Liver tissue sparing resection using a novel planning tool

Abstract: Mint Liver is capable of acquiring exact anatomical and volumetric knowledge prior to hepatic resections. Liver parenchyma can be spared by preoperative assessment of the resection plan. We propose that this tool could be an important addition to preoperative patient evaluation, especially in complex liver surgery and living donor liver transplantation where precise volumetry is the decisive factor.

“…Several studies have so far demonstrated that a haemorrhage and the need for a transfusion not only adversely affect peri‐operative outcome 2,3 but also the long‐term prognosis of patients undergoing a hepatectomy for primary or secondary malignancies 4–6 . Advances in peri‐operative management, surgical technique and imaging tools have substantially decreased the risk of intra‐operative haemorrhage and the need for a blood transfusion over the past three decades 7–11 . This progress has contributed to the markedly improved outcome of patients undergoing a hepatic resection and high‐volumes centres currently report mortality rates below 5% 2,8,12,13 .…”

“…In this meta-analysis, only nine studies involving 808 patients were included; to date, this possibly represents the best information available to compare 3D versus 2D for LD. According to the NOS used for assessing the quality of the studies, articles included in this meta-analysis were graded with a score of 9 [19,22,25], 8 [21,23,24], or 7 [17,18,20] representing high quality concerning selection of patients, comparability, and exposure measurements. Our analysis reflects the latest surgical results.…”

“…Based on the pre-designed strategy, nine retrospective cohort studies (RCSs) [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] with a total of 808 patients for final analyses were selected ( Figure 1). Table I lists the main data extracted from these studies.…”

“…It was demonstrated that 80% of deaths caused by PLF occur after resecting more than 50% of the liver volume [4-6], and the PLF incidence increases with the number of resected segments [5]. Therefore, accurate preoperative volumetric calculation of total and partial liver volumes based on preoperative imaging and resection planning is crucial in the assessment of hepatic functional reserve and resectability, especially in cases of major liver resection and patients with underlying parenchymal disease [7]. Liver steatosis and steatohepatitis, for example, are associated with an increased risk of PLF after partial liver resection, especially after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, or in living donor liver transplantation [8].…”
