[Application of high technology in liver surgery]

The PlasmaJet, a modem device that provides a high energy flow of ionized gas which seals small blood and lymph vessels has been recently introduced into clinical practice. A comparative retrospective analysis of results of 59 liver surgery with the help of new surgical technologies and standard surgical technique was performed. Liver resection with the use of high technology was accompanied by significantly less intraoperative blood loss, as well as a significant decrease of postoperative complications.
