Glissonean Pedicles Approach in Minimally Invasive Liver Surgery

Abstract

Liver surgery has evolved constantly in the last decades, benefiting from technological innovations that have permitted great reduction in surgical morbidity and mortality. One emerging technology which is still in continuous refinement is 3D virtual reconstruction and visualisation. This technology permits accurate surgical planning by highlighting tumour location and its relation to local vessels and biliary drainage, portal, arterial and biliary endo-navigation and by computation of future liver remnant based on hepatectomy simulation. This appears to provide improved patients’ outcomes as well as more efficient young surgeon training. Further developments may include quality of parenchyma evaluation and intraoperative surgical enhancement through superimposition of 3D images on the minimally invasive surgical field—augmented reality.
