Hilar cholangiocarcinoma—surgical anatomy and curative resection

We have studied the surgical anatomy of the intrahepatic bile duct, hepatic hilus, and caudate lobe based on intraoperative findings and selective cholangiography of surgical patients and resected specimens, and have established the cholangiographic anatomy of the intrahepatic subsegmental bile duct. Thorough knowledge of the three-dimensional anatomy of the subsegmental bile duct, hepatic hilus, and caudate lobe is indispensable for curative surgery of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. We designed and actually performed 15 kinds of hepatic segmentectomies with caudate lobectomy and extrahepatic bile buct resection in 100 consecutive patients, with curative resection being possible in 82 patients. Postoperative survival after curative resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma was better than expected, and the 5-year survival rates for all 82 patients with curative resection and for 55 patients with curative surgery without portal vein resection were 31% and 43%, respectively. Hepatic segmentectomy with caudate lobectomy and extrahepatic bile duct resection should be designed not only in accordance with the preoperative diagnosis of tumor extension into the intrahepatic bile ducts but also so that curative surgery for advanced hilar cholangiocarcinoma can be performed.     

Anatomicopathological Study of Vascular and Biliary Systems Using Cast Samples of Fasciola‐infected Bovine Livers

In 117 livers with fascioliasis, this study was focused on the number of Fasciola, the number and intrahepatic localization of affected hepatic ducts and bile ducts, and the degree of fibrosis in the hepatic segments and bile ducts. The degree of pathological changes in bile ducts caused by fascioliasis was classified into five levels. The site of Fasciola habitation was most often the hepatic ducts of the porta hepatis: it was the left hepatic duct in 101 livers and the right hepatic duct in 88 livers. Casts were prepared by infusing synthetic resin into the hepatic arterial, portal, hepatic venous and biliary systems of 15 bovine livers with fascioliasis and then examined. In the left lobe, quadrate lobe, and caudate process where atrophic fibrosis was noted, the bile ducts became rod‐shaped by losing branches, and the samples resembled dead branches of liver. Portal branches were thinned or completely terminated with marked fibrosis. Fine and irregular newly formed bile ducts not parallel with portal branches were observed in livers with markedly chronic fascioliasis. Distal portal branches in the right lobe, caudate lobe, and papillary process showed hypertrophic proliferative changes. The arterial system was generally well developed in thickened walls of bile ducts and formed vascular beds, and surrounded the bile ducts as tubes. In livers with severe fibrosis, capillaries were markedly developed and resembled glass cotton.     

Extended liver resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma

Liver resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma should be designed for individual patients, based on both precise diagnosis of cancer extent and accurate evaluation of hepatic functional reserve. Therefore we have developed various types of hepatic segmentectomy. Combined caudate lobectomy is essential in every patient with separated hepatic confluence. So-called extensive hepatectomy, resection of 50% or more of the hepatic mass, includes right lobectomy and right or left trisegmentectomy. Right lobectomy with caudate lobectomy is indicated when the progression of cancer is predominant in the right anterior and posterior segmental bile ducts. The plane of liver transection is along the Cantlie line, and the left hepatic duct is divided just at the right side of the umbilical portion of the left portal vein. Right trisegmentectomy with caudate lobectomy is performed in carcinoma which involves the right hepatic ducts in continuity with the left medial segmental bile duct. The umbilical portion of the left portal vein is freed from the umbilical plate by dividing the small portal branches arising from the cranial side of the umbilical portion. Then the left lateral segmental bile ducts are exposed and divided at the left side of the umbilical portion of the left portal vein. Left trisegmentectomy with caudate lobectomy is suitable for carcinoma which involves the left intrahepatic bile duct in continuity with the right anterior segmental bile duct. Liver transection is advanced along the right portal fissure. The right posterior segmental bile duct is usually divided distal to the confluence of the inferior and superior branches.     

