Total Anatomical Laparoscopic Liver Resection of Segment 4 (S4), Extended S4, and Subsegments S4a and S4b for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract

Total laparoscopic anatomical S4, extended S4, or S4a or S4b segmentectomy is a feasible procedure for HCC. The Glissonian pedicle transection method is an effective technique for rapid and safe control and subdivision of the S4 pedicle that facilitates anatomical laparoscopic S4, extended S4, and S4a and S4b segmentectomy.
