World J Gastrointest Surg 2024; 16:409-418. [PMID: 38463374 PMCID: PMC10921191 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v16.i2.409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Advancements in laparoscopic technology and a deeper understanding of intrahepatic anatomy have led to the establishment of more precise laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) techniques. The indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence navigation technique has emerged as the most effective method for identifying hepatic regions, potentially overcoming the limitations of LH. While laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy (LLH) is a standardized procedure, there is a need for innovative strategies to enhance its outcomes. AIM To investigate a standardized cranial-dorsal strategy for LLH, focusing on important anatomical markers, surgical skills, and ICG staining methods. METHODS Thirty-seven patients who underwent ICG fluorescence-guided LLH at Qujing Second People's Hospital between January 2019 and February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The cranial-dorsal approach was performed which involves dissecting the left hepatic vein cephalad, isolating the Arantius ligament , exposing the middle hepatic vein, and dissecting the parenchyma from the dorsal to the foot in order to complete the anatomical LLH. The surgical methods, as well as intra- and post-surgical data, were recorded and analyzed. Our hospital's Medical Ethics Committee approved this study (Ethical review: 2022-019-01). RESULTS Intraoperative blood loss during LLH was 335.68 ± 99.869 mL and the rates of transfusion and conversion to laparotomy were 13.5% and 0%, respectively. The overall incidence of complications throughout the follow-up (median of 18 months; range 1-36 months) was 21.6%. No mortality or severe complications (level IV) were reported. CONCLUSION LLH has the potential to become a novel, standardized approach that can effectively, safely, and simply expose the middle hepatic vein and meet the requirements of precision surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Effective inflow and outflow control of the liver is essential for a safe hepatectomy. Detachment of the hilar plate is a fundamental technique in the Glissonean approach. The hilar plate is situated near the middle hepatic vein, which runs in the midplane of the liver, and serves as a landmark during hemihepatectomy. In this study, we describe the technical details and surgical outcomes of laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy using the hilar plate-first approach. METHODS The key procedures of the hilar plate-first approach included the following: (1) detachment of the hilar plate for the left Glissonean approach, (2) the middle hepatic vein approach from the hilar plate, (3) parenchymal transection along the ischemic line and middle hepatic vein, and (4) transection of the left Glissonean pedicle at the ventral aspect of the Arantius ligament. RESULTS Between September 2020 and September 2021, 12 patients underwent laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy using the hilar plate-first approach. The median operation time was 227 min (range 140-350 min), and the median estimated blood loss was 82.5 ml (range 50-150 ml). The median length of postoperative hospital stay was 7 days (range 5-10 days). No major complications, including biliary complications, were observed. CONCLUSION The hilar plate-first approach contributes to the standardization of surgical techniques for laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy. This technique is a safe and effective approach for the inflow and outflow systems of the left hemiliver.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The concept of minimally invasive anatomic liver resection (MIALR) is gaining popularity. However, specific technical skills need to be acquired to safely perform MIALR. The "Expert Consensus Meeting: Precision Anatomy for Minimally Invasive HBP Surgery (PAM-HBP Surgery Consensus)" was developed as a special program during the 32nd meeting of the Japanese Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery (JSHBPS). METHODS Thirty-four international experts gathered online for the consensus. A Research Committee performed a comprehensive literature review, classifying studies according to the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network method. Based on the literature review and experts' opinions, tentative recommendations were drafted and circulated among experts using online Delphi Rounds. Finally, formulated recommendations were presented online in the Expert Consensus Meeting of the JSHBPS on February 23rd, 2021. The final recommendations were validated and finalized by the 2nd Delphi Round in May 2021. RESULTS Seven clinical questions were selected, and 22 recommendations were formulated. All recommendations reached more than 85% consensus among experts at the final Delphi Round. CONCLUSIONS The Expert Consensus Meeting for safely performing MIALR has presented a set of clinical guidelines based on available literature and experts' opinions. We expect these guidelines to have a favorable effect on the safe implementation and development of MIALR.

Abstract
Background Laparoscopic anatomic hepatectomy (LAH) has gradually become a routine surgical procedure. However, how to expose the whole hepatic vein and avoid the hepatic vein laceration is still a challenge because of the caudate lobe, particularly in right hepatectomy. We adopted a dorsal approach combined with Glissionian appraoch to perform laparoscopic right anatomic hepatectomy (LRAH). Methods Twenty patients who underwent LRAH from January 2017 to November 2018 were retrospectively analysed. Of these patients, seven patients underwent laparoscopic right hemihepatectomy (LRH group), seven patients who underwent laparoscopic right posterior hepatectomy (LRPH group), and six patients who underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy for segment 7 (LS7 group). The paracaval portion of caudate lobe could be transected firstly through dorsal approach and the corresponding major hepatic vein could be exposed from its root to the peripheral branches safely. Due to exposure along the major hepatic vein trunk, the remaining liver parenchyma could be quickly transected from dorsal to cranial side. Results The mean age of the patients was 53.8 years and the male: female ratio was 8:12. The median operation time was 306.0 ± 58.2 min and the mean estimated volume of blood loss was 412.5 ± 255.4 mL. The mean duration of postoperative hospital stay was 10.2 days. The mean Pringle maneuver time was 64.8 ± 27.7 min. Five patients received transfusion of 2–4 U of red blood cells. Two patients suffered from transient hepatic dysfunction and one suffered from pleural effusion. None of the patients underwent conversion to an open procedure. The operative duration, volume of the blood loss, Pringle maneuver time, and postoperative hospital stay duration did not differ significantly among the LRH, LRPH, and LS7 groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions Dorsal approach combined with Glissonian approach for right lobe is feasible and effective in laparoscopic right anatomic liver resections.

