Massive intraoperative blood loss is a major cause of complications following hepatectomy. To evaluate the efficacy of intraportal prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) for preventing liver deterioration in hepatectomy patients with an intraoperative blood loss of over 2000 ml, a retrospective analysis was conducted on 10 patients given intraportal PGE1 (portal group), 6 given intravenous PGE1 (venous group), and 10 given no treatment (control group). PGE1 was infused at 250 or 500 micrograms/day in the portal group and at 720 micrograms/day in the venous group, and continued for 3 days postoperatively. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and total bilirubin (T.Bil) were measured on postoperative days (PODs) 1, 3, 5, and 7. ALT was lower in the portal group than in the other two groups on each POD, and significantly lower than in the control group on POD3 (P < 0.05). T.Bil was significantly lower in the portal group than in the control group on PODs 5 and 7 (P < 0.05). T.Bil on POD 7 was under 1.5 mg/dl in 1 (10.0%), 6 (60.0%), and 2 (33.3%) of the control, portal, and venous group patients, respectively, with a significant difference between the control and portal groups (P < 0.05). These results confirmed that intraportal PGE1 was beneficial for improving hepatic function and preventing cholestasis in patients with a blood loss of over 2000 ml at risk of developing postoperative liver deterioration.
