Improved Mortality, Morbidity, and Long-Term Outcome After Anatomical Hepatectomy With the Glissonean Pedicle Approach in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract

Anatomical hepatectomy with the Glissonean pedicle approach was achieved safely in patients with HCC. For more safety and longer survival, blood loss, bile leakage, and morbidity should be reduced. Longterm outcomes after anatomical hepatectomy with the Glissonean pedicle approach in patients with HCC have been improved over 30 years with gradually less mortality and morbidity due to decreases in blood loss >2 L and bile leakage.
