Abstract: Objective: The liver hanging maneuver (LHM) is rarely applied in laparoscopic right hepatectomy (LRH) because of the difficulty encountered in retrohepatic tunnel (RT) dissection and tape positioning. Thus far no report has detailed how to quickly and easily establish RT for laparoscopic LHM in LRH, nor has employment of the goldfinger dissector to create a total RT been reported. This study’s aim was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of establishing RT for laparoscopic LHM using the goldfinger dissector in LRH. Methods: Between March 2015 and July 2015, five consecutive patients underwent LRH via the caudal approach with laparoscopic LHM. A five-step strategy using the goldfinger dissector to establish RT for laparoscopic LHM was adopted. Perioperative data were analyzed. Results: The median age of patients was 58 (range, 51–65) years. Surgery was performed for one intrahepatic lithiasis and four hepatocellular carcinomas with a median size of 90 (40–150) mm. The median operative time was 320 (282–358) min with a median blood loss of 200 (200–600) ml. Laparoscopic LHM was achieved in a median of 31 (21–62) min, and the median postoperative hospital stay was 14 (9–16) d. No transfusion or conversion was required, and no severe liver-related morbidity or death was observed. Conclusions: The goldfinger dissector is a useful instrument for the establishment of RT. A five-step strategy using the goldfinger dissector can quickly and easily facilitate an RT for a laparoscopic LHM in LRH.
