Abstract EN
Background.
Recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver transplantation (LT) indicates a poor prognosis.
Surgery is considered the only curative option for selected patients with HCC recurrence following LT.
Traditionally, the preference is given to the open approach.
Methods.
In this report, we present two cases of laparoscopic resections (LR) for recurrent HCC after LT, performed at Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet.
Results.
Both procedures were executed without intraoperative and postoperative adverse events.
Whereas one of the patients had a recurrence one year after LR, the other patient did not have any sign of disease during 3-year follow-up.
Conclusions.
We argue that, in selected cases, patients with HCC recurrence following LT may benefit from LR due to its limited tissue trauma and timely start of subsequent treatment if curative resection cannot be obtained.
In patients with relatively favorable prognosis, LR facilitates postoperative recovery course and avoids unnecessary laparotomy.
