Feasibility and safety of ALPPS procedure: our experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) is a surgical strategy for patients with advanced liver tumors and inadequate future liver remnants (FLR). This study compares post-operative outcomes between open (oALPPS) and robotic (rALPPS) ALPPS in our institution.

Methods

This retrospective monocentric study includes eleven patients who underwent ALPPS procedure between January 2023 and February 2024. Demographics, tumor characteristics, and intra- and post-operative outcomes were collected and analyzed.

Results

In the first-stage ALPPS, the frequency of intermittent hilum clamp and the estimated blood loss were higher in the oALPPS group, while operative time and complications were similar, and total hospital stay
