Abstrakt: Aim: Determination of first line treatment with limited hepatectomy or Anatomical hepatectomy provides better clinical outcome.
Methods: Immediate and long-term outcomes of 106 patients who underwent partial hepatectomy for RH at our institution from January 2001 to February 2005 were analyzed retrospectively. Clinical end-points included time to recovery of hepatic function, residual stones, infection of the liver remnant, bile leakage, recurrent stones, morbidity, and mortality.
Results: LH was performed in 59 patients and AH in 47 patients as first-line treatment. The time of hepatic function recovery was not statistically different between the two groups (P > .05). However, Patients in AH group suffered from less residual stones (P < .05), less infection of the raw surface of liver remnant (P < .05), and less bile leakage (P < .05), with a median follow-up of 40.3 +/- 0.8 months (range 3-48), and AH group suffered a less recurrent stone rate (P < .05). No difference in morbidity, and mortality rates between the two groups.
Conclusion: AH is a safe and effective treatment for RH, with a fair rate of surgical complications, it should be considered as first-line treatment of RH.