Extended right hepatic lobectomy with resection of inferior vena cava and portal vein for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

We report a case of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma treated by extended right lobectomy and resection of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and portal vein. A 53-year-old man was referred with elevated serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GTP) levels on April 23, 1999. He was not jaundiced and did not have any symptoms. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) revealed irregular strictures in both the anterior and posterior segmental ducts. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a low-density tumor with an unclear margin in the right lobe of the liver. The patient underwent extended right hepatic lobectomy and total caudate lobectomy. Partial resection of the IVC (6 cm) was performed under total hepatic vascular exclusion. The main portal trunk and left portal vein were resected and reconstructed with an end-to-end anastomosis. Macroscopically, a 5.0 × 5.0 × 4.5-cm periductal infiltrating-type tumor occupied the right hepatic parenchyma along the posterior and anterior segmental ducts. Histological examination revealed moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma with marked perineural invasion. Lymph node metastasis was observed in the hepatoduodenal ligament and posterior surface of the pancreatic head. The resected margins of the common bile duct and left hepatic duct were free of tumor. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and he was discharged from hospital on the 28th postoperative day. Nine months after the operation, he suddenly developed obstructive jaundice, and died with recurrent disease. This is the first reported case of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma treated with major hepatectomy and resection of the IVC and portal vein except ex situ procedure. This aggressive surgical approach may offer hope for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma involving the IVC. Received: March 27, 2000 / Accepted: August 8, 2000

The feasibility of in vivo resection of the left lobe of the liver and its use for transplantation

The anatomical possibility of resecting the left lobe of the liver (segments II and III) in living subjects and using it for transplantation was evaluated. A group of 60 cadaveric livers were dissected at autopsy. The vascular and biliary elements of the left lobe were isolated and the lobe was resected and evaluated for possible grafting. The left lobe was 12-28% (mean 19.4%) of the liver mass. An extrahepatic segment of the left hepatic vein was isolated in 95% of specimens. Arterial blood supply to the left lobe consisted of a single artery (92%) or two arteries (8%). A single portal vein segment to the left lobe (type I) was found in 35% livers. Portal vein branches originated from a common orifice (type II, 35%) or separately (type III, 30%) from the left portal vein, and in these instances, preparation of a portal segment necessitated partial section of the left portal vein wall. Biliary drainage was extrahepatic in 56 livers and consisted of a single duct (type I, 78%), or two ducts (type II, 15%). The resected left lobe was evaluated as satisfactory (single hepatic vein and artery, types I or II portal vein, type I bile duct) in 48% of cases, while a less-satisfactory lobe (type III portal vein or type II bile duct) was obtained in 33%. It was found anatomically difficult or impossible to resect the left lobe for possible transplantation in 11 (19%) liver specimens.     

The role of hepatic veins in liver operations

In this report we review the role of the hepatic veins in resective operations of the liver. Emphasis is placed on the distribution of the hepatic veins, their relationship to hepatic arterial and portal venous inflow tracts, and the drainage patterns of hepatic lobules. An extensive review of the older literature has emphasized the necessity to preserve hepatic venous drainage for the various hepatic segments to prevent postoperative liver congestion and injury. Recent experimental and clinical reports have identified the mechanisms through which hepatic vein obstruction can be well tolerated. These mechanisms include interlobar and interlobular collateral development, reversal of blood flow in the portal vein with conversion of the portal vein to an outflow tract, development of extrahepatic collaterals, drainage through the caudate lobe, and increased lymphatic draining to relieve hepatic congestion.     

Relation among portal segmentation, proper hepatic vein, and external notch of the caudate lobe in the human liver

OBJECTIVE: To identify portal segmentation and a portal fissure in the caudate lobe of the human liver in relation to the hepatic venous system and the external notch at the caudal edge of the caudate lobe. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Although the anatomy of the caudate lobe has been studied, the detailed anatomy has not yet been clarified; this is necessary to develop safe procedures for caudate lobe resection. METHODS: A total of 88 formalin-fixed human livers were dissected to visualize the portal vein and hepatic vein systems of the caudate lobe in relation to the external notch. RESULTS: The patterns of portal branching were classified into two types. In 58 livers (67.4%), the territories of the first-order portal branches were clearly divided into two areas (the Spiegel lobe and the paracaval portion). In the remaining 28 livers (32.6%), the territories of the second-order portal branches were clearly divided into two areas. These two areas were distinctly separated by an internal plane, which was coincident with the external notch. The caudate lobe had a systematized hepatic venous system that consisted of one (87.5%) or two (11.4%) proper hepatic veins and plural accessory hepatic veins. The proper hepatic veins laid along the internal plane between these two portal areas. CONCLUSION: The caudate lobe exhibited distinct portal segmentation with a portal fissure that was indicated internally by the proper hepatic vein and externally by the notch at the caudal edge of the caudate lobe.     

