Hepatic tumors primary/secondary hepatic malignancies
Conditions
Interventions
During right hemihepatectomy, the ipsilateral branches of the portal vein and
hepatic artery are clamped and cut prior to parenchymal transection. A catheter
is introduced in the cut end of both the

| The primary endpoint of this study is defined as parenchymal damage of the liver remnant expressed as postoperative alterations in biochemical- (AST, ALT, conjugated/total bilirubin, and INR) and inflammatory parameters (IL-6, IL-8, C5a, MPO, LTB4, GSH/GSSG ratio, syndecan-1, 8-OHG, 8-OHdG, MDA, 4-HNE, PCC, and 3-nitrotyrosine). In addition, functional tests (99mTc-mebrofenin hepatobiliary scintigraphy with single photon emission computed tomography, HBS-SPECT) and CT-volumetry are performed to assess the effects of R-IHP on regeneration of liver function and -volume. Furthermore, two biopsies will be taken from the FRL. These will be used for assessment of the hepatic energy pool (i.e., the amount of adenine nucleotides, ATP/ADP), as well as transcription of acute phase oxidative stress response genes by PCR. In summary: - Preoperatively. HBS-SPECT, biochemical/inflammatory parameters, and CT-volumetry. - Intraoperatively. Pre-ischemic and post-reperfusion biopsies of the FRL. - Postoperatively. HBS-SPECT, biochemical/inflammatory parameters, and CT-volumetry. | — |
