Abstract:Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic and laparotomy in treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods 182 HCC patients from May 2017 to July 2019 were selected as the research object, and they were divided into the laparoscopic group with 90 cases and the laparotomy group with 92 cases according to the treatment methods of the patients; The laparoscopic group was given laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH), and the Open group was given open liver resection (OH); The surgical indexes, liver function indexes, postoperative complications and follow-up situation were compared between the two groups. The surgical indicators, liver function indicators, immune index, postoperative complications and follow-up situation were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the open group, the incision length [(6.24 ± 1.33) cm vs (14.45 ± 2.62) cm], intraoperative blood loss [(108.51 ± 22.62) mL vs (193.85 ± 32.73) mL], anal exhaust time [(2.23 ± 0.71) d vs (3.47 ± 0.94) d], drainage time [(5.24 ± 1.12) d vs (6.73 ± 1.36) d], hospital stay [(14.84 ± 3.01) d vs (18.45 ± 3.62) d] of laparoscopic group was significantly shorter, the operation time of the laparoscopic group is longer than that in open group, but there is no statistical difference [(133.61 ± 25.71) min vs (130.14 ± 24.82) min, P > 0.05]. 3 days after operation, GPT [(302.36 ± 61.52) u/L vs (458.35 ± 82.43) u/L], TBIL [(35.24 ± 17.62) μmol/L vs (43.76 ± 8.57) μmol/L], GOT [(245.26 ± 51.38) u/L vs (368.53 ± 62.35) u/L) of laparoscopic group was significantly lower than open group (P < 0.05). 3 days after surgery, CD3+[(61.38 ± 5.93)% vs (57.21 ± 5.13)%], CD4+[(42.44 ± 5.31)% vs (37.84 ± 5.23)%], CD4+/CD8+ [(1.58 ± 0.28) vs (1.33 ± 0.27)] level of laparotomy group was significantly higher than open group (P < 0.05), and CD8+ level of laparoscopic group was lower than that of open group, but the difference was not significant [(26.72±4.31)% vs (28.06 ± 4.45)%, P > 0.05]. The incidence of complications in the laparoscopic group was significantly lower than that in the open group (3.33% vs 11.96%, P < 0.05). After 1 year of follow-up, 5 patients (5.56%) died and 5 patients (5.56%) relapsed in the laparoscopic group, and 4 patients (4.35%) died and 6 patients (6.52%) relapsed in the open group. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion LH treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma can significantly improve the surgical index, liver function and immune function, and reduce the complication of patients. There is no significant difference between follow-up and open hepatectomy.
