Anesthesia for laparoscopic liver surgery 179
Box 11.3 ASA advisory statements for patient positioning
Preoperative history and physical assessment
When judged appropriate, it is helpful to ascertain that patients can comfortably tolerate the anticipated operative position
Specific positioning strategies for the upper extremities
• Arm abduction in supine patients should be limited to 90°
• Supine patient with arm on an armboard
♦
The upper extremity should be positioned to decrease pressure on the postcondylar groove of the humerus (ulnar groove)
♦
Either supination or the neutral forearm position facilitates this action
• Supine patient with arms tucked at side
♦
The forearm should be in a neutral position
♦
Flexion of the elbow may increase the risk of ulnar neuropathy, but there is no consensus on an acceptable degree of flexion during the perioperative period
• Prolonged pressure on the radial nerve in the spiral groove of the humerus should be avoided
• Extension of the elbow beyond the range that is comfortable during the preoperative assessment may stretch the median nerve
• Periodic perioperative assessments may ensure maintenance of the desired position
Specific positioning strategies for the lower extremities
• Stretching of the hamstring muscle group
♦
Positions that stretch the hamstring muscle group beyond the range that is comfortable during the preoperative assessment may stretch the sciatic nerve
• Limiting hip flexion
♦
Because the sciatic nerve or its branches cross both the hip and the knee joints, extension and flexion of these joints, respectively, should be considered when determining the degree of hip flexion
• Neither extension nor flexion of the hip increases the risk of femoral neuropathy
• Prolonged pressure on the peroneal nerve at the fibular head should be avoided
Protective padding
• Padded armboards may decrease the risk of upper extremity neuropathy
• The use of chest rolls in the laterally positioned patient may decrease the risk of upper extremity neuropathy
• Padding at the elbow may decrease the risk of upper extremity neuropathy
• The use of specific padding to prevent pressure of a hard surface against the peroneal nerve at the fibular head may decrease the
risk of peroneal neuropathy
• The inappropriate use of padding (e.g. padding too tight) may increase the risk of perioperative neuropathy
Equipment
• The use of properly functioning automated blood pressure cuffs on the arm (i.e. placed above the antecubital fossa) does not change the risk of upper extremity neuropathy
• The use of shoulder braces in a steep head-down position may increase the risk of perioperative neuropathies
Postoperative assessment
• A simple postoperative assessment of extremity nerve function may lead to early recognition of peripheral neuropathies
Documentation
• Documentation of specific perioperative positioning actions may be useful for continuous improvement processes and may result in improvements by (i) helping practitioners focus attention on relevant aspects of patient positioning, and (ii) providing informa­tion on positioning strategies that eventually leads to improvements in patient care

KEY POINTS
• Liver pathophysiology is dependent on underlying liver disease and tumor histology. Resulting changes in coagulation and metabolism have to be considered.
• A thorough preoperative patient assessment is important, taking specific aspects of laparoscopy and liver surgery into account.
• Establishment of pneumoperitoneum and patient positioning have critical effects on ventilation, hemodynamics, and end-organ
perfusion, including the liver.
• Establishment and maintenance of anesthesia need to be accomplished with low IVC pressures to minimize hepatic ve nous bleeding.
• Complications specific to laparoscopic liver surgery such as gas embolism require prevention and management strategies.
• Successful advanced laparoscopic liver surgery can only be accomplished if surgeon and anesthesiologist establish a relationship
of excellent communication and trust.

CHAPTER 12
Oncological management of primary liver cancer in the era of minimal access surgery

EDITOR COMMENT
In this chapter, an expert view on the general oncological management of primary liver cancer is given. Primary liver cancers, which include hepatocellular carcinoma and biliary tract cancers, represent a major global health problem. For patients with early-stage disease, surgical resection represents an optimal curative treatment modality with a growing role for the minimally invasive approach; ablative therapy can also be considered for small hepatocellular carcinomas. The overall prognosis for primary liver cancers remains poor because of the presence of advanced-stage disease for most patients at the time of diagnosis, underlying liver dysfunction that limits treatment options and survival, and only modest benefits of systemic therapy. Despite these problems, advances in surgical, radiation, and hepatic artery-based techniques plus the development of molecularly targeted agents have led to improvements in patient outcome. The reader will learn how a dedicated multidisciplinary approach is critical for optimizing patient outcomes.

