Abstract: | This article describes a new technique for performing a laparoscopy-assisted right hepatic lobectomy using a hanger wall-lifting procedure. The patient is placed in the left semi-lateral position. A cholecystectomy and hemi-hepatic vascular inflow control are then performed through a midline incision, through which the resected liver can be removed. Next, the right lower chest and right upper abdominal wall are lifted by two wires vertical to the abdominal wall. Two ports, a 5-mm port in right lateral abdomen for forceps and a 12-mm port just right of the umbilicus for the laparoscope, are inserted. The obtained view of the operative field in the right upper abdominal cavity is thus excellent. The laparoscopy-assisted mobilization of the right hepatic lobe is done with the assistance of a hand inserted through the midline incision, including a dissection of the hepato-renal ligament, the right triangular ligament, and the right coronary ligament. A parenchymal dissection is then performed using the Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator (CUSA) and the resected specimen is passed through the midline incision without any morcellation of the liver. This procedure can minimize the length of the wound, while avoiding the lethal complications associated with pneumoperitoneum. |
