A, Computed tomography (CT) scan showing a sizable mass (arrow) in the right lobe of the liver. B, A 2.0 cm × 1.5 cm satellite lesion (arrow) situated in sIII. C, Occlusion of the right portal vein and the transection plane (arrow) after PVE and PMA. D, PMA transection plane (A); parenchymal transection line (B), as planned lateral to PMA plane. E, PMA transection plane (arrow) with minimal adhesion found intraoperatively. F, Completed right trisectionectomy and excision of the sIII lesion. G, CT scan confirming FLR hypertrophy on postoperative day 7. PVE indicates portal vein embolization.
