Abstract
BACKGROUND: Because of the complex anatomy of the right posterior hepatic pedicle, there have been few reports on standardized laparoscopic portal territory staining-guided anatomical resection of liver segment 6 (LPTAR-S6). This study aimed to elucidate the indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence staining methods for LPTAR-S6. PATIENTS AND METHODS: LPTAR-S6 can be performed using positive and negative fluorescence staining approaches. We implemented these two approaches for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Descriptions of the surgical strategy and technical details are presented. RESULTS: Two patients safely underwent LPTAR-S6 using a preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction plan. The intraoperative ICG fluorescence staining effect was satisfactory, and the anatomical landmarks were fully exposed. CONCLUSIONS: A detailed preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction plan, complete intraoperative application of real-time laparoscopic ultrasound guidance, and ICG fluorescence staining can result in accurate transection of the liver parenchyma during LPTAR-S6.
