Combined Left Hepatectomy with Fenestration And Using A Harmonic Scalpel, Fibrin Glue and Closed Suction Drainage to Prevent Bile Leakage and Ascites in the Management of Symptomatic Polycystic Liver Disease: A Case Report

Presented by:	Journal of Medical Case Reports / Christopher Kosmidis, Christopher Efthimiadis, George Anthimidis, Sofia Levva, John Prousalidis, Konstantinos Papapolychroniadis and Epaminondas Fachantidis
Summary points:	The authors present the case of a 41-year-old Greek woman who underwent combined left hepatectomy with fenestration for symptomatic polycystic liver disease using ultrasound scalpel, fibrin glue, and closed suction drain to prevent bile leakage, haemorrhage, and ascites. The authors discuss their new surgical approach and show that the technique is effective for the treatment of ascites and for the prevention of bile leakage and bleeding.
