Open, laparoscopic and robotic hepatic transaction: tools and methods

Bleeding from the liver surface during hepatic transection is one of the mainfactors affecting mortality and morbidity of liver resection. For this reason, numerous devices have been developed that employ a variety of techniques to minimize parenchymal damage and so improve the safety of resection. This book describes all the devices that are currently available for hepatic transectionvia open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches. Procedures are explained and illustrated step by step using informative color figures and photographs. Thislandmark reference in the field will be an ideal guide for liver surgeons as well as a valuable tool for students, residents, and general surgeons.
