[Technique of Mesohepatectomy].
Zentralblatt Für Chirurgie 2016 August
In patients with primary or secondary malignant central liver tumours, the standard surgical procedure is extended left or right hemihepatectomy. Since extended resections are associated with increased morbidity and mortality and a loss of a large amount of functional liver parenchyma, central liver resection or mesohepatectomy (resection of segments 4a/4b, 5 and 8) with or without the resection of segment 1 is an alternative procedure, although technically demanding and not widely used so far. Resection margins are to the right of the falciform ligament and at the border between segments 5/6 and 7/8, which can be difficult to differentiate. Intraoperative sonography is highly recommended. The current video shows the technique of mesohepatectomy under exclusion of segment 1 in a case of a central colorectal liver metastasis.
