotic) ARs, perioperative and long-term outcomes were compared between the approaches, using propensity score matching. After matching (91:91), compared to OAR, MIAR was significantly associated with longer operative time (643 vs. 579 min, p = 0.028); less blood loss (274 vs. 955 g, p < 0.0001); a lower transfusion rate (17.6% vs. 47.3%, p < 0.0001); lower rates of major 90-day morbidity (4.4% vs. 20.9%, p = 0.0008), bile leak or collection (1.1% vs. 11.0%, p = 0.005), and 90-day mortality (0% vs. 4.4%, p = 0.043); and shorter hospital stay (15 vs. 29 days, p < 0.0001). On the other hand, laparoscopic and robotic AR cohorts after matching (31:31) had comparable perioperative outcomes. Overall and recurrence-free survivals after AR for newly developed HCC were comparable between OAR and MIAR, with potentially improved survivals in MIAR. The survivals were comparable between laparoscopic and robotic AR. MIAR was technically standardized using the extrahepatic Glissonian approach. MIAR was safe, feasible, and oncologically acceptable and would be the first choice of AR in selected HCC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The indications of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) have expanded to high-risk patients, such as elderly people. However, to date, little evidence has been established of the safety and feasibility of LLR in elderly patients. The short-term outcomes of LLR in elderly patients as compared to non-elderly patients were investigated. METHODS Data of a total of 297 patients who underwent LLR were reviewed. Among these 297 patients, 181 patients were < 75 years age (non-elderly) and 116 patients were ≥ 75 years age (elderly), and the surgical outcomes were compared between the groups. In addition, we evaluated the risk factors for postoperative morbidity (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ IIIa) utilizing the preoperative, operative, and postoperative variables RESULTS: The preoperative liver/renal function, frequency of anti-thrombotic drug use, number of comorbidities, and American Society of Anesthesiologists-physical status classification were more unfavorable in elderly patients than in non-elderly patients. No significant inter-group differences were observed in the operation time, blood loss, conversion rate, postoperative morbidity, or 30-day mortality. The 3-year overall survival rate was comparable between the two groups. Multivariate analysis identified anti-thrombotic drug use, operation time > 7 h, and peak serum total bilirubin > 2 mg/dl within postoperative day 3 as independent risk factors for Clavien-Dindo ≥ IIIa postoperative morbidity (P = 0.016, P < 0.001, and P = 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS LLR in elderly patients may provide comparable short-term outcomes to those in non-elderly patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) has become a standardized procedure with advances in surgical techniques and perioperative management in the last decade; however, the necessity of routine drain placement in LLR has not been fully investigated. This study aimed to evaluate the need for intraoperative drain placement (IDP) in LLR. METHODS A total of 607 patients who underwent LLR for liver tumor at our institution between January 2015 and August 2021 were studied. Clinicopathological data, including intraoperative factors and postoperative outcomes, were compared between patients with and without IDP before and after propensity score matching. Variables shown to be different between the two groups were used for matching. Then, risk analysis for additional drainage procedure after surgery was performed in the original and matched cohorts. RESULTS Of the 607 patients, 4 (0.7%) and 14 (2.3%) developed incisional and organ/space surgical site infections, respectively, and 9 (1.5%) required additional drainage procedure after surgery. Ninety-three patients (15.3%) underwent IDP. The incidence and severity of postoperative complications were similar between patients with and without IDP in both the original and matched cohorts. In the matched cohort, simultaneous colectomy (odds ratio, 14.051, 95% confidence interval, 1.103-178.987; P = 0.042), rather than IDP (odds ratio, 1.836, 95% confidence interval, 0.157-21.509; P = 0.629), was independently associated with the risk of additional drainage procedure after surgery. