Q

Why can each segment in the liver be resected without damage?

A

Because they are based on their blood supply

- each segment has its own porta hepatis

16
Q

What do the portal veins divide?

A

The upper (superior) and lower (inferior) portions

17
Q

What does the right hepatic vein divide?

A

The right lobe into anterior and posterior sections

18
Q

What plane does the middle hepatic veins run from?

A

The IVC to the gallbladder

- sagittally

19
Q

What does the left hepatic vein divide?

A

The left lobe into medial and lateral sections

20
Q

Which portal vein is more superior?

A

Left portal veins

21
Q

What do the hepatic veins do?

A

They drain blood from the segments and lobes of the liver into the IVC

22
Q

Where are the hepatic veins located?

A

Interlobar and intersegmental

23
Q

Where are you on the liver if you can see the hepatic veins?

A

Superior

24
Q

What are the superior segments of the liver? (5)

A
  1. 7
  2. 8
  3. 4a
  4. 2
  5. 1
25
Q

What does it mean if you can still see the portal vein?

A

This tells you you have not yet reached segments 5 and 6

- because the left portal vein is more superior than the right portal vein

26
Q

What do you see if you are more in the mid region of the liver?

A

The IVC and hepatic veins more distally

27
Q

What segments are above the portal vein? (2)

A
  1. 2

2. 4a

28
Q

What segments are below the portal vein? (2)

A
  1. 3

2. 4b

29
Q

What does it mean when you can see the right portal vein?

A

We are between segments 7 and 8 superiorly and 6 and 5 inferiorly

30
Q

What is the horizontal divider for segments 4a/4b and 2/3?

A

The left hepatic vein

31
Q

What does it mean when the hepatic veins are superficial and you can see some organs?

A

You are quite inferior

- 6, 5, 4b, and 3 segments
