The last of these barriers alone has prevented many laparoscopic liver surgeries from being performed. This result is not surprising, because many open liver surgeries are also very difficult to perform.
Liver surgery is so difficult that once the liver is cut off from blood flow, it will cause irreversible damage to the liver. The dream of hepatobiliary surgeons is to remove the tumor without cutting off the liver or losing blood. It sounds like a fantasy, but surgeons have been working hard to find a perfect solution. They have even tried to remove the entire liver like a liver transplant, perform hypothermic perfusion, and then remove the tumor.
So far, various liver surgical methods have not reached perfection, which shows how difficult it is for surgeons to operate on the liver, a human organ.
The fact that this surgery can be performed laparoscopically today must have its own characteristics.
Doctors He and Gong on the operating table started discussing among themselves:
"The tumor is not big, but it is located too deep, close to the inferior vena cava."
"The CT scan shows no invasion of the inferior vena cava, but who knows if there is any."
Imaging examinations cannot represent the final results. As always, the surgeon must confirm it in person in the patient's abdominal cavity. Laparoscopy has shown unique advantages in this small tumor resection. It does not require laparotomy and causes less damage. It can be directly inserted into the deep part of the lesion to magnify it. It is like inserting a thin needle with a magnifying glass to make the lesion more clearly visible.
The surgeons first carefully freed the liver, observed the surrounding organs, blood vessels, lymph nodes, etc., and then went all the way to the tumor location.

...
The location of the tumor shown on the monitor was not referenced by the patient's medical records, so Xie Wanying could only judge it to be the left caudate lobe of the liver based on the teacher's previous conversation. The surgeon's words immediately confirmed her guess.
"It's in the left caudate lobe. Fortunately, the tumor volume is 6, not much bigger than the CT result. We can do it." The surgeon did not say anything, but He Guangyou, the assistant, said with relief first.
Gong Xiangbin, who was standing opposite him, suddenly shrugged at him: Did you notice the pair of eyes behind you?
There were two eyes behind them, observing their every move like a microscope, which made people feel a little nervous.
It was Xie Wanying. He Guangyou raised his eyebrows behind his mask. Gong Xiangbin was not like him and Tao Zhijie. He had never met her before and did not know her eccentricity. Geniuses all have eccentric personalities. But Xie Wanying's eccentricity was different from that of other geniuses.
What Gong Xiangbin wanted to say to his colleagues was: The way she stared at him was a bit like a big boss, super detailed and super focused.
Soon, the two of them didn't dare to think about anything else. Tao Zhijie suddenly stopped and called out, "You do the removal."
The person called is Xiao Song, Song Xuelin who just arrived today.
The operating room suddenly became like a bow with a fully drawn string, going from being a little cautious and meticulous to suddenly becoming very tense.
The anesthesiologist and the nurse saw that Song Xuelin looked unfamiliar and could tell that he was a newcomer.
If a complete novice is suddenly called to the operating table, there can be only two results. One is that the operation is successful and lives up to everyone's expectations, and the other is that it fails. The worst thing is that the novice will suffer and the operation time may be delayed.
The anesthesiologist looked up at the clock, as if he was going to stand up to adjust the anesthesia. However, he did not stand up, but looked back at Tao Zhijie's expression.
It should be said that he trusted Tao Zhijie's ability to judge newcomers, so there was no need for special preparation.
