Abstract

Objective: To describe clinical and paraclinical characteristics and evaluate early outcomes of open major hepatectomy for liver cancer.

Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted on 80 patients who underwent open major hepatectomy at the Department of Oncology and Radiotherapy, Viet Duc University Hospital from January 2016 to December 2022.

Results: The mean age was 52.9 ± 12.5 years, and 73.7% were male. Hepatocellular carcinoma was the most common histological type (67.5%). Tumors ≥ 5 cm accounted for 86.3% of cases. The combined Ton That Tung - Lortat-Jacob technique was used in 92.5% of patients. Mean operative time was 233.4 ± 64.7 minutes, and intraoperative blood transfusion was required in 27.5%. R0 resection was achieved in 91.3% of cases. Postoperative complications included pleural effusion (42.5%) and liver failure (3.8%). No bile leakage, reoperation, or postoperative mortality was recorded. Mean postoperative hospital stay was 11.4 ± 3.9 days. Intra- and postoperative blood transfusion was significantly associated with postoperative complications (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: Open major hepatectomy for liver cancer demonstrates favorable early outcomes and high safety
