Treatment and study plan

Harmonic Scalpel

Device

a method for liver parenchymal transection

Kelly clamp crush technique

Device

a method for liver parenchymal transection

Primary outcomes

  1. blood loss during hepatectomy

    Time frame: intraoperative

    bleeding during transection phase will be calculated in mL. based on the blood in the sucker machine and the surgical towels

Secondary outcomes

  1. transection speed

    Time frame: intraoperative

    the 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.

  2. liver pathology from the cut margin

    Time frame: intraoperative

    the area of necrosis will be measured in millimeters by the pathologist
