Detailed Description

Backgroud & Aim:Hepatectomy is the main way to treat all kinds of liver surgical diseases, which can be divided into anatomic hepatectomy and non-anatomic hepatectomy.Among them, anatomic hepatectomy is suitable for primary liver cancer, hepatolithiasis and other benign and malignant diseases;It can be divided into hepatic venous guidance and non-hepatic venous guidance hepatectomy (traditional ananatomical hepatectomy).The aim of this study was to observe and compare the perioperative period and follow-up results of the two different laparoscopic surgical resection methods, and to provide high-level evidence-based medicine evidence for the selection of surgical methods for laparoscopic anatomical hemihepatectomy.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Experimental: laparoscopic middle hepatic vein guidance hemihepatectomy
In theory, the advantages of anatomical hemihepatectomy guided by middle hepatic vein are as follows: 1) correctly guiding the transecting plane of the liver parenchyma can reduce the cross-sectional area of the liver and avoid damaging the vascular ducts of the pre-cut liver. so as to reduce the residue of necrotic tissue without blood supply and reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications. 2) active anatomy and exposure of hepatic vein can avoid uncontrollable bleeding after passive injury of hepatic vein, and laparoscopic anatomy has obvious advantage in exposing hepatic vein. 3) it may reduce the early recurrence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma after operation.
Procedure: laparoscopic middle hepatic vein guidance anatomic hemihepatectomy
95 patients with primary HCC were divided into the middle hepatic vein guidance group(n=45) and the traditional group(n=45) according to the odd and even Numbers, and sealed into envelopes.Outcomes were monitored and evaluated during the 3-year follow-up period
Other Names:
  • laparoscopic traditional anatomic hemihepatectomy
Active Comparator: laparoscopic traditional anatomic hemihepatectomy
According to textbooks and the views of some scholars at present, traditional anatomical hepatectomy (non-hepatic vein-guided anatomical hepatectomy) has the following advantages: 1) avoiding exposure of hepatic vein can reduce the probability of injury to the trunk of hepatic vein, thus reduce the risk of massive bleeding during operation; 2) the difficulty of operation is relatively low, and a better short-term and long-term effect can be obtained.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Survival rate
Time Frame: 3 years

3 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Perioperative results
Time Frame: Duration perioperation(an expected average of 3 days)
the angle of hepatic vein between segment Ⅳ b and Ⅴ, angle between MHV and IVC
Duration perioperation(an expected average of 3 days)

during the operation

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
