Abstract

Background: At facilities with qualified surgeons, laparoscopic methods for liver resection have gained recognition. The safety and viability of laparoscopic liver resection have improved thanks to improved methods and technological developments that have/ made it possible to regulate intrahepatic blood vessels and bile ducts better. Liver resection by minimally invasive techniques is still up for discussion. Aim: The goal of this study is to assess the immediate postoperative results of hepatic resection for benign hepatic lesions.
Patients and methods: One hundred patients with a benign hepatic focal lesion participated in this cross-sectional study, 85 patients underwent open hepatoectomy and 15 patients underwent laparoscopic hepatoectomy. Results: There was no significant difference found among study groups in operative time and intraoperative complications however, bleeding was insignificantly greater among open group. Postoperative complications were higher among open group as post hepatoectomy liver failure, bile leak, chest infection, wound infection and cardiac complications but with statistically insignificant differences (p>0.05). Conclusion: This research compared the effectiveness of laparoscopic versus open liver resections, the laparoscopic group experienced fewer problems and had lower morbidity.
