It was reported via journal article; title: laparoscopic anterior hepatic transection for resecting lesions originating in the paracaval portion of the caudate lobe (with videos).Authors: tian-ge sun, xiao-jun wang, li cao, jian-wei li, jian chen, xue-song li, ke-xi liao, yong cao, shu-guo zheng.Citation: surgical endoscopy (2021) 35:5352¿5358, https://doi.Org/10.1007/s00464-021-08455-5 this study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic anterior hepatic transection for resecting paracaval-originating lesions.Between august 2017 and april 2020, 15 patients who underwent laparoscopic anterior hepatic transection for paracaval-originating lesion resection were included in the study.The patients included 8 males and 7 females with a median age of 51 years (range, 21¿62 years).During the anterior hepatic parenchyma transection, an ultrasonic scalpel (ethicon endo-surgery) was used to transect the liver parenchyma cranially along the hepatic midplane, exposing the left or right wall of the middle hepatic vein, showing that the lesion adhered closely to the middle hepatic vein.The small branches of the hepatic veins and pedicles encountered were clipped and divided with vascular clips using a continuous titanium clips (ethicon-endosurgery) or 4 other competitors vascular clips.If the thick veins of segments v and viii were encountered, they could be divided with an endoscopic linear cutter using (echelon flex 60, ethicon endo-surgery, usa).During the lesion resection, once the lesion was removed, the raw surface was treated with an unknown manufacturer bipolar coagulation to achieve hemostasis and repeatedly washed until no bleeding or bile leakage was confirmed.Actively bleeding vessels were sutured with 5¿0 prolene (ethicon) the reported complications included the following: patient 1, a 33-year-old female had an unspecified complication (clavien dindo grade i) without the need for pharmacological treatment or surgical, endoscopic and radiological interventions.Patient 2, a 54-year-old female had an unspecified complication (clavien dindo grade i) without the need for pharmacological treatment or surgical, endoscopic and radiological interventions.Patient 3, a 25-year-old male had an unspecified complication (clavien dindo grade iii) requiring surgical, endoscopic or radiological intervention.Patient also had an introperative blood loss of 3600 ml.Patient 4, a 21-year-old male had an unspecified complication (clavien dindo grade i) without the need for pharmacological treatment or surgical, endoscopic and radiological interventions.Patient 5, a 51-year-old female had an unspecified complication (clavien dindo grade i) without the need for pharmacological treatment or surgical, endoscopic and radiological interventions.Patient 6, a 62-year-old male had an unspecified complication (clavien dindo grade iii) requiring surgical, endoscopic or radiological intervention.Patient 7, a 46-year-old female had an unspecified complication (clavien dindo grade iii) requiring surgical, endoscopic or radiological intervention.Patient 9, a 21-year-old male had an unspecified complication (clavien dindo grade iii) requiring surgical, endoscopic or radiological intervention.Patient 10, a 53-year-old male had an unspecified complication (clavien dindo grade iii) requiring surgical, endoscopic or radiological intervention.Patient 11, a 56-year-old male had an unspecified life-threatening complication (clavien dindo grade iv) requiring intermediate care or intensive care unit management.Patient 12, a 62-year-old female had an unspecified complication (clavien dindo grade i) without the need for pharmacological treatment or surgical, endoscopic and radiological interventions.Patient 13, a 42-year-old female had an unspecified complication (clavien dindo grade i) without the need for pharmacological treatment or surgical, endoscopic and radiological interventions.Patient 14, a 51-year-old female had an unspecified complication (clavien dindo grade i) without the need for pharmacological treatment or surgical, endoscopic and radiological interventions.In conclusion, although technically challenging, laparoscopic anterior hepatic transection is still a safe and feasible procedure for resecting paracaval-originating lesions in select patients.
