The clinical application of LigaSure vessel sealing system combined with crushing clamp method in hepatolobectomy

Objective: To investigate the clinical application of LigaSure vessel sealing system(LVSS) combined with crushing clamp method in hepatolobectomy.Methods: The hepatic artery and vein and less than level 3 branch of portal vein were treated with LVSS and crushing clamp method,the branches of left hepatic vein and middle hepatic vein were treated with 5-0 Proline line ligature combined with LVSS.Results: The time of operation was 127-230 min,the volume of bleeding was 150-500 ml,and the average time of hospitalization stay was 8 to 14 days.No intra-abdominal hemorrhage,bile leakage and death after operation were found.Conclusions: LVSS combined with crushing clamp method in hepatolobectomy was a safe and reliable means.
