Lateral Segment Thickness of the Liver Is a Risk Factor for Elevated Liver Enzymes After Laparoscopic Gastrectomy Using the Nathanson Liver Retractor
Lateral segment thickness of the liver and operative duration were independent risk factors for transaminase elevation after laparoscopic gastrectomy using a Nathanson retractor. Although it is an easy and useful liver retractor, alternative methods of liver elevation should be considered in patients at risk of elevated postoperative liver enzyme levels.
