Findings from Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery Reveals New Findings on Hemihepatectomy (Efficiency and Safety of Laparoscopic Left Hemihepatectomy: a Study of Intrathecal vs Extrathecal Glissonean Pedicle Techniques).

A new report from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery in Yunnan, China, explores the efficiency and safety of laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy using intrathecal and extrathecal Glissonean pedicle techniques. The study analyzed the clinical data of 49 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy. The results showed that both techniques were effective and safe, but the extrathecal approach was found to be more feasible, simplifying the procedure and shortening the operation time. The research concludes that the extrathecal technique is more efficient. [Extracted from the article]
