Area of Science:

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Surgical Oncology
Animal Models in Research

Background:

Laparoscopic hepatectomy is a complex surgical procedure requiring robust preclinical models for development.
Establishing safe and effective laparoscopic techniques for liver resection is crucial for advancing surgical options.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and validate a porcine model for laparoscopic partial hepatectomy.
To assess the feasibility and safety of performing liver resections using low-pressure pneumoperitoneum and abdominal wall lifting.

Main Methods:

Development of a full-thickness abdominal wall lifting technique to support laparoscopic liver surgery.
Performance of laparoscopic partial hepatectomy in a porcine model under normal or low-pressure pneumoperitoneum.
Utilization of an ultrasonic dissector with electrocautery for liver parenchyma incision.

Main Results:

Successful execution of laparoscopic partial hepatectomy in the porcine model.
Demonstrated safety and smoothness of liver incisions using the specialized ultrasonic dissector.
The technique was effective under both normal and low-pressure pneumoperitoneum conditions.

Conclusions:

The developed porcine model serves as a valuable platform for establishing laparoscopic hepatectomy.
The described technique, utilizing abdominal wall lifting and advanced dissection tools, is feasible for liver resection.
While currently limited to peripheral lesions, this approach holds potential for future clinical application in select patients.
