    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Surgical Instrumentation
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Limited hepatic resection is common for primary liver cancer, often associated with cirrhosis.
    • Effective surgical tools are crucial for successful liver tumor removal.
    • Existing clamps may have limitations in precision and patient safety during liver resections.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate the efficacy of a newly designed surgical instrument, the Inokuchi liver clamp.
    • To assess the suitability of the Inokuchi liver clamp for various liver resection procedures.
    • To determine the safety and utility of the clamp in a clinical setting.

    Main Methods:

    • Design and development of the Inokuchi liver clamp, featuring a gentle curve, 9 non-traumatic teeth, and double-step locking devices.
    • Application of the Inokuchi liver clamp in 45 liver resection surgeries between August 1981 and February 1984.
    • Surgical procedures included resections for primary and secondary malignant liver tumors and benign hemangiomas.

    Main Results:

    • The Inokuchi liver clamp demonstrated significant utility in limited hepatic resections.
    • The clamp's design facilitated precise and safe liver tissue manipulation.
    • Successful application in a range of liver resection cases, including oncological and benign conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • The Inokuchi liver clamp is a valuable addition to surgical instrumentation for liver resections.
    • Its design offers advantages for both limited and potentially major hepatic procedures.
    • The clamp contributes to improved outcomes in the surgical management of liver tumors.
