The document describes the steps for major hepatic resections. It lists 7 steps: 1) making a skin incision, 2) opening the abdomen and placing a retractor, 3) examining the liver with palpation and ultrasound, 4) taking down the round and falciform ligaments, 5) dividing the left triangular ligament for a left hepatectomy or mobilizing the right lobe for a right hepatectomy, 6) opening the gastrohepatic ligament and assessing the porta hepatis, and 7) performing a cholecystectomy while leaving the gallbladder intact if tumor-involved.

HEPATIC RESECTION
Steps of Major Hepatic Resections
1. First, we have to make the skin incision—right subcostal with or without a partial or complete left subcostal extension across the midline, depending on the patient’s habitus and liver/tumor anatomy. 2. Open and explore the abdomen, and place a fixed table retractor (e.g., Thompson or Bookwalter). 3. Examine the liver with bimanual palpation. Perform liver ultrasound and confirm the operation to be performed. 4. Take down the round and falciform ligaments, and expose the anterior surface of the hepatic veins. 5. For a left hepatectomy, divide the left triangular ligament; for a right hepatectomy, mobilize the right lobe from the right coronary and triangular ligaments. 6. Open the gastrohepatic ligament, palpate the porta hepatis, and assess for accessory or replaced hepatic arteries. 7. Perform a cholecystectomy; leave the gallbladder with the cystic duct intact if the gallbladder is involved by the tumor.
