Abstract: Objective To explore the application value of left hepatic vein occlusion through Arantius ligament
in laparoscopic left liver resection. Methods Total of 56 cases underwent laparoscopic left liver resection in
our hospital from January 2014 to June 2016 were randomly selected and divided into two groups, with 28
cases in each group. Patients in control group were treated with traditional left hepatic vein occlusion, while
patients in observation group were treated with left hepatic vein occlusion through Arantius ligament. Various
indexes in perioperative period, postoperative complications, liver function before and after operation and the
level of stress reaction indexes were compared. Results Compared with control group, the bleeding amount
during operation in observation group was less, time of gastrointestinal function recovery and hospital stay
were shorter, the differences were statistically significant (t = 17.905, 2.017, 3.908; P < 0.001, 0.042, 0.019).
The operation time and hepatic blood flow blocking time had no statistically significant differences between
two groups (t = 0.965, 0.482; P = 0.104, 0.517). Hemodynamic parameters including peripheral vascular
resistance, pulmonary vascular resistance and mean arterial pressure in observation group before and after left
hepatic vein occlusion were more stable, there were significant differences between two groups at different
time points (P < 0.05). The postoperative complication rate in the observation group and control group were
3.57% and 17.85%, respectively, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 5.973, P = 0.014). After
surgery, indexes of liver function and stress increased in both groups, but the increase in the observation group
were significantly lower than those in control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions Left hepatic vein occlusion
through Arantius ligament in laparoscopic left liver resection can reduce the amount of bleeding during
operation and postoperative complications, and protect liver function. It also has a quick recovery, small
trauma and other advantages. It is worthy to be popularized.