12.1 Introduction
As the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, primary liver cancers, which include hepatocellular carcinoma and biliary tract cancers, repre­sent a major global health problem [1]. Liver cancers are most prevalent in less developed regions of the world but also remain a challenge in developed nations. In the United States, the incidence and mortality rates are increasing for liver cancers, in contrast to stable or declin­ing trends for most other cancers [2]. The prognosis for patients with primary liver cancers remains poor because of the presence of advanced, unresectable disease for most patients at the time of diagnosis, underlying liver disease that limits treatment options and survival, and only mod­est benefits of systemic therapy. Despite these problems, advances in surgical, radiation, and interventional radiol­ogy techniques plus the development of molecularly tar­geted agents have led to improvements in patient

outcome. A multidisciplinary approach is critical for opti­mizing outcome of patients with primary liver cancers.
12.2 Hepatocellular carcinoma
Several factors pose challenges to the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). First, most patients present with advanced disease or vascular inva­sion that limits curative treatment options, including surgery, liver transplantation, or ablative therapy. Sec­ond, HCC arises in the setting of chronic liver disease and cirrhosis in over 80% of patients [3,4]. Underlying liver disease can adversely affect overall survival, limit surgical options, and influence tolerance to anticancer therapy by affecting drug metabolism and increasing risk of adverse events. Finally, HCC has a chemoresistant phenotype with a complex and heterogeneous biology that has posed challenges to the efficacy of systemic therapy.

Various staging schemes exist for stratifying patient outcome,each of which has its advantagesand limitations. Whereas the TNM system of the American Joint Commit­tee on Cancer(AJCC) incorporates pathologicalfeatures of disease [5,6], others, such as the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) [7], Cancer of the Liver Italian Program (CLIP)[8], Okuda [9], JapanIntegratedStagingScore [10],
algorithm based on stage (Figure 12.1). Although treat­ment algorithms such as the one proposed by the BCLC are helpful for understanding options that exist for par­ticular groups patients, it is important to recognize that indications and treatment are evolving and that individ­ualizing treatment decisions within the context of multi-
disciplinary evaluation remains critical. and Chinese University Prognostic Index (CUPI) [11] sys­tems, take into account measures of underlying liver function in addition to an assessment of extent of disease. Although multiple staging and scoring systemsexist, there is not one universally accepted classification. Further­more, because of the geographic variation in risk factors for development of HCC, one staging system may perform better than others in certain regions.
The BCLC staging system, which includes factors related to tumor burden, liver function, and performance status, also incorporates a recommended treatment
12.2.1 Management of early-stage HCC
For patients with early-stage HCC, potentially curative treatment options exist, including surgical resection, liver transplantation, or ablative therapies. For patients with­out cirrhosis, surgical resection is the preferred manage­ment [12,13]; five-year survival following resection in these patients approaches 50% [14–16]. The majority of patients (>80%), however, develop HCC within the context of cirrhosis. Resection of HCC in patients with cirrhosis requires cautious selection, taking into account

