Abstract

Studies regarding the influence of diabetes on perioperative outcomes after major hepatectomy are conflicting. The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of diabetes on patients undergoing robotic major hepatectomy. With Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, 94 patients undergoing major hepatectomy were prospectively followed. Demographic data and postoperative outcomes were analyzed and compared between diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Data were presented as median (mean ± SD). Patients were of age 62 (61 ± 13.0) years, BMI of 29 (29 ± 5.9) kg/m2, and ASA class of 3 (3 ± 0.55). The mass size was 5 (5 ± 3.0) cm. Operative duration was 252 (277 ± 106.6) min with estimated blood loss (EBL) was 175 (249 ± 275.9) mL. One operation was converted to 'open' due to bleeding, accounting for one intraoperative complication. Postoperatively, nine patients required ICU admission, with a duration of 1 (4 ± 5.9) day. Seven patients had postoperative complications. Length of stay (LOS) was 4 (4 ± 2.6) days. Fourteen patients were readmitted within 30 days. There were no deaths in-hospital or within 30 days. Of the 94 patients, 22 were diabetic and 72 were nondiabetic. Diabetic patients were older (70 (69 ± 11.3) years versus 58 (58 ± 12.4) years (p = 0.004)). Intraoperatively, operative duration, EBL, and complications were not significantly different. Postoperatively, LOS, ICU admission, ICU duration, complications, in-hospital mortality, readmission in 30 days, and death after 30 days showed no significant difference between diabetics and nondiabetics. In our experience, diabetes has no significant effect on perioperative outcomes after a robotic major hepatectomy.