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that LLR could be performed safely without IDP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since the first laparoscopic wedge resection reported by Reich, laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) has been progressively developed, acquiring safety and feasibility. The time has witnessed a milestone leap for laparoscopic hepatectomy from pure laparoscopic partial hepatectomy to anatomical hepatectomy and from minor liver resection to major liver resection. The numerous previous studies have paid more attention to the short-time and long-time surgical outcomes caused by surgical techniques corresponding to various segments and approaches. However, focus on trocar layouts remains poorly described, but it plays an indispensable role in surgical process. METHODS We have searched PubMed for English language articles with the key words "trocar," "laparoscopic liver resection," and "liver resection approaches." RESULTS This review highlighted each type of trocar layouts corresponding to specific circumstances, including targeted resection segments with various approaches. Notably, surgeon preferences and patients body habitus affect the trocar layouts to some extent as well. CONCLUSIONS Although there were fewer researches focus on trocar layouts, they determine the operation field and manipulation space and be likely to have an impact on outcomes of surgery. Therefore, further studies are warranted to firm the role of trocar layouts in LLR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the advancement of laparoscopic technology, more precise anatomical hepatectomies such as segmentectomy or even bi-segmentectomy have been recommended by updated expert consensus to treat a single small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) [1, 2]. Herein, we presented a video of laparoscopic anatomic bi-segmentectomy (S3 and S4b) using the Glisson's pedicle-first and intrahepatic anatomic markers approach. METHODS A 66-year-old male was referred for treatment of a single HCC adjacent to the Sagittal part of the left portal vein. The procedure was performed according to the following steps: (1) dissecting and transecting the Glisson's pedicle to S3 and S4b based on Laennec's capsule [3]; (2) identification of the ischemia boundary on the liver surface and confirming the presence of adequate surgical margins within the boundary, ensuing the integrity of segment 2 and 4a by the intraoperative ultrasonography meanwhile; (3) the left parenchymal transection was begun along the demarcation line, exposing the Glisson's pedicle to S2, left hepatic vein, and umbilical fissure vein; (4) the right parenchymal transection was performed to expose the V5, V4b, and V4a. And this operation was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the West China Hospital and written informed consent was obtained from patient of Sichuan University and written informed consent was obtained from patient. (5) The blood supply of residual liver surface was observed, and the integrity of segment 2 and 4a hepatic pedicle was ensured by intraoperative ultrasonography. RESULTS The operative time was 224 min and blood loss during operation was 50 ml. The histopathologic examination showed a solitary HCC, 4 cm in diameter, with negative surgical margin and no microvascular invasion. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery and was discharged on postoperative day 5. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic bi-segmentectomy (S3 and S4b) using the Glisson's pedicle-first and intrahepatic anatomic markers approach is feasible and effective. Its advantages lie in obtaining the benefits of anatomical hepatectomy, while maximizing the postoperative functional hepatic reserve [4-6].

Abstract
Objectives To investigate the feasibility of repeat laparoscopic liver resection (Rep-LLR), including repeat anatomical resection (Rep-AR), as compared to initial-LLR (Ini-LLR). Background The indications of LLR have expanded to treatment of recurrent liver tumors. However, the feasibility of Rep-LLR, including Rep-AR, has not yet been adequately assessed. Methods Data of 297 patients who had undergone LLR were reviewed. Among the 297 patients, 235 (AR: 168) had undergone Ini-LLR and 62 (AR: 27) had undergone Rep-LLR, and the surgical outcomes were compared between the groups. In addition, multivariate analysis was performed to identify predictors of the difficulty of Rep-LLR based on the operation time and volume of blood loss. Results Of the 62 patients who had undergone Rep-LLR, 44, 14, and 4 had undergone second, third, and fourth repeat LRs, respectively. No significant intergroup differences were observed in regard to the operation time, blood loss, conversion rate to open surgery, postoperative morbidity, or postoperative hospital stay. However, the proportion of patients in whom the Pringle maneuver was used was significantly lower in the Rep-LLR group than in the Ini-LLR group. Multivariate analysis identified surgical procedure ≥sectionectomy at the initial/previous LR and an IWATE difficulty score of ≥6 as being independent predictors of the difficulty of Rep-LLR. Use of adhesion barriers at the initial/previous LR was associated with a decreased risk of failure to perform the Pringle maneuver during Rep-LLR. Conclusions Rep-LLR can offer outcomes comparable to those of Ini-LLR over the short term.

