Abstract
Carcinoma arising at the confluence of the hepatic duct with predominant right hepatic duct involvement often demands extended right hepatic lobectomy combined with caudal lobectomy. To avoid postoperative hepatic failure, we always adopt right portal vein embolization, preserving the upper part of the medial segment (SIVb), and freeing the caudate lobe only from the right side (never mobilizing the lateral segment) for patients who undergo extended right hepatic lobectomy.
