Resumen

BRESSLER HERNANDEZ, Norlan; MORET VARA, Sheyla  y  BLANCO SELLES, Raimundo. Laparoscopic Resection of Hepatic Tumor. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2022, vol.61, n.4  Epub 01-Dic-2022. ISSN 1561-2945.

Introduction:

Laparoscopic surgery, since its introduction in 1987, has undergone enormous development. Laparoscopic hepatic surgery of liver tumors raises several controversies: surgeons must be trained in hepatic surgery and laparoscopic surgery, the most appropriate laparoscopic technique is not well defined (totally laparoscopic or hand-assisted), the approach to or dissection of large vessels involves significant risks, the methods for parenchymal section are less developed than in open hepatic surgery, among other challenges. Despite these criterions, there are situations in which the surgery can be performed safely, above all in benign and malignant tumors when the lesions are located mainly in anterior segments of the liver.

Objective:

To present the case of a patient with a hepatic lesion and operated on by videolaparoscopy with good outcomes and excellent evolution.

Clinical case:

A 42-year-old female patient with a family history of disease presented abdominal pain of three months of evolution in the right hypochondrium and sporadic dyspeptic disorders. Imaging confirmed a tumor of 5 cm of diameter in segment III, with hemangiomatous aspect, mixed component and suspicion of malignancy. Laparoscopic resection was performed; the anatomopathological diagnosis was regenerative nodule, similar to a cirrhotic nodule with cavernous hemangioma of peripheral location in healthy liver, with no evidence of malignancy in the performed studies.

Conclusions:

Surgical resections of hepatic lesions that can be laparoscopically approached are a safe and very valid therapeutic option in patients with specific indications.
