Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the short-term outcomes of anatomical right hepatectomy for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Subject and method: This was a retrospective descriptive study of the cases who underwent anatomical right hepatetomy for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma at the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery in National Cancer Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023. Result: Elective surgery was performed for 14 patients. The average age was 61.8 ± 10.1 years; sex ratio was 1.33 male per 1 female; hepatitis B and hepatitis C related: 7.1%. CA 19-9 and CEA levels were elevated in 57.1% and 7.1% of cases, respectively. Most patients had a solitary tumor (78.6%) with a size larger than 5cm (28.6%) in a CT scan. All patients underwent local lymphadenectomy, including lymph nodes at the hepatoduodenal ligament along the common hepatic artery and retro-pancreatic space. The mean operation time was 166.3 ± 55.4 min. Postoperative pathology: II and IIIB TNM staging (42.9%, respectively), satellite nodules (50%), vascular invasion (28.6%), and lymph node metastases (9.7%). Postoperative complications occurred in 5 patients, including ascites (21.4%), liver failure (7.1%), sepsis (7.1%) and pneumonia (7.1%). The classification of complications according to Clavien–Dindo indicated grades I (60%) and II (40%). There was no perioperative mortality. The average length of hospital stay was 14.3 ± 8.1 days. Conclusion: Right hepatectomy for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a feasible, safe and effective method.
