Project description:It is generally accepted that an insufficient future liver remnant is a major limitation of large-scale hepatectomy for patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma. Conventional two-stage hepatectomy (TSH) is commonly considered to accelerate future liver regeneration despite its low regeneration rate. Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS), which is characterized by a rapid regeneration, has brought new opportunities.Relevant studies were identified by searching the selected databases up to September 2017. Then, a meta-analysis of regeneration efficiency, complication rate, R0 resection ratio, and short-term outcomes was performed.Ten studies, comprising 719 patients, were included. The overall analysis showed that ALPPS was associated with a larger hyperplastic volume and a shorter time interval (P?<?0.00001) than TSH. ALPPS also exhibited a higher completion rate for second-stage operations (odds ratio, OR 9.50; P?<?0.0001) and a slightly higher rate of R0 resection (OR 1.90; P?=?0.11). Interestingly, there was no significant difference in 90-day mortality between the two treatments (OR 1.44; P?=?0.35).These results indicate that compared with TSH, ALPPS possesses a stronger regenerative ability and better facilitates second-stage operations. However, the safety, patient outcomes, and patient selection for ALPPS require further study.

Project description:Background: Pushing the surgical limits for initially unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) are two approaches for sequential liver resection: two-stage hepatectomy (TSH) and associating liver partitioning and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS). However, the role of each treatment modality remains ill-defined. The present meta-analysis was designed to compare the safety, efficacy, and oncological benefits between ALPPS and TSH in the management of advanced CRLM. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted from online databases through to February 2020. Single-arm synthesis and cumulative meta-analysis were performed. Results: Eight studies were included, providing a total of 409 subjects for analysis (ALPPS: N = 161; TSH: N = 248). The completions of the second stage of the hepatectomy [98 vs. 78%, odds ratio (OR) 5.75, p < 0.001] and R0 resection (66 vs. 37%; OR 4.68; p < 0.001) were more frequent in patients receiving ALPPS than in those receiving TSH, and the waiting interval was dramatically shortened in ALPPS (11.6 vs. 45.7 days, weighted mean difference = -35.3 days, p < 0.001). Nevertheless, the rate of minor complications was significantly higher in ALPPS (59 vs. 18%, OR 6.5, p < 0.001) than in TSH. The two treatments were similar in 90-day mortality (7 vs. 5%, p = 0.43), major complications (29 vs. 22%, p = 0.08), posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF; 9 vs. 9%, p = 0.3), biliary leakage (11 vs. 14%, p = 0.86), length of hospital stay (27.95 vs. 26.88 days, p = 0.8), 1-year overall survival (79 vs. 84%, p = 0.61), 1-year recurrence (49 vs. 39%, p = 0.32), and 1-year disease-free survival (34 vs. 39%, p = 0.66). Cumulative meta-analyses indicated chronological stability for the pooled effect sizes of resection rate, 90-day mortality, major complications, and PHLF. Conclusions: Compared with TSH, ALPPS for advanced CRLM resulted in superior surgical efficacy with comparable perioperative mortality rate and short-term oncological outcomes, while this was at the cost of increased perioperative minor complications.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis comparing associating liver partition and portal vein ligation (ALPPS) with conventional 2-stage hepatectomy (TSH) in terms of clinical outcomes and to determine the feasibility and safety of ALPPS.MethodsA comprehensive search strategy was adopted to search the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and China Biology Medicine disc databases for studies comparing ALPPS and TSH. The search was broadened by looking up the reference lists of the retrieved articles. A meta-analysis was performed using the statistical software RevMan (v 5.3; Cochrane Collaboration).ResultsA total of 7 studies involving 561 patients (ALPPS group, 136 patients; TSH group, 425 patients) were included in the present study, all of which were observational studies. Compared with TSH, ALPPS was associated with high completion rates of both stages [odds ratio (OR): 10.68, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 3.26-34.97, P?<?.0001]. No significant differences were found in other outcomes such as complications of the first (OR: 4.04, 95% CI: 0.81-20.27, P?=?.09) and second surgical stage (OR: 1.59, 95% CI: 0.71-3.57, P?=?.26), liver failure (OR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.29-1.98, P?=?.58) and the 90-day mortality rate (OR: 2.20, 95% CI: 1.00-4.84, P?=?.05).ConclusionALPPS is associated with lower noncompletion rate and had similar perioperative outcomes relative to TSH. However, only retrospective observational studies were included in this meta-analysis, which may have limited the strength of the evidence. High-quality, large-scale studies are required to further evaluate the outcomes of ALPPS.

