Laparoscopic Extended Segmentectomy VII Guided by the Right Hepatic Vein: Precise Surgical Planning with a Three-Dimensional Liver Model
摘要
Laparoscopic extended segmentectomy VII is a technically challenging procedure owing to a lack of clear anatomical landmarks and difficulty in determining the cutting plane (Wang in J Am Coll Surg 238:321-330, 2024; Liu in Surg Oncol 38:101575, 2021). On the basis of precise surgical planning, we present a laparoscopic extended segmentectomy VII guided by the right hepatic vein.
Patient and MethodsA 65 year-old male patient presented with a right hepatic mass. The three-dimensional liver model showed that the tumor was mainly located in segment 7, invading part of segment 8 (Fig.
The operative time was 260 min, with an intraoperative blood loss of 50 ml. The pathology confirmed moderately differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma with a negative surgical margin. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 9 without any complications.
ConclusionsOn the basis of precise surgical planning with a three-dimensional liver model, the laparoscopic extended segmentectomy VII guided by the RHV is feasible and effective.
