RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To explore the significance of surgical treatment of HCC originating from caudate lobe. METHODS: From 1995 to 2003, caudate lobectomy, including 19 cases of isolated lobectomy and 20 cases of combined lobectomy, were performed in 39 patients with HCC originating from caudate lobe, and the factors that might influence postoperative liver function were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: All tumors were resected successfully. One patient died of postoperative renal failure. Hydrothorax occurred in 3 patients, ascites in 4 patients, and bile leakage in 1 patient. The survival rates of 1, 3, 5 year were 53%, 50%, 39% respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Caudate lobectomy is a effective method for HCC originating from caudate lobe.

The objective of this study was to verify the safety of a new technique termed "binding pancreaticojejunostomy" in a prospective cohort study. Pancreaticojejunal anastomostic leakage is a major cause of morbidity and mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy. To prevent the development of pancreatic fistulas, we designed a special technique that we termed binding pancreaticojejunostomy. Binding pancreaticojejunostomy entails binding 3 cm of the serosamuscular sheath of the jejunum to the intussuscepted pancreatic stump. From January 1996 to May 2001, a total of 150 consecutive patients were treated with this type of pancreaticojejunostomy, including typical pancreaticoduodenectomy in 120, hepatopancreaticoduodenectomy in 17, pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy in 10, and duodenal-preserving resection of the head of the pancreas in three. None of the patients developed pancreatic fistulas. The overall morbidity was 31.3%. The following complications occurred: gastrointestinal bleeding in six, pulmonary infection in 12, wound infection in 20, delayed gastric emptying in three, incision dehiscence in four, and hepatic insufficiency in two. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 19.8 +/- 5 days. Binding pancreaticojejunostomy is a safe, simple, and effective technique.
