Anatomical Right Posterior Sectionectomy of the Liver by IOUS-Guided Finger Compression

NCT00797251 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Summary

The use of intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) allows us to perform new conservative hepatectomies. The investigators previously reported the systematic subsegmentectomy by IOUS-guided finger compression for segments 2-3, which is currently applied for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)on cirrhosis. The investigators herein describe a novel technique, which consists in the systematic right posterior sectionectomy by IOUS-guided finger compression.

PROCEDURE

Anatomical right posterior sectionectomy of the liver by IOUS-guided finger compression.

The technique consists in IOUS-guided finger compression of the right posterior portal pedicle at the level closest to the tumor but oncologically suitable. This method allows us to anatomically mark the area of resection with nor hilar plate nor IOUS-guided puncture of vessels, which are up to date the only two techniques available to perform anatomical right posterior sectionectomy - namely the removal of segment 6 and 7.
