Anatomical multiple hepatic segmentectomy by selective occlusion of hepatic inflow for the treatment of primary hepatic cancer / 中华消化外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Anatomic hepatic resection not only enables enough tumor-free resection margin,but also guarantee the maximal remnant of normal liver tissue.A 61-year-old male patient with hepatic cancer was admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical College in February 2012.Multiple space-occupying lesions were found in segment Ⅵ,Ⅶ and Ⅷ by computed tomography (CT).The results of CT volumetry analysis showed that the left hemihepatic volume was lesser than the minimal limit of survival,so anatomic hepatic segmentectomy of Ⅵ,Ⅶ and Ⅷ with preservation of segment Ⅴ was designed to guarantee the maximal remaining of normal liver tissue.Glisson's pedicle transection was used twice to divide the right hemihepatic Glisson's pedicle,segment Ⅵ and Ⅶ Glisson's pedicle,respectivley,then the resection line was determined,and anatomical hepatic segmentectomy of Ⅵ,Ⅶ and Ⅷ was completed.With the procedures adopted,the hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury and hemodynamic instability were maximally reduced during operation.