Abstract
Liver surgery is highly demanding for anatomical, physiological and technical reasons, and minimally invasive approaches have been implemented at a slower rate. Today, laparoscopic liver resection is a standard of care in many occasions, yet specific operations remain particularly challenging and generally performed in open surgery. In particular, SVIII resection may be considered one of the most difficult due to anatomical characteristics including its sub-diaphragmatic position, the deep-lying Glissonean pedicle and the close contact with the inferior vena cava and right and middle hepatic veins. Many techniques have risen to overcome technical difficulties, and today laparoscopic SVIII resection has been demonstrated to be feasible. This review provides a complete picture of current approaches, focusing on all techniques reported so far with critical appraisal of each, discussing and explaining benefits and pitfalls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A shift towards parenchymal-sparing liver resections in open and laparoscopic surgery emerged in the last few years. Laparoscopic liver resection is technically feasible and safe, and consensus guidelines acknowledge the laparoscopic approach in the posterosuperior segments. Lesions situated in these segments are considered the most challenging for the laparoscopic approach. The aim of this trial is to compare the postoperative time to functional recovery, complications, oncological safety, quality of life, survival and costs after laparoscopic versus open parenchymal-sparing liver resections in the posterosuperior liver segments within an enhanced recovery setting. METHODS The ORANGE Segments trial is an international multicentre randomised controlled superiority trial conducted in centres experienced in laparoscopic liver resection. Eligible patients for minor resections in the posterosuperior segments will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to undergo laparoscopic or open resections in an enhanced recovery setting. Patients and ward personnel are blinded to the treatment allocation until postoperative day 4 using a large abdominal dressing. The primary endpoint is time to functional recovery. Secondary endpoints include intraoperative outcomes, length of stay, resection margin, postoperative complications, 90-day mortality, time to adjuvant chemotherapy initiation, quality of life and overall survival. Laparoscopic liver surgery of the posterosuperior segments is hypothesised to reduce time to functional recovery by 2 days in comparison with open surgery. With a power of 80% and alpha of 0.04 to adjust for interim analysis halfway the trial, a total of 250 patients are required to be randomised. DISCUSSION The ORANGE Segments trial is the first multicentre international randomised controlled study to compare short- and long-term surgical and oncological outcomes of laparoscopic and open resections in the posterosuperior segments within an enhanced recovery programme. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03270917 . Registered on September 1, 2017. Before start of inclusion. PROTOCOL VERSION version 12, May 9, 2017.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence has proven to be a high potential navigation tool during liver surgery; however, its optimal usage is still far from being standardized. METHODS A systematic review was conducted on MEDLINE/PubMed for English articles that contained the information of dose and timing of ICG administration until February 2021. Successful rates of tumor detection and liver segmentation, as well as tumor/patient background and imaging settings were also reviewed. The quality assessment of the articles was performed in accordance with the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN). RESULTS Out of initial 311 articles, a total of 72 manuscripts were obtained. The quality assessment of the included studies revealed usually low; only 9 articles got qualified as high quality. Forty articles (55%) focused on open resections, whereas 32 articles (45%) on laparoscopic and robotic liver resections. Thirty-four articles (47%) described tumor detection ability, and 25 articles (35%) did liver segmentation ability, and the others (18%) did both abilities. Negative staining was reported (42%) more than positive staining (32%). For tumor detection, majority used the dose of 0.5 mg/kg within 14 days before the operation day, and an additional administration (0.02-0.5 mg/kg) in case of longer preoperative interval. Tumor detection rate was reported to be 87.4% (range, 43%-100%) with false positive rate reported to be 10.5% (range, 0%-31.3%). For negative staining method, the majority used 2.5 mg/body, ranging from 0.025 to 25 mg/body. For positive staining method, the majority used 0.25 mg/body, ranging from 0.025 to 12.5 mg/body. Successful segmentation rate was 88.0% (range, 53%-100%). CONCLUSION The time point and dose of ICG administration strongly needs to be tailored case by case in daily practice, due to various tumor/patient backgrounds and imaging settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In laparoscopic anatomic liver resection, an increasingly common procedure, the hepatic vein-guided approach is widely used although the hepatic vein tributaries can be a major source of bleeding in the event of inadvertent injury. This report describes the anatomy of the middle hepatic vein (MHV) including its tributaries based on reconstructed three-dimensional computed tomography images and provides anatomic data to enable safe middle hepatic vein-guided liver resection. METHODS Following simulation modeling of the hepatic vasculatures, reconstructed MHV data was pooled from 35 healthy liver donors. Yields of the MHV tributaries were analyzed to enable MHV-guided liver resection. RESULTS A total of 252 tributaries