Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Selection criteria for safe hepatectomy for HCC are not well established. The aim of this study was the validation of the selection criteria for safe hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Procedure: Hepatectomy

Detailed Description

All consecutive patients submitted to hepatectomy for HCC based on the same preoperative selection criteria from our prospectively-maintained liver unit database. Such criteria included the value of bilirubin (BIL), the value of cholinesterases (CHE), the presence of ascites, the presence of esophageal varices, and the rate of residual liver volume.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Hepatectomy for HCC

Patients submitted to surgery for HCC

Procedure: Hepatectomy
Other Names:
  • Liver surgery
  • Liver resection
  • Hepatic resection
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Safety of surgery for HCC [90 days]

      The primary endpoint was the validation of our selection criteria for safe hepatectomy for HCC in regards to postoperative complications. The role of total bilirubin and cholinesterases was analzyed together with other clinical parameters.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Score systems HCC [90 days]

      The secondary endpoint was the testing of the most common score systems for HCC, which are the CPT score, the MELD score, and the APRI score.
