【Abstract】Objective To investigate the influence of hepatectomy combined with splenectomy on curative effect of primary hepatocellular carcinoma patients associated with hypersplenism.
Methods Twenty three cases of primary hepatocellular carcinoma associated with hypersplenism were analyzed retrospectively and divided into hepatectomy combined with splenectomy group (n=10) and hepatectomy combined with ligation of splenic artery (n=13). Peripheral blood samples were collected 1 week before operation and 3 monthes after operation respectively. The levels of CD4, CD8, CD16, CD4/CD8, WBC and PLT in the blood were detected. Survival rate between the two groups was compared.
Results There were not significant differences in the expressional levels of CD4, CD8, CD16, CD4/CD8,WBC and PLT before operation, bleeding quantity during the operation and rate of severe complications after operation in the two groups. The expressional levels of CD4, CD16, CD4/CD8, WBC and PLT of hepatectomy combined with splenectomy group were much higher in 3 months after operation than those in 1 week before operation and in hepatectomy combined with ligation of splenic artery group (P＜0.01) and the latter with no distinct changes of the above indexes. There was no difference of survival rate between the two groups. But in the hepatectomy combined with ligation of splenic artery group, 7 patients of 13 patients were compelled to terminate chemotherapy because of their low WBC while not a single patient was forced to do so in the hepatectomy combined with splenectomy group.
Conclusion Hepatectomy combined with splenectomy is useful for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma associated with hypersplenism to restore the immunological function and the application of chemotherapy after operation.
