Popis: 15171 Background: Liver hanging maneuver is a new technique in anterior approach of major hepatectomy. However, the impact of the maneuver has never been fully investigated in patients with liver tumors. To evaluate the surgical benefits of liver hanging maneuver, we set up a comparative study in right-side major hepatectomy. Methods: From 2000 to 2006, 326 hepatectomy were performed in our institution. Fifty-eight patients with liver tumor (hepatocellularcarcinoma in 36, metastatic liver tumor in 13, and the others in 9) considered for right-side major hepatectomy were prospectively analyzed. Right-side hepatectomy included 26 right hepatectomy, 24 extended right hepatectomy, and 8 tri-segmentectomy. The patients were devided into a group with conventional approach (n = 21), a group with anterior approach without hanging maneuver (n = 19), and a group with approach with liver hanging maneuver (n = 18). In the three groups, age, body mass index, child-pugh classification, type of liver tumor, staging in hepatocellularcarcinoma, tumor size, resected liver weights, intraoperative blood loss, frequency of transfusion and surgical time were analyzed. Results: In conventional approach, anterior approach without hanging maneuver, and approach with liver hanging maneuver, mean age was 55, 59, and 65 years, and mean tumor size was 65, 75, and 108mm, respectively. Patients with liver hanging maneuver were significantly elder (p No significant financial relationships to disclose.
