[Selective exclusion of hepatic outflow and inflow in hepatectomy].

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To improve the resectable rate of massive hepatic tumors and operative tolerance of hepatectomy in the treatment of advanced liver cancers. METHODS: Sixteen cases of massive hepatic tumors were reviewed. The selective exclusion of hepatic outflow and inflow in hepatectomy was discussed. RESULTS: All the patients had normal course after the operative procedure and no hepatic coma or other severe hepatic disturbances were observed. CONCLUSION: While the selective exclusion of hepatic outflow and inflow were applied, the resectable rate of massive hepatic tumors and operative tolerance of hepatectomy were improved.
