Fig. 1.6 CT scanning for the patient with HCC located in the right lobe. The arterial phase showed identical HCC enhancement (a) and suspected diaphragm invasion (b), but no lymphonode metastasis was presented; c, d the portal vein phase showed normal left branch of the portal vein, and suspected tumor pressure or tumor thrombus in the right branch of the portal vein; e, f the delayed phase showed the common branch of middle hepatic vein and left hepatic vein (e), and indicated that the middle hepatic vein was pressed by the tumor (f). The right hepatic vein could not be distinguished, probably was circled or pressed by the tumor
FLR/standardized liver volume (SLV) ratio > 20% was considered safe hepa­tectomy for patients with normal liver function, but >31% with impaired liver function [11–13]. SLV was calculated according to the following formula:
−794.41 + 1267.28 body surface area (m

)[14]. For this patient, the FLR/SLV
ratio is 46% for right hemi-hepatectomy, indicating safe surgery.

In our center, we routinely perform 3-D CT reconstruction and calculate the remnant liver volume (Fig. 1.7). In our experience, FLR/ body weight (BW) ra­tio > 0.8% is considered safe hepatectomy for patients with no cirrhotic live, but >1% for those with cirrhotic liver. In this case, the total liver volume was
2216.7 cm

, the FLR (left liver lobe)/total liver ratio is 25.3%, the body weight of this patient is 45.6 kg, the FLR (left liver lobe)/BW ratio is 1.2%.
The evaluation of present hepatic function was based on the Child-Pugh scoring system [15]. This system has been widely accepted by clinicians to evaluate liver function, and to predict postoperative recovery. This patient did not show any sign of hepatic encephalopathy or ascites. ALB is 33 umol/L, total bilirubin and PT are normal. Therefore, the liver function of this patient is Child-pugh A (score 6). In addition, indocyanine green retention rate at 15 min (ICGR15) was examined to
1 Resection of Large Hepatocellular Carcinoma … 13
evaluate the liver functional reserve estimation [16–18]. The ICGR15 for this patient is 4.8%, indicating normal liver functional reservation. Gastroscopy was also performed and did not show obvious esophageal varices, indicating no portal hypertension.
Nutritional assessment was performed at admission according to Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) [19] and Nutrition Risk Index (NRI); 83.5–97.5 was considered as mildly malnourished, while <83.5 was considered as severely mal­nourished [19–21]. NRI was calculated with the formula: 1.519 serum albumin (Alb) (g/L) + 0.417 (current weight/usual weight) 100. Malnutrition was considered if the patients met at least one of two criteria: [20, 21]: (1) NRI 100, (2) any two of the following: current weight/ideal weight was 95%; serum Alb 35.0 g/L; or serum prealbumin was 200 mg/L. This female patient had mild malnutrition, as her serum prealbumin was 156 mg/L and NRI was 96.3%.
Management
Perioperative antiviral treatment was initiated as soon as the DNA level was identified. Entecavir tablet 0.5 mg was orally administered every day without interruption, and was administered via the nasogastric tube at the day of surgery. We highlighted the role of antiviral therapy, as clinical studies has proved that antiviral treatment for HBV relative HCC has the role of reducing postoperative complications and prolonging tumor-free survival [22, 23].
Right hemi-hepatectomy was performed in an open surgery for this patient. Laparoscopic hepatectomy was not considered, owing to the following factors: (1) the tumor is too huge to expose under laparoscopy; (2) diaphragm invasion or adhesion results in difficulty of right liver mobilization; (3) thrombectomy is required in case that thrombus existed in the right branch of the portal vein, which is hard to perform under laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, open surgery was performed through a right subcostal incision with midline extension.
The Chen’s double-hanging maneuver was applied to assist liver parenchyma transection (Fig. 1.8). In this case, the two-hanging tapes played the following roles: (1) guide the transection plane; (2) hemorrhage control; (3) protect the middle hepatic vein and IVC; (4) expose the transection tunnel; (5) minimize the pressure of the tumor during operation to reduce tumor spreading. No bleeding presented when we built the retrohepatic tunnel and set up the hanging tapes.
The whole liver parenchyma transection time is less than 30 min, and total intraoperative hemorrhage is 150 ml. The middle hepatic vein and IVC were pro­tected well. No tumor thrombus was observ ed in the portal vein system, after we dissected the right branch of the portal vein. The remnant liver has light liver cirrhosis, but its volume was more than enough for this thin wom an.
We provided omega-3 fatty acid-based parenteral nutrition for the patient for 5 days after surgery, as a lower content of n-6 unsaturated FA in lipid emulsion than in conventional pure soybean oil emulsion was suggested by the European Society of Enteral and Parental Nutrition (ESPEN) for cirrhotic patients [24].