Xiao L, Li JW, Zheng SG. Cranial-Dorsal Approach Along the Middle Hepatic Vein Facilitating Laparoscopic Left Hemihepatectomy. J Gastrointest Surg 2021; 25:868-869. [PMID: 33111263 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-020-04830-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2020] [Accepted: 10/17/2020] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
The exposure and protection of middle hepatic vein (MHV) is crucial and difficult for anatomic laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy in the treatment of left hepatic tumor. 1, 2 The traditional caudal approach, which the liver is transected from the branch to the main trunk of MHV, is prone to damage the vessels. 3, 4 The ventral approach is easy to expose the main trunk of MHV; however, the risk of vascular laceration caused by the caudal approach cannot be completely avoided, since the direction of endoscopic view and liver dissection are from the foot to the head side. We herein present a cranial-dorsal approach along the middle hepatic vein during laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy.The key point of the cranial-dorsal approach was the hepatic parenchyma transection from the root of MHV toward its distal branches. Briefly, left hepatic blood inflow was blocked, followed by the dissociation and transection from the left hepatic duct and vein. Along the direction of the main trunk of the MHV, the liver resection plane could be clearly exposed from the cranial and dorsal sides, and then the branches of the MHV were managed separately. Owing to the full exposure along the MHV trunk, the remaining liver parenchyma could be quickly transected to complete the anatomic left hepatectomy finally. This technique was performed in 10 patients who underwent laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy from March 2017 to December 2019. The median operative time was 188 min (range 150-265 min), and the intraoperative blood loss was 191 mL (range 100-300 mL). The median postoperative hospital stay was 6 days (range 4-8 days). No major postoperative complications or mortality was reported (Table 1). Cranial-dorsal approach along the MHV may be a feasible and effective technique during laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy, contributing to the process of anatomic left liver resection by full exposure and protection of hepatic veins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic hepatectomy for tumors close to the major hepatic veins (HVs) is a technically demanding procedure that is relatively contraindicated. We investigated this surgical technique and the outcomes of intraparenchymal identification of the major HVs using the ventral approach in pure laparoscopic hepatectomy for tumors close to the major HVs. METHODS In the present study, tumors < 10 mm from the major HVs were defined as lesions in proximity to the major HVs. The cranio-ventral part of the liver parenchyma along the targeted major hepatic veins was opened to facilitate an open cutting plane. After a wide exposure of the surgical plane, the targeted major HVs were identified. RESULTS Thirteen patients with tumors close to the major HVs underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy. The median operative time was 260 min (range, 160-410 min), while the intraoperative blood loss was 100 mL (range, 30-310 mL). The median Pringle maneuver time was 45 min (range, 40-75 min). The median tumor size was 50 mm (range, 17-140 mm), and the median tumor margin was 4 mm (range, 0-10 mm). Three patients (23.1%) experienced minor postoperative complications. The median postoperative hospital stay was 7 days (range, 4-25 days). CONCLUSIONS Pure laparoscopic hepatectomy for tumors close to the major HVs is technically feasible in selected patients. Intraparenchymal identification of the major HVs using the ventral approach achieves transection plane accuracy and avoids inadvertent injury to the major HVs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This retrospective 10-year case study evaluated the perioperative results and long-term efficacy of laparoscopic middle-hepatic-vein-guided hemihepatectomy (L-MHV-H) and traditional anatomical hemihepatectomy (TAH) in the treatment of hepatolithiasis (HL). METHODS From January 2010 to December 2019, 99 patients with regional HL underwent laparoscopic anatomical hemihepatectomy (LAH) at our centre, including 43 patients in the L-MHV-H group and 56 patients in the TAH group. RESULTS All patients in both groups were Child-Pugh grade A before operation. No significant between-group differences in general information, stone distribution, comorbidities, history of previous abdominal surgery or co-occurrence of gallstones and common bile duct stones were observed. The L-MHV-H group exhibited a higher intraoperative stone clearance rate (95.3% vs. 75.0%, p = 0.014) and a lower postoperative complication rate (10.1% vs. 48.2%, p = 0.005) compared with the TAH group. In the median follow-up time of 60 months (range 6-125 months), the L-MHV-H group had lower stone recurrence (2.3% vs. 19.6%, p = 0.013) and cholangitis recurrence (2.3% vs. 17.9%, p = 0.034) rates. No significant between-group differences in the other results were observed. CONCLUSIONS L-MHV-H is safe and feasible for HL with certain advantages over TAH in improving the intraoperative stone clearance rate, reducing postoperative complication incidence and reducing stone and cholangitis recurrence rates.

