linked to advanced age, denervation (shingles, polio), or chronic illness. Posterior surgical approaches to kidney and adrenal, spine, and aortic surgery may lead to true incisional ank hernias or cause eventration from denervation. Patients with dener­vation injuries should be appropriately counseled preoperatively about the change that even after repair, there will be some residual bulging in their ank.
3.4.4 Presentation andRadiology
The most commonly presenting symptoms of lumbar hernias are bulge and pain. Valsalva and spine exion may help reveal a lumbar hernia on a clinical exam. Being a rare clinical entity, lower back pain in these patients will often be attributed to musculoskeletal or spine pathology, and bulging on a physical exam can be con­fused with a soft tissue mass. Direct contact with the 12th rib and ballooning of overlying latissimus dorsi are pathognomonic for a superior lumbar hernia, while an inferior lumbar hernia directly contacts the iliac crest and has no overlying latissi­mus muscle.
Point of care dynamic sonography with a 12-MHz linear probe can be useful in experienced hands, but the gold standard of lumbar and ank hernia imaging remains computed tomography. Disruption of myofascial layers will be evident in true hernias (as opposed to eventration) (Figs.2 and 3), particularly compared with the contralateral intact side. Cross-sectional imaging should be used liberally for preoperative planning. A non-contrast CT scan will comprehensively describe the hernia morphology and dimensions, adjacent critical structures, estimate the vol­ume of herniated content and presence of loss of domain (LOD), identify concomi­tant remote fascial defects, thickness of preperitoneal plane, adhesions, old mesh, the necessary extent of mesh overlap and xation. Physical exam adds invaluable information supplementing cross-sectional anatomy, such as the incarceration of

hernia content, compliance of the abdominal wall, presence of an atrophic scar that might need excision, and other potential soft tissue work. It is important to remem­ber that lateral hernias, particularly originating from oblique or transverse incisions (such as Chevron), often appear on axial CT sections more challenging in terms of approximation of fascial edges, but intraoperatively can be closed without excessive tension in the transverse direction.
The combination of the factors listed above help to determine the nal surgical plan, whether it is purely minimally-invasive repair, hybrid approach, or open.
3.5 Operative Approaches
3.5.1 Minimally Invasive Approach
Patient Positioning
Patients are placed in a semi-lateral decubitus position with various degrees of axial bed tilt (Fig.4). Knees are exed and separated by pillows. Thighs, legs and chest straps are used. A vacuum bean bag may be helpful for securing the intended posi­tion. Both arms are exed and separated by pillows, with elbows slightly exed as well and strapped to the exed upward armrest with gauze roll and tape. An axillary roll is used. We don’t recommend exing (breaking) the OR table at the level of patient hip as it increases the distance between iliac crest and costal margin, making fascial approximation more difcult. However, a kidney rest may be helpful. All bony prominences should be padded. The entire abdomen (table to table) should be prepped, paying particular attention to prep the back well beyond the hernia extent if hybrid repair will be necessary. Adhesive antimicrobial drapes such as Ioban™ may be considered.

Approach
The most commonly used minimally invasive approaches to repair ank hernias are the transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair or the enhanced totally extraperito­neal (eTEP) repair. The choice of access depends on anticipation of extensive intra­abdominal adhesions and quality of peritoneum. The most thin and vulnerable peritoneum with minimum preperitoneal fat typically covers the posterior rectus sheath, and the layer of preperitoneal fat becomes thicker lateral to the semilunar line. If intended mesh overlap does not need to cross linea semilunaris, the TAPP may be a reasonable and easily reproducible approach.
In our practice, as with many others, these operations are done on the robotic platform, which provides superior visualization, precise dissection and enhanced wrist articulation compared to laparoscopy.
Robotic Transabdominal Preperitoneal Repair (TAPP)
Once the patient has been positioned and prepped as above, our preference is to enter with a cut down at the umbilicus and place an 8mm port. Two 8mm ports are then placed above and below the umbilicus, either through or just lateral to the mid­line. The robotic platform is docked. The defect is visualized and fully reduced. To start the dissection, the peritoneum is incised at least 5cm medial to the defect. As the dissection is carried out laterally, the colon is mobilized from a lateral to medial direction. This dissection is carried out to the posterior pararenal space leaving the quadratus lumborum covered by an anterior leaet of thoracolumbar fascia, until the medial border of the psoas is reached. Care should be taken to identify and pro­tect the ureter and gonadal vessels, which run along the medial border of the psoas. The ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric, genitofemoral and lateral femoral cutaneous nerves will be running along the QL and psoas and should be left in their investing

