Single-Port Laparoscopic Surgery Is Feasible and Safe for Hepatic Left Lateral Sectionectomy for Benign Liver Lesions

Figure 1

(a) The “five-step” single-port laparoscopic hepatic left lateral sectionectomy is developed based on the anatomical features of the hepatic left lateral lobe. (b) The left hepatic lateral lobe was fully freed. (c) The ultrasonic scalpel was used to expose the vascular pedicle of segments II and III. (d) Articulating linear cutter stapler was used to divide the II/III vascular pedicle. (e) The ultrasonic scalpel was used to expose the left hepatic vein. (f) Linear cutter stapler was used to divide the left hepatic vein.
