Hepatic Vein Reconstruction is a surgery performed to restore the function of the hepatic veins, which are responsible for draining blood from the liver. This procedure is often needed after liver surgery or in patients with conditions like Budd-Chiari syndrome, where the hepatic veins become obstructed.

The surgery typically involves removing any blockages or scar tissue from the hepatic veins and may require the use of a graft to reconstruct the veins. In some cases, a liver transplant may be necessary if the damage to the liver is extensive.

Postoperative care includes managing complications such as bleeding, infection, and monitoring liver function. Patients may need to undergo imaging studies to ensure the veins are patent and blood is flowing properly.

Hepatic vein reconstruction provides life-saving benefits for patients with venous obstructions, improving liver function and preventing further damage to the liver.
