FIGURE 3.

Glissonian approach using the cystic plate traction methods during open surgery. A: A well‐defined space on the superior side of the hilar plate (single arrow) is revealed by blunt dissection. B: The right Glissonian pedicle is isolated. C: The cystic plate traction method can draw out the extrahepatic right anterior Glissonian pedicle and thus maximize the pedicle length. The pedicle is then easily isolated by connecting the space on the upper side of the hilar plate and the lateral side of the anterior branch. D: The right anterior Glissonian pedicle is encircled
