Objective: To demonstrate the ablation of segmental glissonian pedicle by ultrasound-guided radiofrequency in precision liver resection in porcine model.
Methods: The study was carried out on 6 Bama miniature pigs. Coagulative desiccation of the vessels feeding the segment to be resected was induced by introduction of a "cooled-tip" radiofrequency electrode under intraoperative ultrasound guidance at the level of the vessels. Then, an area of marked discoloration on the surface of the liver became obvious. Liver parenchymal transection followed without any form of hepatic inflow occlusion. Three segments (segment 3, 5, and 6) were resected on each pig. The criteria studied the local and general tolerance, the change of blood flow parameters of each segmental arterial and portal branches, and the microscopic appearance of the segmental arterial, portal and biliary tract branches. Using t test as the statistical methods.
Results: Postoperative mortality and morbidity were 0 and all serum parameters had normalized by 14 days. Demarcation area was obtained in 15 segments. The flow rate of the resected segmental portal branches was 0 cm/s after radiofrequency and the value of the arterial branches was (28 ± 18) cm/s which was significantly lower than pre-radiofrequency, which were (10.2 ± 3.0) cm/s and (60 ± 17) cm/s (t = 14.439, 5.502; P = 0.000). There was no significant difference in the flow rate of the remnant segmental arterial and portal branches among pre-radiofrequency, post-radiofrequency and 14 days after operation. On microscopic observation, the mean ablated length of segmental portal, arterial and biliary tract branches were (1.6 ± 0.4) cm, (1.2 ± 0.4) cm, and (1.7 ± 0.3) cm respectively.
Conclusions: The ablation of the segmental glissonian pedicle by ultrasound-guided radiofrequency is quick, safe and effective. The probe needs to be away from vessels feeding segments 1.5 cm at least to avoid thermal injuries.

Article Synopsis
- * This report discusses a technique for LLLS that relies on specific anatomical landmarks, like the ligamentum teres hepatis and umbilical fissure vein, to guide surgeons in safely performing dissection while controlling bleeding even without CLCVP.
- * The use of these anatomical guides not only enhances the precision of liver resection but also makes the technique potentially beneficial for a broader range of patients, including those without cardiovascular or cerebrovascular issues.*

Introduction: Minimally invasive resection of segment VIII is a technically challenging procedure, made even more challenging when the resection is extended to segment IV and/or segment VII. Parenchymal-sparing resections are frequently used in the management of liver metastases but expose to the risk of R1 resection, especially with a minimally invasive approach. Preoperative surgical planning with 3D reconstruction and intraoperative guidance with hepatic vein is helpful for laparoscopic oncological liver resection.

Background: Laparoscopic anatomic resection of liver segment 4 is a technically challenging operation, which is rarely reported owing to the difficulty of defining the demarcation of a hepatic segment 4 on a monitor. The portal territory staining method is technically feasible to identify tumors and segment boundaries during hepatectomy. Herein, we describe the laparoscopic hepatectomy of segment 4 using the fluorescent-positive staining method.

Background: Left hepatic trisectionectomy consists of the removal of liver segments 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8. This difficult surgical procedure may be required when the left liver and right anterior sector (segments 5 and 8) are involved. We present a video of a robotic anatomic left trisectionectomy with Glissonian approach to the left and right anterior sector pedicles.