Surgical anatomy of the hepatic hilar area

It is important to understand the main variations of the biliary and vascular elements inside the plate system for hilar bile duct carcinoma because all variations of these elements occur in this plate system. The plate system consists of the hilar plate, cystic plate, and umbilical plate which cover the extrahepatic vascular system and are fused with the hepatoduodenal ligament. The bile duct and vascular system that penetrate the plate system form Glisson's capsule in the liver, but the caudate branch and the medial segmental branch are exceptions. The bile duct and hepatic artery accompanying the plate system can be exfoliated from the portal vein with numerous lymph ducts and nerves. The bile ducts in the right hepatic lobe are classified into 4 types, and the standard type is present in 53-72% of cases. In the left bile duct, the medial segmental bile duct is connected in the vicinity of the hilar area in 35.5% of cases, and these cases should be treated the same as the caudate lobe in hilar bile duct carcinoma. Generally, there is little main variation of the portal vein (16-26%), but more variation in the hepatic artery (31-33%). During surgery for hilar bile duct carcinoma, it is important to observe the plate system and the many variations of the bile duct and vascular system.

The paracaval segments of the liver

Two segments constitute thedorsal sector: I to the left and in front of the inferior vena cava, and IX in front and to the right of the cava; they are united inferiorly by the caudate process. Segment I includes the caudate lobe, and segment IX is incorporated in the posterior surface of the right liver. Small dorsal pedicles, which are quite numerous, arise from the posterior margin of the main portal elements, and ascend upward. Segment I receives twigs from the left or right livers, many from the right lateral pedicle (67 biliary branches enter the right lateral duct, the unique duct in three cases). Segment IX consists of three subsegments. IXb lies under the interval between the middle and right superior hepatic veins, in 40% of the cases examined the veins come from the left portal vein or the bifurcation, in 6 cases the ducts enter the left hepatic duct, in 40 cases the branches extend higher than the plane of the main hepatic veins, in 18 cases reaching the upper surface of the liver. IXc is under the right hepatic vein, and IXd is to the right of a vertical plane passing by the right superior vein. Hepatic veins, enter the cava directly, sometimes the middle or the left hepatic veins.     

Anomalous intrahepatic portal system in a patient with hilar bile duct cancer

We report a case of anomaly of the intrahepatic portal system in a 65-year-old man with hilar bile duct cancer. Preoperatively, percutaneous transhepatic portography demonstrated that there was a right posterior portal vein arising from the main portal vein. In addition, a large portal branch originated from the left portal vein and coursed toward the right hepatic lobe. Following portal embolization of the right posterior branch, the patient underwent an extended right hepatectomy with a caudate lobectomy. Intraoperatively, to the left at the porta hepatis and then it first gave off the right anterior portal vein originated from the left portal vein and coursed toward the right hepatic lobe horizontally behind the gallbladder and then separated into superior and inferior segmental branches to supply the right anterior segment of the liver. The ramification of some major branches without malposition of the gallbladder or round ligament was the important clinical feature of this anomaly.

Abstract：

Objective To establish a rat self-control model with the bile duct deprived (BDD) and the portal vein deprived (PVD) hepatic lobe and to observe whether there were communicated branches between the two lobes.Methods Forty SD rats were divided into four groups: group S with sham operation as an undisposed blank control, group BL with the right lobe bile duct embolized and ligated, group PL with the quadrate lobe portal vein ligated, and group BPL with the right lobe bile duct embolized and ligated and meanwhile the quadrate lobe portal vein ligated. The right hepatic bile ducts were embolized with cyanoacrylate and then ligated to prepare the BDD lobe. The portal vein of quadrate hepatic lobes was ligated as the PVD lobes. The observation period was 1 month after the bile duct or portal vein ligated. The values of liver weight/body weight and the quadrate lobe weight/the right lobe weight were recorded. The bile duct and portal vein casting specimens of these four groups were prepared by a perfusion with barium and gelatin solution. Three-dimensional micro-computerized tomography (Micro-CT) data sets were acquired to observe the morphological changes of bile duct and portal vein of the livers and whether there were communicated branches between the right and quadrate lobes in order to estimate the feasibility of the model.Results (1) The survival rate of rats after operation was 100%. No jaundice was observed. The ratio of liver/body weight in groups S, BL and PL was about 3.5%, significantly lower than that in group BPL (P<0.01). The ratio of quadrate/right lobe weight in groups S and BL was about 60%-70%, while that was about 20% in groups PL and BPL (P<0.05, or P<0.01); (2) Micro-CT images exhibited directly the morphological changes of the hepatic bile duct and portal vein, and no communicated branches or side circulation situation were observed between the two lobes.Conclusion No collateral branches were found between the two lobes and the model was successfully established. The barium casting liver specimen scanned by micro-CT provided a useful method for the morphological observation of rat liver Glissons system.     

