Resection and Reconstruction of the Right Hepatic Vein With Combined S4, S7 and S8 Segmentectomy
Accepted 19 June 2009.
Preservation of the main branches of the right hepatic vein in hepatectomy can retain the liver function of the future remnant liver, and especially in some types of radical surgery, reconstruction of the hepatic vein is considered. A case is here presented where a high risk patient diagnosed with Caroli disease was treated effectively using precise hepatectomy.
