View clinical trials related to Laparoscopic Liver Resection.
Filter by:Laparoscopy is a type of surgical procedure that allows a surgeon to access the inside of the abdomen and pelvis without making large incisions in the skin.The use of laparoscopy in abdomenal surgeries increases for its great benefits over open surgery as: 1)faster recovery, 2)decrease blood loss, 3)shorter hospital stays, 4)decreased postoperative pain, 5)earlier return to work and resumption of normal daily activity as well as, 6)cosmetic benefits. few studies discuss the efficacy and safety of using Laparoscopy in liver non anatomical resection.
LLR was applied for tumors located at the lower edge and lateral segments of the liver that could be resected more easily than posterosuperior segments. With the development of technology and the growing experience of hepatobiliary surgeons, LLR has been expanded to major liver resections, anatomical resections, and donor hepatectomies by skilled surgeons. However, postoperative mortality, mobility and recovery of liver function are associated with major blood loss which is always the main cause of conversion to laparotomy and remains a challenge for surgeons. Pringle first described the method to arrest the hepatic hemorrhage by compression of the porta hepatis and this procedure was widely spread as well as in laparoscopic feild currently. Here, we described a new modified of Pringle maneuver using Bulldog to block vascular during LLR, and compared its effects with traditional pringle maneuver.

With the development of technology and the growing experience of hepatobiliary surgeons, LLR has been expanded to major liver resections, anatomical resections, and donor hepatectomies by skilled surgeons. However, due to the concerns over the risk of operative bleeding, tumor seeding and positive resection margin, the true benefit of LLR remains unclear across surgical community.
