An observational study in Surgery, Liver Tumors and Hepatectomy, sponsored by University of Milan. Completed. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-06-01.
Sponsored by University of Milan · Observational
The performance of hepatectomy for liver tumors using the thoraco-abdominal approach (TAA) versus the abdominal approach (AA) is still debated.
The aim of the study is the analysis of the perioperative outcome of patients operated with or without the TAA for liver tumors.
The prospectively maintained database was queried. A 1:1 propensity score-matched analysis was applied. Among 744 patients, 246 undergoing hepatectomy with TAA and 246 undergoing hepatectomy with AA were compared. These patients were matched for baseline characteristics, underlying liver disease, comorbidity, tumor features, and extent of the resection. The rates of morbidity and mortality were the study endpoints.
1,391 studies on the registry are indexed under Liver Neoplasms; 345 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 744 is above the median of 200 across 350 observational studies indexed under Liver Neoplasms.
