This study presents a new surgical technique for isolated caudate lobectomy, a difficult liver surgery. The method enables safe and selective caudate lobe removal without major vessel occlusion, benefiting patients with liver cirrhosis.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Liver Anatomy

Background:

  • Isolated caudate lobectomy is a complex surgical procedure.
  • Current techniques lack safety and reliability.
  • The caudate lobe's anatomical position presents unique surgical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a safe and reliable technique for isolated caudate lobectomy.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of selective caudate lobe excision.

Main Methods:

  • The technique involves initial inflow control of the caudate lobe.
  • Mobilization is achieved by dividing short hepatic veins.
  • Parenchymal division occurs dorsal to major hepatic veins with liver rotation and selective devascularization.

Main Results:

  • The procedure was successfully performed on two patients with cirrhosis.
  • No intraoperative hemodynamic instability was observed.
  • Postoperative liver function remained stable.

Conclusions:

  • This novel technique allows for safe and selective caudate lobe excision.
  • It avoids the need for inferior vena cava occlusion or venovenous bypass.
  • This approach offers a promising solution for challenging caudate lobe resections.
