ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
We have introduced and performed laparoscope-assisted surgery in living donor hepatectomy. The objective of this study was to investigate the long-term results of laparoscope-assisted living donor hepatectomy.METHODS:
From 2006 to 2016, laparoscope-assisted living donor hepatectomy was performed in 11 patients (laparoscopic group), and conventional open living donor hepatectomy was performed in 40 patients (conventional group). Intraoperative and postoperative complications were evaluated according to the Clavien-Dindo classification and analyzed in the laparoscopic group for comparison with the conventional group.RESULTS:
The median postoperative follow-up period was 88 months (range, 58-120 months) in the laparoscopic group. One donor in the conventional group died from a motor vehicle crash 16 months after surgery. All others were alive and returned to their preoperative activity level. Regarding intraoperative and early (≤90 days after surgery) postoperative complications, 1 patient (1/11, 9%) showed biliary fistula (Grade IIIa) in the laparoscopic group. In the conventional group, 6 patients (6/40, 15%) showed surgical complications of Grade I in 2 patients and Grade II in 4 patients. Regarding late (>90 days after surgery) postoperative complications, biliary stricture was observed in 1 patient of the laparoscopic group; this patient developed hepatolithiasis 6 years after surgery, and endoscopic lithotomy and extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy were performed, resulting in successful treatment. Late complications were not observed in the conventional group.CONCLUSION:
One donor in the laparoscopic group showed Grade IIIa late complications. The introduction of laparoscopic surgery to living donor hepatectomy should be performed carefully.
