Right hepatic lobe living donation: A 12 years single Italian center experience

Figure 3 A large accessory hepatic vein draining the right lobe along with the right hepatic vein is encircled using a vessel loop (A). The measurement of the accessory hepatic vein [major of 5 mm, (B)] was performed for decision making to transect it with a vascular stapler, only when transections of liver parenchyma and of the structures of hepatic pedicle were almost complete.
