A 53-year-old woman underwent a 2-stage right hepatectomy for bilobar metastasis of an ileal neuroendocrine carcinoma. Preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography reconstruction helped to diagnose an intrahepatic venovenous shunts from the right and middle hepatic veins to the left hepatic vein, which could cause a intraoperative bleeding. Hemostasis was performed by means of precoagulation with microwave-assisted coagulation.
