title: [Hilar glissonean access to vascular-secretory elements in anatomical segmental liver resections].
abstract: It still remains unclear which patients with hepatic tumors can favour anatomical segmental liver resections instead of major liver resection. Short term results of anatomical segmental liver resection are evaluated and analyzed. Ten patients underwent the anatomical segmental liver resection performed by posterior approach with taping of anterior right hepatic vein. Seven patients had liver metastases of colorectal cancer, one had primary hepatic carcinoma and two had benign lesions, anatomical segmental liver resection were performed without Pringle maneuver. There was no significant difference in blood loss, duration of the procedure, postoperative hospital stay and morbidity in comparison with the segmental liver resection performed by anterior approach. Multiple, large and deep-embedded lesions were removed completely, with tumor-free resection margins. Anatomical segmental liver resection performed by hilar glissonean approach is recommended in patients with compromised liver function "unfavourable" liver anatomy to replace major liver resection provides removal of only affected part of the liver accordingly to its true anatomical borders.
