Hepatic resections for pediatric hepatoblastoma: analysis of 30-day outcomes using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program—Pediatric database
Topic overview
This study analyzes 30-day outcomes for 458 children undergoing hepatic resection for hepatoblastoma using national registry data. Results show excellent safety profiles with low complication rates across all resection types, though trisectionectomy patients required higher transfusion volumes. Extended resections did not demonstrate worse short-term outcomes despite increased complexity.
Key takeaways
- Hepatic resection for hepatoblastoma has excellent 30-day outcomes with low complication rates in pediatric patients.
- Perioperative blood transfusion (64.2%) is common; median transfusion volume is 15.7 ml/kg across all resection types.
- Trisectionectomy carries 3.4× higher odds of requiring larger transfusion volumes (>75th percentile) compared to standard resections.
- Extended hepatic resections do not show worse 30-day outcomes despite increased operative complexity and duration.
- Postoperative ventilation >48 hours occurs in 10% of cases and is more common with extended resections.
