Open Versus Laparoscopic Left-sided Hepatectomy Trial

Overview

Open versus Laparoscopic Left-sided Hepatectomy (OLLEH) trial Multi-institutional, prospective and randomized trial in patients undergoing left sided hepatectomy through laparoscopic versus open procedure. Primary endpoint: Functional recovery Secondary endpoint: Hospital duration, estimated blood loss, operation time, resection margin status, postoperative complication, mortality, liver function laboratory test, re-admission, quality of life, cosmesis, cost effectiveness

Many studies have reported that laparoscopic left-sided hepatectomy is safe and effective compared with open conventional left-sided hemihepatectomy. However, prospective study is rare and there is no randomized controlled trial. The surgeons who are affiliated at a medical center in capital area of Korea launched the Open versus Laparoscopic Left-sided Hepatectomy (OLLEH) trial to verify the surgical outcome of laparoscopic left-sided hepatectomy. Laparoscopic surgery has benefits that less wound and less pain. The hypothesis of the study is 'The laparoscopic left-sided hemihepatectomy is better than open surgery from functional recovery.
