BACKGROUND: The purpose of vascular clamping during the course of liver resection is to reduce bleeding and subsequent complications. AIM: To show both step-by-step surgical techniques for vascular exclusion of the liver and their indications. METHODS: It is described the following techniques: clamping of the hepatic pedicle, "Pringle" maneuver; intermittent clamping of the hepatic pedicle; intermittent vascular exclusion of the liver, without vena cava clamping, and hepatic vascular exclusion with vena cava clamping. Also metabolic and homodynamic consequences as well as the technical failure of the application of each of them are discussed. CONCLUSIONS: The choice of technique to use for clamping during hepatectomy depends on the surgeon's judgment. Dogmatic or systematic attitude, is prejudiciable for the patient and liver surgeon must be able to use all kinds of clamping.
We describe a technique of rectal irrigation using an endo-bowel clamp (PL540S) in laparoscopy-assisted rectal resection. One of the major concerns associated with current techniques of laparoscopy-assisted rectal resection is accidental tumor spillage because it is difficult to perform the necessary procedures without grasping and manipulating the bowel and mesorectum near the tumor. Therefore, sufficient intraoperative rectal irrigation is essential for preventing intraluminal implantation of rectal cancer. However, this can be difficult, especially if the tumor is located in the rectum. By placing a PL540S before transection, it is possible to occlude the rectum completely and irrigate it effectively. We think that the PL540S is a valuable device in laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer.
