Laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy of hepatic vein approach

Laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy of hepatic vein approach is a laparoscopic hepatectomy technique based on anatomical hepatectomy and guided by hepatic vein. It not only can completely remove the focus and retain the structural integrity of the remaining liver tissue, but also has the advantages of less trauma and rapid recovery by laparoscopy. When the transection plane is guided by complete exposure of hepatic vein, the ineffective liver tissue without inflow and outflow tract can be completely removed, the possibility of postoperative tumor recurrence and postoperative complications can be reduced, so as to improve the survival rate of patients. At present, it is of great clinical value and widely carried out. This article will review the development of anatomical hepatectomy of hepatic vein approach and the main points of laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy of hepatic vein approach.
