Intrahepatic Glissonean Approach for Robotic Anatomical Liver Resection of Segment 7 Using the Saline-Linked Monopolar Cautery Scissors (SLiC-Scissors) Method: A Technical Case Report With Videos

Anatomical hepatectomy of segment 7 (S7) is technically difficult due to its difficult accessibility. Here, we present our experience of robotic anatomical S7 subsectionectomy of the liver employing the saline-linked cautery scissors (SLiC-Scissors) technique. After the right lobe was fully mobilized, dissection of the Glissonean pedicle and hepatic venous branch of S7, as well as the liver parenchymal transection, were safely performed using the SLiC-Scissors method. Despite its technological complexity, the intrahepatic Glissonean approach for robotic anatomical S7 subsectionectomy of the liver employing the SLiC scissors method is safe and efficient.
