A CT-Based 3D Anatomical Mapping Study of Right Posterior Portal and Hepatic Venous Patterns: Revisiting Liver Segmentation and Its Surgical Implication

Background: Classical Couinaud’s segmentation assumes the dichotomous division of the right posterior portal vein (RPPV) into P6 and P7. However, increasing imaging evidence suggests substantial anatomical variability, limiting the intraoperative identification of segmental borde...
