Abstract

A major challenge in laparoscopic liver resection to avoid massive hemorrhage from the transection plane.This study investigated 32 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic or laparoscopically assisted hepatic resection and had the hepatoduodenal ligament encircled by vessel tape using an Endo Retract Maxi as a tourniquet for complete interruption of blood inflow to the liver.Laparoscopic encircling of the hepatoduodenal ligament was performed in a few minutes without any complications for any of the 32 patients.Laparoscopic Pringle's maneuver using an Endo Retract Maxi can be performed easily for all patients undergoing laparoscopic liver resection.
