A simple technique for vascular control during hepatectomy: the half-Pringle - 03/09/11
, E Leen, M.D. bAbstract |
Background: Hemorrhage during hepatectomy remains the major cause of morbidity and mortality associated with this surgery. Traditionally, a Pringle technique is employed to reduce vascular inflow during parenchymal transection.
Methods: This paper describes a simple method to achieve unilateral vascular control during hepatic surgery. The technique has been used in the most recent 10 hepatectomies performed in this unit.
Results: During the hepatectomies, the pattern of vascular inflow was documented with a series of color Doppler images. These images illustrated the effectiveness of the maneuver.
