Abstract:
Objective：The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of RF-LR with clamp-crush liver resections(CC-LR) in treating huge liver tumors(>10 cm).Methods：Thirty-one patients with huge liver tumors underwent RF-LR(n=15) or CC-LR(n=16) in our hospital.Blood loss，transfusion，operating time，postoperative complications and survival rate were compared between two groups.Results：Preoperative assessment revealed no statistical difference between two groups.Blood loss was more in CC-LR group than RF-LR group(P=0.005) and more patients in CC-LR group required transfusion(P=0.029).There were no significant differences in terms of total operation time，hepatic portal blocking and postoperative complications.No cases had postoperative liver failure and perioperative death in both groups.In the case of primary liver cancer，The 1-，2-，and 3-year overall survival rates of RF-LR group and CC-LR group were 80.0%，70.0% and 35.0% and 76.9%，61.5%，38.5% respectively，which were not statistically different between two groups.Conclusion：RF-LR can effectively reduce blood loss and transfusion for huge liver tumors especially with severe hepatic cirrhosis.Meanwhile，application of this technique provide a comparative prognosis for patients with huge liver tumor with CC-LR but do not increase postoperative complications.
