A new technique of dividing the hepatic parenchyma in liver resections is presented. Seven liver resections in six patients were carried out, using a modification of the Radiofrequency assisted hepatectomy technique. The transection zone of the liver was coagulated prior to the division of the parenchyma using a transformed cluster cool-tip Radionics electrode. The reported technique resulted in adequate hemostasis of the raw hepatic surface and minimal blood loss. The aforementioned method seems to be quick and safe especially for local hepatic resections or segmentectomies.
