摘      要：BACKGROUND:Controversy remains over whether the middle hepatic vein should be included in the liver graft in right liver living donor liver *** in the anterior sector of a right liver graft can cause graft malfunction,which is especially devastating in the case of a graft with marginal size in relation to recipient body size on top of poor pre-transplant recipient *** case we report here highlighted the importance of the middle hepatic vein in right liver living donor liver ***:We illustrated the rectification of outflow obstruction of the middle hepatic vein in the anterior sector of right liver graft caused by technical error during *** rectification was performed with emergency re-routing using an artificial ***:Congestion in the anterior sector of the graft improved immediately and the patient’s postoperative liver function test results improved ***:The middle hepatic vein is important for effective drainage of the anterior sector of a right liver *** re-routing technique described in the report can also be applied to cases in which the middle hepatic vein is injured during hepatectomy requiring immediate reconstruction.
