|
Ex situ resection and hepatic auto-transplantation as devised by Pichlmayr may be an answer for a lesion that has close proximity to or has invade the major hepatic veins. We report here on a 31-year-old female patient with a leiomyosarcoma extending from the suprahepatic vena cava to the bifurcation of the common iliac vein, and this tumor was deemed not accessible by the conventional in situ surgical techniques. The liver and retrohepatic inferior vena cava was removed en bloc and taken to the back-table where the neoplasm invading the cava wall was removed together with the inferior vena cava. The inferior vena cava was then replaced by a 26- mm Dacron graft proximally and a 20-mm ringed polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft distally, and the outflows of the liver was reconstructed to a single opening with using longitudinallyopened autogenous great saphenous vein fencing. The liver was then autotransplanted by the Piggyback technique. Both renal veins were not reconstructed because both gonadal veins were preserved during the operation. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient is in good health until now.