Hepatectomy for cholangiocarcinoma complicated with right umbilical portion: anomalous configuration of the intrahepatic biliary tree

The right umbilical portion (right-sided round ligament) has been discussed as an intrahepatic portal venous anomaly associated with "left-sided gallbladder" in several reports. We treated two patients with right umbilical portion (RUP) associated with cholangiocarcinoma. Left hepatectomies were performed, preserving the residual hepatic blood flow and biliary continuity. From our experience in these patients we propose the presence of anomalous configuration of the intrahepatic biliary tree in RUP, because both patients showed medial segmental bile ducts ramified from the right and left hepatic ducts. In general, although the medial segmental bile duct ramified from the left, we surmised that this abnormal bilateral drainage pattern may not be a rare phenomenon in RUP. Special attention may be required to focus on the anatomy of the portal tributaries and biliary ramifications in RUP. Received for publication on July 7, 1999; accepted on Nov. 11, 1999     

Retroportal Hepaticojejunostomy for Extended Resection of Hilar Bile Ducts

High hepatic duct resection sometimes is unavoidable in achieving curative resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma, as tumor cells can extend further than expected along the bile ducts from the macroscopically evident cancer. In patients undergoing left hemihepatectomy with caudate lobectomy whose bile duct must be severed at the subsegmental bile duct levels, the orifices of the posterior bile ducts would lie behind the right portal vein. Conventional hepaticojejunostomy would be risky in such cases because an anastomosis performed in the usual manner would be subjected to strain. Instead, between 2002 and 2004, three patients underwent retroportal hepaticojejunostomy using a jejunal limb mobilized and positioned behind the hepatoduodenal ligament. Primary tumors were classified as type IV in the Bismuth–Corlette classification. Tension-free hepaticojejunal anastomosis was performed successfully in all three patients; insufficiency of the hepaticojejunostomy did not develop. Neither early nor late complications directly related to this method occurred. Retroportal hepaticojejunostomy, thus, permits more peripheral resection of the hepatic duct while providing a sufficient operative field for safe, tension-free anastomosis. This technique is very useful for patients undergoing left hemihepatectomy requiring high hilar resection of the bile duct.     

Surgical anatomy of the left lateral segment as applied to living-donor and split-liver transplantation: a clinicopathologic study

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate intrahepatic vascular and biliary anatomy of the left lateral segment (LLS) as applied to living-donor and split-liver transplantation. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Living-donor and split-liver transplantation are innovative surgical techniques that have expanded the donor pool. Fundamental to the application of these techniques is an understanding of intrahepatic vascular and biliary anatomy. METHODS: Pathologic data obtained from cadaveric liver corrosion casts and liver dissections were clinically correlated with the anatomical findings obtained during split-liver, living-donor, and reduced-liver transplants. RESULTS: The anatomical relation of the left bile duct system with respect to the left portal venous system was constant, with the left bile duct superior to the extrahepatic transverse portion of the left portal vein. Four specific patterns of left biliary anatomy and three patterns of left hepatic venous drainage were identified and described. CONCLUSIONS: Although highly variable, the biliary and hepatic venous anatomy of the LLS can be broadly categorized into distinct patterns. The identification of the LLS duct origin lateral to the umbilical fissure in segment 4 in 50% of cast specimens is significant in the performance of split-liver and living-donor transplantation, because dissection of the graft pedicle at the level of the round ligament will result in separate ducts from segments 2 and 3 in most patients, with the further possibility of an anterior segment 4 duct. A connective tissue bile duct plate, which can be clinically identified, is described to guide dissection of the segment 2 and 3 biliary radicles.
