[Right lobe hemihepatectomy as living donor : video article].
The aim of this article is to demonstrate a right lobe hemihepatectomy to obtain a partial liver transplant for an adult organ recipient. Partial liver resection is carried out in the form of an ultrasound dissection of the parenchyma via a conventional (open) approach with a completely retained perfusion during the resection phase. The gall ducts are separated in the parenchymal phase and the peripheral segment of the middle hepatic vein is resected with the donor liver lobe. The surgical technique is demonstrated in detail with the help of a video of the operation that is available online. Furthermore, the advantages and disadvantages of the technique are discussed.
