Abstract
It is difficult to reduce blood loss during hepatectomy with cirrhosis. We are using microwave tissue coagulation during hepatic resection. From June 1999 through January 2002, 118 consecutive patients with underwent hepatectomy with microwave tissue coagulation. The change in liver function was not so big and the post operative complication rate was low. We conclude that hepatectomy with microwave tissue coagulation is useful and safe, especially the case of cirrhosis.
