Good work Igor
Nice work, Igor. I noted in the video that the left lobe of the liver seemed to offer some challenges to your visualization. In similar cases, I have used a Nathanson retractor to retract the left lobe cephalad and to the right, which can give you more room to work in the left upper quadrant. Great case! Glad to hear she did well–congratulations and thanks for sharing!
