title: [New method for preparation of the totally hepatectomized dog. Critical review of the literature and surgical technics].
abstract: A critical review of the relevant literature is followed by the presentation of a new method for total hepatectomy in the dog. This is carried out in a single stage. Its main advantage is there is no temporary interruption of the portal or portocaval flow. A synthetic prosthesis is anastomosed end-to-end with the subhepatic vena cava and end-to-side with the supradiaphragmatic cava. Next, the portal vein is anastomosed side-to-side with the prosthesis and ligated upstream. Hepatectomy is then performed.
