Asian J Surg. 2009 Oct;32(4):247-52. doi: 10.1016/S1015-9584(09)60402-4.

Abstract

Preservation of the main branches of the right hepatic vein in hepatectomy can retain the liver function of the future remnant liver, and especially in some types of radical surgery, reconstruction of the hepatic vein is considered. A case is here presented where a high risk patient diagnosed with Caroli disease was treated effectively using precise hepatectomy.
