A new vein-guided technique for laparoscopic right hepatectomy offers better outcomes for selected patients.
- A caudal, vein-guided approach improves anatomic orientation and the transection plane.
- Left semidecubitus positioning enhances exposure, making surgery safer.
Improved techniques focus on minimizing trauma to hepatic structures.
- Post-transection mobilization reduces traction on critical veins, promoting safer resection.