tumor-related features (number and size of lesions, vas­cular invasion, presence of extrahepatic disease) and patient-dependent factors (liver function, performance status, medical comorbidities) [15,17–20]. Optimal out­comes following resection of HCC have been observed in patients with preserved liver function without evidence of portal hypertension, adequate hepatic reserve to toler­ate resection, disease confined to the liver, and small (3 cm), solitary tumors without evidence of vascular invasion. There is growing evidence that laparoscopic resection of HCC can be performed safely with equivalent oncological outcomes compared with open surgery and with lower perioperative morbidity, particularly in patients with cirrhosis [21,22]. Although risk of recur­rence is higher, surgery may still have a role in the management of larger, multifocal tumors and disease associated with vascular invasion [19,23,24].
The presence of lymph node metastasis in patients with HCC is a poor prognostic factor. The presence of patho­logically proven lymph node metastasis in the absence of distant metastatic disease was found in one recent study to be associated with an outcome similar to locally advanced disease [25]. Other studies of patients with HCC who have undergone curative hepatic resection and lymph node resection have shown similar results [26]. However, the role and clinical impact of routine regional lymphadenectomy in patients with HCC remain under debate. For patients without cirrhosis undergoing resection of HCC, lymph node dissection can provide important staging and prognostic information. However, in patients with cirrhosis, lymph node excision can impair lymphatic drainage and increase the risk of postoperative ascites [27]. The possible benefits of lymph node excision need to be balanced against this added risk.
Among patientswith HCC with advanced cirrhosis who are not candidates for resection, orthotopic liver trans­plantation can be considered for selected patients. The benefits of liver transplantation include the removal of both tumor and underlying diseased liver. In a landmark study by Mazzafero and colleagues, liver transplantation was associated with a four-year overall survival rate of 85% and a recurrence-free survivalrate of 92% in patients with HCC and a single lesion 5 cm or up to three tumors, each 3 cm, and no evidence of vascular invasion and no nodal metastatic disease [28]. These criteria, known as the Milan criteria, have been used widely in the selection of patients for liver transplant although efforts are being made to expand the indications for transplantation.
For patients with small HCCs who are poor surgical candidates because of impaired liver function or other serious medical comorbidities, local ablative therapy with techniques including radiofrequency ablation (RFA), per­cutaneous ethanol injection (PEI), laser, and microwave thermal ablation can be considered. RFA has become a more widely used option since recent studies have shown superior outcome with RFA compared with PEI, particu­larly for tumors >2cm [29–31]. RFA also has been com- pared to surgical resection for HCC in several randomized trials. The results have varied, with some studies demon­strating superior overall survival and recurrence-free sur­vival rates for patients undergoing surgery [32] and others showing no differences in survival between the two treat­ment groups [33,34]. A recent meta-analysis of 10 random­ized controlled trials or large cohort studies comparing percutanous ablation therapy with surgical resection for early-stage HCC demonstrated improved overall survival and recurrence-free survival with surgery [35].
12.2.1.1 Neoadjuvant and adjuvant strategies
Unfortunately, only 10–30% of patients with HCC are candidates for surgical resection at the time of diagnosis, andrecurrentHCCisreportedin50–80% of patients five years after resection [12,20,36–38]. Most recurrences are intrahepatic and may reflect local recurrence or develop­ment of a second primary lesion. Neoadjuvant approaches, including regional therapy with transarterial chemoembo­lization (TACE), have been examined as a means to improve disease control prior to resection [39–42]. However, neo­adjuvant therapy has not been associated with improvement in overall survival. Furthermore, TACE prior to surgery for resectable disease has been associated with worse survival, potentially because of a delay in surgical resection [40–43].
The benefit of adjuvant medical therapy following resection of HCC is uncertain and remains under investi­gation. Most HCCs are chemorefractory in nature, and thus, cytotoxic chemotherapy has no proven benefitfol­lowing surgical resection. Furthermore, in patients with cirrhosis,an increasein mortalityrelated to administration of postoperative therapy has been demonstrated [44,45].
Sorafenib, a small molecule tyrosinekinaseinhibitorthat blocks Raf signaling and vascular endothelial growth factor recptor (VEGFR), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and c-kit, has been shown to improve overall survival in patients with advanced HCC [46–48]. Cases have been reported of significant necrosis associated with sorafenib use and subsequent ability to resect HCC [49]. However, the
