What are the complications of left lobe hepatectomy

summary

The liver is an anti alcohol organ in the human body. People who drink a lot are prone to liver disease. A friend who is a salesman recently underwent right lobectomy. I'd like to talk about the complications after right lobectomy.

What are the complications of left lobe hepatectomy

Complication 1: liver failure. Liver cancer patients are mostly complicated with hepatitis B cirrhosis, liver function is poor, and some patients have decompensation of liver cirrhosis before operation. Although it can be corrected before operation, patients are prone to acute liver failure after operation.

Complication 2: postoperative bleeding: the liver has two sets of blood supply system of hepatic artery and portal vein, the texture of liver resection is soft, intraoperative hemostasis is difficult, is one of the most serious postoperative complications, serious can lead to death of patients, mostly in a few hours or days after operation. Death will also happen. We must keep it in mind, and don't think that if it is removed, it won't be a big problem.

Complication 3: jaundice began to see urine color deepening, soon appeared skin, mucous membrane and sclera yellow staining, and rapidly deepened. Due to massive necrosis of hepatocytes, the liver can shrink rapidly, and the boundary of liver voiced sound shrinks during percussion, which can be further confirmed by B-mode ultrasonography. There is a moldy odor in the exhaled breath of patients, namely liver odor, whose intensity is consistent with the degree of hepatocyte necrosis.

matters needing attention

To improve the general condition of patients. In addition to the application of various vitamins, 100ml-200ml 50% glucose solution was injected intravenously 1-2 weeks before operation. If anemia, iron can be given. Do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat stimulating food, to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and to maintain a good mood, pay attention to diet.
