Figure 2. Hilar dissection in robotic anatomic segmentectomy VIII using the extrahepatic Glissonian pedicle approach (GPA). (A) Passing articulated forceps from the Gate IV to V to encircle the Glissonian pedicle of the right anterior section (G-ant). G-post denotes the Glissonian pedicle of the right posterior section; (B) the G-ant encircled extrahepatically. The shining Laennec’s capsule of the segment IV parenchyma is shown; (C) the Glissonian pedicles of the segments V (G-V) and VIII (G-VIII) are taped extrahepatically; (D) the G-VIII is clamped using a bulldog clamp
