Abstract
A procedure of tape-guided living donor left hepatectomy is described. A tape was placed along the anterior wall of the inferior vena cava for left liver with caudate lobe, and along Arantius' ligament for left liver without caudate lobe. The final step of liver transection was applied by dividing the liver parenchyma under tape guidance. This procedure contributed to safe and accurate anatomic procurement of left liver grafts in living donor hepatectomy.Entities:
