Abstract:
A simple technique is described to perform hepatectomy. The technique consists of portal vein blood flow occlusion using degradable starch microspheres injected through an ultrasonically-guided puncture at the point of resection root and hepatic artery occlusion. The method minimizes ischemic damage to the liver remnant and is easy to perform.
