Objective: To explore the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic right hemihepatectomy via an anterior-inferior approach through retrohepatic tunnel in the dissection of short hepatic veins (SHVs).
Methods: After partial freeing of right liver, anterior peritoneum of inferior cava vena (ICV) was opened. Retrohepatic space was dissected via an anterior-inferior approach to establish the posterior tunnel partially. Then the first branch of right side SHVs could be freed and ligated after its exposure through the right part of retrohepatic tunnel. The above procedure was repeated until the right side SHVs or the third hepatic portal became partially or completely blocked. If right side SHVs were completely freed and ligament of right liver fully isolated, right hepatic vein could be exposed and ligated and selective blockage of the second hepatic portal blood flow accomplished. This technique was applied in 7 cases of laparoscopic right hemihepatectomy through curettage transaction and aspiration with laparoscopic Peng's multifunctional operative dissector (LPMOD).
Results: Six patients were treated successfully. In one case of right hepatic hemangioma, small margin auxiliary hematischesis was attempted because of troublesome hemostasis of middle hepatic vein branch. All of them underwent partial dissection of right side of SHVs. Two cases had complete dissection in which right hepatic vein was freed and ligated, the second hepatic porta blood flow controlled and right hemihepatectomy anatomically achieved. Operative duration was 300-540 min [mean, 399.1 ± 74.7]. The time of dissecting hepatic porta was 30-75 min [mean, 50.7 ± 16.2]. The time of dissecting SHVs was 35-95 min [mean, 57.1 ± 22.1]. The time of liver transection was 60-160 min [mean, 115.9 ± 32.3]. Operative blood loss had a volume at 600-3000 ml [mean, 1485.7 ± 809.2]. The postoperative hospital stay was 10-18 days [mean, 12.4 ± 2.6]. The postoperative time for ambulation, diet and flatus was 2-4, 1-4 and 2-4 days respectively. No severe postoperative complications occurred.
Conclusion: During laparoscopic right hemihepatectomy, dissecting SHVs is both safe and feasible through a retrohepatic tunnel via an anterior-inferior approach.

Background And Objectives: The intraosseous subarcuate loop (SL) is a unique variant of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA), where a loop of the artery is trapped in the petrous bone's subarcuate fossa (SF). Recognizing this variant is crucial for planning cerebellopontine angle (CPA) surgeries; however, data regarding its frequency and management vary in the published literature. A cohort from a single center was studied using MRI to assess its prevalence, and the findings were compared with the existing literature.

Introduction: Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a rare condition, characterized by unilateral, paroxysmal and involuntary contraction of the muscles innervated by the facial nerve (FN). The most common cause is a vascular conflict in the exit zone of the FN. The objective of this work is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of neurovascular decompression (NVD).

Background: Aneurysms of the lower basilar artery (BA) are rare, accounting for <1% of all intracranial aneurysms. This location has been described as "No man's land" since it poses a potential challenge for microsurgery. Recently, endovascular treatment has become an alternative option; however, there are some disadvantages regarding the obliteration rate, patency of the parent, and perforating arteries.

Introduction: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a neurovascular disorder characterized by severe, episodic facial pain, often attributed to vascular compression of the trigeminal nerve. The commonly reported artery responsible for compression is the superior cerebellar artery. Additionally, the anterior inferior cerebellar artery is also noted as a potential contributor to vascular loop compression.
