Dorsal Approach to the Middle Hepatic Vein in Laparoscopic Left Hemihepatectomy

Short‐ and long‐term outcomes of middle hepatic vein–oriented hepatectomy for advanced perihilar cholangiocarcinoma

“…In brief, a proper transection plane was obtained by exposing the MHV tributary in the early phase of liver transection and following the venous trunk to the inferior vena cava. Thereafter, Okuda et al introduced the dorsal approach to expose the MHV from the root side toward the periphery, which was technically feasible but confined to laparoscopic resection.…”

“…Thereafter, Okuda et al 24 introduced the dorsal approach to expose the MHV from the root side toward the periphery, which was technically feasible but confined to laparoscopic resection.…”

Intrahepatic Glissonean Pedicle Approach to Segment 7 from the Dorsal Side During Laparoscopic Anatomic Hepatectomy of the Cranial Part of the Right Liver

“…Basically, the surgery proceeded according to our standardized procedures of laparoscopic hepatectomy, as previously described. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Patients were placed in a modified left semi-decubitus position, in which only the upper body was twisted to the left, while the pelvis and legs were held in the supine position (Fig. 1).…”

Useful maneuvers for precise laparoscopic liver resection

“…reported the application of this technique in LLR. The author showed the case series involving laparoscopic hepatectomy . By exposing the major vessels, the authors obtained results that were comparable to open hepatectomy.…”