Project description:Despite being the standard of care for patients with Stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC), the effects of a resection of liver metastasis on the metastatic disease are poorly understood. To elucidate the influence of surgical metastasectomies on metastasized CRC, we investigated the cellular and molecular effects of partial hepatectomy in a mouse model of orthograde CRC liver metastasis.

Project description:BackgroundPortal vein embolization (PVE) is used before extensive hepatic resections to increase the volume of the future remnant liver within acceptable safety margins (conventionally >0.6% of the patient's weight). The objective was to determine whether pre-operative PVE impacts on post-operative liver function independently from the increase in liver volume.MethodsThe post-operative liver function of patients who underwent an anatomical right liver resection with (n = 28) and without (n = 53) PVE were retrospectively analysed. Donors of the right liver were also analysed (LD) (n = 17).ResultsPatient characteristics were similar, except for age, weight and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score that were lower in LD. Post-operative factor V and bilirubin levels were, respectively, higher and lower in patients with PVE compared with patients without PVE or LD (P < 0.05). Patients with PVE had an increased blood loss, blood transfusions and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome. The day-3 bilirubin level was 40% lower in the PVE group compared with the no-PVE group after adjustment for body weight, chemotherapy, operating time, Pringle time, blood transfusions, remnant liver volume, pre-operative bilirubin level and pre-operative prothrombin ratio (P = 0.001).ConclusionsFor equivalent volumes, the immediate post-operative hepatic function appears to be better in livers prepared with PVE than in unprepared livers. Future studies should analyse whether the conventional inferior volume limit that allows a safe liver resection may be lowered when a PVE is performed.

Project description:Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) is one of the most complex challenges for hepatobiliary surgeons. Poor results and high incidence of morbidity after Associating Liver Partition and Portal vein ligation for Staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) for pCCA discouraged this indication. It has been proposed that minimally invasive approach for ALPPS first stage, as well as combination of surgical liver partition and radiologic portal vein embolization (PVE), may improve outcomes reducing interstage morbidity. We report a case of right trisectionectomy with enbloc caudatectomy ALPPS scheduled for pCCA with robotic approach at stage-1, the full video is provided as supplementary material. Due to intraoperative presence of portal vein tumor infiltration during hilar dissection (no evidence in the pre-operative work-up), a radiologic right PVE was performed after stage-1 instead of portal vein ligation, followed by portal vein resection and biductal hepatico-jejunostomy at stage-2 with open approach. The patient was a 74-year-old female diagnosed with 3-cm mass-forming pCCA. The total clean liver volume was 1231 cc, with future liver remnant (FLR) volume of 25.1% (segments II and III). She was discharged in the interstage interval on postoperative day (POD) 4; CT scan on POD 12 showed that FLR increased up to 33% (369 cc) (Fig. 1). ALPPS was completed on POD 17, the postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged in good general condition on POD 19 after stage-2. Besides the already demonstrated advantages in terms of reduced interstage morbidity, robotic ALPPS represents a promising strategy to expand surgical indication in patients with pCCA. The combination of liver partition and PVE may increase the opportunities to perform radical resections in selected patients with pCCA and portal vein infiltration.

Project description:Surgical resection has offered the best option for prolonged survival in patients with colorectal liver metastases. Limiting factor for major liver resections is the size of the future liver remnant (FLR). In case of normal liver function, 30% of the total liver volume is considered to be sufficient to maintain adequate liver function after resection. In an attempt to further increase "resectability" criteria for patients with too small FLR surgical and interventional maneuvers such as portal vein embolization and portal vein ligation in two-stage hepatectomies have been implemented, but they need an interval of 4-8 weeks to achieve sufficient hypertrophy. In order to obtain adequate but rapid parenchymal hypertrophy a new surgical two-step technique, ALPPS, was introduced for oncological patients requiring extended hepatic resection with limited functional reserve. Both procedures can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality.
The investigators conclude that it is time to perform a randomized study comparing the two surgical approaches in regard to oncological outcome.
