Summary
Hepatic vein reconstruction, including saphenous vein grafts, preserves liver function after major hepatic resections for malignancies. This technique shows promise for extending surgical options for liver cancer.
Area of Science:
- Hepatobiliary Surgery
- Surgical Oncology
- Vascular Reconstruction
Background:
- Hepatic malignancies frequently involve major hepatic veins, complicating surgical resection.
- Preserving remnant liver function after extensive liver resection is a significant clinical challenge.
