Limited resection of the right hemiliver based on reclassification of the right anterior segment of the liver.
We proposed that the anterior segment was divided into ventral and dorsal segments, and reclassified the right hemiliver into three segments; ventral, dorsal, and posterior segments. According to our classification we successfully performed limited resection of the right hemiliver.