fascia. Superiorly, the preperitoneal dissection is carried to below the costal margin. Inferiorly, the dissection enters the space of Retzius and Cooper’s ligament and the iliopubic tract are identied. Once a sufcient pocket is created, a mesh is placed in the preperitoneal space; it should drape across the psoas. Our preference is to secure it sparingly with interrupted vicryl sutures to the lateral abdominal wall as well as brin sealant. In general, the viscera will act to hold the mesh in place in this loca­tion, and one must be careful to avoid nerve entrapment with xation. A drain is not usually used. The peritoneum is then closed over the mesh, and any defects in the peritoneum closed to prevent internal herniation.
Robotic eTEP/Tranvsersus Abdominis Release (TAR)
A robotic eTEP/TAR procedure is a good choice for a ank hernia that extends into either the rectus abdominis compartment or has an associated midline hernia com­ponent. A 5mm optical trocar is used to enter the contralateral retro rectus space. Blunt dissection is used to complete the retro-rectus dissection and two other 8mm robotic ports are placed in the contralateral retro rectus space, just medial to the semilunar line. The 5mm optical trocar port is upsized to a robotic 8mm port and the robot docked. The posterior sheath is incised just medial to the linea alba until the preperitoneal fat is identied. The preperitoneal space is bluntly dissected until the ipsilateral (side with the hernia) posterior sheath is identied. This is incised, exposing the underlying rectus abdominis muscle (“cross-over maneuver”). This incision is expanded in the cranial and caudal directions. The retro-rectus space is then dissected superiorly to the sub-xyphoid space, inferiorly into the space of Retzius, and laterally to the semilunar line. It is important to identify and preserve the neurovascular bundles that pierce the posterior rectus sheath just medially to the semilunar line. Once the retro-rectus dissection is complete, the transversus abdom­inis release is begun. The posterior sheath is incised just medial to the semilunar line, exposing the underlying transversus abdominis (TA) muscle. This is easiest at the costal margin, where the transversus abdominis muscle is most medial and eas­ily identiable. The TA muscle is exposed and transected from the costal margin to the arcuate line. Using a combination of blunt dissection and electrocautery, the space between the TA muscle and its underlying transversalis fascia is created. This plane is extended posteriorly laterally into the retroperitoneum up to the medial border of the psoas. Just as with the TAPP dissection, the critical structures of the retroperitoneum, including the ureter and various neurovascular structures, must be identied and preserved. Once the dissection is complete, the defect is closed with a running barbed suture. A mesh is placed in the retroperitoneum and secured spar­ingly with vicryl sutures to the lateral abdominal wall as well as brin sealant. For larger ank hernias, we prefer to use a heavyweight polypropylene mesh. The peri­toneum is then closed over the mesh and all associated defects closed as well. When the patient is rolled into the supine position the viscera will hold the mesh in place as well. Depending on the size of the defects, patients can either go home the same day or be admitted for pain control.

Open
Patients are placed supine within a decubitus or semi-lateral position. If a patient has a previous ank incision, the previous incision is opened. Otherwise, a trans­verse incision is made 2–3 cm cephalad to the ASIS.Dissection is taken down through the skin and soft tissue to the external oblique, which is frequently intact in these types of hernias. It is incised in the direction of its bers to reveal the underly­ing hernia. If there is a hernia sac it is sharply entered and all contents reduced. A localized lysis of adhesions is performed. With the surgeon facing the lateral abdominal wall, the preperitoneal plane is entered and the dissection taken postero­laterally into the retroperitoneum until the medial border of the psoas is identied. This blunt dissection is carried superiorly below the costal margin and inferiorly to enter the Space of Retzius. In a male the spermatic cord is identied and preserved, while in a female the round ligament is ligated to create a more contiguous space for the mesh. The surgeon then stands on the opposite side of the table. The medial dis­section is the most difcult portion of this case, because the peritoneum is very thin overlying the rectus muscle. If possible, the preperitoneal dissection is continued medially towards the linea alba. If the peritoneum becomes too thin, ideally transi­tion into the pretransversalis plane is preferred to completing a “reverse TAR”, which is technically very difcult and carries a high risk of injury to the neurovas­cular bundles. Once a large enough ap is created, the posterior sheath and all asso­ciated defects are closed. Our preference is to use a heavyweight polypropylene mesh in this space; it should lay well below the costal margin superiorly and into the space of Retzius inferiorly. We prefer xation with brin sealant rather than sutures for this repair. A drain can be placed atop the mesh. The layers of the abdominal wall are then closed in layers using a #1 slowly absorbable suture. A binder is encouraged after the surgery. Patients are admitted for pain control.
Hybrid Approach
There are situations when it may be challenging to reach the posterior pararenal space via an MIS approach, for instance, when the trocars have to be placed through the rectus contralateral to the hernia. This may be needed with the eTEP approach to address a midline hernia component as well as a lateral ank hernia. In these instances, to avoid placing an additional set of more lateral trocars and redocking, most posterior dissection can be accomplished by making a limited incision over the posterior extent of ank hernia. Fascial closure starts via the MIS approach in the medial to lateral direction and is continued in the open fashion after mesh is unrolled to the psoas muscle.

