Abstract
Objective To study the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic anatomical liver lobectomy for liver tumor. Methods The feasibility and therapeutic effect of laparoscopic anatomical liver resection on 67 patients were analyzed in our hospital from January 2005 to February 2010. Results Laparoscopic anatomical liver lobectomy was carried out successfully on all the patients. The operative time was 50.6± 16.2 min and the blood loss was 220. 8±76.5 ml. We did not use Pringle's manoeuvre. There was no postoperative complication. The patients were able to be ambulated out of bed within 24 hours and they started to take in food 1-3 days after surgery. The mean hospital stay was 5-7 days after surgery (mean 6.6±1.1 d). The total hospital cost was 30767.4±150. 1 Yuan. Conclusions Laparoscopic anatomical liver resection is feasible and safe. It has the advantages of minimal trauma and quick recovery for tumors located superficially, in the left liver, and in the inferior part of the right liver. Clinically, it should be used more widely. Key words: Laparoscopic; Anatomical; Liver lobectomy
