Extrahepatic approach for taping the common trunk of the middle and left hepatic veins or the left hepatic vein alone in laparoscopic hepatectomy (with videos). JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SCIENCES 2023; 30:192-201. [PMID: 35767184 DOI: 10.1002/jhbp.1212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Revised: 06/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Outflow control is difficult, and techniques required for effectively handling intraoperative hemorrhage during laparoscopic hepatectomy have not previously been adequately reported. METHODS Sixteen patients underwent surgery, of which 15 underwent laparoscopic left hepatectomy and one underwent laparoscopic partial hepatectomy of the caudate lobe. Encircling and taping of the common trunk of the middle (MHV) and left hepatic veins (LHV) was performed in 12 patients, and that of the LHV alone in four patients. Surgical techniques based on anatomical landmarks and histological findings are presented with videos. Histological confirmation of the anatomical landmarks for these procedures was performed in fresh cadavers to understand the anatomical structures and layers involved. RESULTS The median procedure duration was 15 (6-25) minutes. All procedures were performed safely with no major bleeding. Histological findings showed fibrous connective tissue between the tunica adventitia of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the Laennec's capsule of the liver. The layer of dissection was along the tunica adventitia of the IVC. CONCLUSIONS The surgical techniques for encircling and taping of the common trunk of the MHV and LHV and the LHV alone based on anatomical landmarks were feasible and could allow for efficient outflow control in laparoscopic hepatectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since the first laparoscopic wedge resection reported by Reich, laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) has been progressively developed, acquiring safety and feasibility. The time has witnessed a milestone leap for laparoscopic hepatectomy from pure laparoscopic partial hepatectomy to anatomical hepatectomy and from minor liver resection to major liver resection. The numerous previous studies have paid more attention to the short-time and long-time surgical outcomes caused by surgical techniques corresponding to various segments and approaches. However, focus on trocar layouts remains poorly described, but it plays an indispensable role in surgical process. METHODS We have searched PubMed for English language articles with the key words "trocar," "laparoscopic liver resection," and "liver resection approaches." RESULTS This review highlighted each type of trocar layouts corresponding to specific circumstances, including targeted resection segments with various approaches. Notably, surgeon preferences and patients body habitus affect the trocar layouts to some extent as well. CONCLUSIONS Although there were fewer researches focus on trocar layouts, they determine the operation field and manipulation space and be likely to have an impact on outcomes of surgery. Therefore, further studies are warranted to firm the role of trocar layouts in LLR.

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 Although left hemihepatectomy has been widely performed via the laparoscopic approach, the roles of the assistant surgeon have not been well-documented so far. We herein present our standardized procedures of laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy without Spiegel’s lobe resection, focusing on the crucial roles of the assistant surgeon. Methods During laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy without Spiegel’s lobe resection, countertraction by the assistant surgeon is quite important especially during isolating the left Glissonean pedicle and transecting liver parenchyma. When securing the left hepatic pedicle using the Glissonean approach, the assistant surgeon pushes Segment 4 of the liver cranially and pulls the tape encircling the hepatoduodenal ligament caudally in the opposite way, orthogonal to the direction of the laparoscopic forceps toward the left portal triad. During liver parenchymal transection, the assistant surgeon pulls the hanging tape across the left lobe of the liver in order to provide a wide and stable liver transection plane. With this standardized technique, nine cases of laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy were performed over the last two years in our department, and the perioperative data were retrospectively analyzed. Results The median age of the nine patients was 70 years (range: 58 - 84 years). Most of the patients were males (77.8%). Five of nine patients were diagnosed with colorectal liver metastasis, two with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one with inflammatory pseudotumor, and the other one with hepaticolithiasis. There were no conversions to open surgery. The median operative time and estimated blood loss were 337 minutes (range: 219 - 478 minutes) and 100 ml (range: 41 - 375 ml), respectively. The median length of postoperative hospital stay was nine days (range: 7 - 16 days). Major complications (Clavien-Dindo classification grade III or more) were not encountered in our cohort postoperatively. Conclusion We presented here our standardized assistant roles during laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy without Spiegel’s lobe resection, which was revealed to be safe and feasible in our cohort.