188 Chapter 12
absence of significant tumor response decreases the likeli­hood of surgery for initially unresectable HCC following treatment with sorafenib. The benefit of adjuvant sorafenib was investigated in the STORM study, an international, randomized, phase III study of sorafenib versus placebo following surgical resection or local ablation of HCC. No difference in recurrence-free survival, time to recurrence or overall survival was observed with administration of adju­vant sorafenib compared with placebo [50]. Thus, there is no role for sorafenib following resection of HCC.
12.2.2 Management of intermediate­stage HCC
Transarterial chemoembolization is a widely used treat­ment option for patients with intermediate-stage HCC who have relatively well-preserved liver function, large (>5 cm) or multifocal tumors without main portal vein occlusion or the presence of extrahepatic disease [3,12]. A survival benefit for TACE has been demonstrated in two randomized controlled trials. In the first study, Llovet and colleagues found that TACE with doxorubicin was asso­ciated with improved overall survival compared with best supportive care in patients with unresectable HCC and Child–Pugh class A or B liver dysfunction. The one- and two-year survival probabilities were 82% and 63% in patients treated with TACE compared with 63% and 27% of patients receiving a supportive care approach [51]. Similarly, in a second study of patients with unresectable HCC, Lo and colleagues found that TACE with cisplatin and lipiodol was associated with a 57% and 31% one- and two-year survival, compared with 32% and 11% for patients receiving supportive care [52]. Despite these promising results, TACE has not been associated with improved overall survival (OS) in other randomized clinical trials [53,54]. Other embolization techniques, including drug-eluting beads TACE and yttrium-90 radio­embolization, and external beam radiation have demon­strated encouraging antitumor activity in patients with unresectable, intermediate-stage HCC [55–59].
Sorafenib has also been investigated as an adjunct to chemoembolization. Po st-TACE administration of sor­afenib was associated with improved time to tumor progression (TTP) in a randomized phase II study of patients with hepatitis C and intermediate-stage HCC randomized to receive postproced ure sorafenib or pla­cebo (9.2 months for sorafeni b versus 4.9 months for placebo, P < 0.001) [60]. Howe ver, sora fenib foll owing or concurrent with TACE has not demonstrated
improvement in TTP in other studies [61,62]. Thus, existing studies suggest modest if any delay in disease progression with postembolization sorafenib; the sur­vival benefit of adding sorafenib to TACE remains under investigation.
There is also a growing body of evidence that radiation therapy can provide sustained local control for HCC not suited for other locoregional treatments and for disease associated with portal vein thrombus [58,59,63,64]. A recent phase II study examining high-dose hypofractio­nated proton beam radiation therapy for patients with locally advanced, unresectable HCC and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma demonstrated a high two-year local control rate of 94.8% for patients with HCC, supporting further studies on radiation in patients with primary liver cancers [64]. Whether improved local control will trans­late into an improvement in overall survival still needs to be determined. Finally, the questions of which patients benefit most from radiation and where radiation fits within the spectrum of other local therapies for HCC remain under investigation.
12.2.3 Advanced-stage HCC
12.2.3.1 Systemic chemotherapy
Cytotoxic chemotherapy has modest efficacy against HCC, which has been attributed to inherent chemoresistance related to upregulation of multidrug resistance genes and drug efflux mechanisms [65–67].Furthermore,chemo­therapy may not be well tolerated in patients with signifi- cant underlying liver dysfunction because of altered drug metabolism and medical comorbidities. Finally, a benefitof therapy may be difficult to ascertain owing to the poor survival of patients related to advanced liver disease. Dox­orubicin has been the most widely investigated cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agent for advanced HCC. Despite a mod­est objective response rate of 20% or less, two controlled trials have suggested that doxorubicin may be associated with a small survival advantage than either best supportive care alone or noletrexed, an inhibitor of thymidylate synthase [68,69].
Many other cytotoxic chemotherapy agents, including gemicitabine [70,71], irinotecan [72], paclitaxel [73], and capecitabine [74], have been tested in HCC in phase II studies. Response rates ranging from 10% to 30% have been reported, but no clear effect on survival has been identified. Combination chemotherapy, with a regimen such as cisplatin, interferon, doxorubicin, and 5-fluorouracil (PIAF), may be associated with a higher
