Abstract
BACKGROUND
For treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA), the rate of radical resection is low and prognosis is poor, and preoperative evaluation is not sufficiently accurate. 3D visualization has the advantage of giving a stereoscopic view, which makes accurate resection of HCCA possible.
AIM
To establish precise resection of HCCA based on eOrganmap 3D reconstruction and full quantification technology.
METHODS
We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 73 patients who underwent HCCA surgery. All patients were assigned to two groups. The traditional group received traditional 2D imaging planning before surgery (n = 35). The eOrganmap group underwent 3D reconstruction and full quantitative technical planning before surgery (n = 38). The preoperative evaluation, anatomical classification of hilar hepatic vessels, indicators associated with surgery, postoperative complications, liver function, and stress response indexes were compared between the groups.
RESULTS
Compared with the traditional group, the amount of intraoperative blood loss in the eOrganmap group was lower, the operating time and postoperative intestinal ventilation time were shorter, and R0 resection rate and lymph node dissection number were higher (P < 0.05). The total complication rate in the eOrganmap group was 21.05% compared with 25.71% in the traditional group (P > 0.05). The levels of total bilirubin, Albumin (ALB) , aspartate transaminase, and alanine transaminase in the eOrganmap group were significantly different from those in the traditional group (intergroup effect: F = 450.400, 79.120, 95.730, and 13.240, respectively; all P < 0.001). Total bilirubin, aspartate transaminase, and alanine transaminase in both groups showed a decreasing trend with time (time effect: F = 30.270, 17.340, and 13.380, respectively; all P < 0.001). There was an interaction between patient group and time (interaction effect: F = 3.072, 2.965, and 2.703, respectively; P = 0.0282, 0.032, and 0.046, respectively); ALB levels in both groups tended to increase with time (time effect: F = 22.490, P < 0.001), and there was an interaction effect between groups and time (interaction effect: F = 4.607, P = 0.004). In the eOrganmap group, there was a high correlation between the actual volume of intraoperative liver specimen resection and the volume of preoperative virtual liver resection (t = 0.916, P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION
The establishment of accurate laparoscopic resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma based on preoperative eOrganmap 3D reconstruction and full quantization technology can make laparoscopic resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma more accurate and safe.
