Selective hypertrophy of the lobus caudatus as a novel approach enabling extended right hepatectomy in the presence of a non-perfused left lateral liver lobe.
[cholangiocarcinoma]
Portal
vein
embolization
(
PVE
)
is
a
well-established
technique
to
enhance
functional
hepatic
reserves
of
segments
II
and
III
before
curative
extended
right
hepatectomy
for
tumors
of
the
right
liver
lobe
.
However
,
an
adequate
hepatopetal
flow
of
the
left
lateral
portal
vein
branches
is
required
for
a
sufficient
PVE-associated
hypertrophy
.
Here
,
we
report
a
65
-
year
old
patient
suffering
from
a
locally
advanced
intrahepatic
cholangiocarcinoma
in
the
right
liver
lobe
and
segment
IV
.
A
curative
extended
right
hepatectomy
after
preoperative
PVE
of
liver
segments
IV-VIII
was
initially
impossible
because
of
partial
thrombosis
of
the
left
lateral
portal
vein
branches
resulting
in
an
ischemic-
type
atrophy
of
segments
II
and
III
.
However
,
due
to
a
massive
hypertrophy
of
the
caudate
lobe
following
PVE
of
liver
segments
IV-VIII
,
subsequent
extended
right
hepatectomy
with
intraoperative
thrombectomy
of
segments
II
and
III
was
made
possible
.
To
our
knowledge
this
is
the
first
case
in
which
an
extended
right
hepatectomy
for
a
liver
malignancy
,
in
the
presence
of
atrophic
left
lateral
section
,
was
made
possible
by
a
massive
PVE-associated
hypertrophy
of
the
caudate
lobe
.
