Abstract
A liver hanging maneuver is currently being applied for various types of hepatectomies. The most difficult and important step of this technique is to encircle the liver with tape that is passed between the liver and the inferior vena cava, using a blind dissection. This report describes a secure technique for taping utilizing a surgical probe.Entities:
