Importance of Laennec approach based on Laennec capsule in anatomical liver resection / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

In recent years, the existence of the Laennec′s capsule has been histologically confirmed and contributes to the Laennec′s approach based on Laennec′s capsule for anatomic hepatectomy. With the deep understanding of liver surgery, the importance of Laennec′s approach based on Laennec′s capsule could be recognized. Better use of Laennec′s capsule would be beneficial to the standardization of surgical technique, facilitate safe and precise anatomical liver resection.The application of Laennec′s capsule in hepatic inflow occlusion and intrahepatic segmentation was summarized in this study. The natural gap between Laennec′s capsule, the liver pedicle and hepatic veins can reduce the destruction of liver parenchyma and intraoperative hemorrhage, simplify surgical steps, shorten the time of Hilar occlusion and surgery.
