Brief summary

Background: until now, there is no agreement about the safest and feasible method for liver parenchyma transection during laparoscopic liver resection. Study design: prospective, randomized, single-center The purpose of the study: comparison of short-term results of two methods of parenchyma liver transection during laparoscopic liver resection

Intervention model description

two groups will be compared. Group 1: liver resection using a bipolar dissector (Erbe), ultracision harmonic scalpel (Ethicon) and water-jet dissector (ERBEJET 2). Group 2: liver resection using a bipolar dissector (Erbe), ultracision harmonic scalpel (Ethicon), and ultrasonic aspirator (Misonix/SonaStar Ultrasonic Surgical Aspiration System)

Inclusion criteria

* Patients with benign lesions (hemangioma, focal nodular hyperplasia \[FNH\], hepatocellular adenoma, biliary cystadenoma, hydatid echinococcosis \[only with total pericystectomy\]) and malignant tumors (colorectal cancer metastases in the liver \[CRLM\], hepatocellular carcinoma \[HCC\], intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma, gallbladder cancer T1b-3NxMo without invasion into bile ducts and adjacent organs), which involves laparoscopic segmental or major resection of the liver. * Gender: both, male and female * Minimum age 18 years * Maximum age: 80 years * ASA physical status I-IV * BMI up to 40 kg/m2 * No simultaneous extrahepatic intra-abdominal procedures (bile duct resection, colon resection, partial duodenum resection) * Total bilirubin up to 100mmol/l if jaundice presents in non-cirrhotic patients * If cirrhosis is present, class A and B according to CTP score

Exclusion criteria

* • Difficulty index \> 12 points (see below) * Tumor invasion of IVC or portal trunk (necessity of vascular reconstruction) * Repeated liver resection before laparoscopic resection (the single resection before is not a contraindication) * Simultaneous extra-hepatic intra-abdominal procedures (bile duct resection, colon resection etc.) * Age under 18 years * Age above 80 years * ASA physical status \>IV * BMI \> 40 kg/m2 * Total bilirubin \>100mmol/l if jaundice presents in non-cirrhotic patients * If cirrhosis is present, class C according to CTP score * Persons who are incapable of giving consent * Pregnant or breast-feeding women * Patients enlisted in other studies

The major characteristic of the CDC system is that the severity of a complication is graded based on the type of therapy required to treat the complication. The CDC system has been validated and accepted worldwide for use in many fields of surgery. The complications that change the treatment of grade II-V.
