Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Perioperative complications

    The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, shortest distance between the tumor edge and normal liver tissue, postoperative pain scores, postoperative time until the patient could walk, postoperative time until the patient could pass gas, hospital stay, and inpatient costs were compared between the two groups.

    within the first 30 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • relapse-free survival

    1 year after surgery

Study Arms (2)

laparoscopic group

patients in the laparoscopic group underwent laparoscopic resection of recurrent HCC

Procedure: laparoscopic resection

control group

patients in the control group underwent conventional open surgery

Interventions

The surgical instruments used for the laparoscopic group included conventional laparoscopic instruments (three 5 mm trocars, two 10 mm trocars, and two damage-free laparoscopic clamps), the STORZ high-resolution laparoscopic operating system (Germany), the GEN300 ultrasonic scalpel system (Johnson \& Johnson, USA), a laparoscopic linear cutter stapler (Johnson \& Johnson, USA), a laparoscopic ultrasound device, LigaSure, bipolar coagulation, titanium laparoscopic clips, and absorbable hemostatic gauze.

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

patients who were diagnosed with recurrent HCC and underwent surgical resection at the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from June 2014 to November 2014

You may qualify if:

  • recurrent HCC after open surgery
  • recurrent HCC located in any part of the left lateral lobe or the diaphragm side of the right lobe and near the surface of the liver, which resulted in an easier operation
  • no significant surgical contraindications
  • no major vessel or bile duct tumor invasion and metastasis
  • grade A or B liver function or grade C liver function that recovered to grade A after liver-protective treatment;
  • the patient and his/her family was willing to undergo laparoscopic resection.

You may not qualify if:

  • major vessel or bile duct tumor invasion
  • recurrent HCC located in the right liver parenchyma and near secondary vessels and bile ducts, resulting in a difficult operation
  • grade C liver function
  • significant surgical contraindications
  • the patient and his/her family declined laparoscopic hepatectomy.