Outcomes
Due to the rarity of true lumbar hernias, reported data on outcomes of surgical repair is scarce. In open series, recurrence rate is quoted as high as 16%, while in an MIS series the recurrence rate is 3% [11]. Similar to other types of herniorrhaphies, MIS lumbar hernia repairs also achieve shorter lengths of hospitalization and lower over­all rate of complications [11, 12]. In a recent database study comparing open to robotic ank hernia repairs, Pereira etal. found a reduced length of stay and post­operative complications associated with a robotic repair, although the robotic repairs did take longer [12].
4 Conclusions
Flank hernias are rare entities which require thoughtful pre-operative planning with cross-sectional imaging and excellent understanding of anatomy. Proper patient positioning is important and the hybrid approach is often necessary. Lumbar hernias share the same principles of repair as other off-midline hernias and extensive sublay mesh overlap for visceral sac reinforcement is the key for durable repair.

1 Introduction
Hepatectomy is often the only potential for cure for patients with hepatobiliary malignancies, may prevent malignant transformation for those with premalignan­cies, or provide symptomatic relief for patients with benign lesions. With an increase in rates of hepatectomy over the years [1], the performance of safe and efcient liver-related procedures is of utmost importance. A critical aspect of operative safety is preoperative preparation, mastery of hepatobiliary anatomy, patient medi­cal optimization, and an absolute understanding of the pathology being addressed with hepatectomy [24]. In this chapter, we describe and illustrate the overall per­formance of foundational liver surgery techniques that should be helpful for training and practicing liver surgeons.
2 Incision andExposure
Incision and exposure are critical for liver operations. The modied Makuuchi inci­sion provides wide exposure and view of important structures in the right and left liver (Fig.1a) [5]. Other benets of this incision are it does not violate the intercos­tal nerves by remaining within dermatomal distributions, decreasing post-operative pain and muscle atrophy. Optimal exposure can be achieved by strategically placing

the retractors (Fig. 1b) [5]. It is critical to recognize that adequate exposure is required for safe hepatectomy, and inadequate exposure is often a component of intraoperative complications and difculty with steps of hepatic procedures.
3 Intraoperative Ultrasound
Methodological understanding and consistent use of intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) is critical for hepatobiliary surgeons to examine intrahepatic anatomy, plan surgical margins, and create an intraoperative map of the liver that matches preop­erative imaging. Initial IOUS steps are aimed at orientation with the intrahepatic anatomy through placing the ultrasound probe at 4 cardinal positions. Then, we use the ultrasound not only to locate existing lesions known from preoperative imaging, but also to look for radiologically occult lesions that may change operative plans. It is essential to differentiate between portal triads and hepatic veins while using IOUS; portal triads are encased with a hyperechoic sheath that is not present for hepatic veins (Figs.2 and 3).
(a) Position 1: the IOUS probe is placed on the anterior surface of segment VIII of
the liver. With careful rotation and translocation, the hepatic veins are identied as they converge into the inferior vena cava (Fig.2).
(b) Position 2: Once the hepatic veins are identied in position 1, the probe is
rotated or translocated caudad to identify the right anterior and posterior portal vein branches, and their anatomical location relative to the right and middle hepatic veins (Fig.3).
(c) Position 3: after identifying the right anterior and posterior portal veins, the
ultrasound probe is translocated along the course of the right portal vein to identify the portal vein bifurcation (Fig.4).
