As such, major hepatectomy requires a careful approach. We describe the usefulness of the Glissonean approach in two patients with vessel anomalies, such as RUP. The first patient underwent a right anterior sectionectomy for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. We encircled several Glissonean pedicles that entered the right anterior section along the right side of the RUP. We temporarily clamped each pedicle, confirmed the demarcation area, and finally cut them. The operation was performed safely and was successful. The second patient underwent a left trisectionectomy for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. We secured the right posterior Glissonean pedicle. The vessels in the pedicle were preserved, and the other vessels and contents were resected. Identifying the vessels for preservation facilitated the safe lymphadenectomy and dissection of the vessels to be resected. We successfully performed the operation.展开更多

In such patients we developed a parenchymasparing one-step approach, that includes extrahepatic right portal vein ligation accompanied by en bloc resection only of segments 7, 8 and 4a and resection of the right and middle hepatic veins. The technique was applied in 3 patients with normal liver function, where according to the preoperative computed tomography the volume of segments 1, 2 and 3 ranged between 17% and 20% of the total liver volume. In all patients liver biochemistry improved rapidly postoperatively and a doubling of volume of segments 1, 2 and 3 was achieved by the third postoperative week, as extrahepatic right portal vein ligation ameliorated reperfusion injury of the remaining segments 5 and 6 and induced hypertrophy of segments 1, 2, 3 and 4b. There was no mortality or long-term complications.Patients are alive and free of disease 74, 50 and 17 months after the operation, respectively. We propose that the term ＂extended upper right sectionectomy＂ may be considered for the en bloc resection of segments 7, 8 and 4a, in future revisions ofthe Brisbane 2000 terminology of hepatic anatomy and resections.展开更多
