Abstract
Objective

To assess whether preoperative transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) reduces haemorrhage during laparoscopic resection, thus making the Pringle manoeuvre unnecessary and avoiding any subsequent complications.

Patients and methods

We present 3 cirrhotic Child A patients with early hepatocellular carcinoma, all of whom had been given the same treatment involving resection by laparoscopy and preoperative TACE of the segments to remove. All the nodules were located in the right hepatic lobe. One case was treated using total laparoscopic surgery and the two remaining cases were converted to the hand-assisted technique. In the first case we carried out bisegmentectomy VI–VII; in the second, segmentectomy VI plus radiofrequency of a second nodule in segment VII, and in the third case, segmentectomy V.

Results

There was no morbidity or mortality. Blood transfusion was not required by any of the patients; in fact blood losses were 100, 50, and 150mL, respectively, and it was not necessary to carry out the Pringle manoeuvre. Surgical margin was greater than 1cm in the three cases and hospital stay was less than 3, 3 and 4 days, respectively.

Conclusion

TACE prior to early hepatocellular carcinoma resection in cirrhotic patients seems to improve surgical safety with low blood losses without the use of the Pringle manoeuvre. Prospective random studies should be carried out on a larger number of patients in order to assess this technique.

Resumen

La resección hepática por laparoscopia del hepatocarcinoma sobre cirrosis podría asociarse a un mayor riesgo de hemorragia y a un mayor uso de la maniobra de Pringle que cuando se realiza por vía abierta.

Objetivo

Valorar si la quimioembolización intraarterial preoperatoria (QMEP) reduce la hemorragia durante la resección laparoscópica y se evita así el empleo de la maniobra de Pringle y sus posibles complicaciones.

Pacientes y métodos

Se presentan 3 pacientes con cirrosis Child A con carcinoma hepatocelular (CHC) precoz, a los que se practicó QMEP de los segmentos por resecar. Todos los nódulos se localizaron en el lóbulo hepático derecho. Un caso fue intervenido por cirugía totalmente laparoscópica y los 2 restantes se convirtieron a cirugía laparoscópica asistida con la mano. En un caso se realizó bisegmentectomía VI–VII, en otro se realizó segmentectomía VI más radiofrecuencia de un segundo nódulo en segmento VII, y en el otro caso se realizó segmentectomía V.

Resultados

No hubo morbimortalidad. No se transfundió ningún paciente, las pérdidas hemáticas fueron de 100, 50 y 150ml, respectivamente, y no fue necesaria la maniobra de Pringle. La resección se completó en los 3 casos con un margen superior a 1cm y la estancia hospitalaria fue de 3, 3 y 4 días, respectivamente.

Conclusión

La QMEP permite realizar la resección laparoscópica del CHC sobre cirrosis con pocas pérdidas hemáticas sin el uso de la maniobra de Pringle. Estudios prospectivos aleatorizados son necesarios con un mayor número de pacientes para evaluar esta técnica.
