This book comprehensibly describes the clinical details of anatomic
hepatic resection using the Glissonean pedicle approach for
hepatocellular carcinoma. It includes all aspects of the surgical
anatomy of the liver, preoperative management of patients, surgical
techniques, and intraoperative key points to prevent postoperative
complications.
The first three chapters provide a general
introduction to the clinical anatomy of the liver, preoperative
management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, basic techniques
for hepatic resection using the Glissonean approach, and the application
of dye staining in anatomic hepatic resection. Subsequent chapters
present the technical details of anatomical segmentectomy (Couinaud’s
classification), sectionectomy and hemi-hepatectomy for hepatocellular
carcinoma using the modified suprahilar Glissonean approach. All of
these hepatectomies can be performed using simple and easily available
surgical instruments. In addition, it discusses precise transection of
the deepest hepatic parenchyma guided by methylene blue staining. It is a
useful and timely reference for hepatobiliary surgeons, clinical staff,
and medical students.
