PURPOSE: To compare changes in liver enzyme levels on postoperative day 1 between patients with and without silicone disc (SD) use during liver retraction in laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer and laparoscopic gastric mobilization for esophageal cancer.

METHODS: This prospective randomized controlled phase II trial was conducted between June 30, 2020, and November 30, 2022, to investigate the benefits of using an SD with a Nathanson liver retractor (NLR) compared with those using an NLR in laparoscopic gastrectomy and gastric mobilization. The primary endpoint was the change in transaminase level on postoperative day 1.

RESULTS: A total of 86 patients received randomized assignments and were included in the analysis, with 44 assigned to the SD (-) group and 42 to the SD (+) group. On postoperative day 1, the SD (+) group showed a significantly lower increase in the aspartate aminotransferase levels than the SD (-) group (SD [+], 94.4% vs. SD [-], 179.8%; p = 0.012). Similarly, the SD (+) group showed a significantly lower increase in alanine aminotransferase levels than the SD (-) group (SD [+], 71.6% vs. SD [-], 201.5%; p = 0.014).

CONCLUSION: In laparoscopic gastrectomy, the use of an SD combined with an NLR appears to mitigate postoperative liver dysfunction.
