To provide a standardized approach for laparoscopic access to dissection of the first and second porta hepatis. By opening a portion of the hepatic serosa and subsequently exposing the hepatic Laennec's capsule, dissection of the first and second porta hepatis was performed along the Laennec's capsule. Utilizing the "Hepatic Serosal Incision" approach along the Laennec's capsule enabled the precise dissection of the left and right hepatic pedicles of the first porta hepatis and the root of the hepatic veins at the second porta hepatis under laparoscopy. This method allows for rapid and accurate access to the space between Laennec's capsule and the hepatic hilar plate system under laparoscopy as well as clear exposure of the root of the hepatic veins and their branches, facilitating more precise laparoscopic anatomical liver resection.

Background: Laparoscopic anatomical liver resection has become more challenging because some subsegmental Glissonean pedicles are hard to dissect. Here, we introduce how to dissect every (sub) segmental Glissonean pedicle from the first porta hepatis and perform standardized (sub) segmentectomy [from segment 1 (S1) to S8].

Aim: To summarize our methods of laparoscopic anatomical segmental and subsegmental liver resection.

Background: Intraoperative hemorrhage is one of the major complications of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) and is mainly caused by technical difficulties of the surgical procedure besides primary liver diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and clinical effects of a novel proceduralized donor liver back-table preparation (DLBTP) technique for use in OLT.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted between January 2018 and June 2020 based on patients who had undergone OLT.

BACKGROUND The configuration of the hepatic arteries is known to vary substantially between individuals. Here, we report a rare retroperitoneal configuration of an accessory hepatic artery existing alongside a left and right hepatic artery branching from the proper hepatic artery. During routine dissection, we discovered an anomalous configuration of the hepatic arteries that does not fit the commonly used categorizations for abnormal hepatic vasculature.

Purpose: To establish the normal ranges of the main portal vein (MPV), left portal vein (LPV), and right portal vein (RPV) diameters in children and adolescents using abdominal contrast-enhanced CT.

Methods: We retrospectively enrolled children and adolescents (under 19 years) who underwent abdominal contrast-enhanced CT examinations in our hospital between January 2018 and January 2024. Subjects with conditions potentially affecting the portal vein diameter were excluded.
