teased off the hilar plate by gently pressing the RPV posteriorly with the Maryland in the left hand and sweeping the tissues off the vein with the scissors in the right hand.
Attention is then moved to the dissection of the posterior aspect of the RPV.The peritoneal lining the posterior aspect of the RPV is divided and retracted posterior­inferiorly by the laparoscopic assistant. The posterior wall of the portal vein is dissected free from the peritoneum surface until the caudate branches are visualized and dissected free. The PV side of these branches are always ligated to avoid clips on the PV, hamper­ing future clipping or stapling of the RPV, while the caudate side may be clipped.
Once all caudate branches are divided, the posterior RPV is then dissected off the hilar plate, moving cephalad until the dissection plane is met from the anterior side. Once this space is developed, the RPV is encircled with a vessel loop (Fig.24.7). The RPV may be divided between large plastic clips or stapler at this stage. If the RPV is particularly short, the proximal RPV inow can be clipped without division, in which case the completion of this process is performed later in the procedure (transection of the parenchyma and right hepatic duct increases the space around the RPV, which will enable placement of additional clips or a stapler prior to division).
Indocyanine Green Injection andFirefly™
Demarcation of right versus left liver lobes is enhanced by indocyanine green (ICG) dye injection (Fig.24.8). We use a 2.5 mg dose of ICG given after inow to the relevant lobe has been ligated. The line of demarcation is marked on the liver sur­face using electrocautery. Injecting the dye at this stage will also allow enough time for biliary excretion, which will assist in identication of the relevant-sided hepatic duct during parenchymal transection.
Mobilization oftheRight Lobe
The third arm is moved to the inferior aspect of segments 5 and 6 and used to retract these segments superior-anteriorly, exposing the inferior layer of the right coronary and right triangular ligaments. These ligaments are divided using the scissors or vessel sealer, taking care not to injure the diaphragm. As more of the bare area is

exposed, the third arm is moved sequentially superiorly and posteriorly to provide more retraction. The right adrenal gland is mobilized from the posterior surface of the liver. Once most of the bare area has been mobilized, we turn our attention medi­ally toward the retrohepatic inferior vena cava (IVC).
The peritoneal lining between the caudate and IVC is divided, and the short cau­date and hepatic veins draining directly to the IVC are serially divided between clips or with a vessel sealer (Fig.24.9). Dissection continues in a cephalad direction on the anterior surface of the retrohepatic IVC, mobilizing the liver from the IVC. Caudate lobe division at this point helps cephalad dissection of the IVC.Laterally, the hepatocaval ligament will be encountered and can be left intact at this stage as division of this ligament is easier after parenchymal transection. The liver is carefully mobilized from the IVC until the area between the right and middle hepatic veins is reached. This completes the right lobe mobilization.

Parenchymal Transection andBile Duct Division
Intraoperative Ultrasound
An ultrasound is performed to delineate the anatomy of the liver mass and rule out unsuspected liver metastasis prior to parenchymal transection. This examination also ensures that transection margins are accurately marked. Location of major ped­icles and segmental draining hepatic veins which will be encountered during tran­section can also be detected on ultrasound and marked on the liver surface. Ultrasound images can be visualized in conjunction with the operative view on the console using the multi-display system (Fig.24.10).
Retraction oftheLiver Using “Rubber Band” Technique
One rubber band is secured to the liver edges at each side of transection plane with 3/0 Vicryl sutures [12]. Each rubber band is then externalized on the skin of the cor­responding right and left upper abdomen and clamped to the drapes. This technique provides constant retraction of the transection plane without having to use any of the robotic or laparoscopic arms or a liver retractor (Fig.24.11).
Parenchymal Transection
The third arm is used to gently lift the inferior surface of the liver off the hilum. Parenchymal transection is performed with harmonic scalpel and Maryland bipolar forceps (Fig.24.12). Small intervening vessels and oozing from the parenchyma are controlled with bipolar electrocautery. Larger vessels including segmental veins may be clipped and divided with the harmonic device. As more of the parenchyma is transected, the liver edges are continually retracted due to the elasticity of the rubber bands.
An alternative technique is to deploy the laparoscopic Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator (CUSA, Integra Lifesciences, Princeton, NJ, USA) via one of the assistant ports to transect the parenchyma. The utility of this technique is dependent on the availability of a bedside surgeon who is facile in using the laparoscopic