unpublished clinical study provided evidences that this omega-3 fatty acid-based parenteral nutrition improves postoperative recovery for cirrhotic patients with HCC.
Outcome
The removed tumor mass showed adequate liver resection and negative transection margin (Fig. 1.9). The tumor was 15 cm 10 cm 10 cm in size and showed clear tumor margin. Histologic examination of the tumor was consistent with HCC of moderate differentiation.
The patient in this case was discharged from the hospital 7 days after surgery. Diet was started the 2 day after the operation, and liver function was recovered to normal 3 days postoperatively. No major complication presented, except minor pleural effusion that did not require any treatment.
AFP and ultrasonography were examined every month, while CT scanning and HBV-DNA were examined every 3 months. After 13 months follow-up, CT scanning did not shown recurrence or metastasis. HBV-DNA was controlled in the normal level (<100 copies/ml). AFP level waved at different follow-up time point, but lower than 500 ng/ml.

Debulking of Extensive Neuroendocrine Liver Metastases

Douglas L. Fraker and Steven K. Libutti

Introduction

The incidence of neuroendocrine tumors (NET) primarily in the mid-gut, but also of the pancreas, has increased significantly over the past two decades. The cause for this increase in incidence is not clear. Patients with mid-gut NET may present with symptoms of diarrhea as well as flushing, but a large number of patients, despite volume disease and elevated secretory products, may be asymptomatic. Similarly, patients with pancreas NET often present as asymptomatic lesions of the liver. These malignancies frequently metastasize to the liver and nowhere else. Patients who die from this malignant disease typically succumb to liver failure.
Patients with NET metastatic to the liver frequency have large numbers of lesions distributed evenly throughout the liver. The approach to these patients surgically is very different from the approach employed in the more well-defined patient population of metastatic colorectal cancer to the liver. Specifically, in treatment of colon cancer metastasis, there are clear guidelines related to numbers of lesions as well as the importance of doing a negative margin resection. For debulking of metastatic neuroendocrine tumors to the liver, there is no limitation in terms of number of lesions, and it is not important to have negative margins. In fact, it is more appropriate to resect lesions right on their capsule. Also, it is felt that

surgical debulking is beneficial to patients even if up to 30% of the disease is not able to be treated.

Case 1: Mid-Gut Neuroendocrine Tumor Metastatic to the Liver

The patient is a 62-year-old man with a past history of papillary thyroid cancer 6 years earlier, in complete remission, who presented with flushing and a change in bowel habits with going from one bowel movement per day to two to three loose bowel movements per day. He had imaging with CT scan that showed a dominant 6 cm right inferior segment hepatic lesion, additional lesions up to 3 cm in the right hepatic lobe, a 3 cm caudate metastasis, and small lesions in the left liver (Fig. 2.1). The pancreas appeared normal, and the official reading said there was no evidence of any small bowel lym phadenopathy or lesions in the small intestine. A biopsy was performed of the large level 6 lesion and it showed a metastatic neuroendocrine tumor. Twenty-four hour urinary 5HIAA was elevated at 13 mg/24 h (upper limits of normal 7.5). He was treated with Sandostatin, with resolution of his flushing and improvement in his bowel function. No other efforts at treatment and no endoscopic

