FIGURE 32.4-1. Illustration of the retroperitoneal margin as defined
at the time of tumor resection. Medial retraction of the superior
mesenteric-portal vein confluence facilitates dissection of the soft
tissues adjacent to the lateral wall of the proximal superior
mesenteric artery (SMA); this site represents the retroperitoneal
margin. PV, portal vein; SMV, superior mesenteric vein. (Fuhrman GM,
