Isolated Segment 8 Liver Resection: Experience at Lampang Regional Hospital
Keywords:
Segment 8 Liver resection, Glissonian pedicle approachAbstract
Objective: Segment 8 liver lesion is rare, and limited resection of this lesion is difficult to perform because ofits location, and parenchyma transection is often needed to obtain the line of ischemic demarcation on liver surface.
The aim of this study was to present our experience of segment 8 of liver resection with intraoperative duplex
ultrasound guide.
Method: Isolated segment 8 liver resection was performed on four patients with liver tumors between October
2013 and September 2014. The Glissonian pedicle approach at hilum of liver without parenchyma dissection was
done, after complete mobilization of right lobe of liver. Transparenchymal ligation of segment 8 portal venous
branches, using intraoperative ultrasound guide, was used to accomplish the resection with the kellyclasia technique
Results: There was no perioperative complication and no mortality. The mean transection time was 206
minutes. The average amount of blood loss was 400 mL. Pathological examination showed adequate margin of tumor
resection.
Conclusion: Isolated segment 8 liver resection performed with “Glissonian pedicle” approach is safe, and
achieved adequate anatomical resection margin. This parenchyma sparing resection is an effective alternative to
major hepatectomy.
