Abstract

Laparoscopic hepatectomy has become a widespread procedure in Japan, now that the national medical insurance system covers partial resection and lateral segmentectomy. An important procedure during laparoscopic hepatectomy is the division of the vascular pedicles. In this paper we report a practical and useful method for vascular division with an Endo Mini-RetractTM retractor and a shortened Nelaton catheter (2.5-mm-diameter) developed in our department.
