Identify potential long term survivors Stop bleeding • Catastrophic event • Initial management is important
Chan SY, F/43, @ 15.7.2007 • Known HBV carrier, L lobe liver mass • Sudden onset RUQ pain with shock • BP 70/45 P110, confused • Bedside USG: FF in Morrison’s pouch • Child’s A, Hb 12 g/dL • CT abdomen with contrast • Hemodynamically unstable
Chan SY, F/43, @ 15.7.2008 • Laparotomy: 4 cm S2&3 ruptured HCC, cirrhosis, 2L blood with clot • Perihepatic packing & LHA ligation at falciform ligament level • Further resuscitation in ICU • 2nd stage laparotomy 24 hrs later • Left lateral sectionectomy • Discharged post-op D7 • Last FU 8.8.2008: well no recurrence
TMH series 2004-2007 Survival: 32 months (12-48) Survival: 7 months (3-8)
Early diagnosis ? Men ? Younger age ? Trauma hx ? Known HCC ? Cirrhosis ? HBV / HCV ? Shock ? RUQ/ epigastric pain ? Abd distension/ peritonism ?USG : FF
Early Resuscitation Correct coagulopathy Blood Transfusion
Assessment of patient Independent poor prognostic factors for 30 day mortality Tan et al, ANZJ Surg 2006 Candidate for liver resection Wang et al, ANZJ Surg 2008
Early CT scan ? Portal vein thrombosis ? Peripheral location ? Well-defined tumor
Early Transarterial embolization TAE • To stop arterial bleeding • Success rate: 83-100% • Liver failure rate: 19-29% • Re-rupture rate: up to 35% Lai et al, Arch Surg 2006
Early operation • Open hemostasis • Operable and unstable • Stop the venous bleeding
Liver resection • Survival benefit can be observed in patient with curative liver resection. Lai et al, Arch Surg 2006 • One stage resection: shorter hospital stay Liu et al, World J Surg 2005 • TMH: 2nd staged operation • 24 hours later
Summary • Life threateningevent • Multidiscriplinary approach • Stop bleeding • Identify the potential candidate who can have long survival after Rx
