Unravelling the Complexity Myth for Minimally Invasive Right Hepatectomy: Liver Parenchymal Features and their Correlation to Objective Outcomes in Major Anatomical Resections
Abstract:Background
Minimally invasive approaches to major liver resection have been limited by presumed difficulty of the operation. While some concerns arise from mastering the techniques, factors such as tumor size and liver parenchymal features have anecdotally been described as surrogates for operative difficulty. These factors have not been systematically studied for minimally invasive right hepatectomy (MIRH).
Methods
Seventy‐five patients who underwent MIRH during 2007–2016 by the senior author were evaluated; … Show more
