The liver hanging maneuver (LHM) aids liver surgery by guiding transection and controlling bleeding. Modified techniques expand its use in complex liver resections and transplants.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Liver Anatomy

Background:

  • The liver hanging maneuver (LHM) is a critical surgical technique for liver parenchyma transection.
  • Originally used for right hepatectomy in anterior approaches for large liver tumors.
  • The tape guides transection, controls bleeding, and protects the inferior vena cava (IVC).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explain the original and modified liver hanging maneuver (LHM) techniques.
  • To detail the methods, potential pitfalls, and anatomical considerations of LHM.
  • To highlight the expanded applicability of LHM in various liver surgeries.

Main Methods:

  • Description of the original liver hanging maneuver (LHM) for right hepatectomy.
  • Explanation of modified LHM techniques for left hepatectomy and segmentectomy 1.
