Different vascular clamp methods in liver surgery have led to less complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results after hepatic resection involving different vascular clamping methods and liver function outcome. Our study examined 46 patients who underwent surgery for liver lesions, developed on cirrhotic and noncirrhotic livers, applying the technique of selective clamping and pedicular clamping. There was one death (1/17; 5.9%) due to postoperative liver failure which occurred in a cirrhotic liver patient who underwent left hepatectomy with pedicular clamping. Complication rate was higher, but not significant (4/7; 57.1%) in the group with selective clamping compared to those with pedicular clamping (3/10; 30%). Hemorrhagic complications were observed in a higher rate among patients with selective clamping (3/7; 42.9%) compared to those with pedicular clamping (1/10; 10%). Selective clamping seems to find major indications in patients with chronic liver disease undergoing minimal hepatic resections. Intermittent pedicular clamping seems to be more effective in regards to blood loss and postoperative hepatic function.

Background: Total vascular exclusion (TVE) with liver hypothermic perfusion under venovenous bypass (VVB) is usually needed to perform hepatectomy with Inferior vena cava and hepatic veins resection-reconstruction. An alternative technique is represented by liver resection under intermittent pedicular clamping, IVC total clamping and VVB, without cold perfusion and liver outflow drainage through the VVB. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The patient is a 60-year-old woman with past medical history of right hepatectomy for leiomyosarcoma 14 years previously.

Background: Colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) involving two or three main hepatic veins pose a surgical challenge. For these lesions, compelled surgical strategies have usually included major and/or extended liver resections according to the two-stage hepatectomy (TSH) strategy. More recently, a one-stage transversal hepatectomy resecting the posterosuperior liver segment (7,8,4 superior) along with one or more hepatic veins has been described, such as showed herein in a didactical video.

Purpose: Many authors favor conservative treatment options in oligo-symptomatic non-dislocated cervical fractures. This is mainly because of adverse events, anesthesia times and blood loss associated with surgical treatment of these injuries. We, therefore, sought to minimize the invasiveness of the surgical treatment of simple cervical fractures using image-guidance and a percutaneous approach.

Objective: To assess the influence of vascular clamping and ischemia time on long-term post-operative renal function following partial nephrectomy (PN) for cancer in a solitary kidney.
Patients And Methods: This is a retrospective study including 259 patients managed by PN between 1979 and 2010 in 13 centers. Clamping use, technique choice (pedicular or parenchymal clamping), ischemia time, and peri-operative data were collected.
Background/aims: There has been an increase in the incidence of neoplasms of the liver in recent years, although there is still a fear of performing aggressive surgical procedures in elderly patients, especially regarding hepatic surgery. The objective of this study was to analyse the influence of age on the morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing hepatic resection.
Methodology: This was a study of 414 patients who underwent 447 hepatic resections between November 1993 and December 2010.
