10.2 Basic liver anatomy
10.2.1 Hepatic division
In the 1950s, Couinaud [2] and Healey and Schroy [10] independently advocated two nomenclature systems for hepatic division based on the results of corrosion cast analyses (Figure 10.1). Both systems are widely accepted throughout the world, each dividing the liver into three levels. Couinaud’s levels are (1) hemi-liver, (2) sector, and (3) segment, while Healey defined the levels as (1) lobe, (2) segment, and (3) area. The caudate lobe as defined by Healey corresponds to Couinaud’s segment I, and Healey subdivided segment IV into the medial superior and inferior areas [11].
Although there are some inconsistencies between the two systems, surgeons have used either or both in their clinical practice. However, Couinaud’s nomenclature, based on the intrahepatic portal and hepatic venous system, is more widely accepted in liver surgery today.
In Couinaud’s nomenclature, the liver is divided into right and left hemi-liver along the middle hepatic vein (MHV) (corresponding to the RexCantlie line). Each hemi-liver is subdivided into two sectors by the right hepatic vein (RHV) and left hepatic vein (LHV) (right/ left lateral and paramedian sectors), respectively. Each sector (excluding the left lateral sector) is further sub­divided into two segments, so that the overall number of
Relevant hepatobiliary anatomy 149
segments for the total liver is an eight-segment sub­division, including the caudate lobe (segments IVIII), according to the third-order branches of the intrahepatic portal pedicles. The liver segments are denoted in a clockwise fashion by Roman numerals, starting from the caudate lobe as segment I. Interestingly, this clockwise designation is numbered similarly to the administrative districts (arrondisements) of Paris.
In Healey’s nomenclature, Couinaud’s hemi-livers cor­respond to lobes, sectors become segments, and segments become areas. The conceptual difference between the two nomenclature systems lies in the left side of the liver. Couinaud divided the left portal vein into an umbilical portion and a segment II branch. Consequently, the left hemi-liver was divided into the left paramedian sector (Couinaud’s segments III and IV) and the lateral sector (segmentII). Healey divided the left hepaticartery and bile duct into lateral and medial branches, causing the left lobe to be divided into the lateral segment (segments II and III) and the medial segment (segment IV). The fact that the term “segment” is used in both concepts, but indicates different parts of the liver, has created confusion [11].
From an embryological perspective, Couinaud’s division is more accurate than Healey’s [12]. In human embryos (Figure 10.2), the right and left hemi-livers emerge simul­taneously, and the umbilical vein connects equally to the right and left portal veins. In the fifth week of gestation, the umbilical vein feeding the right liver obliterates while the vein feeding the left liver remains. This leads to an increase in the left liver volume. On closure of the umbilical vein after birth, the left liver gradually shrinks, triggering growth of the right liver. This process of development indicates that the right and left livers fundamentally share the same formation pathway and anatomy.
In Couinaud’sdefinition, the right and left lateral sectors share the same anatomical features of receiving the first major branch from the right and left portal veins, of having a main hepatic vein at their medial sides, and of having a main portal pedicle at the center of the territory. Therefore, treating segment IV as an independent sector, as suggested by those who prefer the Healey nomencla­ture, primarily American surgeons, could be considered to be anatomically inaccurate. As we are striving for greater accuracy, it is believed by many that the use of the Healey nomenclature to describe anatomical land­marks of the liver should be abandoned.
From a surgical viewpoint, a left paramedian sector­iectomy (e.g. segment III and IV) [13] can be performed

