Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to explore the clinical application of imaging three-dimensional visualization technique (3DVT) in guidance of hepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods 63 patients with HCC were encountered in our hospital between January 2021 and December 2022, and were randomly divided into control (n=31) and observation group (n=32). All patients in the two groups underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) and the difference was in the control, the operation was carried out based on routine CT or MR imaging, while in the observation group, the LH was finished based on the 3DVT reconstruction. Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), cortisol (Cor) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were detected by ELISA. Results The operation time, hepatic inflow occlusion time, intraoperative blood loss and hospital stay in the observation group were(190.6±44.1)min, (13.8±3.3)min, (310.5±87.2)mL and (10.8±2.9)d, all significantly shorter or less than [(228.3±56.9)min, (16.6±4.1)min,(399.2±96.92)mL and (13.3±3.5)d, respectively, P<0.05] in the control; at the end of 7 days after operation, serum bilirubin, albumin levels and INR in the observation were (20.3±2.6)μmol/L, (38.2±3.9)g/L and (0.9±0.1), all not significantly different as compared to [(18.8±3.2)μmol/L, (37.6±4.4)g/L and (0.9±0.2)] in the control (P>0.05); serum IL-6, Cor and CRP levels were (106.8±19.2)pg/ml, (260.1±35.4)mmol/L and (28.6±4.8)mg/L, all much lower than [(118.6±24.5)pg/ml, (291.6±40.7)mmol/L and (40.5±5.7)mg/L, respectively, P<0.05] in the control; 3 months after surgery, the incidence of complications, such as infection, bile leakage and liver failure in the observation was 6.2%, much lower than 29.1%(P<0.05) in the control group. Conclusion The advantage of LH under the guidance of 3DVT is terrific in patients with HCC, which could shorten operation time and hepatic inflow occlusion time, and is worthy of further clinical investigation.
