Abstract

Invasion of tumor in the liver requires surgical interventions that may reduce the effects or may eliminate the tumor-affected cells. The renewal of the hepatic vein and inferior vena cava has enabled most specialized oncologists and medical specialists to use advanced diagnostic methods in the treatment of the liver tumors. Liver resection has prolonged the lives of many patients and the invention of live donor organ transplants has effectively enabled the use of liver resection in most cancer centers across the world. By reviewing data from 10 articles, 21 surgical analyses were investigated and analyzed for the risks involved in the applications of reconstructions of hepatic vein and inferior vena cava in the surgical liver resection. The postoperative complications and the indications of reconstructions were mentioned. The results indicated that with these surgical procedures, complications are still involved but may be successful for particular patients.

Highlights

The existence of malignant tumor attacking the hepatic vein and the inferior vena cava has presented a challenging impact in the surgical treatment of cancer patients
This article tends to investigate through a literature search, the cases regarding the successful operation of hepatic vein and inferior vena cava reconstruction during the hepatic surgery resection in patients with liver cancer
The type of hepatic resection was based on the hepatic vein and inferior vena cava reconstruction, that is, where the small involvement primary repair was considered, and the effect of liver cirrhosis on the hepatic reconstruction

Summary

Introduction

The existence of malignant tumor attacking the hepatic vein and the inferior vena cava has presented a challenging impact in the surgical treatment of cancer patients. Various reports have indicated successful excision of the hepatic vein and inferior vena cava through man-made vessels [1]. Successful excision of these tumors at advanced stages via reconstruction during hepatic surgery resection has been invariably reported. This article tends to investigate through a literature search, the cases regarding the successful operation of hepatic vein and inferior vena cava reconstruction during the hepatic surgery resection in patients with liver cancer