were identified in the 35 donors. The MHV yielded fewer tributaries from its anterior and posterior aspects than from its right-side and left-side aspects (40 [15.9%], 13 [5.2%], 93 [36.9%], and 106 [42.1%], respectively). The MHV tributaries from the anterior and posterior aspects were smaller in diameter than those from the right-side and left-side aspects (median, 3.0, 2.0, 4.8, and 4.0 mm, respectively). DISCUSSION Our simulation revealed that MHV dissection from the anterior or posterior aspect poses a lower risk of injury to the MHV tributaries compared to dissection from either lateral aspect. In addition, MHV dissection from the anterior or posterior aspect allows for safer identification and isolation of the thick MHV tributaries originating from the lateral aspects. Ideally, the anterior or posterior aspect of the MHV should be accessed and exposed before the lateral aspects are dissected to minimize the risk of MHV tributary injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Brisbane 2000 Terminology for Liver Anatomy and Resections, based on Couinaud's segments, did not address how to identify segmental borders and anatomic territories of less than one segment. Smaller anatomic resections including segmentectomies and subsegmentectomies, have not been well defined. The advent of minimally invasive liver resection has enhanced the possibilities of more precise resection due to a magnified view and reduced bleeding, and minimally invasive anatomic liver resection (MIALR) is becoming popular gradually. Therefore, there is a need for updating the Brisbane 2000 system, including anatomic segmentectomy or less. An online "Expert Consensus Meeting: Precision Anatomy for Minimally Invasive HBP Surgery (PAM-HBP Surgery Consensus)" was hosted on February 23, 2021. METHODS The Steering Committee invited 34 international experts from around the world. The Expert Committee (EC) selected 12 questions and two future research topics in the terminology session. The EC created seven tentative definitions and five recommendations based on the experts' opinions and the literature review performed by the Research Committee. Two Delphi Rounds finalized those definitions and recommendations. RESULTS This paper presents seven definitions and five recommendations regarding anatomic segmentectomy or less. In addition, two future research topics are discussed. CONCLUSIONS The PAM-HBP Surgery Consensus has presented the Tokyo 2020 Terminology for Liver Anatomy and Resections. The terminology has added definitions of liver anatomy and resections that were not defined in the Brisbane 2000 system.

The Applications of 3D Imaging and Indocyanine Green Dye Fluorescence in Laparoscopic Liver Surgery. Diagnostics (Basel) 2021; 11:diagnostics11122169. [PMID: 34943406 PMCID: PMC8700092 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics11122169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2021] [Revised: 11/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/21/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Laparoscopic liver resections have gained widespread popularity among hepatobiliary surgeons and is nowadays performed for both standard and more complex hepatectomies. Given the increased technical challenges, preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance is pivotal in laparoscopic surgery to safely carry out complex and oncologically safe hepatectomies. Modern tools can help both preoperatively and intraoperatively and allow surgeons to perform more precise hepatectomies. Preoperative 3D reconstructions and printing as well as augmented reality can increase the knowledge of the specific anatomy of the case and therefore plan the surgery accordingly and tailor the procedure on the patient. Furthermore, the indocyanine green retention dye is an increasingly used tool that can nowadays improve the precision during laparoscopic hepatectomies, especially when considering anatomical resection. The use of preoperative modern imaging and intraoperative indocyanine green dye are key to successfully perform complex hepatectomies such as laparoscopic parenchymal sparing liver resections. In this narrative review, we discuss the aspects of preoperative and intraoperative tools that are nowadays increasingly used in experienced hepatobiliary centers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The concept of minimally invasive anatomic liver resection (MIALR) is gaining popularity. However, specific technical skills need to be acquired to safely perform MIALR. The "Expert Consensus Meeting: Precision Anatomy for Minimally Invasive HBP Surgery (PAM-HBP Surgery Consensus)" was developed as a special program during the 32nd meeting of the Japanese Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery (JSHBPS). METHODS Thirty-four international experts gathered online for the consensus. A Research Committee performed a comprehensive literature review, classifying studies according to the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network method. Based on the literature review and experts' opinions, tentative recommendations were drafted and circulated among experts using online Delphi Rounds. Finally, formulated recommendations were presented online in the Expert Consensus Meeting of the JSHBPS on February 23rd, 2021. The final recommendations were validated and finalized by the 2nd Delphi Round in May 2021. RESULTS Seven clinical questions were selected, and 22 recommendations were formulated. All recommendations reached more than 85% consensus among experts at the final Delphi Round. CONCLUSIONS The Expert Consensus Meeting for safely performing MIALR has presented a set of clinical guidelines based on available literature and experts' opinions. We expect these guidelines to have a favorable effect on the safe implementation and development of MIALR.