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
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 Anatomical laparoscopic hepatolobectomy (ALH) is a difficult and challenging operation, and avoiding massive hemorrhage during parenchyma transection remains one of its major concern. Glissonean pedicle approach (GPA) has achieved great success in open liver surgery due to its simplicity and reproducibility, but it is difficult to apply in ALH for the limited vision and motion. We thus aimed to introduce a modified method to facilitate the GPA in ALH. Methods In this retrospective study, in 15 patients who underwent ALH (at least 2 couinaud segments), the liver parenchyma was dissected at first (LPDF) adequately under intermittent total inflow control to reveal the Glissonean pedicle (GP) sufficiently for safe and precise transection. The technical details of LPDF for different types of hepatolobectomy and a modified laparoscopic Pringle maneuver are described, and the surgical outcomes are reviewed. Results LPDF was applied in all patients, and intraoperative blood transfusion was not needed. LPDF facilitated GPA in ALH without any severe morbidity or mortality. Conclusions LPDF is a safe and effective technique, it reduces the difficulties in inflow occlusion in GPA and can promote the application of ALH. Further clinical control trails are needed to validate the superiority of LPDF compared with GPA in ALH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy using the Glissonian approach is technically challenging secondary to a thick Glissonian pedicle and limited maneuverability of laparoscopic instruments. This procedure demands extreme caution owing to the high risk of bile leakage associated with left hemihepatectomy. We describe the technical details and surgical outcomes of the intrahepatic Glissonian approach to the ventral aspect of the Arantius ligament in laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy. METHODS After detachment of the left side of hilar plate, the meticulous dissection was performed in the liver capsule above the left Glissonian pedicle. Dissection of the ventral aspect of the Arantius ligament creates the space between the liver parenchyma and the left Glissonian pedicle. The left Glissonian pedicle was isolated and encircled using the long curved laparoscopic instrument. During the parenchymal transection, the left Glissonian pedicle was transected using lateral to the Arantius ligament. RESULTS Between February 2013 and July 2018, 13 consecutive patients underwent pure laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy. The median operation time was 230 min (range 180-300 min), and the median estimated blood loss was 300 mL (range 100-600 mL). Two patients (15%) required transfusion. The median tumor size was 40 mm (range 10-105 mm). All patients showed negative resection margins. The median postoperative hospital stay was 8 days (range 6-15 days). Major postoperative complications occurred in 1 patient (7.7%). No perioperative deaths occurred. CONCLUSION An intrahepatic Glissonian approach to the ventral aspect of the Arantius ligament is a feasible and effective technique in laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy.

Abstract
Anatomical landmarks are commonly utilized in surgical practice to help surgeons to maintain an anatomical orientation. The ligamentum venosum (LV) is an anatomical landmark that is utilized during left hepatectomy via both the open and the laparoscopic approaches. We describe the usefulness of the LV as an anatomical landmark in performing a safe laparoscopic left hepatectomy. The key characteristic of our technique is that the LV is divided at the end of the surgery. Our technique involves identification and dissection of the LV, but we do not divide it during liver mobilization. The LV marks the boundary for safe vascular inflow control of the left hemiliver. Following exposure of the middle hepatic vein, hepatic parenchymal transection is curved toward the LV, which serves as a landmark to guide surgeons to achieve an optimal plane of transection in the late stages. A suitable transection point of the left bile duct is determined based on the location of the LV. Between February 2013 and September 2017, 21 consecutive patients underwent pure laparoscopic left hepatectomy. The median operation time was 240 min (range 180-350 min), and the median intraoperative estimated blood loss was 200 ml (range 80-600 ml). Major postoperative complications occurred in one patient (4.8%). The median postoperative hospital stay was 8 days (range 5-15 days). This systematic approach using the LV as an anatomical landmark may serve as a safe and effective technique to perform a laparoscopic left hepatectomy.

Abstract
The incidence of laparoscopic liver resection (LHx) has been increased in the past decade. There have been some reports about some advantages of LHx, in both short and long-term outcomes after operation. The use of a minor LHx was regarded as a standard surgical practice, and some peri-operative complications hindered worldwide increase of LHx in the Second International Consensus Conference on LHx at Morioka. However, no suggestions were described in terms with how to provide the best teaching and training necessary to shorten the learning curve for inexperienced surgeons using a new surgical technique while continuing to maintain a low rate of morbidity from the very beginning. This study includes a literature review of published research which looked at a learning curve for LHx. As well, it proposes a new step-wise training method for inexperienced surgeons and standardization of a technique for LHx focusing especially on laparoscopic left hepatectomy (LLHx).