A new strategy of laparoscopic anatomical hemihepatectomy guided by the middle hepatic vein combined with transhepatic duct lithotomy for complex hemihepatolithiasis: A propensity score matching study. Surgery 2021; 170:18-29. [PMID: 33589245 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2020.12.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2020] [Revised: 12/28/2020] [Accepted: 12/31/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been no studies on laparoscopic anatomical hemihepatectomy guided by the middle hepatic vein combined with transhepatic duct lithotripsy for the treatment of complex hemihepatolithiasis. This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic anatomical hemihepatectomy guided by the middle hepatic vein combined with transhepatic duct lithotomy to treat complex hemihepatolithiasis. METHODS The clinical data for patients who underwent laparoscopic anatomical hemihepatectomy for complex intrahepatic bile duct stones with or without common bile duct stones from January 2016 to June 2020 were prospectively collected. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to surgical approach: laparoscopic anatomical hemihepatectomy guided by the middle hepatic vein (middle hepatic vein group) or laparoscopic anatomical hemihepatectomy not guided by the middle hepatic vein (nonmiddle hepatic vein group). The safety and short-term and long-term efficacy outcomes of the 2 groups were compared with 1:1 propensity score matching. RESULTS With only a slightly longer operative time (P = .006), the initial and final stone residual rates in the middle hepatic vein group (n = 70) were significantly lower than those in the nonmiddle hepatic vein group (n = 70) (P = .002, P = .009). The bile leakage rate and stone recurrence rate were also significantly lower (P = .001, P = .001). CONCLUSION Laparoscopic anatomical hemihepatectomy guided by the middle hepatic vein is safe and effective for treating intrahepatic bile duct stones and can decrease the stone residual rate, reduce the bile leakage rate and stone recurrence rate, and accelerate early recovery. However, owing to the complicated technical requirements for surgeons and anesthesiologists, use of the procedure is limited to large and experienced medical centers.

Landmarks and techniques to perform minimally invasive liver surgery: A systematic review with a focus on hepatic outflow. JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SCIENCES 2021; 29:66-81. [PMID: 33475254 DOI: 10.1002/jhbp.898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2020] [Revised: 12/23/2020] [Accepted: 01/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE In this systematic review, we aimed to clarify the useful anatomic structures and assess available surgical techniques and strategies required to safely perform minimally invasive anatomic liver resection (MIALR), with a particular focus on the hepatic veins (HVs). METHODS A systematic review was conducted using MEDLINE/PubMed for English articles and Ichushi databases for Japanese articles through September 2020. The quality assessment of the articles was performed in accordance with the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN). RESULTS A total of 3372 studies were obtained, and 59 were selected and reviewed. Due to the limited number of published comparative studies and case series, the degree of evidence from our review was low. Thirty-two articles examined the anatomic landmarks and crucial structures for approaching HVs. Regarding the direction of HV exposure, 32 articles focused on the techniques and advantages of exposing HVs from either the root or the periphery. Ten articles focused on the techniques to perform a segmentectomy 8 in particularly difficult cases of MIALR. In seven articles, bleeding control from HVs was also discussed. CONCLUSIONS This review may help experts reach a consensus regarding the best approach to the management of hepatic veins during MIALR.

Abstract
Background This study is aimed at investigating the feasibility and safety of the laparoscopic radical resection for treating type III and IV hilar cholangiocarcinoma (III/IV Hilar C). Methods Six patients with III/IV Hilar C were enrolled in our hospital. All patients underwent total laparoscopic surgery, including basic surgery (laparoscopic gallbladder, hilar bile duct, and common bile duct resection and hepatoduodenal ligament lymph node dissection) combined with left hepatic and caudate lobe resection/portal resection. The tumor size, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative complications were observed. The follow-up of the patients after discharge was recorded. Results Surgery was successfully completed in 6 patients. We found that the tumor size of 6 patients ranged from 1.5 to 3.6 cm, with 4 lymph nodes. The operation time was 540-660 minutes, and the blood loss was 300-500 ml. One patient developed bile leakage after surgery, healed within 2 weeks after drainage. The postoperative hospital stay was 16 (13-24) days. There were 4 cases of negative bile duct margin tumor, 1 case was positive, and 1 case was not reported. All 6 patients were discharged smoothly without perioperative death. Regular examinations were conducted every 3 months after discharge, and the median duration was 7 months. Only 1 patient had a marginal dysplasia, and 5 patients had no obvious signs of recurrence. Conclusions Application of laparoscopic radical resection for III/IV Hilar C is safe and feasible and has good short-term efficacy with adequate preoperative evaluation, appropriate case selection, and precise operative strategy.
