Abstract:
OBJECTIVESTo evaluate the surgical techniques and feasibility for resecting the hepatic caudate lobe including the paracaval portion.
METHODSRight posterior approach for right caudate lobectomy and left lateral approach for total caudate lobectomy were taken with or without some kinds of preparatory segmentectomies.
RESULTSSeven right and 6 total caudate lobectomies, all including paracaval portion, ware accomplished without operative death. The mean intraoperative blood loss was 896.15 (250 - 2 000) ml and the mean portal triad clamping time was 25.4 (10 - 83) min. The postoperative course was uneventful for all the cases, and the mean hospital stay was 12 (9 - 22) days.
CONCLUSIONSAlthough being complicated anatomically, resection of the hepatic caudate lobe including the paracaval portion is feasible with a high safety.
