Abstract
Experience and advances in hepatic transplantation have opened the possibility of bench surgery for liver disease. Pichlmayr et al.1 performed the first ex situ liver operation in February, 1998, on a patient to remove large metastases from a leiomyosarcoma of the stomach. We performed an ex situ operation on the liver of a 59-year-old man to remove a large cholangioma with involvement of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and invasion of the right hepatic vein, which otherwise had been assessed as truly unresectable.
