BACKGROUND: A major challenge in laparoscopic liver resection to avoid massive hemorrhage from the transection plane. METHODS: This study investigated 32 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic or laparoscopically assisted hepatic resection and had the hepatoduodenal ligament encircled by vessel tape using an Endo Retract Maxi as a tourniquet for complete interruption of blood inflow to the liver. RESULTS: Laparoscopic encircling of the hepatoduodenal ligament was performed in a few minutes without any complications for any of the 32 patients. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic Pringle's maneuver using an Endo Retract Maxi can be performed easily for all patients undergoing laparoscopic liver resection.
