Abstract | The anterior-approach right hepatectomy was introduced by Kazue Ozawa in 1992. It is
particularly suitable for treating large right-liver tumors. With this technique, prolonged rotation
of the right liver could be avoided, thereby precluding interruption of the inflow and outflow of
the liver and preserving the liver function. In the technique, after division of the right portal vein
and the hepatic artery, the liver is transected by CUSA from the anterior surface of the liver
down to the liver hilum and caudate lobe, thereby exposing the inferior vena cava. Short hepatic
veins and right hepatic vein are then dissected from the front and individually ligated. After
dividing the triangular ligament, the right liver could be removed.
In a prospective randomized trial on patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, we demonstrated
that the anterior-approach right hepatectomy resulted in less major bleeding, less dissemination of
cancer cells into the systemic circulation and longer overall survival when compared with the
conventional technique.
The anterior approach is also applicable to left hepatectomy. Moreover, it is a favorable approach
when the bile duct in the right liver is infected and obstructed or when abscess is present in the
right liver, as without forceful rotation of the right liver, infected material would not be squeezed
into the systemic circulation. |
