Intra Versus Extrahepatic Division of Right Hepatic Vein During Rightsided Hemihepatectomy

February 17, 2017 updated by: Lars Lundell, Karolinska University Hospital

Randomized Phase 2 Study of Intra Versus Extrahepatic Division of Right Hepatic Vein During Rightsided Hemihepatectomy

Intrahepatic division of the hepatic vein is associated with less blood loss than extrahepatic dissection and division of the right hepatic vein.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
PLACEBO_COMPARATOR: Extrahepatic vein division
Conventional right sided hemihepatectomy with division of the liver parenchyma with CUSA.
Standard surgical procedure with extrahepatic ligation/division of the right hepatic vein prior to parenchymal division with CUSA.
EXPERIMENTAL: Intrahepatic vein division
Conventional right sided hemihepatectomy with division of the liver parenchyma with CUSA and intrahepatic division of the right hepatic vein.
Ligation and division of the entrance of the right hepatic vein into the suprarenal cava vein are done at the end of transection of the liver parenchyma with CUSA.
