Abstract
Recently, laparoscopic procedures for liver resection have been established. Control of bleeding during resection of liver parenchyma is important in successful laparoscopic hepatectomy. The microwave tissue coagulator is useful for liver resection because of the strong hemostasis it yields. However, when handle space is limited, in certain regions coagulation is difficult to perform using the usual straight electrode pole. Using a flexible-neck microwave electrode pole (ENDO ANGLE PROBE), the authors performed laparoscopic partial liver resection for a large hemangioma in the lateral segment and report the usefulness of this instrument for laparoscopic hepatectomy.