CUSA.When the majority of the parenchyma has been transected (leaving only a 1–2cm strip of liver anterior to the IVC), the right hepatic duct (RHD) is divided.
Division ofRight Hepatic Duct
ICG cholangiogram offers visualization of the bile ducts and biliary bifurcation using Firey™. The location of RHD division is chosen based on the surgeon’s interpretation of the cholangiogram. The RHD with surrounding hilar plate should be encircled with an umbilical tape. The duct is then divided between clips. The distal duct should be doubly clipped if there is enough length; if not, the stump should be suture-ligated above a single clip.

Final Portion ofParenchymal Transection
Once the RHD is transected, the laparoscopic assistant inserts a grasper or suction catheter into the space previously created between the liver and retrohepatic IVC, which is used to lift the liver away from the IVC.This portion of the parenchyma is transected, heading cephalad toward the hepatic venous conuence. Finally, the grasper is inserted into the space between the right and middle hepatic vein, and the last portion of the parenchymal transection is completed.
Division oftheRight Hepatic Vein andHepatocaval Ligament, andSpecimen Retrieval
The Maryland forceps is used to encircle the right hepatic vein (RHV) with an umbilical tape from within the transection plane (Fig.24.13). The RHV is tran­sected with a stapler. The hepatocaval ligament is also transected with a separate ring of the stapler. The right lobe is then placed into a plastic retrieval bag, which is removed via a Pfannenstiel incision. Final check for hemostasis and bile leak is performed and a drain is placed adjacent to the cut surface and externalized through one of the ports.
Left Hepatectomy
Falciform Dissection andMobilization oftheLeft Lobe
Falciform dissection is similar to right hepatectomy. Additionally, the left triangular ligament is divided to mobilize the left lobe from its diaphragmatic attachments. The left lateral segment is retracted toward the patient’s right abdomen using the third arm, exposing the gastrohepatic ligament, which is divided up to the level of the left hepatic vein. The Arantius ligament courses along the groove between the left lateral segment and caudate lobe from the left portal vein to the left/middle hepatic veins. It is divided at the superior pole of the caudate lobe, providing access

to the posterior aspect of the left hepatic vein. Careful dissection in this area can enable encirclement of the middle and left hepatic veins; these veins can be divided with a stapler after the inow is taken. If encirclement is difcult, the veins can be stapled at the end of parenchymal transection.
If the caudate lobe is to be resected as well, Spiegel’s lobe is retracted with the tip of the third arm. It is mobilized from the IVC by incision of the peritoneal attach­ments and division of the hepatocaval ligament and the short hepatic veins draining the caudate directly to the IVC.
Hilar Dissection
Since the left-sided hilar structures are not covered anteriorly by the CBD, chole­cystectomy may be performed at this stage, or after completion of the liver resec­tion. The third arm is used with a gauze pad to retract segment 4B.
Dissection oftheLeft Hepatic Artery
The peritoneum over the left side of the hilum is opened and pulsation of the left hepatic artery (LHA) is located. This artery usually courses along the left side of the hilar base to the umbilical ssure and it is common for the LHA to be short, as it may divide early into the segment 4 and segment 2/3 branches. All lymphatic and nerve tissues are dissected away from the LHA, including the station 12a node, which is usually adherent to the left side of both the LHA and left portal vein (LPV). The LHA is encircled and divided between clips or ties.
If there is a replaced or accessory left hepatic artery, this is usually a branch of the left gastric artery and can be located during division of the gastrohepatic liga­ment. The branch is ligated and divided in this location.
Dissection oftheLeft Portal Vein
Division of the LHA will expose the anterior surface of the LPV.The plane between the left hepatic duct or hilar plate and superior-anterior surface of the LPV is gently

