Background. Hepatectomy, an important treatment modality for liver malignancies, has high perioperative morbidity and mortality rates. Safe, comprehensive criteria for selecting patients for hepatectomy are needed. Since June 2011, we have used a cut-off value of ≧ 0.05 for future liver remnant plasma clearance rate of indocyanine green as a criterion for hepatectomy. The aim of this study was to verify the validity of this criterion. Methods. From June 2011 to December 2015, 212 hepatectomies were performed in Tenri Yorozu Hospital. Of these 212 patients, 107 who underwent preoperative computed tomography imaging volumetry, indocyanine green clearance test, and hepatectomy (excluding partial resection or enucleation) were retrospectively analyzed. Results. There was no postoperative mortality. Posthepatectomy liver failure occurred in 59 patients (55.1%) (International Study Group of Liver Surgery Grade A: 43 cases (40.2%), Grade B: 16 cases (15.0%), and Grade C: no cases). Operative morbidity greater than Clavien-Dindo Grade 3 occurred in 23 patients (21.5%). A low future liver remnant plasma clearance rate of indocyanine green was a good predictor for Grade B cases (area under curve = 0.804; 95% confidence interval, 0.712–0.895). Conclusion. Liver remnant plasma clearance rate of indocyanine green is a valid criterion for hepatectomy.

Abstract Background The future liver remnant (FLR) faces a risk of poor growth in patients with cirrhosis-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after stage-1 radiofrequency-assisted ALPPS (RALPPS). The present study presents a strategy to trigger further FLR growth using supplementary radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI). Methods At RALPPS stage-1 the portal vein branch was ligated, followed by intraoperative RFA creating a coagulated avascular area between the FLR and the deportalized lobes. During the interstage period, patients not achieving sufficient liver size (≥ 40%) within 2–3 weeks underwent additional percutaneous RFA/PEI of the deportalized lobes (rescue RFA/PEI) in an attempt to further stimulate FLR growth. Results Seven patients underwent rescue RFA/PEI after RALPPS stage-1. In total five RFAs and eight PEIs were applied in these patients. The kinetic growth rate (KGR) was highest the first week after RALPPS stage-1 (10%, range − 1% to 15%), and then dropped to 1.5% (0–9%) in the second week (p < 0.05). With rescue RFA/PEI applied, KGR increased significantly to 4% (2–5%) compared with that before the rescue procedures (p < 0.05). Five patients proceeded to RALPPS stage-2. Two patients failed: In one patient the FLR remained at a constant level even after four rescue PEIs. The other patient developed metastasis. Except one patient died after RALPPS stage-2, no severe complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥ IIIb) occurred among remaining six patients. Conclusions Rescue RFA/PEI may provide an alternative to trigger further growth of the FLR in patients with cirrhosis-related HCC showing insufficient FLR after RALPPS stage-1. Trial registration Retrospectively registered.

Colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) are the major cause of death in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The cornerstone treatment of CRLM is surgical resection. Post-operative morbidity and mortality are mainly linked to an inadequate future liver remnant (FLR). Nowadays preoperative portal vein embolization (PVE) is the most widely performed technique to increase the size of the future liver remnant (FLR) before major hepatectomies. One method recently proposed to increase the FLR is liver venous deprivation (LVD), but its oncological impact is still unknown. The aim of this study is to report first short- and long-term oncological outcomes after LVD in patients undergoing right (or extended right) hepatectomy for CRLM. Seventeen consecutive patients undergoing LVD between July 2015 and May 2020 before an (extended) right hepatectomy were retrospectively analyzed from an institutional database. Post-operative and follow-up data were analyzed and reported. Primary outcomes were 1-year and 3-year overall survival (OS) and hepatic recurrence (HR). Postoperative complications occurred in 8 patients (47%). No deaths occurred after surgery. HR occurred in 9 patients (52.9%). 1-year and 3-year OS were 87% (95% confidence interval [CI]: ±16%) and 60.3%, respectively (95% CI: ±23%). Median Disease-Free Survival (DFS) was 6 months (CI 95%: 4.7–7.2). With all the limitations of a retrospective study with a small sample size, LVD showed similar oncological outcomes compared to literature reports for Portal Vein Embolization (PVE).

Major hepatectomy in patients with insufficient future liver remnant (FLR) volume and impaired liver functional reserve has considerable risks for posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). The patient was a male in his 70 with an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) in left hemiliver, involving the middle hepatic vein (MHV). Although FLR volume after left hemihepatectomy was estimated to be 64.4% of the total liver volume, an indocyanine green retention rate at 15 min (ICG-R15) value was 24.2%, thus the patient underwent left portal vein embolization (PVE). The FLR volume increased to 71.3%, however, the non-congestive FLR volume was re-estimated as 45.8% after resection of the MHV, the ICG-R15 value was 29.0%, and ICG-Krem was calculated as 0.037. We performed partial rescue ALPPS (Associating Liver Partition and Portal vein occlusion for Staged hepatectomy) for left hemihepatectomy with the MHV reconstruction. On the first stage, partial liver partition was done along Rex-Cantlie’s line, preserving the MHV and sacrificing the remaining branches to segment 8. The FLR volume increased to 77.4% on day 14. The ICG-R15 value was 29.6%, but ICG-Krem after MHV reconstruction was estimated to be 0.059. The second stage operation on day 21 was left hemihepatectomy with the MHV reconstruction using the left superficial femoral vein graft. The usage of rescue partial ALPPS may contribute to preventing PHLF by introducing occlusion of the portal and/or venous branches in the left hemiliver before curative hepatectomy.

Laparoscopic right hepatectomy (LRH) is an important technique in a modern hepatobiliary surgeon’s arsenal. It’s application extends to many different disease processes including both malignant and benign tumors as well as infections and in trauma. The procedure involves using minimally invasive methods to remove Couinaud segments 5-8 delineated by the portion of the liver right and lateral to Cantlie’s line. In this chapter, we explain the approach to performing this operation by delving into preoperative considerations with a focus on high quality imaging, 3D reconstruction, and virtual hepatectomy, optimizing the future liver remnant (FLR) with PVE and use of parenchymal sparing methods, and detailed intraoperative steps emphasizing caudal view, Glissonian approach, MHV roadmap, and communication with anesthesia. We also give context to LRH by discussing the two most common diseases addressed by it, namely colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as well as historical perspectives and how LRH use has evolved. We also address complication management such as post-operative liver failure and intra-operative bleeding accidents, variants on exposure with hand assist and transthoracic view, and comparing the advantages and disadvantages between open and laparoscopic right hepatectomy. This review contains 12 figures, 4 tables, and 111 references. Keywords: augmented reality, laparoscopic right hepatectomy, laparoscopic PVE and ALPPS, low CVP anesthesia, MHV roadmap, minimally invasive liver resection, parenchymal sparing right hepatectomy, Takasaki caudal approach, virtual hepatectomy,