similarly to a ri ght paramedian sectoriectomy (e.g. resection of segments V and VIII) [14], with the LHV or RHV running on the resected surface. In practice, however, surgeons’ preference and a greater relevance for the encountered clinical scenar ios mean that lateral (e.g. segment II and III) or medial segmentectomy (segmentectomy IV) is routinely performed in cli nical practice today. Recently, the Hjortsjo’s divi sion of the right paramedian sector into the ventral a nd dorsal segments, which is clinically highly relevant, has been proposed [15,16].
In 2000, a committee of the International Hepato­Pancreatico-Biliary Association proposed the first univer­sal terminology for liver anatomy and resection (the Brisbane 2000 Nomenclature) [17]. This classification system aimed to simplify the descriptions of different types of resections according to anatomically relevant structures. In this system, the anatomical terms for parts of the liver (hemi-liver, section, and segment) correspond to the terms used to describe hepatic resection (hemi­hepatectomy, sectionectomy, and segmentectomy), using Couinaud’s segmental reference as the preferential anatomical source reference (segments IVIII). The watersheds for the first-order, second-order, and third­order divisions are referred to as the midplane, the right and left intersectional planes, and the intersegmental planes, respectively. As a result, the Brisbane system is based on the anatomy described by Couinaud but changes the terminology (from sector to section), except for divi­sion of the left liver, and defines en bloc resection of segments II and III as a lateral sectionectomy [18]. Recently, Strasberg [19] evaluated the global dissemina­tion of the terminology 10 years after its introduction and found that use of the Brisbane terms “hemihepatectomy”
and “sectionectomy” has increased dramatically in com­parison with the discarded term “lobectomy,” especially in America and Asia.
10.2.2 Portal vein
Of the vessels related to the liver, the portal venous system is the most easily identifiable on imaging and is therefore a good surgical landmark. The first-order branches of the portal vein include the right and left main branches; the second-order branches include the right anterior and poste­rior sectoral branches, left umbilical branch, and caudate (segment I) branch; and the third-order branches include thesegmental (segments II–VIII)branches(Figure 10.3) [20]. Third-order branches are named after the major f eed­ing area in the segmental domain (i.e. P8v is the Portal pedicle of segment VIII for the ventral portion) [3,11].
Portalmapping facilitatesthesurgeon’sunderstandingof the segmental anatomy in each patient; all portal venous branches and hepatic veins can be traced by ultrasound mapping of the portal venous branches. In addition to mapping intrahepatic vessels, a precise understanding of the relationship between target tumor and related intra­hepatic vessels is of critical surgical importance, especially when anatomical segmentectomies are performed [21].
10.2.3 Hepatic vein
The hepatic venous system consists of the three main hepatic veins (RHV, MHV, and LHV), which run along the right, main, and left portal fissures, respectively (Figure 10.4). In addition, the umbilical fissure vein runs along the umbilical fissure between the LHV and MHV, and the anterior fissure vein runs along the anterior fissure between the MHV and RHV. The drainage of these veinshas several possible variations, in whichthe umbilical

fissure vein joins the LHV (90%), the MHV (7%) or the bifurcation of both veins (3%). Likewise, the junctures of the anteriorfissurevein may includea junctureat the MHV (91%), RHV or inferior vena cava (IVC) (9%). There are accessoryveins, such as the inferior RHV draining segment VI and the short hepatic vein draining segment I [22].
The hepatic veins are a crucial element that must be understood in order to perform anatomical liver resection and partial liver transplantation. The major hepatic veins represent a good landmark in resection and are, when damaged or resected, a source of congestion and subse­quent atrophy of the graft.
10.3 Anatomy for hemihepatectomy
10.3.1 Hilar vessels and hepatic vein
The hepatic hilus consists of the hilar plate above the hepatic confluence, portal vein, hepatic artery, and bile duct (Figure
10.5). The umbilical portion of the left portal vein is located at the left distal end of the hilus, and the gallbladder covers the right distal end of the hilus with serosa [23].
The portal vein runs along the right back side of the proper hepatic artery and the back side of the
hepatoduodenal ligament. The right portal vein usually bifurcates into anterior and posterior branches at Rou­viere’s sulcus. The left hepatic artery enters the liver through the left part of Rex’s recessus, and the right hepatic artery bifurcates into an anterior branch which runs between the bile duct and the portal vein, and a posterior branch which runs caudally and enters the liver. The left bile duct is formed just above the left portal vein by the junction of the medial and lateral ducts. The right anterior bile duct lies on the right anterior portal vein and comes down to join with the right posterior bile duct [23].
10.3.1.1 Portal vein
At the hepatic hilus, the main portal trunk bifurcates into left and right portal veins. The left portal vein runs horizontally and then vertically with formation of the umbilical portion after giving off the portal vein branch to segment II (P2). A few branches run dorsally from the horizontal portion of the left portal vein to the caudate lobe. In contrast, the right portal vein has three ramifica­tion patterns (Figure 10.6):
• common type (86%), forming a long right portal vein
• posterior type (7%), in which the posterior branch
arises directly from the main portal trunk
• trifurcation type (6%), in which the left, anterior, and
posterior branches arise from the same point [24].

plate, including three vessels. Numbers refer to Couinaud’s segments. BD, bile duct; LHA, left hepatic artery; MHA, middle hepatic artery; PV, portal vein; RHA, right hepatic artery.
10.3.1.2 Hepatic artery
The ramification of the hepatic artery is classified into five patterns, including (i) common type (76%); (ii) replaced left hepatic artery (12%)arising from the left gastricartery; and (iii) replaced right hepatic artery (11%) originating from the superior mesenteric artery (Figure 10.7) [25]. In patients with the third pattern, surgeons need to be careful when the right (or posterior) hepatic artery runs behind the portal trunk, especially when performing a right hemi­hepatectomy. The frequency of a type (iv) pattern with double replaced left and right hepatic arteries arising from the left gastric and superior mesenteric arteries, and type (v), with replacedcommon hepaticarterydevelopingas an independent branch of the superior mesenteric artery, is very low.
10.3.1.3 Bile duct
The bile duct in the right hemi-liver is classified into three types: (i) supraportal type (71%), in which the right posterior duct runs behind the portal vein and joins the anterior duct at the cranial side; (ii) supraportal type

