ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The kinetics of remnant liver (RL) function is unknown after major hepatectomy (MH), especially in case of post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). This study investigated the change in RL function after MH using 99mTc-labelled-mebrofenin SPECT-scintigraphy and its correlation with RL volume and PHLF.METHODS:
From 2011 to 2015, 125 patients undergoing MH had volumetric assessment by CT and functional SPECT-scintigraphy preoperatively and at day 7 (POD7) and 1 month (1M). RL volume and function changes were compared in (i) overall population and (ii) 17 patients with vs. 42 without PHLF (ISGLS) matched on preoperative RL function.RESULTS:
Increase in RL function correlated poorly with volume increase at POD7 (r = 0.035, p = 0.43) and 1M (r = 0.394, p < 0.0001). Overall, function increase on POD7 (+38.8%) was lower than volume (+49.4%), but comparable at 1M (+78.8% vs. +73%). PHLF patients showed lower function increase on POD7 (+2.1% [-89%-77.8%] vs. +50% [-39%-218%]; p = 0.006). At 1M, 4 PHLF patients died with no function increase despite significant volumetric gain.CONCLUSIONS:
We first showed via sequential SPECT-scintigraphy that RL function increase after MH is slower than volume increase. A poor kinetic of function was correlated with PHLF as early as POD7, contrasting with substantial volume gain in PHLF patients.
