Major hepatectomies for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma: Predictors for clinically relevant postoperative complications using the International Study Group of Liver Surgery definitions

Abstract: Clinically relevant morbidity rates after major hepatectomies for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma are high. Liver failure represents the main complication and is correlated with the number of transfused blood units. A patient with increased bilirubinemia appears to have a high risk for postoperative hemorrhage. Biliary drainage and portal vein resection does not appear to have a detrimental effect on morbidities. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is a novel independent predictor for severe morbidity after major hepa… Show more

“…The large variability of reported liver failure rates might be significantly influenced by the variations in the definition of liver failure. Thus, the postoperative liver failure rates after hepatectomies appear to be higher when the ISGLS definition is used (14,23), as it was the case in the present series. Nagino and coworkers, in a single-center experience of 574 patients with curative-intent surgery for PHC with and without a PVR, reported a postoperative liver failure rate of 53.5% using the ISGLS definition (11).…”

“…The practice of curative-intent surgery and the safety of a PVR in PHC in East European countries is poorly known because very few studies were published (3,8,14,(34)(35)(36)(37). The experience gained in our surgical center with curative-intent surgery for PHC has been reflected in previous publications (3,8,14,38).…”