developed by pushing the portal vein posteriorly and inferiorly off the attachments. Dissection proceeds transversely along the base of segment 4B from the portal vein bifurcation until the umbilical ssure. Several small segment 4B branches from the LPV are divided in a similar manner to the caudate branches.
Attention is then moved to the dissection of the posterior LPV.The peritoneal lining the posterior aspect of the LPV is divided and retracted posterior-inferiorly by the laparoscopic assistant. The caudate branches are divided after ligation in a similar manner as the right-sided caudate branches.
Once all caudate branches are divided, the posterior LPV is then dissected off the hilar plate, moving cephalad until the dissection is met from the anterior side. Once this space is developed, the LPV is encircled and is usually long enough to be divided between large plastic clips or a stapler.
Lobe Demarcation andParenchymal Transection
ICG is used to demarcate the left lobe similar to the technique described with a right hepatectomy. Once the transection line is marked, the rubber band retraction tech­nique is used here as described above. Parenchymal transection is performed as previously described. Intervening segmental veins are encircled and divided between clips or with energy device (Fig.24.14). The caudate is transected from the right lobe if it is to be included in the specimen. If the caudate can be preserved, the transection line will change to a horizontal plane at the level of the hilum to separate the left lobe from the anterior of the caudate lobe. Once the left hepatic duct (LHD) has been divided (see below), the nal part of the parenchymal transection is com­pleted. If the middle and left hepatic veins have not been ligated prior to parenchy­mal transection, this step can be performed now with a stapling device.
Division ofLeft Hepatic Duct
The LHD is similarly identied using ICG cholangiogram (Fig.24.15). If the bile duct margin is not relevant, the LHD is usually divided adjacent to the umbilical ssure to avoid injury to aberrant right hepatic duct branches.

Pringle Maneuver
An intermittent Pringle maneuver is useful when inow control cannot be obtained prior to parenchymal transection or to reduce bleeding during parenchymal tran­section [13]. Most reports of the Pringle maneuver for minimally invasive liver surgery involve extracorporeal control of the tourniquet. In this technique, control of the Pringle maneuver in robotic surgery is in the hands of the bedside laparo­scopic assistant surgeon. One end of a long moistened umbilical tape is inserted via a 5mm laparoscopic port, leaving the other end outside the abdomen. The position of this port is usually on the opposite side of the lobe to be resected, i.e., the port is placed in the left abdomen in a right hepatic resection and vice versa. The tape is slung around the liver hilum and the end is externalized via the same port. The laparoscopic trocar is then removed and a small-bore chest tube or silas­tic catheter is slid over both strings, with the ends remaining extracorporeal. The bedside surgeon can then control the Pringle application in the style of a Rumel tourniquet.
Alternatively, intracorporeal Pringle maneuvers have been described, including applying a laparoscopic Satinsky clamp across the hilum, or leaving the ends of the tapes intracorporeal and cinching the tourniquet by inserting a large occluding clip. The Huang’s loop is another intracorporeal technique, which uses a foreshortened urinary catheter, forming a loop by pulling the tail through the side hole [14]. The loop is cinched to apply the tourniquet and then secured with a clip.
Pertinent Technical Notes forOther Types ofHepatectomy
Left Lateral Sectionectomy
Port positions are similar to left hepatectomy. Parenchymal transection is usually performed to the left of the umbilical ssure and falciform ligament. Inow control utilizes a Glissonian technique by division of the pedicles to segments 2 and 3
24 Liver Resection andBiliary Reconstruction
during parenchymal transection. The left hepatic vein can be divided between clips or with a stapler at the end of parenchymal transection (Video 2).
321
Right Posterior Sectionectomy
Port positions are moved slightly more to the right compared to a right hepatectomy. The patient should be positioned with right side up at 10–15 degrees. The falciform ligament can be looped with a suture, which is then externalized in the left abdomen and clamped to the drapes. The suture is used to retract the liver toward the patient’s left side. The right posterior pedicle is found in Rouviere’s sulcus in 70% of cases, which should be conrmed on preoperative imaging [15]. Inow control is obtained using a Glissonian technique, with dissection in this area and transection of the ped­icle using a stapling device. Demarcation with ICG can be performed to conrm isolation of the correct pedicle prior to division. The transection plane of a right posterior sectionectomy is rather long and should be in the direction of the right hepatic vein. The outow can be taken from within the parenchyma during transection.
Segment 7 Resection
Port positions and retraction of falciform ligament are similar to right posterior sectionectomy. The patient may be rotated with the right side slightly up or even in a left semi-decubitus position. The patient’s right hip may need to be lowered to prevent restriction of movement of the robotic arms. The third arm is used on seg­ment 6 to retract the right lobe toward the left.
Segment 8 Resection
Port positions are similar to right posterior sectionectomy but may need to be placed more cephalad on the abdomen. Falciform ligament retraction toward the patient’s left lower abdomen can help access to segment 8. For anatomical segment 8 resec­tion, the conuence of the right and middle hepatic veins should be clearly visual­ized and accessible.
Central Hepatectomy (Segments 4a and4b +/ 5 and8)
These types of resections involve two parenchymal transection planes, which will prolong operative time. Port positions are similar to right hepatic resection. Pedicles to segment 4 are taken on the right side of the umbilical ssure during parenchymal transection. The right anterior pedicles in segments 5 and 8 resection can be isolated using the Glissonian technique prior to parenchymal transection or located during parenchymal transection. If the tumor is not close to the hilar area, it is best to avoid transecting down to the hilum (as long as margins are adequate) to prevent injury to the bifurcation of the bile duct or portal vein.

