Evaluation of intrahepatic, extra-Glissonian stapling of the right porta hepatis vs. classical extrahepatic dissection during right hepatectomy

In selected patients, intrahepatic, extra-Glissonian stapled right hepatectomy is feasible, safe and avoids the need for EHD. The anterior approach to right hepatectomy may achieve outcomes at least as good as those associated with the classical extrahepatic approach.