to avoid injury at the level of the hilus (Figure 10.9). type (12%), in which the right posterior duct runs caudal to the portal vein and joins the anterior duct at the caudal side (Figure 10.8) [26]. As for the bile duct in the left hemi-liver, there are three types: (i) B2/B3 common type (50%), in which B2 and B3 join to the left of the umbilical portion to form the common duct, which is joined by B4; (ii) B3/B4 common type (29%), in which B3 and B4 join to the right of the umbilical portion, which is joined by B2; and (iii) confluence type (13%), in which B2, B3, and B4 join at the same point [27]. The relationship between bile ducts and portal veins can be confusing, because the bile ducts and portal veins do not run parallel at the hepatic hilus. Therefore, three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) reconstruction images at the confluence of the posterior bile duct or left segmental
10.3.1.4 Hepatic vein
In hemihepatectomy, surgeons have to understand the
precise anatomy of tributaries of the MHV because in true
anatomical resection, the trunk needs to be exposed on
the resected surface (Figure 10.10). The MHV has three
distinct venous branches draining the anterior segment:
V5v (for ventral segment V), V8v (for ventral segment
VIII), and the anterior fissure vein. The MHV has two
venous branches draining segment IV: V4a (for inferior
segment IV) and V4b (for superior segment IV). V5v joins
V4a and forms the main trunk of MHV, and V8v and V4b
join MHV at the terminal portion. The anterior fissure
vein usually joins the MHV but sometimes joins the RHV
(6%) or IVC (2%). On the other hand, V4b joins the LHV

(57%) or MHV (43%) [22]. Accessory hepatic veins such as the inferior RHV draining segment VI can be present (27%), requiring that surgeons exercise caution in mobi­lization of the right hemi-liver.
In hemihepatectomy by an anterior approach using a hanging maneuver [28], surgeons insert a pair of forceps into the potential space between the retrohepatic IVC and the liver. To identify a longitudinal avascular virtual plane, Hirai et al. [29] have defined three insertion courses: rightward, intermediate, and leftward. They recommend that in patients without an inferior RHV, the rightward course is the best approach, less frequently damaging the caudate vein. However, changing from a leftward to rightward approach to the retrohepatic space is required in patients with an inferior RHV.
10.3.2 Pericaval ligament
10.3.2.1 Inferior vena cava ligament
This ligament is a fibrous membrane around the IVC and attaches to the RHV and LHV at the cranial end. Division makes it possible to expose the insertions of the RHV and LHV to the IVC [30]. The attachment between the ligament and IVC is usually loose, and its mean length and width are 17 mm and 15 mm, respec­tively [31]. Therefore, when s eparating the IVC liga­ment, it is easier and safer to insert the forceps from the caudal to cranial side. The lymphatic vessels in the ligament are abundant and should be ligated and divided to prevent postoperative lymphorrhea, espe­cially in patients who have cirrhosis or those under­going liver transplantation.

10.3.2.2 Arantius’ ligament
During the embryonic period, this ligament is a bypass between the umbilical portion of the left portal vein and the IVC and runs from the ventral side of the umbilical portion to the confluence of the LHV into the IVC (or
directly connects to the IVC). The round ligament, umbil­ical portion, and Arantius’ ligament line up on a straight line. Arantius’ ligament is on the fossa between the left side of the caudate lobe and the left hemi-liver (fossa ductus venosi) and is attached to the surface of the liver.

Arantius’ ligament can be found as a band structure on the anterior surface of the caudate lobe, and its junctions must be divided to mobilize the caudate lobe.
10.3.3 Landmarks for surgeons
In hemihepatectomies, hepatic parenchymal transec­tion [32] should be carried out along the demarcation line, which can be obtained by extrahepatic ligation of the hepatic artery and portal vein. To minimize hemorrhage and avoid transfusion [33] during transection it is impor­tant to confirm the branches of the MHV preoperatively, for which 3D imaging modalities such as CT-based simu­lation are useful [34].

10.3.3.1 Right hemihepatectomy
Anatomical resection requires complete exposure of the MHV, running along the midplane of the liver (Figure
10.11). At the initial stage of transection, the surgeon will seek and trace the tributary of the MHV (V5v) to reach the trunk of the MHV. Transection advances cranially with division of other tributaries (V8v, AFV) up to the caval insertion. At the hepatic hilum, the surgeon must be aware of the ramification pattern of the vessels to prevent injury to the anomalous hepatic artery and bile duct.
10.3.3.2 Left hemihepatectomy
Since the surgical landmark is again the MHV (Figure
10.12), the surgeon will trace the tributary of the MHV (V4a) to reach the trunk of the MHV. Transection advan­ces cranially with division of other tributaries (V4b, occa­sionally the umbilical fissure vein) up to the caval
