Laennec's approach for laparoscopic anatomic hepatectomy based on Laennec's capsule.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although isolating Glissonean pedicles and hepatic veins are critical procedures during anatomical hepatectomy, there is no standardized approach. We propose the novel Laennec's approach for laparoscopic anatomic hepatectomy (LAH) based on Laennec's capsule, which serves as the anatomic landmark for LAH. The aim of this study was to elucidate that the natural gap between Laennec's capsule and the adjacent tissues contributes to standardization of the surgical technique for LAH.

Methods

Eighty-four cases were enrolled in this observable clinical trial. They underwent LAH for liver diseases. Laennec's approach was proposed for LAH based on Laennec's capsule. The liver tissues close to Glissonean pedicle, hepatic veins, naked area, and inferior vena cava were collect
