Laparoscopic anatomical resection of segment II: left lateral section-flip up method to safely and effectively encircle the Glissonean branch and expose the left hepatic vein (with video).
Updates in Surgery 2023 September 14
Laparoscopic anatomical resection of liver segment II (S2 segmentectomy) using left lateral section-flip up method is introduced to safely and effectively encircle the Glissonean branch of segment II (G2) and to expose the left hepatic vein (LHV). The left lateral section is completely mobilized and then flipped up. After encircling and clamping the G2 root, indocyanine green is intravenously injected and the demarcation line is clearly confirmed by near infrared fluorescence imaging. After exposure of the LHV from the root to this intersegmental plane between segments II/III, residual parenchymal resection is performed using the clamp crushing method. There are two difficulties concerning S2 segmentectomy. The first is encirclement of the G2 root without interfering with the G3. Compared with the conventional front view of the umbilical portion, the view behind the left lateral section contribute to easy confirmation and direct encircle of the G2 root without dividing the G3 and injuring LHV on the same plane. The second difficulty is that the boundary of the visible liver surface between segments II/III does not match the direction of the LHV. This can cause confusion to the operator aiming to perform precise inner parenchymal resection. Our procedure allows easy access to the LHV root and exposure of the peripheral directing hepatic vein. Hepatic vein-guided approaches will likely be helpful in precise performance of inner parts of liver resection.
