ABSTRACT

Introduction: Laparoscopic liver resection has increasingly been used as a therapeutic modality in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its use in the treatment of spontaneously ruptured HCC has not been well documented.

Case Description: We describe a case of spontaneously ruptured HCC successfully treated with early totally laparoscopic liver resection.

Discussion: Early laparoscopic resection of ruptured HCC is feasible and should be considered in the treatment algorithm of selected patients who have been well stabilized.

Key Words: Laparoscopy, Hepatectomy, Hepatocellular carcinoma, Ruptured, HCC, Resection.

ABSTRACT

Laparoscopic liver resection has increasingly been used as a therapeutic modality in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its use in the treatment of spontaneously ruptured HCC has not been well documented. We describe a case of spontaneously ruptured HCC successfully treated with hand-assisted laparoscopic liver resection.

Key Words: Hand-assisted laparoscopy, Laparoscopy, Hepatectomy, Hepatocellular carcinoma, Ruptured.

ABSTRACT

Synchronous resection of primary neuroendocrine tumors (NET) with liver metastases remains controversial, although recent studies have demonstrated its safety in select patients. Synchronous laparoscopic gastric and liver resection has been rarely reported. We report the case of a 65-year-old man who underwent successful simultaneous D2 subtotal gastrectomy with hepatectomy and cholecystectomy for metastatic gastric NET. This is the first reported case of totally laparoscopic simultaneous D2 gastrectomy with hepatectomy and cholecystectomy for metastatic gastric NET. Laparoscopic simultaneous gastrectomy and hepatectomy is feasible and safe in select patients with metastatic gastric NET.

Key Words: Laparoscopy, Hepatectomy, Gastrectomy, Simultaneous, Neuroendocrine tumor, liver, gastric, resection, carcinoid.