studies were performed at an outside institution. An initial interval scan at 6 months showed an increase in size of his right segment 6 hepatic metastasis from 6 cm up to 8 cm. The remaining lesions were stable, and no new lesions appeared and there were no other findings. He was referred to our multidisciplinary neuroendocrine tumor group.
An octreoscan was obtained and it showed activity in the hepatic metastasis; no activity in the small bowel mesentery, small bowel, or pancreas. Serum serotonin was elevated at 1,433 ng/mL (normal range 85–220). We performed upper endo­scopy and colonoscopy, which showed no lesions. He had a capsule endoscopy which was negative.
He was seen in surgical consultation and was recommended to have an explo­ration with liver debulking, including intraoperative identification of his mid-gut primary and planned resection. He had been receiving monthly Sandostatin injec­tions, and an intravenous Sandostatin drip was prepared for infusion as needed for carcinoid storm. The approach was right subcostal incision with extension to the left side. The lateral aspects of the subcostal incision was not curved superiorly as is typical for right hepatic lobectomy, but rather went more inferiorly to allow exploration of the abdominal cavity for his primary to facilitate exploration of the abdominal cavity for a primary lesion. The initial part of the operation was to assess the primary. It was found immediately on palpation of the distal small bowel which was in the pelvis. The hepatic flexure of the colon and area of the ileo-cecal valve was completely mobilized with some tethering of the primary lesion and palpable lymph nodes in a loop of distal small bowel mesentery in the pelvis. This distal small bowel was brought up into the subcostal incision and there was careful palpation of the bowel from the ligament of Treitz to the ileocecal valve. The solitary lesion approximately 8 cm proximal to ileocecal valve was the only mass palpated. This had not been visualized by colonoscopy.
For mid-gut NET that are more than 20% proximal to the ileocecal valve, every effort is made to try to preserve the ileocecal valve and do a segmental small bowel resection. At this site and with the location of the lymph node metastasis neces­sitating resection of the right colic trunk, a right hemicolectomy with resection of segment of small bowel and nodal metastasis was performed with standard anas­tomosis. Once the bowel resection and anastomsis was completed, the retractors were completely shifted from exposi ng the lower aspect of the abdomen to exposing the liver. The live r was completely mobilized and assessed by palpation and intraoperative ultrasound. The dominant segment 6 lesion was easily felt, there were four to five additional lesions in the right lobe > 1 cm and a large palpable caudate mass. The left and right liver had multiple small palpable metastases (Fig. 2.2). A cholecystectomy was performed. In this case, it was not necessary to remove the gallbladder to address any of the hepatic nodules, but for patients with NET with a laparoscopic approach, or certainly with an open approach liver metastasis, it is mandatory to remove the gallbladder as long-term use of Sando­statin will lead to formation of gallstones and ability to approach the gallbladder laparoscopically is compromised after such an extensive hepatic debulking proce­dure. To address the dominant lesion in the right segment 6, the right hepatic lobe

was completely mobilized off the inferior vena cava. The feeding vasculature from the inferior segmental portal triad was assessed by surgeon-directed ultrasound and entered the lesion at the inferior medial border of this mass. The approach was to identify the margin of this large hepatic metastasis in a lateral avascular area. As is typical, it was firm, white, and once we were on the capsule either with blunt dissection with a finger or with a right angle, the surrounding parenchyma was swept away. When bridging vessels were seen, they were controlled with clips or Aquamontys ablation. Intraoperative ultrasound-guided dissection to where the main trunk was plastered over this and a vascular stapler was used to divide the main trunk. This large lesion was removed with very little surrounding parenchyma and very little blood loss (Fig. 2.3a). The cut parenchyma of the base was con­trolled with argon beam laser. All other small nodules were then addressed. Any nodule larger than 5 mm on the surface was resected with cautery and some exo­phytic lesions sharply resected with the base treated with cautery. Lesions just under the surface in the range of 1–3 cm had a circular incision made with cautery right over the palpable nodule. Once the white capsule of the nodule was identified, again blunt dissection either with the finger or right angle clamp was used to go around this often resecting 3 cm lesions in under 30 s. Several small 2–4mm lesions were controlled with Aquamontys ablation on the surface with the typical popping noise (Fig. 2.3b). Ultrasound revealed two lesions, one in the caudate that was medially posterior to the main left segmental portal triad (Fig. 2.1) and a second lesion that was deep anterior to the right portal triad. An attempt was made to enucleate the caudate lesion, but it was too close to the main left portal structures.
