Abstract

Anatomical (sub)segmentectomy is considered to be the standard surgery for hepatic malignancies. In order to perform safe and accurate anatomical hepatectomy, it is important to understand the special relationships between the tumor and intrahepatic vessels and to identify the exact extent of hepatic segments to be removed. In this article, we describe a method of identifying boundaries of the hepatic segment (hepatic segmentation) using ICG fluorescence imaging technique.
