Abstract:
Isolated resection of the caudate lobe for primary or metastatic neoplasms is an uncommon operation. Our experience with mobilization of the liver in more than 700 hepatic transplants has led us to a simplified technique for caudate lobe resection. Herein we describe our technique and report our experience with three patients.
