  • In vivo hepatectomy with preservation of retrohepatic inferior vena cava for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis with invasion of inferior vena cava

    ObjectiveTo explore the clinical application of in vivo hepatectomy with preservation of retrohepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE) with the invasion of IVC. MethodsThe clinicopathologic data of a complicated HAE patient with large lesion (maximum cross-section 12.6 cm×9.6 cm), infiltrative growth, unclear boundary with surrounding tissues, and invasions of diaphragm and IVC (invasion length up to 4.6 cm) admitted to the Department of Liver Surgery in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University in December 2021 was retrospectively collected. The three-dimensional reconstruction of the liver model was performed by Mimics Medical 21.0 software before operation. The invading IVC of the right liver lesion was measured and the resection was simulated. During the operation, the HAE lesion and the affected IVC were gradually separated from IVC by the hemostatic forceps, and the residual lesions were gradually removed. ResultsIn this patient, the HAE lesion of right liver was resected, the IVC was entirely preserved, and the resection of liver was consistent with the preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction plan. The operation time was 275 min, the bleeding was approximately 500 mL. On the first day after the operation, the alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were increased, no obvious abnormalities were observed in the plasma albumin and bilirubin, the patient recovered and was discharged on the seventh day after the operation. No complications occurred after the operation, and no recurrence or metastasis of HAE was observed during follow-up period. ConclusionsHepatectomy with preservation of retrohepatic IVC for HAE with invasion of IVC is safe and effective. Taking albendazole regularly after surgery will help maintain disease-free survival.

  • Two-stage hepatectomy for complicated hepatic alveolar echinococcosis with multiple lesions

    ObjectiveTo explore the efficiency of two-stage hepatectomy applicated in complex alveolar echinococcosis. MethodThe clinical data of one case who suffered from complicated alveolar echinococcosis with multiple lesions and then treated with two-stage hepatectomy were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsPreoperative enhanced CT revealed that the hydatid lesion with irregular shape, measuring 14.1 cm×9.2 cm, invaded several segments including left medial lobe and right anterior lobe of liver and the right branch of portal vein and medium hepatic vein were entirely surrounded by it. After preoperative examination surgical exploration was performed, two larger lesions measuring 6 cm×5 cm×4 cm and 5 cm×4 cm×4 cm respectively were found in caudate lobe of liver, three smaller lesions were found in the right and left lobe of liver, among which two measured 2 cm×2 cm×1 cm in the right lobe and one measured 3 cm×2 cm×1 cm in the left lobe. Mesohepatectomy was performed in the first stage, the lesion in left medial lobe and right anterior lobe of liver and the right anterior branch of portal vein were resected during the procedure. The patient recovered well after the operation without complications such as bile leakage or hemorrhage observed. The second stage surgery was performed at three months after operation, the computed tomograph before the surgery revealed that the remained lesions in the right lobe of liver did not proceed obviously and the left lateral external lobe of liver regenerated significantly. In the second stage, the right anterior lobe and part of the right posterior lobe of liver were resected. The patient was discharged on 7 days after operation, and there was no complication and relapse during the 7 months of follow-up period. ConclusionTwo-stage hepatectomy applicated in treating complicated alveolar echinococcosis with multiple lesions is safe and feasible, offering a choice with smaller trauma, lower expense and less complications for patients compared with liver transplantation.
