المستخلص The main objective of this work was to study the role preoperative assessment of portal hypertension surrogate markers to predict early postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients underwent hepatic resection of HCC. records from hepatocellular carcinoma registry at National Liver Institute, Menoufiya University from 2010 to 2012. The records included 71 patients diagnosed as having hepatocellular carcinoma and underwent hepatic resection. Data collected included demographic data, preoperative data, operative criteria, and postoperative data (early morbidity and mortality) then data statistically analyzed for significance and, It was found that: The mean age of the HCC patients was 55.1. There was no significant correlation between age and postoperative complication. HCC has a strong male predominance with a male to female ratio 9.1/1. There was no significant correlation between gender and postoperative complications. The underlying etiology of most HCC patients was HCV related cirrhosis (94.4%) while HBV related cirrhosis constituted (1.4%). Child-Pugh A patients with portal hypertension have short- term results similar to patients with normal portal pressure. According to MELD score, the majority of patients (88.7%) were between 6 and 9. Patients with portal hypertension had worse preoperative laboratory investigations than patients without portal hypertension. Open hepatic resection was the preferred approach in the majority of patients (94.4%) and Habib needle was the preferred tool of resection in (83%) of patients. There was no statistical difference in occurrence of postoperative general complications between PHTN group and patients without portal hypertension. There was increased incidence of hepatic encephalopathy postoperatively among patients with PHTN than patients without portal hypertension. Post-operative prolongation of INR demonstrated among patients with PHTN postoperatively. There was no significant difference between patients with PHTN and patients without PHTN regarding mortality and tumor recurrence in 1 year follow up postoperatively, Dilated portal vein diameter should not be taken as a certain measurement of PHT as degree of post-operative complication showed no difference with others with normal portal vein diameter. Platelet count less than 100,000/mm3 is independently associated with increased rate of intraoperative bleeding and blood and its products transfusion. Platelet count less than 100,000/mm3 is independently associated with increased occurrence of hepatic encephalopathy. Presence of esophageal varices preoperatively in patients undergoing hepatic resection has a risk of occurrence of bleeding and bile leakage postoperatively. Our results suggest that Portal hypertension should not be considered an absolute contraindication to hepatectomy in cirrhotic patients. |