Effectiveness of Anatomical Resection for Small Hepatocellular Carcinoma: a Propensity Score-Matched Analysis of a Multi-institutional Database. J Gastrointest Surg 2021; 25:2835-2841. [PMID: 33772400 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-021-04985-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2020] [Accepted: 03/15/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The superiority of outcomes associated with anatomical resection (AR) versus those associated with non-anatomical resection (NAR) remains controversial in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of AR on therapeutic outcomes of patients with small HCCs (≤ 5 cm), using propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis. METHODS A total of 195 patients who had undergone elective hepatic resection for small HCCs (≤ 5 cm) were included in this study. We conducted PSM analysis for baseline characteristics (age, sex, hepatitis virus status, retention rate of indocyanine green at 15 min, and Child-Pugh grade), preoperative serum α-fetoprotein, and tumor characteristics (tumor size, tumor number, portal vein invasion, and surgical margin status) to eliminate potential selection bias. The prognostic significance of AR on the disease-free and overall survival was analyzed in patients selected by PSM analysis. RESULTS Applying PSM analysis, the patients were divided into PSM-AR (N = 66) and PSM-NAR (N = 66) groups. Disease-free survival was significantly better in the PSM-AR group than that of the PSM-NAR group (P = 0.018), while there was no significant difference in the overall survival between the PSM-AR and PSM-NAR groups (P = 0.292). The univariate HRs of the PSM-AR group were 0.55 (95% CI, 0.33-0.90) for disease-free survival and 0.61 (95% CI, 0.24-1.53) for overall survival, respectively. Remnant liver recurrence was significantly lower in the AR group (P = 0.014). CONCLUSIONS AR may improve the disease-free survival in HCC patients with tumors of ≤5 cm diameter.

Abstract
Laparoscopic liver surgery has a wide diffusion worldwide, but the reproducibility of a parenchyma-sparing approach with a minimally invasive technique is still to explore. Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) is a mandatory tool to guarantee safety (transection plane) and oncological adequacy (margin) of minor but complex resections for deep-located tumors. The hooking technique has been developed exactly with this aim: once a vessel is isolated and encircled, the surgeon applies gentle traction on the tape surrounding the vessel and, under IOUS vision, "recognizes" the vessel and the adequate level of section. At present, advanced IOUS-guided maneuvers have limited application to laparoscopic liver surgery. We report the first application of the hooking maneuver during laparoscopic hepatectomy in three consecutive patients. In all cases, it was successfully performed and allowed to section the proper vessel at the right level. No procedure-related complications occurred and no ischemic areas of the remnant liver were evident. All resections had a negative surgical margin. Even if technically demanding, the laparoscopic hooking technique is a further step toward the standardization of a minimally invasive approach to advanced parenchyma-sparing liver surgery.

[PMID: 34146767 DOI: 10.1016/j.suronc.2021.101622] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2021] [Accepted: 06/06/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Segment 8 is considered the largest liver segment, and its portal vein branches are generally divided into four parts, including ventral, dorsal, dorsolateral and medial branches (Shindoh et al., 2010; Takayasu et al., 1985) [1,2]. An anatomic combined subsegmentectomy could satisfy both the oncological quality of anatomical resection and the safety of parenchyma sparing principle if a small hepatocellular carcinoma is located between the hepatic subsegments (Berardi et al., 2021) [3]. Yet, laparoscopic anatomic combined subsegmentectomy of segment 8 is still technically challenging. The development of digital intelligent technology has made it possible to tailored preoperative planning and accurate intraoperative navigation in laparoscopic surgery. VIDEO A 57-year-old man underwent a routine CT scan and was found to have a mass occupation in segment 8 of the liver. Three-dimensional reconstruction was performed to evaluate liver anatomy, vascular variations, and volume of each vascular unit as well as the location of the tumor, its relationship with the liver anatomy, and the Glissonian pedicles feeding the tumor-bearing area. Based on the reconstructed model, resection was planned aiming to the narrowest but oncologically safe anatomical tumor-bearing area. Upon evaluation, anatomic combined subsegmentectomy of segment 8 (ventral and medial subsegments) was confirmed. The operation was performed precisely under assistance of the Laparoscopic Hepatectomy Navigation System (LHNS, software copyright No. 2018SR840555) (Yang et al., 2020) [4]. RESULTS The operation lasted 200 min with 50 ml intraoperative blood loss. There were no postoperative complications, and the patient was discharged after 6 days. CONCLUSION Digital intelligent technology could provide tailored strategy for laparoscopic liver surgery, which makes laparoscopic anatomic combined subsegmentectomy of segment 8 feasible and effective.

