Conditions

Enhanced Recovery, Hepatolithiasis, Laparoscopic Liver Resection, Open Liver Resection

Brief summary

Laparoscopic left sectionectomy has been associated with shorter hospital stay and reduced overall morbidity compared with open left sectionectomy. Strong evidence has not, however, been provided.

Detailed description

The application of laparoscopic technology to liver surgery has been developing rapidly, yet very few studies have been conducted to compare the outcomes between open and laparoscopic liver resections. So little is known about their advantages and disadvantages. The aim of this prospective randomized study is to compare the outcomes between laparoscopic and open liver resection in treatment of hepatolithiasis within the left lobes within an enhanced recovery after surgery programme.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Hospital duration after operation (days)up to 30 days after liver resectionthe length of hospital stay

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Total morbidityup to 1 year after liver resectionAccording to The Clavien-Dindo Classification, https://www.assessurgery.com/clavien-dindo-classification/
Composite endpoint of liver surgery specific morbidityup to 1 year after liver resectionParameter composed of a combination of procedure-specific complications and considered as a single, dichotomous outcome: operative mortality, intra-abdominal haemorrhage, ascites, bile leakage, intra-abdominal abscess and postresectional liver failure. These components, which are all specific to liver surgery and have substantial clinical relevance, reflect Dindo grade 3-5 complications. A composite score of 1 (=failure) will reflect the occurrence of at least one of the above liver specific complications, consequently a score of 0 (=success) will be assigned if none occur.
Hospital and societal costsup to 1 year after liver resectionThe economic evaluation will include a cost-utility analysis from a Dutch societal perspective. The incremental costs per Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY) gained will be based on utility scores from the EQ-5D. All hospital expenses (direct and indirect) related to both interventions will be monitored. In addition, a cost questionnaire offered at the regular follow-up consultation (3, 6 and 12 months) will help us to assess the societal and individual costs outside health care relating to patients' absence, impaired mobility, work or normal daily activities.
Incidence of incisional herniasup to 1 year after liver resectionTo assess the incidence of incisional hernias in laparoscopic and open left lateral hepatic sectionectomy patients will be contacted at a mean time of 1 year after resection to receive an ultrasound to diagnose incisional hernia.
Change of serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminaseup to 7 days after liver resectionChange of serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase after liver resection.These values will be recorded preoperative, and postoperative day-1,3,5,7.
