An asymptomatic 39-year-old woman was noted to have occult bleeding by faecal immunohistochemical test. Investigations showed a 3 cm×2 cm caecal lesion by colonoscopy that was consistent with abdominal CT scan findings of a 1.6 cm×1.9 cm×2.3 cm enhancing focus in the medial caecal wall. The patient underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy after diagnostic laparoscopy and intraoperative colonoscopy revealed an intussuscepted appendix. The final histopathology was an appendiceal intussusception secondary to endometriosis.
Twelve patients underwent hepatectomy (minor in eleven; major in one); one peri-hepatic packing only. Five patients needed immediate surgery, four urgent and four delayed. Six patients underwent TAE.Postoperative morbidity according to Dindo-Clavien. Statistical analysis with SPSS v23.0 (significance with p< 0.05). Results: Median length of stay was 10 days (4-68). Major morbidity in three patients (23%); mortality in two cases (15%). Number of transfused units associated with increased risk of complications (p< 0.05). Five-year overall survival was 50%; 45% in HCC patients; 100% in HCA (p< 0.05).
