Blood control technology and determination of hepatectomy plane are the core techniques of liver resection, which not only affect the operative performance, but also affect the prognosis of patients.The concept of pre-control the blood vessels in the hepatic segment which should be resected can effective control of bleeding during hepatectomy.A comprehensive application of the ischemic line guidance, the intraoperative ultrasound, the segmental portal staining, fluorescent staining, the hepatic vein-oriented technique, and three-dimensional technique are helpful to precisely determine the boundary of hepatic segment to be resected and guide the hepatectomy plane.
