Abstract
Purpose
Postoperative bile leakage is one of the most common complications after hepatic surgery. The relationship between the inflammatory response and postoperative bile leakage has not been fully investigated. Therefore, we retrospectively investigated the relation between postoperative peripheral blood monocyte count and bile leakage in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) after elective hepatic resection.
Methods
The study comprised 105 patients who had undergone hepatic resection for CRLM between January 2000 and March 2012. Perioperative risk factors pertinent to development of bile leakage were investigated using univariate and multivariate analyses.
Results
Bile leakage developed in 9 (8.6 %) of 105 patients. In multivariate analysis, intraoperative fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusion (p = 0.009) and lower monocyte count of the peripheral blood on postoperative day 1 (p = 0.038) were found as independent risk factors of bile leakage.
Conclusions
Postoperative lower monocyte count and intraoperative FFP transfusion were associated with the development of postoperative bile leakage after elective hepatic resection in patients with CRLM.