A snapshot of the 2020 conception of anatomic liver resections and their applicability on minimally invasive liver surgery. A preparatory survey for the Expert Consensus Meeting on Precision Anatomy for Minimally Invasive HBP Surgery. JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SCIENCES 2021; 29:41-50. [PMID: 33787072 DOI: 10.1002/jhbp.959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2020] [Revised: 03/01/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/07/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The main aim of this survey was to analyze how liver surgeons perform liver resections and to define their conception of anatomic procedures within the incorporation of minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS). METHODS The survey was distributed among liver surgeons. It mainly focused on personal experience on open and MILS, methods and landmarks, and experience on anatomic resections and Glissonean approach. RESULTS A total of 445 valid answers from 54 countries was obtained. Surgeons performing MILS mainly have below 10 years of experience (81.8% of responders) and one third has never done complex MILS. New techniques, including indocyanine green demarcation are marginally used (<25%). More than 60% of surgeons do not make a full exposure of hepatic veins during MILS, mainly due to the risk of injury or not considering it to be of utility. Although 88% of responders agreed with the concept of anatomic resection as the "resection along the border/watersheds of each order division identified by the portal vein flow", only 55% of surgeons have ever performed MILS Glissonean approaches. CONCLUSIONS Liver anatomy is not a static concept. Anatomic resections need training and precision. Standardization of complex anatomic resections by a minimally invasive approach should be encouraged.

Achieving precision surgery in laparoscopic liver resection with the aid of preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction: A case report. Int J Surg Case Rep 2021; 81:105792. [PMID: 33887849 PMCID: PMC8041724 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijscr.2021.105792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2021] [Revised: 03/15/2021] [Accepted: 03/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Laparoscopic liver surgery is evolving and its spread is now starting to take place. Three-dimensional reconstruction imaging still remains a scarcely used technique. Considering the difficulty of liver resection surgery, a precise knowledge of the patient’s anatomy is essential in the preoperative planning of the intervention. Three-dimensional reconstruction imaging provides useful information in addition to conventional imaging, allowing a more accurate preoperative planning, and being used as a navigation instrument during liver resection. The use of three-dimensional reconstruction imaging allows to predict the precise location and direction of anatomical structures with high approximation, allowing to reach a high degree of precision surgery.
Introduction The use of three-dimensional image reconstruction in liver surgery is well-known and has got many applications: It was first developed for vein reconstruction in liver transplantation and for liver volumetry to prevent post hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) after major resections. There are many other advantages described in the literature provided by three-dimensional reconstruction, however its diffusion is currently limited. Clinical case We present the case of a woman with a single colon cancer metastasis in segment 5 of the liver. Using CT scan images we created a three dimensional reconstruction of the patient’s liver and its inners structures. The rendering was used to hypothesize the plan of dissection and to predict the pedicles that needed to be dissected during the procedure. Discussion We try to demonstrate that, thanks to three dimensional image reconstruction, all the structures that need to be dissected could be effectively located prior to the the surgery with a high grade of approximation. Furthermore the 3D reconstruction could be used as a step by step guide during the whole surgical procedure, showing all the pedicles To be encountered and dissected at every stage. Conclusion 3d reconstruction of the liver is a valid aid in the interpretation of preoperative imaging and intraoperative ultrasound, both for the surgeon and for the entire equipe, facilitating comprehension of patient’s liver anatomical features. It allows to predict the location and direction of the pedicles that need to be dissected and resected with high approximation, in order to achieve a more precise and tailored surgery.

