Abstract

A new technique of hepatic trisegmentectomy, extended right lobectomy, using the Lin liver clamp was successfully performed upon five patients. Proper use of the liver clamp in hepatic trisegmentectomy seems to diminish surgical hemorrhage and to be useful in performing safe dissection of the parenchyma of the liver. Although this method is not always applicable, it is useful in selected patients.

Laparoscopy-assisted right hepatic lobectomy using a wall-lifting procedure.

This article describes a new technique for performing a laparoscopy-assisted right hepatic lobectomy using a hanger wall-lifting procedure. The patient is placed in the left semi-lateral position. A cholecystectomy and hemi-hepatic vascular inflow control are then performed through a midline incision, through which the resected liver can be removed. Next, the right lower chest and right upper abdominal wall are lifted by two wires vertical to the abdominal wall. Two ports, a 5-mm port in right lateral abdomen for forceps and a 12-mm port just right of the umbilicus for the laparoscope, are inserted. The obtained view of the operative field in the right upper abdominal cavity is thus excellent. The laparoscopy-assisted mobilization of the right hepatic lobe is done with the assistance of a hand inserted through the midline incision, including a dissection of the hepato-renal ligament, the right triangular ligament, and the right coronary ligament. A parenchymal dissection is then performed using the Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator (CUSA) and the resected specimen is passed through the midline incision without any morcellation of the liver. This procedure can minimize the length of the wound, while avoiding the lethal complications associated with pneumoperitoneum.

Live donor liver transplantation.

With ever-increasing demand for liver replacement, supply of organs is the limiting factor and a significant number of patients die while waiting. Live donor liver transplantation has emerged as an important option for many patients, particularly small pediatric patients and those adults that are disadvantaged by the current deceased donor allocation system. Ideally there would be no need to subject perfectly healthy people in the prime of their lives to a potentially life-threatening operation to procure transplantable organs. Donor safety is imperative and cannot be compromised regardless of the implication for the intended recipient. The evolution of split liver transplantation is the basis upon which live donor transplantation has become possible. The live donor procedures are considerably more complex than whole organ decreased donor transplantation and there are unique considerations involved in the assessment of any specific recipient and donor. Donor selection and evaluation have become highly specialized. The critical issue of size matching is determined by both the actual size of the donor graft and the recipient as well as the degree of recipient portal hypertension. The outcomes after live donor liver transplantation have been at least comparable to those of deceased donor transplantation. Nevertheless, all efforts should be made to improve deceased donor donation so as to minimize the need for live donors. Transplant physicians, particularly surgeons, must take responsibility for regulating and overseeing these procedures.
