    Transverse right laparotomy at the level of the umbilicus. After transecting the right rectus muscle with bipolar scissors and opening the peritoneum extend the incision in the midline to the xyphoid process. Explore the intestinal organs to rule out other metastases and confirm resectability.

    Depending on the conditions in the field the right colic flexure may have to be freed. Follow this by mobilizing the descending duodenum until the inferior vena cava is exposed along its full length.

    The posterior aspect the right adrenal abuts the diaphragm. The inferior aspect contacts the right kidney and the anteriosuperior aspect borders on the nude area of the liver. The anteromedial aspect of the right adrenal is posterior to the inferior vena cava. Paralleling the inferior vena cava open up the parietal peritoneum covering the anteroinferior aspect of the right adrenal.

    Transect the right triangular ligament before retracting the liver craniad. Now transect the adhesions between the inferior aspect of the liver and the adrenal. The perineoplastic inflammatory reaction will have resulted in intimate contact.

    Note: Surgical procedures on the right retroperitoneum are more difficult than on the left side because enlargement of the liver, obesity and barrel chest may make visualization and control of the surgical field quite difficult.

    Also expose the posterohepatic segment of the inferior vena cava when mobilizing the liver from caudad as well; in doing so, individual veins draining into liver segment 1 must be transected before the right hepatic lobe can be retracted far enough to the left.
