Anatomical Segmental and Subsegmental Resection of the Liver for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: a New Approach by Means of Ultrasound-Guided Vessel Compression

University of Milan·observational·Posted Jan 27, 2009·Updated Jan 27, 2009

In Brief

An observational study evaluating IOUS-GUIDED INTRAHEPATIC VESSEL COMPRESSION for Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Anatomical resection is the gold standard approach for liver resection in patients with HCC. A new method for that by means of IOUS-guided finger compression has been devised.

Interventions

IOUS-GUIDED INTRAHEPATIC VESSEL COMPRESSIONprocedure

Using the IOUS, the tumor and the level targeted for compression are identified. Than, under the IOUS guidance, the surgeon compresses bilaterally the liver at the targeted position resulting in the compression of the portal pedicle feeding the tumor previously identified. This maneuver is constantly monitored in real-time just using the same microconvex probe, and it is maintained until the surface of the targeted liver area begins to discolor, at that time the first assistant marks the discolored area with the electrocautery, and the compression is released. Once the area is demarcated, liver dissection is started under intermittent Pringle's maneuver.