Evaluation of accuracy of laparoscopic liver mono-segmentectomy using the Glissonian approach with indocyanine green fluorescence negative staining by comparing estimated and actual resection volumes: A single-center retrospective cohort study. JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SCIENCES 2021; 28:1060-1068. [PMID: 33638899 DOI: 10.1002/jhbp.924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2020] [Revised: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Laparoscopic liver mono-segmentectomy (LLMS) may improve patient outcomes, but it is difficult and its accuracy and safety are unknown. We evaluated the accuracy of LLMS using Glissonian approach with indocyanine green fluorescence (ICG) negative staining. METHODS Seventy-four patients eligible for LLMS except for segment 1 were enrolled. Preoperative three-dimensional CT-based surgical simulation was used to determine estimated liver resection volume (ELRV), which was compared with modified actual liver resection volume (ALRV) obtained from actual liver resection mass. The LLMS accuracy was also evaluated based on operator's experience (attending surgeon [AS] or trainee surgeon [TS]). RESULTS Estimated liver resection volumes significantly correlated with ALRVs (r = .82) in all cases. Moreover, TS-conducted LLMS also showed acceptable difference between ELRV and ALRV compared with AS-conducted LLMS. There were no intergroup differences in estimated blood loss, operation time, time of Pringle maneuver, postoperative complications, and length of postoperative hospitalization (P < .05). Moreover, R0 resection was comparable between the AS and TS groups. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic liver mono-segmentectomy with Glissonian approach using ICG negative imaging ensured safe and accurate procedure owing to facilitated visualization of the resection line. Our approach was effective in avoiding postoperative liver dysfunction and securing radical resection. In addition, it might be helpful in TS education of LLMS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Glissonean approach has been widely validated for both open and minimally invasive anatomic liver resection (MIALR). However, the possible advantages compared to the conventional hilar approach are still under debate. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the application of the Glissonean approach in MIALR. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was conducted on PubMed and Ichushi databases. Articles written in English or Japanese were included. From 2,390 English manuscripts evaluated by title and abstract, 43 were included. Additionally, 23 out of 463 Japanese manuscripts were selected. Duplicates were removed, including the most recent manuscript. RESULTS The Glissonean approach is reported for both major and minor MIALR. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd order divisions of both right and left portal pedicles can be reached following defined anatomical landmarks. Compared to the conventional hilar approach, the Glissonean approach is associated with shorter operative time, lower blood loss, and better peri-operative outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Glissonean approach is safe and feasible for MIALR with several reported advantages compared to the conventional hilar approach. Clear knowledge of Laennec's capsule anatomy is necessary and serves as a guide for the dissection. However, the best surgical approach to be performed depends on surgeon experience and patients' characteristics. Standardization of the Glissonean approach for MIALR is important.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the recent worldwide dissemination of laparoscopic liver surgery, no high-level evidence supports the oncologic safety of this approach. OBJECTIVE To evaluate long-term oncologic outcomes after laparoscopic versus open liver resection in patients with colorectal metastases. DESIGN A single-center, assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial (OSLO-COMET [Oslo Randomized Laparoscopic Versus Open Liver Resection for Colorectal Metastases Trial]). (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01516710). SETTING Oslo University Hospital, the only provider of liver surgery for the 3 million inhabitants of southeastern Norway. PARTICIPANTS Patients with resectable colorectal liver metastases were randomly assigned to have open or laparoscopic liver resection. INTERVENTION From February 2012 to January 2016, a total of 280 patients were included in the trial (laparoscopic surgery: n = 133; open surgery: n = 147). MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome was postoperative morbidity within 30 days. Five-year rates of overall and recurrence-free survival were predefined secondary end points. RESULTS At a median follow-up of 70 months, rates of 5-year overall survival were 54% in the laparoscopic group and 55% in the open group (between-group difference, 0.5 percentage point [95% CI, -11.3 to 12.3 percentage points]; hazard ratio, 0.93 [CI, 0.67 to 1.30]; P = 0.67). Rates of 5-year recurrence-free survival were 30% in the laparoscopic group and 36% in the open group (between-group difference, 6.0 percentage points [CI, -6.7 to 18.7 percentage points]; hazard ratio, 1.09 [CI, 0.80 to 1.49]; P = 0.57). LIMITATION The trial was not powered to detect differences in secondary end points and was not designed to address a noninferiority hypothesis for survival outcomes. CONCLUSION In this randomized trial of laparoscopic and open liver surgery, no difference in survival outcomes was found between the treatment groups. However, differences in 5-year overall survival up to about 10 percentage points in either direction cannot be excluded. This trial should be followed by pragmatic multicenter trials and international registries. PRIMARY FUNDING SOURCE The South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In preparation for the upcoming consensus meeting in Tokyo in 2021, this systematic review aimed to analyze the current available evidence regarding surgical anatomy of the liver, focusing on useful landmarks, strategies and technical tools to perform precise anatomic liver resection (ALR). METHODS A systematic review was conducted on MEDLINE/PubMed for English articles and on Ichushi database for Japanese articles until September 2020. The quality assessment of the articles was performed in accordance with the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN). RESULTS A total of 3169 manuscripts were obtained, 1993 in English and 1176 in Japanese literature. Subsequently, 63 English and 20 Japanese articles were selected and reviewed. The quality assessment of comparative series and case series was revealed to be usually low; only six articles were qualified as high quality. Forty-two articles focused on analyzing intersegmental/sectional planes and their relationship with specific hepatic landmark veins. In 12 articles, the authors aimed to investigate liver surface anatomic structures, while 36 articles aimed to study technological tools and contrast agents for surgical segmentation during ALR. Although Couinaud's classification has remained the cornerstone in daily diagnostic/surgical practices, it does not always portray the realistic liver segmentation and there has been no standardization on which a single strategy should be followed to perform precise ALR. CONCLUSIONS A global consensus should be pursued in order to establish clear guidelines and proper recommendations to perform ALR in the era of minimally invasive surgery.

