Procedure: RIGHT HEPATECTOMY WITH CLASSIC APPROACH
The right portal branch and the right branch of the hepatic artery were identified, dissected and divided. Extraparenchymal ligation of pedicles for Sg4 was performed in case of extended right hepatectomy. The falciform and the right triangular ligaments were sectioned and the right liver up to the retrohepatic vena cava was totally mobilized by section and sutures of the accessory right hepatic veins. The right hepatic vein was controlled in an extrahepatic plane and encircled with a tape. At the end of parenchymal transection right hepatic vein was sectioned with endovascular stapler. The right bile duct and middle hepatic vein (in case of extended right hepatectomy) were divided intraparenchymally
