Caudal approach to pure laparoscopic posterior sectionectomy under the laparoscopy-specific view

Figure 3 Computed tomography scan findings. A 63-year-old woman with a 1.5 cm metachronous colorectal liver metastasis in the segment 6 close to the right hepatic vein underwent adjuvant chemotherapy after open colorectal surgery and her liver had severe fatty change. Therefore, posterior sectionectomy was applied to her lesion, not right hepatectomy. However, since the lesion is close to the right hepatic vein (RHV), RHV exposure was required for R0 resection.
