Risk factors for hepatic insufficiency after major hepatectomy in non-cirrhotic patients.
Asian Journal of Surgery 2019 January
BACKGROUND: Although recent advances in surgical techniques and perioperative management have reduced the morbidity and mortality after hepatectomy, hepatic insufficiency after major hepatectomy remains an important concern. This study aimed to clarify the risk factors for post-hepatectomy liver insufficiency.
METHODS: We enrolled 103 consecutive patients who underwent major hepatectomy which was defined as resection of four or more segments. Hepatic insufficiency is defined as an increase in serum total bilirubin after hepatectomy of 7 mg/dL or more, or death from multiple organ failure. We compared the patient disposition, demographics, perioperative factors such as surgical method, combined procedure, morbidity and so on between the patients with or without hepatic insufficiency.
RESULTS: Hepatic insufficiency occurred in 14 patients (14%) and six of them died during the hospital stay (6%). Risk factors by univariate analysis were the percentage of hepatic parenchyma to be resected (P = .025), combined procedure (P = .008) and postoperative morbidity excluding hepatic insufficiency (P < .001). A combined procedure (P = .036) and postoperative morbidity excluding hepatic insufficiency (P = .002) were a significant risk factor by multivariate analysis.
CONCLUSION: Unless remaining liver after hepatectomy has enough volume, combined procedure may account for hepatic insufficiency, which can follow the development of postoperative morbidity.
