Abstract:
Torrential bleeding from a large defect in the inferior vena cava is a dangerous complication of hepatectomy. Instead of mobilization, encircling and clamping of the inferior vena cava for control, the author described a simpler technique of controlling the defect using the surgeon's fingers. In two such cases, the bleeding was successfully controlled.
