Intra Versus Extrahepatic Division of Right Hepatic Vein During Rightsided Hemihepatectomy

Randomized Phase 2 Study of Intra Versus Extrahepatic Division of Right Hepatic Vein During Rightsided Hemihepatectomy

Intrahepatic division of the hepatic vein is associated with less blood loss than extrahepatic dissection and division of the right hepatic vein.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Hepatic lesion amenable to right sided hemihepatectomy.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Hepatic lesions not suitable for a anatomical right sided hemihepatectomy.
• Unfit for surgery
• Unwillingness to participate
