Intraoperative injuries during liver resection: analysis of 1,005 procedures

PurposeRisk of liver resection has been well investigated in many studies. However, the problem of intraoperative injuries is rarely mentioned. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence, the type, and management of intraoperative injuries during liver resection.MethodsA total of 1,005 liver resections between 2004 and 2009 were included in this retrospective investigation. We analyzed the incidence of intraoperative injuries, risk factors, and an impact on patients’ clinical outcome.ResultsThe overall incidence of intraoperative injuries was 4.4% (44 of 1,005). Injuries of the diaphragm (1.6%, 16 of 1,005) and hepatocaval junction (1%, 10 of 1,005) were the most frequent. In multivariate analysis, tumor recurrence (p = 0.0199) and tumor size (p = 0.0317) were the only independent risk factors for diaphragm injuries, whereas the extent of resection (p = 0.0007) was the only independent risk factor for caval or hepatic vein injuries. Injuries of the inferior vena cava or hepatic veins significantly increased perioperative mortality (p = 0.0005).ConclusionsMinor injuries causing no significant complications were the most frequent. However, prevention and proper management of the rare injuries of hepatocaval junction are essential to avoid increased mortality in major liver resections.

Causes and management of intraoperative injuries of bile duct

目的 讨论术中胆道损伤的原因及处理方法.方法分析我院1970年1月至2003年12月治疗的术中胆道损伤143例,占同期胆道手术的2.83%.男59例(41.26%),女84例(58.74%),平均年龄为44.7岁.导致胆道损伤的手术类型为:胆道手术129例(90.21%),胃切除5例(3.5%),其他手术9例(6.29%).损伤类型以胆管横断和部分切除等为多,术中发现并当即处理者69例(48.25%),3 d内二次手术者28例(19.58%),1个月内手术者13例(9.09%),半年以后再次手术者33例(23.08%).结果死亡7例(4.90%)(死亡原因为肝功能衰竭及严重感染),治愈136例,治愈率为95.1%,随访1～30年,平均9.4年,随访期间胆道狭窄19例(13.29%),均经再次手术治愈.结论术中胆道损伤的发生率为0.1%～3%,以胆囊切除术多见.术者缺乏训练,暴露欠佳,照明差,局部粘连为主要原因.疑有损伤者应行术中胆道造影及胆总管探查,确认后当即行修补或胆肠吻合,置管支撑、引流.术中胆道损伤多需再次手术,死亡率明显增加。
