New Liver Anatomy
Portal Segmentation and the Drainage Vein

▶ This book clarifies the true liver anatomy and the difference between
previous dissecting anatomy and new anatomy to perform rational
liver surgery without any complications.

A new era for liver anatomy has dawned. With the development of multidetector row
computed tomography (MDCT) in the 1990s, precise volume-rendered 3-D images
could be constructed, leading to new observations. Liver anatomy has since been
reevaluated from the standpoint of portal segmentation and drainage veins and includes
a reclassification of the liver. Better surgical results and fewer complications have
supported the rationale for the new liver anatomy. Based on the work and spirit of
Team Chiba from Chiba University, this publication is a testament to the collaboration,
2009, XII, 191 p. perseverance, and innovation in the field of liver anatomy. With high regard for the
early pioneers in this field, Team Chiba can be credited with pioneering its own antiviral
treatment, percutaneous ethanol injection therapy, radiation therapy, and US-guided
Printed book hepatic resections. It is the team's hope that the new liver anatomy will find acceptance
worldwide and will contribute to the advancement of the health and welfare of mankind.
