FIGURE 5. Intraoperative photographs of the plane of transection of the liver after left hepatectomy with caudate lobectomy, which is similar to the transection plane of the right liver graft. A: Supraportal pattern. The orifice of the right posterior sectional bile duct (Bp) is opened cranial to the right anterior portal vein. B: Infraportal pattern. Bp is opened caudal to the right anterior portal vein. C: Combined pattern. Stumps are present cranially and caudally to the right anterior portal vein. RPV, right portal vein; Ba, right anterior sectional bile duct; B5, right anterior inferior segmental bile duct; B8, right anterior superior segmental bile duct; and B6a, ventral subsegmental branch of the right posterior inferior segmental bile duct.
