A comprehensive framework of the right posterior section for tailored anatomical liver resection based on three-dimensional simulation system.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The anatomical right posterior sectionectomy (ARPS) is a technically challenging procedure. We aimed to develop and validate a novel framework of the right posterior section for a safe and tailored anatomical liver resection (ALR) based on a three-dimensional (3D) simulation system.

Methods

3D hepatectomy simulations of healthy participants who underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the upper abdomen were retrospectively reviewed to develop the framework according to the relationship between the simulated plane determined by the right posterior portal pedicle (RPP) and the course of the right hepatic vein (RHV) trunk. The framework was validated in the practice of ARPS for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prospectively.