Robotic Biliary Reconstruction

Biliary reconstruction, particularly anastomosis of the intra- or extrahepatic bile ducts to the gastrointestinal tract, is commonly indicated in resection of choledochal cysts, repair of bile duct injury, resection of bile duct tumors, and palliative bypass.
322
Flexibility of the robotic platform enables anastomosis of even small segmental ducts to the jejunum. ICG cholangiogram on Firey™ mode can be used to high­light the biliary anatomy. One of the largest series of robotic choledochal cyst exci­sion in adults demonstrated that robotic surgery had longer operative times but lower complications compared to laparoscopic approaches [16]. Similarly for bili­ary reconstruction after bile duct injury, the robotic approach was associated with comparable morbidity to laparoscopic surgery but a higher primary patency rate of the hepaticojejunostomy anastomosis, though this did not reach statistical signi­cance [17].

Patient Positioning, Port Placement, andRobotic Instruments
Positioning, port placement, and instrumentation are described above throughout the hepatectomy section. ICG is injected intravenously in the preoperative setting at least 30minutes prior to incision to enable drainage into the biliary tract by the time cholangiogram is performed.
Delineation ofAnatomy andResection or Division ofBile Duct
The third arm is used with a gauze pad to retract segment 4B exposing the hilum.
Choledochal Cyst
For excision of the choledochal cyst, the right and left margins of the cyst are dis­sected from the hilar tissues proceeding toward the duodenum. In the majority of cases, the inferior extent of the cyst usually lies within the pancreatic head. This part is carefully dissected to avoid injury to the pancreatic parenchyma; small vessels are transected with an energy device. Once the inferior extent of the cyst is reached, it is transected between clips or with a staple. The inferior end is then retracted supe­riorly, and the posterior wall of the cyst is mobilized. The RHA is visualized cross­ing posterior to the CHD (conventional anatomy) and preserved. The gallbladder is taken down from the liver bed and cystic artery divided between clips. The gallblad­der can be left attached to the cyst via the cystic duct. The common hepatic duct is divided and the specimen is retrieved with a plastic bag at the end of the procedure.
Bile Duct Injury
In-depth discussion of the type and timing of bile duct repair is beyond the scope of this chapter. Principles of operative repair of bile duct injury are (1) delineation of anatomy of the biliary and vascular system (both pre- and intraoperatively), (2) drainage of biloma, (3) debridement to healthy bile duct tissue, and (4) biliary reconstruction.
At the beginning of these cases, lysis of adhesions is commonly required, and any bile collections are drained. ICG cholangiogram is performed to conrm the anatomy of bile duct injury. This can be supplemented by conventional catheter