Abstract
Laparoscopic liver resection has evolved over the past decade and nearly replaced open exploration. This procedure not only provides comparable oncological outcomes, but it also has improved recovery after surgery. Many of the challenges presented by limitations of instruments and techniques have been overcome through adaptations and new developments, and it is possible that the remaining obstacles will be overcome within a few years. Moreover, as surgeons continue to gain experience, their technical knowledge has supported further improvement in minimally invasive approaches. This review examines every important procedures in performing a precise laparoscopic liver resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy (LLH) may be an alternative to open (OLH). There are several original variations in the technical aspects of LLH, and no accepted standard. The aim of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the technique developed at Henri Mondor Hospital since 1996. METHODS The technique of LLH was conceived for safety and training of two mature generations of lead surgeons. The technique includes full laparoscopy, ventral approach to the common trunk, extrahepatic pedicle dissection, CUSA® parenchymal transection, division of the left hilar plate laterally to the Arantius ligament, and ventral transection of the left hepatic vein. The outcomes of LLH and OLH were compared. Perioperative analysis included intra- and postoperative, and histology variables. Propensity Score Matching was undertaken of background covariates including age, ASA, BMI, fibrosis, steatosis, tumour size, and specimen weight. RESULTS 17 LLH and 51 OLH were performed from 1996 to 2014 with perioperative mortality rates of 0% and 6%, respectively. In the LLH group, two patients underwent conversion to open surgery. Propensity matching selected 10 LLH/OLH pairs. The LLH group had a higher proportion of procedures for benign disease. LLH was associated with longer operating time and less blood loss. Perioperative complications occurred in 30% (LLH) and 10% (OLH) (p = 1). Mortality and ITU stay were similar. CONCLUSION This technique is recommended as a possible technical reference for standard LLH.

Abstract
Laparoscopic liver resection under hemihepatic vascular inflow control has advantages over Pringle's maneuver, especially in patients with cirrhosis. From January 2016 to August 2016, 7 patients who underwent total laparoscopic left hepatectomy under hemihepatic vascular inflow occlusion using the extra-glissonian approach were included in this study. All were hepatitis B carriers and 4 had cirrhosis. The mean operation time was 247 minutes. The mean transection time was 110 minutes. No patient needed additional Pringle's maneuver. The mean intraoperative blood loss was 74 ml and no patient required blood transfusion. No open conversion happened. Postoperatively, no patient developed complications and there was no perioperative mortality. The mean resection margin was 2 cm. The mean hospital stay was 6 days. Upon a mean follow-up of 9 months, no patient developed tumor recurrence. The technique of total laparoscopic left hepatectomy using extra-glissonian approach was safe and feasible. The early surgical outcomes were good.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The liver hanging maneuver is a novel and useful technique that is widely used in open liver resections. The present study describes the surgical technique and outcomes of a modified liver hanging maneuver for pure laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy. METHOD The clinical data of patients who underwent laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy using a modified hanging technique were retrospectively reviewed. The upper end of the hanging tape was placed on the lateral side of the left hepatic vein. The pathway of the tape was situated along the ligamentum venosum. RESULTS Sixteen patients underwent pure laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy with the modified hanging technique. The median operation time was 225 min (range 180-300 min), with a median blood loss of 265 ml (range 140-600 ml). Postoperative major complications occurred in one patient (6.3%). The median postoperative hospital stay was 8 days (range 5-15 days). There was no postoperative liver failure or mortality. CONCLUSION This modified liver hanging maneuver is a simple, safe, and reproducible approach as dissection of between the middle and left hepatic vein is not required. This technique may be useful in laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the clinical application and usefulness of the liver hanging maneuver (LHM), proposed by Belghiti, for major hepatectomy, including its (1) historical development, (2) usefulness and application and (3) advantages and disadvantages, by reviewing the English literature published during the period 2001-2014. RESULTS In major hepatic transection via the anterior approach, the deep area of transection around the vena cava is critical with regard to bleeding during right hemi-hepatectomy. Belghiti and other investigators identified avascular spaces that are devoid of short hepatic veins at the front of the vena cava and behind the liver. Forceps can be inserted into this space easily and then maneuvered to lift the liver using hanging tape. This procedure, termed LHM significantly reduces intraoperative blood loss and the transection time during right hemi-hepatectomy. LHM has been used in various anatomical hepatectomy procedures worldwide, including laparoscopic hepatectomy. The use of LHM markedly improves the amount of intraoperative blood loss, operative time and postoperative outcome. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that the application of LHM is an important development in the field of liver surgery, although a further evaluation of its true impact on clinical outcomes is necessary.

Abstract
Liver resection remains the method of choice for curative treatment for liver tumors. Development in diagnostic and surgical techniques has improved operative results as well as long-term outcomes. In the last decade minimally invasive laparoscopic (LAP) surgery has been increasingly adopted by liver units. The trend in LAP liver resection has been moving from limited resections towards major hepatectomy. This process, however, is relatively slow, which can be due to technical difficulties of the procedure and fear of haemorrhage. Despite having a hard time at the start, major resections become more common. Up to now approximately 6000 LAP liver resections were performed worldwide, number of major hepatectomies is estimated between 700-800. LAP liver resections are feasible with significant benefits for patients consisting of less blood loss, less narcotic requirements, and shorter hospital stay with comparable postoperative morbidity and mortality to open liver resections. It is an accepted management of both benign and malignant liver lesions. There is no difference between LAP and open surgery in late survival after resection for colorectal liver metastases. Overall survival of LAP resected hepatocellular carcinoma cases seems to be superior compared with open surgery.
