Figure 1 Operative screenshots. (A) An anterior view of the primary steps of dissection through the anterior plane. A vessel-like structure was thought to be a caterpillar hump. (B) An anterior view of the expected critical view of safety. (C) An anterior view of the expected critical view of safety with highlights. (D) The anterior view of the clipped cystic duct and of the 4 out of 5 arteries, with the grasping still in place. The right hepatic artery exhibits a more linear form. (E) The anterior view at the end of the resection reveals a fully visible caterpillar hump.
