Abstract
Hepatic caudate lobectomy is a technical challenge because of the unique anatomical location; the caudate lobe is surrounded by the first, second, and third portae hepatis, all of which consist of important and potentially dangerous structures. Recently, the surgical approach to caudate lobectomy has been gradually standardized. Approaches are mostly dependent on the size and location of the lesion as well as the severity of cirrhosis.