Abstract
Aim: To assess the impact of the laparoscopic anatomic resections (LARs) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, analyzing the pooled short- and long-term outcomes of this technique and comparing it with the standard open approach [open anatomic resections (OAR)]. Material and Methods: A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, and Scopus for studies published between 2010 and 2020 concerning LAR for HCC. Results: After screening 311 articles, 10 studies with a total of 398 patients who underwent LAR for HCC were included. The pooled cohort included mostly male (76.6%), Child A (98.2%), with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related disease (60.5%). The pooled conversion rate was 7.3%. The pooled overall complication rate was 10.2 with a mortality rate of 1.0%. In the pooled analyses of only comparative studies, LAR group included 378 versus 455 in OAR. Operative time was longer in the LAR group (329 minutes versus 248; P = .001). Blood loss (179 versus 331 mL; P = .018) was lower in the LAR group. The pooled mean length of hospital stay was 8.4 days in LARs and 11.3 in OARs (P = .002). The pooled rate of postoperative complications was higher in the OAR group (25.3 versus 13.8; P = .009), while mortality rates were similar. The LAR group had a pooled 3- and 5-year overall survival of 90.1 and 81.9 versus 83.5 and 80.7 of the OARs (P > .05), respectively. Conclusions: In conclusion, the LAR for HCC is safe and associated with decreased blood loss and length of hospital stay. Survival rates are comparable with those of the conventional open approach.

Laparoscopic anatomical segmentectomy using the transfissural Glissonean approach. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2020; 405:365-372. [PMID: 32388715 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-020-01889-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2020] [Accepted: 04/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anatomical segmentectomy is a technically difficult procedure owing to the complexity of the segmental anatomy of the liver. In the conventional Glissonean approach from the liver hilum, the tertiary portal pedicles may be difficult to dissect because of their anatomical variations and deep location. We present a technique of purely laparoscopic anatomical segmentectomy of the liver using the transfissural Glissonean approach. METHODS We performed purely laparoscopic anatomical segmentectomy using the transfissural Glissonean approach. This approach involved initially opening the liver parenchyma along the fissure line (main portal, right portal, and umbilical fissures). Thereafter, the target tertiary portal pedicles were approached and ligated within the liver parenchyma above the liver hilum. RESULTS Between August 2014 and September 2019, we performed 17 cases of laparoscopic anatomical segmentectomy using the transfissural Glissonean approach. The median operative time was 200 min (range 120-310 min), and the intraoperative blood loss was 80 mL (range 30-280 mL). The median postoperative hospital stay was 6 days (range 3-9 days). There was no major morbidity or mortality. CONCLUSION The transfissural Glissonean approach in laparoscopic anatomical segmentectomy is technically feasible because opening the fissure allows direct access to the tertiary portal pedicles.

Laparoscopic Liver Resection of Segments 7 and 8: from the Initial Restrictions to the Current Indications. THE JOURNAL OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY 2020; 23:5-16. [PMID: 35600734 PMCID: PMC8985615 DOI: 10.7602/jmis.2020.23.1.5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2020] [Revised: 03/04/2020] [Accepted: 03/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Since the beginning of laparoscopic liver surgery, resection of the posterosuperior segments has been considered one of the most challenging procedure due to its difficult access. The main drawbacks of the laparoscopic approach to dome lesions are poor visualization, the difficulty of instrumentation and the greater complexity in the control of bleeding. In the evolution of minimally invasive techniques from hybrid techniques to the current purely laparoscopic approaches, the different authors have established gradually the currents indications and surgical techniques to operate these segments with a similar feasibility and safety than open approach. The standardization in the patient position, the use of intercostal trocars, the learning curve in laparoscopic liver surgery, the management of the hepatic blood flow and the refinement of the technique in the extrahepatic and intrahepatic Glissonean pedicle approaches, has allowed to leave behind the initial contraindications about the laparoscopic approach in these segments. In the present review of the literature, the accumulated experience of the different groups in minimally invasive liver surgery together with the technological advances in the different laparoscopic devices have facilitated the resection of tumors in segments 7 and 8 with similar and even better results than open surgery.
