From: Reconstruction of the middle hepatic vein using a vein graft from the resected portion of the liver
Schematic diagram of the operation: a shows the location to remove MHV and RPV. b Shows the way to reconstruct MHV and RPV. The left hepatic vein was used for reconstruction of the middle hepatic vein, because it was far away from the tumor which ensured the R0 resection of the tumor and the entirety of hepatic blood inflow and outflow. MHV middle hepatic vein, LHV left hepatic vein, RPV right portal vein
