Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether clamp-crush technique for liver parenchymal transection is as safe as Harmonic scalpel device. outcomes will include: perioperative mortality, surgery-related complications, blood loss, amount of blood loss during hepatectomy, operating time, transection speed, markers of liver parenchymal injury and hospital stay.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
blood loss during hepatectomyintraoperativebleeding during transection phase will be calculated in mL. based on the blood in the sucker machine and the surgical towels

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
transection speedintraoperativethe transection speed will be calculated in minutes based on the relation between the transecition time divided by the surface area of the raw area of the graft measured on the backtable.
liver pathology from the cut marginintraoperativethe area of necrosis will be measured in millimeters by the pathologist
