Laparoscopic Hepatectomy Versus Open Hepatectomy for PHC

August 8, 2015 updated by: Shuguo Zheng, MD

Laparoscopic Hepatectomy Versus Open Hepatectomy for PHC With a Tumor Size of 5-10cm:a Prospective Case-control Study

The purpose of this study is to compare short-term and long-term efficacy of laparoscope hepatectomy and open hepatectomy, evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscope hepatectomy the PHC with a tumor size of 5~10㎝,and provide class B evidence based medicine for laparoscope hepatectomy for PHC with a tumor size of 5~10㎝.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Background:primary hepatic carcinoma( PHC) is the world's most common and one of the most malignant tumors, the incidence of malignant tumors in the top five in the world, second only to mortality in gastric cancer, ranked No. 3. surgery and comprehensive treatment is recognized by the medical profession Surgical approach, surgical methods include open and laparoscopic liver resection .The safety and efficacy of laparoscopic resection small PHC has been recognized, but the safety and efficacy of laparoscopy PHC resection is still a dispute, that with a tumor size of 5~10㎝, the clinical evidence is a C or D grade level from the standard definition of evidence-based medicine literature which has been published , for laparoscopic liver resection versus open liver resection for these hepatocellular carcinoma prospective case-control study has not been reported.

Intervention:We will let the 90 patients who meet the inclusion criteria .Patients in hepatobiliary surgery A, D district is undergo traditional open liver resection, hepatobiliary surgery E district is undergo laparoscopic liver resection. In addition to the surgery way is different, the rest treatments are same.

Results:

  1. Clinical data include:operation time, intraoperative blood loss, volume of blood transfusion, Rate of blood transfusion, complications and mortality, postoperative liver function, resection margin, long-term curative effect and survival time were collected and analysed.
  2. Statistical method:groups t-test ,univariate/multivariate analysis, logistic regression analysis, mixed linear regression, Cox survival analysis ,Kaplan-Meier survival analysis,Log-rank curves were used.
