Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Extended left hepatectomy including the middle hepatic vein (MHV) may potentially induce right paramedian sector congestion of the remnant liver. METHODS: To prevent venous congestion in the right paramedian sector, we performed extended left hepatectomy including the left hemiliver and anterior segment, which drain into the MHV and left hepatic vein (LHV), for 15 patients. RESULTS: In 11 of 15 patients (73%), temporary clamping of the common trunk of the MHV and LHV and the proper hepatic artery provided the anterior fissure. Regeneration rate of the middle segment was similar to that of the right lateral sector (10.8% vs 11.2%) on postoperative computed tomography (CT) after 3 months. CONCLUSIONS: This procedure could represent a useful method for preventing postoperative venous congestion.
